[Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] wow I serioulsy was about to post the complete opposite thread so I'll just post it here instead of taking up board space. Well this weekend there has been a lot of blame going around about why the Bama game was such a mess. It's been pretty bad and I understand we don't like the results, but at some point we really need to take a step back and realize there was a lot of good in this game to. Obviously not as much on the field but it will help our players and coaches. Rarely do you get to see 50% of this years draft class on the other side of the ball. They were very good and sometimes you have to chalk it up to that. From examining the board for the last 36 hours I have comprised 5 of the biggest issues that we bloggers have been having and I'm going to try to debunk/bring attention to them. So lets get it started at 5. 5) Sparty this and sparty that... Well from a post a couple down from mine is a pretty good example. I understand many of you have to deal with the fan base on a daily basis but sometimes we really need to stop giving a crap about them. yes, they lost to Bama worse and yes they beat a ranked Boise team but we really don't need a whole section of the board that looks like RCMB. I would honestly prefer that all state stuff was combined into one week of hate and we could forget about them the other 51 weeks of the year (other then basketball of course) 4) "Refs were awful, no pentalty call on interception, CLIPSSS!!!!" I think since saturday night we have had 3 board topics on the exact issue or atleast 3 different conversations in comments about it. I'll be honest that I thought the refs missed a lot but those things are apart of the game. In a national poll on espn a few months ago, fans voted that Michigan gets the most calls while playing at home. Not sure I totally agree with that but I guess we have the feeling that a lot of other teams have when they play us in A2. Oh well, the refs didn't cause turn overs, poor tackling, or were the reason Bama dominated in the trenches. 3) " Why you no run Denard!" that topic was pretty crazy around these parts during the game and it seems like most of it has settled down. The biggest thing I took away from saturday is that Denard is never going to be Payton Manning.. I know shocker right?.. Borges knew what he was getting himself into. Bama was going to hit us square in the mouth and is going to be the best D we see all year. Injuries were happening all over the place and our offense is revolved around Denard still. If he would have got hurt badly then we would have been down to Bellomy and.. air. We didn't run the offense you will see when we get to B1G play. This year goal wasn't to beat Bama but to win the B1G and Denard running for 150 against Bama wouldn't have effected that at all. Now we just have to sit through a week of talk radio of Ohio and State fans saying "haha he sucks". Don't worry about it.. When he is actually fresh in the B1G this year, Michigan fans will be a lot happier. 2) Blake Countess.. Troy woolfolk.. STOP KILLING OUR DB'S BRADY!! Well we all know the biggest hit out of the game happened 24 hours after it was actually done with blake being ruled out for the year. That has sparked the "we have so many other guys that don't mean as much as blake that can be a gunner" conversation. I'm frankly pretty sad for this injury but thats apart of the game. You have the same odds of being hurt as a gunner as you do a CB. 3-7 extra snaps normally won't change anything but now our top returning corner has been hurt 2 years in a row on ST. Beamer ball is predicated on having the best 11 players out there. We took a year off from bad injuries last year and we got reminded this year that they still happen. Brady will have someone out there by B1G season who will be able handle themselves. CHILL. This my favorite: 1) It's all Dave Brandons fault! This is where I just say SHUT UP! Back in 2010, We had really high hopes for 2012 and that was when RR guys were going to be "flying high". Dave Brandon (yes it was Dave not Bill) wanted to get the national exposure that the team and fan base wanted. We all know what happen in 2010. Then Hoke came in and won 11 games with smoke and mirrors. (trust me we beat teams that we really weren't better then last year) OK smoke and mirrors is a little harsh.. Better coaching and some good bounces. The whole summer everyone was so hyped for this game. I could link you to the 5000 posts about it but honestly this post is to long to begin with. Earlier this week, Brandon makes a statement about wanting more high profile games and everyone was like... yay!! these are awesome! Then Saturday happened. Now the blame game is on Dave Brandon. He took a chance and I fully respect that. I know this blog is sponsered by "get off my lawn" inc. and everyone hates new non-traditional things but the whole athletic department is moving in the right direction. I get everyone around here hates the jerseys lately but for some reason the 16-18 year old kids love them (I have no clue why) and it helps recruiting these kids. This game was not Brandons fault. As an AD he did his job but we just didn't have the horses to run with Bama. http://mgoblog.com/content/michigan-alabama-dallas-2012 http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/brandon-aggressively-seeking-big-games-futur... I know this was kind of a long rant but as a fan base we need to chill. We still have a good team and there is a long season ahead. Lets look forward to Air Force and hope that there is marked improvements in all areas. It was the first game and mistakes happen. Usually they happen against Western and you wouldn't notice. Everything will be ok and I still have really high hopes for this team. Go blue! [Title]
