Haha, coach rocking the plaid!

Let's fuch these michiguan tits.

You're welcome for my contribution.

Find his mom and dad's phone number and call them. Let them know what a douche bag their son has turned out to be (if they don't already know).

Have you contacted Paypal yet? What are they saying?

Finally got a hold of him. We purchased from him section 2, row 48. And he's saying all he has is section 15's, lol. What a cluster fuck.

I'm going to try to get my money back and just get new tickets. Not sitting on scum side.

 

[Cackalacky]

They have no chance to survive. Make your time, skunkbears.

They must lie in made bed. Death comes for them all.

I see Morgan is a SR. He's a starter too, right? Good, give us 3 more starters and we're even.

He was slated to start against us at the MIKE. He's their best run stuffer.

I'd rather not have one of their starters not playing due to injury, but I get what you are saying.

 

[Irish Insanity]

So let's say someone hypothetically got completely fucked over on $600 of tickets, and had to repurchase STAT.

Would section 36, 131, 132, or 133 be the best place for a raging fan to watch the game?

For realz?

Where do opposing fans generally sit?

Kelly, at the presser today, took pains, as I heard it, to downplay the "Last Game Against Michigan" angle. In response to a question about whether playing Michigan had any special meaning for him, given his Grand Valley years, etc., and playing in the UM's shadow, Kelly clearly deflected/conflated the question into a "Yeah, we got used to playing under Michigan and Michigan State's shadow, etc...." But he clearly broadened the question beyond U Mich.

Later, I think there was another question related to the Last Game theme and Kelly played it as "We just need to do what we need to do. Sure it's a big game, but they're all big and we just need to focus on doing our individual jobs and becoming a better team." Kelly did respond about the scheduling makes it harder, and, yes, too bad it couldn't be worked out, but cie le vie." [All my words, not his.]

To me, all these responses were clear deflections from the Last Game focus.

On the other hand, I understand that Hoke in his presser talked about that there is "significance" to this being the Last Game given the historic and national significance of the programs. U Mich DE Clark described ND ending the series as a "slap in the face." The Detroit media, from the little I've seen, is also presenting it as a ND cut and run.

My question is, what do you make of these different focuses?

And is ND, playing with a business as usual attitude, at an emotional disadvantage playing a team that is focused on the "slap in the face" and historicity of winning the Last Game? I'm interested in your learned opinions.

Yeah, for real.

I think in that area.

None of it will matter once the pads start popping.

I don't think he is deflecting regarding Fuck Michigan but that sounds like every other interview I have heard from him. "ATTENTION TO DETAIL, DO YOU JOB, EARN YOUR PLACE, YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE..."

It appears to me also that getting up for every team ND plays would be exhausting. I mean ND does not have a breather in their schedules like other top teams. We have traditional games and play elite teams yearly but the statements he made above seem like the best way to handle it in private and public. But I also believe that he gives those firery speeches like last years USC halftime speech when they are needed, we are just not privy to all of them.

I think you make a good point here. "Getting up " every week is almost guaranteed to set us up for an emotional pitfall. This schedule needs a business like approach week to week.

We're better than Michigan. If we execute properly there is no way they can beat us. Plain and simple.. And I think thats why BK had the players focusing not on Michigan right away but on their own responsibilities and progression.

Just go out there and do your job and the better team will win. The hype will be there no matter what.

That is what I meant...HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS EACH DAY.

Also I am not surprised Fuck Michigan is saying that stuff. Who else do they have outside of OSU and MSU?

You guys make good points. I do think there is a rhyme and reason to the two different approaches. I don't think it's irrelevant what the preparation focus is. I guess I can see both coaches' rationales.

I strongly agree with the view that Michigan needs ND a lot more than vice versa. Michigan rarely sees prime time except when they play ND. I remember the Alabama game a year or two ago, and some regional broadcasts -- Uconn, eg -- but without ND, they can't count on a primetime showcase. That accounts for the heartache and hurt feelings on their end. Honestly, regardless of outcome, Michigan may not be even the fifth best team on ND's schedule this year.

It has to be business as usual. Otherwise you set yourself up for failure the following week. BK will bring some emotion on Saturday, but when those kids come out of the tunnel with those lights on, they will get amped up.

Screw Michigan!

 

[Irish8248]

I took it as BK doesn't really care about Michigan outside of it as being a big game. But he seemed rather happy and content to schedule Georgia and Texas. It felt like BK was just trying to give an answer that couldn't come back to hurt him

 

[koonja]

Can we get some more Fuck Michigan going on up in this bitch?

F U C K Michigan. We need to take a big Michigan on them

Hoke is recording every thing BK says this week hoping for something he can play for his team. They need false motivation which doesn't work all the time.

 

[rocket66]

This recent discussion here makes me think of the recent statistics of the top 30 or so coaches and their records vs top 25 teams. There is something interesting to taking the business like approach to big games instead of overhyping your guys and turning them into a potential emotional disaster.
The coaches who had great records in the big games all have business-like approaches -Stoops, Shaw, Saban. Guys like James Franklin who juices his guys up before the game has a total of 1 win vs top 25.

I think we have the right guy and he's handling it perfectly.

 

[A2forND]

I was at the App State game for exactly one half Saturday....terrible. I work less than 3 mins from the big house (or as I like to call it ground zero) Local sports and media are crowning Gardner the messiah, and Funchess the Virgin Mary. I admit he does scare me...but haven't we shut him down the last two years?? The koolaid does flowth maize and blue in Asquared....

If we're talking about Gardner, we pretty much made him look like a Heisman finalist last year. Funchess? Not sure, but with Gallon going ape-sh1t in the secondary, I don't think they were worried too much.

 

[palinurus]

If Gardner made 10% of the plays he made vs ND last year, vs Ohio State last year, Mich would have won easily. Hell, UConn nearly beat Michigan. ND was his best game, from what I recall. The joke was that while Gardner played great the night he got Tom Harmon's number 98 (vs ND), by game 6, Harmon was calling from the Great Beyond, wanting his jersey back.

Can't remember (too many blows to the head before targeting became illegal) what that receiver's name was last year who ate us up. It was him as much as it was Gardner.
