  Robinson may have tweaked an ankle and not 100%. Nothing to keep him from playing, though. I am still trying to find more/credible source(s).

  He's got almost a week to recover anyway

  Sounds like possible bad info anyway.

  I'll eat my words if necessary, but if Hoke doesn't win the conference championship and/or beat Ohio State next year, he'll never win against OSU or win a conference championship with Urban Meyer at the helm and you can take that to the bank.

  Nope. My other thread had nothing to do with Michigan losing. I know you have a hard time comprehending what people are discussing since you are too busy doing a terrible sleeper impression. So eat shit.

  This is so stupid, While at Florida Urban had some down years, It's not like he has never lost a s a coach before I think he will do good things, but to say Michigan will never beat them again is foolish, Heck even Tressel lost to them once.

  Watching those highlights of the Notre Dame game in that video, I didn't realize how awful ND's defense is. Not a knock on Michigan, but ND looked putrid on those highlights. Like they didn't know what the hell they were doing.

  Absolutely. The secondary was awful.

  not disagreeing that they played a horrible fourth quarter. Just saying they didn't suck and dominated the rest of the game. Those "intentional" underthrows from Denard gave them trouble late in the game.

  So did the wide open receivers.

  One blown coverage that led to the one long play when Michigan was backed up near its own goal line. The rest was bad reactions to horribly thrown balls.

  I see. 1 very long play on blown coverage (to lose the game), a bad 4th quarter, and not judging jump balls well, but otherwise the defense was good.

  tough break for a senior...

  NEW ORLEANS — Will Heininger’s quest to play in his final college football game has come up short.
  On Sunday, Michigan coach Brady Hoke pretty much ruled out the starting defensive lineman for Tuesday’s Sugar Bowl against Virginia Tech. Heininger has worn a boot since spraining his right foot a few days before Christmas and was a long shot to play.
  “Heininger probably isn’t going to be ready,” Hoke said. “He’s tried.
  “It just going to be a shame because he’s played his senior year like a senior should and done a great job as a leader up front. The next guy steps in and it’s an expectation for the position.”
  In other news, Hoke said Will Hagerup has fended off Matt Wile to secure the punting job and Thomas Gordon will start over Troy Woolfolk at free safety.
  Hoke also mentioned junior cornerback J.T. Floyd filed paperwork with the NFL draft advisory board to receive feedback on his draft potential. Hoke expects Floyd to return for his senior season.

  Well, in all fairness ND did have to go against Gallon and Hemingway, probably the best receiving duo in Michigan history.
