  Everyone else here seems to be able to post just fine. It's not our fault that you have zero tact and can't handle anyone liking different teams than you.

  And I said that fan bases should be able to be excited about players putting up numbers. Talking heads are already discussing him in Heisman talks. I wasn't slamming anyone, just saying its part of college football.
• Tiernan

  Wow I had to leave for a couple hours to go play a real sport instead of sitting in my wheelchair and typing with my tongue like Lotz & 1227 have to do being two of Jerry's kids.
  
  ,,,but LJ brings up some very revealing stats with the Defensive rankings. scUM apperas to be a very mediocre football team that happens to be 3 - 0 because of the scheduling Santa Claus. And if they are THAT bad what does it say about ND and UConn? MSU may run rule ND tonight. And the Big East overall is deplorable. Mike & Mike stated several times this week the Big 10 appears to be the strongest conference by a long shot this year...and we all know who is the strongest team in the strongest conference don't we?

  MSU may run rule ND? Every time you post the board gets dumber.

  I just got home from Ann Arbor, have a few quick thoughts on today's game.
  
  Denard is FAST. Like, REALLY fast. The entire offense just looks really quick off the line, and the OL makes excellent blocks for the QB and RBs.
  
  With that said, this offense WILL NOT survive the Big Ten season without a good running game. Shaw, Smith or someone needs to really step up and pick up the slack.
  
  Stonum looked damn good today.
  
  Our defense is fucking horrible. HORRIBLE. I'd give my left nut to see Morgan Trent back at the UofM.. and that's sad.

  Just a dose of reality

  
  Well, let's see. If you've only played 2 games, and 1 team lights you up for 500+ yards, where would expect to be ranked?

  ND hasn't given up 215 yards in the first half to MSU tonight or anything. That offensive juggernaut team, woooo
  
  Make excuses for teams that you beat, seem surprised when you go 7-5

  Ok.
• Trueblue23

  

  Webfire I really don't know how you can say anything positive about our D right now.
  
  Aside from Roh, Martin and Mouton, there isn't much good to say.

  I didn't say anything about the defense.
• LJ

  

  ND gave up 475 yards to MSU, yep, just skewed by 1 game

  Posting facts is now trolling? nice to know, lulz. I'm just having a discussion. I never came in and said "Michigan is shit blah blah blah". I posted actual facts. Doesn't matter if you like it or not, but please learn what a troll is.
• Hb31187

  

  So LJ how about those GREAT defenses you listed...Iowa and Michigan st? Iowa is getting clownstomped and Michigan state gave up like 440 yards to ND......

  MSU isn't that great and Iowa's "Clownstomping" they have given up a total of 229 yards LOL. Short field and KO return has killed them. Iowa is still a much better D than anything UM has faced.
• LJ

  

  21 points in 8 total offensive yards? Yeah, Iowa's D is really getting clownstomped
• Hb31187

  

  You said yourself earlier, that MSU, Iowa, Wisky and OSU have GREAT defenses that UM would struggle against..... So which is it, are they not that great, or great
• Tiernan

  Iowa is a very good team and AZ is schooling them right now.

  never said great. anything top 50 is a "top defense". Iowa's D has given up 13 points and 229 yards tonight. Arizona has scored 21 points on 8 total yards, An INT return and a kick return is what did them in.
  
  MSU.... ND has a really good offense, but the MSU's defense didn't play well at all. It should concern you more that ND gave up 450 yards to MSU. Might put the win over ND into more perspective.
  
  I'll put some cash on my prediction if you are so confident that I am wrong.

  Oh you didnt say that?

  word, didn't remember that. I'm only concerned with MSU at this point. Arizona hasn't done squat on O against Iowa tonight, I stand by my statement with the other teams.
• Tiernan

  Get back on track here boys and that is busting scUM's nutz on what was essentially a loss in respectability yesterday. Hopefully all this crazy talk of scUM "being back" will cease until they actually beat somebody.
• WebFire

  In the meantime, OSU will be gloating about their victories over "top defenses" such as Ohio, Marshall and Eastern Michigan, as well as an over-ranked Miami that threw the ball to the wrong team.
