Bobda, Congratulations on your victory today over the Buckeyes! Our string of victories was bound to end at some time. Robinson is very exciting to watch. I thought both teams played very well today and an exciting game. We had our chances, but Michigan deserved the win. Hope you and the family have a joyous Christmas Season amd a Happy New Year. Don
A great game to watch with both teams going back and forth, the rivalry is only going to get better and this is great for college football...The Michigan crowd was incredible...
Thanks guys. M was fortunate to win. If Miller hit Posey in stride on the the deep pass during the Buckeye's last possession, I would have been on here for the 8th time in a row posting a congratulatory note to the SB Buckeye fans. I thought before the game that the Buckeyes were outmanned and that M would roll to an easy victory as the B did the last three years when they played outclassed M teams. Instead, the Buckeyes fought us on even terms and, at the end, were one pass play away from pulling off a major upset on the road before a fanatical Michigan crowd screaming for slaughter. I can't describe how impressed I was by the effort and determination of your players and the job your coaching staff did in preparing them for that game. The thought three more years of Miller and the possible addition of Urban, means I better enjoy this win because you guys are going to be a terror again next year.
You have to give Hoke credit where it's due. He and his staff took a bad UM team and made them good, he used Robinson very well and I give Denard a ton of credit for being a firey team leader. He's a great college player who is a big time difference maker. But everybody knew that already, the real transformation was due to Mattison who transformed a soft defense into a good solid tough defense.
You're too kind Bobda....that thought crossed my mind as well immediately after the overthrow for a few fleeting seconds. It was replaced by the vision of my recurring afternoon nightmare of Denard spinning, twisting, juking and running away from yet another befuddled Buckeye defender whilst driving his team downfield to score in the closing seconds and crush our souls.....in truth I think the overthrow just saved scores of Buckeye faithful from going over the cliff. We had no answers....
I'm a little bit surprised that M didn't get into the BCS top 14 where you have to be in order to be selected as an at large BCS team. They are just outside at #16 and with 1 more poll coming out they could still slip into that top 14.
