TEMPTATION

Love this song again.

What is this familiar reflux I feel?

Dfense – Seriously? where’s the pressure up front? Martin with 1 good reach on the first play, o/w silent. T-wolf out. Oh shit. At least it’s the Left ankle this time.

Ofense – Denard is like wriggly spaghetti. Why aren’t we exploiting Koger height more? Love the Toussaint push.

Wear em down in the second, go up 17 on the first drive.

Go Blue!

The mere hiring of Coach Hoke has sent Pryor and Tressel packing...

agree

at least we have started to blitz but….gotta get ALOT better on D….

yeah,

this D won’t fly against ND next week. Oh wait….

agree

but at least we have some guys who look like defensive playmakers. we haven’t had that since graham left. The last time we’ve had TV announcers talking about any Michigan front 7 pressure was the bowl game against Tebow.

What would Yzerman do?

History

Herron’s 94 yard interception return was the longest in modern Michigan history (at least since WW-II, don’t think they kept any stats before then)

by DrBogue on Sep 3, 2011 4:09 PM CDT reply actions  

At least we're trying to pressure the QB

Thank the lord we have a real defensive coordinator. Talent’s not their yet, but the future looks bright, especially when I look at the 2012 recruiting class.

For every complex problem, there is an answer that is simple, easy to understand, and wrong.

queston:

now that we’re back in a pro offense, what happens when we do a qb sneak? Can we still call it the “John Navarre plow”?

What would Yzerman do?

by Huzilla on Sep 3, 2011 5:17 PM CDT reply actions  

I hope ND's defense makes the same assumption about our offense that

Jessie Palmer is right now, you think we’re showing any cards right now? Hahahahahaha

Enjoying

my Schlafly Pumpkin ale…thanks to the boys on the blog this past week for the recommendation.

by GoWings2008 on Sep 3, 2011 5:51 PM CDT reply actions  

I sure did!

Little bit of a headache at the end of the day…but that I think was a factor of no water in the system. Lots of beer.

Rumor is game is called.

Man, this is the worst blue-ball I’ve had since high school…

Enjoy the beatdown.

ND will probably do something and comeback. In the grand history of ND making bad judgement calls in regards to weather, some unlucky grad assistant will be hit by lightning.

Did ABC Screw Michigan?

Was the UM-WM game…official?

A story on ESPN’s own website suggests, it was not:

“Michigan and Western Michigan mutually agreed to end their game with 1:27 left in the third quarter. Michigan will win, 34-10.”

“A Notre Dame spokesman said teams must play three full quarters for the game to be official, according to the NCAA.”
(http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/6927371/lightning-forces-…)

Looks like ABC/ESPN/Disney media empire, was very determined to make sure that LSU-ORE game started on time.

ND and SOFLA are playing, at the moment.

NCAA Rules

Don’t trust your local “ND Official.” The actual rules from the NCAA Rules Book have 2 areas on the matter. There is nothing that states that 3 quarters need to have been played as seen in 3.3.3.c. The only exception would be overiding terminology unique to a particular conference. Since this game was not a conference matchup, it does not apply. Since ND is independent, this would never apply. Here’s the actual rules if you are interested:

Winning Team and Final Score
ARTICLE 3. a. The teams shall be awarded points for scoring according to rule and, unless the game is forfeited, the team having the larger score at the end of the game, including extra periods, shall be the winning team.
b. The game is ended and the score is final when the referee so declares.

Suspending the Game
ARTICLE 3.
a. The referee may suspend the game temporarily when conditions warrant such action.
b. When the game is stopped by actions of a person(s) not subject to the rules or for any other reasons not in the rules and cannot continue, the referee shall:
1. Suspend play and direct the players to their team areas.
2. Refer the problem to those responsible for the game’s management.
3. Resume the game when he determines conditions are satisfactory.
c. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b before the end of the fourth period and cannot be resumed, there are four possible options:
1. Resume the game at a later date;
2. Terminate the game with a determined final score;
3. Forfeit of the game;
or 4. Declare a no contest.
The option that takes effect shall be determined by conference policy if both institutions are members of the same conference. In non-conference competition, the directors of athletics at the participating institutions or their designees, in consultation with the coaches, must agree on one of the four options. This agreement will include the final score if the game is terminated (Rule 8-1-2).
d. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b after four periods of play and cannot be resumed, the game shall be ruled a tie. The final score shall be the score at the end of the last completed period. (Note: If a winner must be determined in a conference playoff game, conference policy shall determine when and where the game will be resumed.)
e. A suspended game, if resumed, will begin with the same time remaining and under the identical conditions of down, distance, field position and player eligibility.

Rule of thumb – Never believe a Notre Dame Official.
