NSFW Did people really think we would beat the #2 team in the country???

[Sous Chef]

It was a better effort offensively than Cockeye had at Penn St last week
I was expecting us to look like Cockeye last week
If we look just as inept at Illinios next week, then it’s worth getting upset about
The result today was expected & honestly I don’t think they gave it their best shot bc of the short week in a game which is more important
Beat Illinois & the West can be won

It's a fine line between hope and delusion.

Conspiracy theory time. Rhule knew after the first quarter we weren't winning that game so we shut down the QB run game to save HH for the rest of the schedule.

Have you watched any other big10 west games this yr?
Everyone is trash

Thsts not a conspiracy
They shut down HH running & put Grant on the shelf
Honestly it looked like the whole team took the attitude to just get thru today & move onto the short week into a bye
If they play like shit next week & lose
Then be pissed
Today sucked bc it looked like we were a JV squad & even Michigans JV squad toyed with us
But our conference season starts next week
This was always going to be an ugly L
Just find at least 4 ugly wins agsibst a putrid schedule

I went through the score prediction thread and basically everyone predicted it being more competitive than it was.

There were 46 predictions made. 44 of them had Michigan winning by less than they did (or Nebraska winning outright). 2 had Michigan winning by more than they did.

I sent a 35-3 prediction to my amigos. Not sure why anyone thought this game would be close. But good for the eternal optimists.

Michigan will probably still win the B1G.

I want to go to the Ohio vs Michigan game. Should be good

Michigan and Washington look like the two best teams in the country to me.

And we are the worst team in the big ten. That's just the facts as they stand right now in part due to injuries but also because we have the least talented roster as well. But its deeper than just physical talent. We can all pretend that we didn't see a Nebraska team that had already given up on the game sometime last week. And we can all pretend that it doesn't matter. But it does matter. Quitting is as we've seen for the last several years an easy path for the majority of our roster. I can't really even feel any measure of anger or disgust which I should. But it also lets me see things clearly. Could this team win the west? If they were to give it their all each and every game I'd give it 10%. Yes the talent disparity is large between NU an MU. But we've all seen far less talented teams challenge and on rare occasions beat very talented teams. It takes lightning in a bottle for upsets sure, but what it takes first is a team that believes in themselves. Michigan didn't break a sweat. Our boys were already thinking about where to party tonight when they were getting dressed in the locker room for the game. We have a loser mentality that's pretty endemic on this team. It's like a parasite of the mind for these guys. I firmly believe that every team we play the rest of the season is going to want to win more than our team will. In a sloppy pillow fight that will count the most.

I feel the same but here the catch, where TF is the youth movement in the OL, QB, RB, WR? We seriously need to hit the portal hard next year and give any and every OL recruit and WR recruit that's legit whatever amount they want. We are terrible on the OL even the back ups are terrible.

OL isn’t a “youth movement” position the rest- yeah we need a massive talent infusion ASAP

We are in year 8 of “rebuilding” …. its time to find a staff that’s going to come in and win some fucking football games! All i see is loser culture so far. You fuckin losers think its acceptable to get butt fucked at home by 50? You’re part of the problem. Give em another 3 years you fuckin losers!

Sure as fuck isn’t taking other first year coaches 3 years to have a pulse! What are your thoughts on Rhule’s staff and player acquisition this last offseason? Fuckin joke!

You're not offering any sort of solution that can help *right now.*

We're all in this shitty situation together and it's not changing the rest of the season bc the personnel isn't changing (it'll actually only get worse as more players get injuries).

I understand you want to put "everything sucks/we're fucked" posts out there multiple times/day, every day for the rest of the season - but it doesn't do any good and it changes fuck all.

You're gonna post the same shit 10,000 times between how and Dec 1st - it's not changing anything. Do you think Turd is reading your posts? That'd be the only way your 10,000 carbon copied posts would make any difference. What's your solution for the Illinois game? (hint: you don't have one)

Then come up with something new or just give it a rest. We all know your takes by now. You're literally gonna post the same crybaby shit every day for the rest of the year.

Step 1 hire a fucking competent, experienced coaching staff

Step 2 go get some fucking players

We all know what needs to happen. Find a guy who’s going to do it!

Doogie Howser got a cabinet full of pop tarts for our receivin core after that performance today!! Booyah!

"You guys didn't seriously think Nebraska would put up the same level of fight at home that East Carolina, UNLV, Bowling Green, and Buttgers did on the road....did you?"

I had a feeling that these types of transitive property analyses wouldn’t be relevant for this game. U-M walks in to the first game they cared about this year.
