So basically he won't be out there on the opening kick off. Sounds about right.

That's unfair. He will also not be permitted to play defense, if OSU kicks off to start the game.

 

[connor_in]

Haven't seen a betting line for how long he'll sit out

 

[connor_in]

MSU still finishes B1G undefeated in Conference and still won every B1G game by double digits.

My guess is even if they hadn't lost to our boys they still wouldn't have made it to the NC. Started too far back and not much respect.

Wash Post's John Feinstein trashed Urban this past week.

Urban Meyer teaches Marcus Hall and his teammates the wrong lesson - The Washington Post

Whatever the merits of Feinstein's column, and I agree with it, mostly, Feinstein (and I) were wrong about the Marcus Hall issue. Meyer didn't play him at all on Saturday, apparently.

Hall sits out Ohio State loss

Maybe I should post this on the alma mater thread....

Man how good does that MSU win look now? At the time I was frustrated a bit with another close win against an "inferior" opponent.

 

[connor_in]

Crapsicle so Meyer actually did the right thing and benched the kid? Good for him. But sorry...one right does not outweigh so many other wrongs in his career.

As far as the song goes I can see where some people will be ticked off as we had our own issue this year. However, the fact that it happened on his only loss as a coach will make it look worse to those OSU fans that care.

Any idea what Michigan will be playing in? Or USC for that matter?

Last I saw, Mich vs Georgia in Gator Bowl and So Cal vs. Fresno St in Las Vegas.

I wouldn't give Meyer too much credit; his initial reaction was that Hall would not be suspended. He was more than likely forced into the decision from the B1G and outside media pressure.

He benched him, but he still played at least one snap I heard the commentators say.

I saw both of these too. I think UofM gets jail sexed by UGA, just destroyed.

 

[phork]

Michigan has a great record against the SEC.

No way, there might not be a more overrated team in the nation than UGA.

 

[palinurus]

This surprised me a little. I didn't think Urban engendered this much anger. I mean, this is years later now.

(Posting question: until today, when I posted a link, the title of the article showed up as the link; now it just shows "Yahoo!! Sports". It works but does include the article. anyone know why?)

 

[IrishLax]

Michigan can definitely beat Georgia without Murray.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

One of those guys signed at UF to play for Urban, think that entitles him to feel bitter towards Corch Irving Meyers.

B1G! B1G!

The ACC move looks better and better every day.

 

[ACamp1900]

It's so funny because years ago, maybe three or so, I made a case for moving to the ACC and was just BBQ'd for it... lol... though in fairness one of my points was the pretty uniforms in the ACC

Good lord that's atrocious. We have 3 marquee home games:

Michigan, Stanford, Louisville

To go along with 3 marque away games:

FSU, USC, ASU

And MSU, and Navy, and UNC... next year's schedule is potentially just hopeless.

We don't play sparty next year.

2016 at MSU is the next game.

Is Bridgewater entering the draft? It would make that game completely different

We dont?? Lordy Mercy Me... when did that happen? Have they dropped the full official load yet? Or is it still being wroked out?

 

[ACamp1900]

On a slightly related note, is anyone else ready to tell ASU to f themselves forever and all time after this season??? The crap they pulled and the move their AD made publicly when schools across the country were accommodating with each other over the realignment/scheduling issues… still sits wrong… They could have worked out another home and home in the near future to ADD a game to it for crying out loud… honestly if I am Swarbrick I avoid all relations with ASU moving forward…

Its been official. We are going on a rotating schedule with 2 year breaks.
