Maryland isn't stupid. Durkin now has an everlasting harbaugh tag on the Michigan Maryland game and was a MONSTER RECRUITER. Sucks for dontavious Jackson THIS IS WHAT WORRIES ME

Any chance M "finds a way" to run the ball vs. Ohio State. Hate expecting Rudock to pitch for upwards of 300 yards v. Bucknuts. Still think either the D or special teams need to come up with "something" in order to win this game.

Durkin to LSU.........Miles comes back to M as D Coordinator.......... I don't think Miles has coached defense at any point in his entire career. Apologize for not adding to my post regarding Miles back to M............

Durkin to LSU.........Miles comes back to M as D Coordinator.......... Shafer just got fired at Syracuse. If Durkin leaves, he would be available to come back for the 2nd go round at Michigan but without Dickrod's 3-3-5 mandate. Harbaugh liked Shafer at Stanford. Coaching carousel this year will be utterly insane! If Fisher makes the move to LSU who goes to Tallahassee? RichRod may have coached his last game at Zona. Word is Va Tech is hot after him & good chance the courtship could be mutual.

LSU in big trouble. Wonder if Les is really in danger. Word is there is some negotiating going on regarding the $15 Mil buyout.

There is talk that if Les Miles loses either of the next two games he will be canned at LSU. Durkin to LSU.........Miles comes back to M as D Coordinator..........

Would love to see the D get back on track & shutdown Minny. And I mean SHUTDOWN! I know Minny's D has been struggling but I don't think this O is going to throw a bunch of points on the board tonight. Plus the focus from Minny should be strong in light of the Coach Kill situation. No mistakes tonight boys and intensity, intensity, intensity!

I still consider myself a fan, I just cannot get invested in this team anymore. I hope they do well, I follow them, but I just let go and don't care after a certain point. Unfortunately, this point came around the 4th quarter in game #1! This is about where I'm at. Besides, Saturday is my true investment day. Keep an eye/ear on the scoreboard but unless I have total down time on Sunday I'm not hunkering down to view in it's entirety.

It isnt the coach. Ken Holland has done nothing to really upgrade the defense. No chances are generated from the back end. The forwards have to do it all themselves. Actually, spot on. NONE of the young D have stepped up. Now Nyquist could stand to look for his shot more but hopefully that will come. Also, seems other teams make "veteran" free agent signings & they seem to pan out to a certain extent. Wings "veteran" free agent signings have been dumpster fire. I know it's early but lets hope Richards & Green start showing something.

Just realized that the Semi Final games are being played on New Years Eve at 3 & 7 p.m. No real issues with the 3 o'clocker but the 7 o'clock game could be at a shaky start time with "party responsibilities" and all. Wish they would have moved some of the Saturday Bowl games over to NYE & pencil in the 2 semi's for Saturday.
Thoughts?

I don't get why we are even talking about Hoke. Is this normal to have the fired former coach opine on every game the year after? John L Smith says he would have had the punt return on! But hey, with everyone else weighing in, why not hear from Matt Millen? He's still an idiot. So why don't the voters have TCU with "one loss" too. They beat Texas Tech on a 4th down pass with 23 seconds to go that ricocheted off one receivers hands into a seconds receivers hands at the back of the end zone. Ultra lucky catch. Right place right time scenario.

Good question. I am not real familiar with the new coach, but heard he is real good with strategy & handling the locker-room. In the first 3 games it has certainly showed or maybe the players are just ecstatic Babcock left. Honeymoon over??????????

i dont know how you can listen to them regularly. V is a troll and F doesnt know what hes talking about
Amazing how GOOD the show was they first started & competed with Stoney & Wojo. Mike was all about using the facts and had good commentary about all Sports & was able to drag TFoss along with him, But once S & W went bye bye...........WOW! Off the rails the show went.

Real short because I have been busy, but after reflecting and watching the replay again, I put this loss 99% on Harbaugh and 1% on Oniell. Kid had no chance to even get that punt off given the fact that MSU was being all 11. Secondly, and I brought this up to a friend on Saturday, Micchigan should have just gone for it. A run up the middle takes minimum 3-4 seconds off the clock, and a wide run takes 5-6. Best case you get the 2 yards needed and game is over. Worst case you get stuffed for no gain and the Spartans get a Hail Mary chance. In that case, you have Connor Cook trying to throw the ball about 60 yards into a 10MPH wind. He doesn't have the cannon to get it there. Harbaugh went with the other
If you watch the replay CLOSELY.....you will notice that the punter DROPPED the ball. If he doesn't DROP the ball.....he is able to PUNT the ball downfield as there was no breakthrough on the kickers right side in which he was going to kick the ball, thus essentially that would have ended the game. So you MUST fault him more than 1%, which means it's less than 99% Harbaugh's fault.
Was it dumb for the gunner to stay out on the wide side of the field, hell yes, but the punt still should have been able to be made.

Totally disagree! No coach would play for the first down. Play for the punt everytime! I will give you this, I did say prior to the punt "F" the rugby style....as Spielman said, catch, 1 step, punt.....and you damn well better practice that style once in a while in practice, so that part should be on the coaching!
Just heard a Spartan guy call in the 97.1 & say, "every coach teaches to play 60 minutes, and some guys on the Michigan sideline just didn't want to play those last 10 seconds, & the guy for the Spartans did. That's why they won the football game". Are you frickin' kidding me???????!!!!!!!!!! The callers on Sports talk radio........
i didn't say go for it on 4th. at that point you should be able to punt. would have rather gotten a 1st there and not had to worry about it. Got ya Reggie. I actually said same thing to my buddy after 2nd down. Just go get the first down & lets do the Victory formation without Sparty touching the ball. Just a touchy subject so soon after this disaster happening.

Drew Lane out at 105.1. He was awful. Yeah, as a sports talk listener he offered nothing. Kinda like MOST of the callers to sports talk.

I don't have to deal with Spartans, but yeah I'm angrier today than yesterday. Could have played osu at home with a lot on the line. Back on the road next year. I hear you............but the O$U game is STILL huge. If we had an offensive juggernaut I would have felt real confident that we'd keep winning until then, but with Rudock & the offensive line not a strong suit, I could have still seen us dropping a road game against an inferior opponent. Wanted the MSU game so bad I've gone Sparty & say I'd trade that win for a couple losses the rest of the way prior to O$U. Hate to go Sparty but that's where I'm at right now!

i seriously doubt doing some crazy thing you probably don't practice much (if ever) is a good idea there. i'm a bigger fan of just getting a fucking first down. Totally disagree! No coach would play for the first down. Play for the punt everytime! I will give you this, I did say prior to the punt "F" the rugby style....as Spielman said, catch, 1 step, punt.....and you damn well better practice that style once in a while in practice, so that part should be on the coaching!

Having "never played the game".....Would any coach possibly say to his punter before the play what to do in case you fumble the snap or what to do if the snap goes over your head? I know you don't want to plant that seed, but the fact is if he falls on the ball after bobbling it State's gotta line up for a 58 yarder or going hail Mary. Could have lived with that to say the least.
