Comments on The Only Game That Matters: Luckless, Hapless, and Star Crossed...

Did you watch the game, Anonymous? Or did you read the score, and leap up to heap criticism on the team?

As far as ND going "run run run punt"
the rest of the game, I suppose you could make that argument, although Michigan's yards/play was pretty high too - I have a hard time seeing Charlie saying "well, that's it, we've scored enough, I think I'll just rely on Michigan to fumble the ball 3 more times."

We'll have to see what Brian's UFR yields in terms of the Michigan defense/ND offense.

Michigan may very well suck, but I thought they looked better than ND on Saturday when they weren't fumbling the ball all over the place. And yes, I know, the fumbles are a sign of ineptitude too, and you can't throw them out entirely, but sheesh, when the offense got going, ND was pretty powerless to stop it.

"... but I’m not worried, ours was the better football team today." Are you kidding me? Take off the maze and blue colored glasses and face the fact that Michigan SUCKS! Not just a little bit either. You just got smoked by a clueless Notre Dame team. You are in for a long couple of years. You'll be lucky to end up with a record equal to that of Notre Dame's last year. The same Ohio State that just got waxed by USC is going to destroy your pathetic excuse for a football team.

Yeah, because ND should really open up the offense when they were up no less than 11 points from 4 minutes in. Michigan did nothing to stop ND in the first half and then ND just ran, ran, ran, punt for the rest of the game. But I guess they should have continued to throw bombs all afternoon to make a point. Playing it close to the vest in a driving rainstorm while up 2 or 3 scores doesn't make it obvious enough.

I guess in funtime fantasy land "no answer for ND"...

I guess in funtime fantasy land "no answer for ND" means 260 yards of total offense (with over 100 coming on two plays) and a total of two touchdowns after that miraculous gift of a first quarter.

You, anonymous sir, are unquestionably an idiot.

I think the weather saved UM from getting blown out. When the rain came ND played it close to the vest given they were up two scores. In the second quarter ND was averaging 12 yards per pass and 6 yards per rush. The UM defense had no answer for ND until ND played it close to the vest in the driving rain.
