Michigan Gameday Thread
Ohio St. Buckeyes at Michigan Wolverines, Nov 21, 2009 12:00 PM EST
Roses clenched proudly in their hands and teeth, the Ohio State Buckeyes tread into ever-dangerous territory today. This is Ann Arbor, Michigan, where past Buckeye teams have either solidified their greatness, or found themselves relegated to the middle of the historical road (or worse). It's simply never as easy as it seems. Today, they will take the field in new threads but will look to produce the same old results; a dominant defensive effort, an efficient offensive one, and a whole lot of sad Wolverines in the stands.
Leave your pre-game, mid-game, and post-game thoughts below.

The defense has not been bad.
We can hate all we want but Forcier has had a solid freshman season. I’m actually worried about him in his junior/senior year. he distributes the ball well and as long as he’s not scrambling in the pocket, he’s a heck of a qb.

197 rushing yards. damn.
the announcer made a good point about tressel’s playcalling. as in “keep going with the play until they can stop it”. it’s been working.

Ross Homan might be the most improved player on this defense.
Considering where he started. The Navy game was brutal.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
by Sam @ WWAHT on Nov 21, 2009 2:19 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
agreed.
Between Navy and the McKnight exploit in the USC game Homan was a lost cause to me. But these last 6 games he’s played some stellar ball.

Had a bad Navy game as well, and isn’t having a great game today, but he’s been far better than I thought he’d be.

I really don’t know how Michigan comes back. Their main talent city(detroit) is almost Dead. Michigan football suffers from a severe depeletion of in state talent and with the recent streak of bad seasons they are going to continue to struggle recruiting nationally. they could be Indiana in a heartbeat if they don’t turn it around at least a LITTLE next season. or even worse, Notre Dame.

Not intended to be heresy..
but I hope that RR stays at Michigan and his system starts to work in the next few years. It will force the Big Ten to adapt. The Big Ten needs to regain the respect it once had. Michigan has to be patient and willing to experiment with the change needed to bring themselves and the conference that respect they once had. We need a good Michigan team – empty victories aren’t as much fun to celebrate.
