Judges line-up in FU formation. How fitting.

As bad as the refs are, this is an example of Jimmy and Joe's, not x and o's.

There isn't one player on Rutgers roster that would start for UM. They are more talented at every position. Their lines are destroying ours.

who's censoring anything -seems to me you're trying to do that to me--but saying the games"over" before the second half kickoff is pathetic and too easy
I didn't say games over. I said it's going to be tough and my upper bounds for us scoring was low 20s before the game and that was with their former qb who I knew wasn't so good. I said it would take some big plays before the game and that still holds because I thought it would be tough for us to move it consistently on them. I give all my reasoning. Not we just we suck, this sucks that sucks, etc..

I didn't censor anything. If you think we can win great or say we can win here's why? I never advocate censoring anyone regardless of opinion, not a fan of it or ridiculing others who might disagree. Talking about surrender etc..and being facetious at best to those talking about the outlook. Talking about a game outlook isn't surrendering. It's discussing what's happening at the moment and your feelings about it.

I'm sure ash's locker room pep talk wasn't--"guy's the game's basically over, let them run up the score"

When people were calling for Gio I kept my mouth shut because I knew he was not the answer. We need a QB and an OL

We are improved, we just don't have the players to battle a team with the athletes a program like UM has. They can make mistakes (we have a pick already) and not pay for them, we make a mistake (even something as simple as a holding penalty on first down), and we pay for it. It's a lot of pressure. I hope Kill sticks around for another year because another part of what I think I'm seeing is that he came in and didn't have much time to familiarize himself with the personnel. Add to this Ash's ultra-conservative philosophy, and between the players and playcalling, we are outmatched even against a struggling team like Michigan. We need to score the next TD to keep the game from getting totally out of hand.
I agree. And we tend to miss often on big play opportunities (tackle behind line of scrimmage, Hester dropping probable pick-6, Gio missing Grant when he was open downfield). Their freshman qb is very good.

As soon as you saw the back up QB come in and make his first pass completion, you knew where this was going.

you can review the play, but all you will see is a huge pile.
No way to overturn.
I have to admit, I am really close to turning off the TV (for the first time during a football game).
It will not be because of RU play, it will be because of hearing the announcers man crush on the next Andrew Luck. I mean, wth....it was bad enough with jabril peppers (At least he had accomplished something)

Terrible angle by Roberts on that TD run. LB's have been a liability in the run game.

At least Peters isn't from Jersey.

handwriting was on the wall with our DL getting beat up, all they needed was a passer
