Q: If Big John Henry Daly was not injured Iowa would not have been able to stop the clock? - By Cincywolve September 27, 2026 at 09:50:28 AM
- What was his injury? Is he expected back soon?* - By Prominence14 September 27, 2026 at 10:03:15 AM
- Correct, if JHD wasn’t injured the game was over. By rule in CFB you need at least 3 seconds to stop the clock with a spike. Brown attempted to spike. Game would have been over. * - By WestSideBlue September 27, 2026 at 10:01:24 AM
  - Wow, I didn’t know that 3 second rule deal* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 10:38:57 AM
    - Kind of evolved from that time when Jeff Smoker spiked a ball without a second elapsing.* - By hurryup September 27, 2026 at 10:51:28 AM
      - I figured it was a spartan bob rule* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 10:59:12 AM
      - Re: Kind of evolved from that time when Jeff Smoker spiked a ball without a second elapsing. Gives officials time to see what actually happened.* - By hurryup September 27, 2026 at 10:52:13 AM
  - they were going to fake spike it, they knew the rule, the injury gave them a free to, which sucked, but the game wasn't over otherwise* - By Daytripper September 27, 2026 at 10:04:05 AM
    - So certain.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 10:12:57 AM
      - it's lost in the malaise but did he not fake spike it? i'm just going off what wsb reported, but lewis now has me thinking yea, they did plan on faking it - By Daytripper September 27, 2026 at 10:16:50 AM
    - They actually did take the snap and spike it. They weren’t going to fake snap. The qb clearly didn’t know the rule. Ferentz said in his press conference that the JHD injury is what allowed them to get a play off. - By WestSideBlue September 27, 2026 at 10:08:37 AM
      - huh, well if he said i stand corrected. makes it even worse imo, beat by a guy that didn't know the rules, great* - By Daytripper September 27, 2026 at 10:10:35 AM
        
        You aren't wrong. He literally fake spiked it after the whistle blew.* - By LewisBullox September 27, 2026 at 10:13:49 AM
        
        Yep, you’re right. I just rewatched and the ball never left his hand. Ferentz did say in his press conference though that it was the injury that let them get the play off - By WestSideBlue September 27, 2026 at 10:23:37 AM
Ren Fair. Time to drown my football sorrows in beer and a turkey leg and maybe some comely wenches - By Damaniac September 27, 2026 at 09:38:42 AM
- Good weather today. Rheigest Chain Mail on tap**** - By Cincywolve September 27, 2026 at 09:51:36 AM
- When you say comely wenches you mean fat chicks in onion, right?* - By tem September 27, 2026 at 09:46:29 AM
Davis Warren threw for 396 and 4tds last night. We have been coached by absolute bums for 30 years outside of Jim and it's maddening* - By hambone September 27, 2026 at 09:38:11 AM
- LC wasn't a bum. He consistently failed to maximize use of offensive talent but that's strike 1-2, not strike 3.* - By ftb September 27, 2026 at 09:42:07 AM
  - I just threw 30 years out there but this wasn't really meant for Lloyd. Although he underachieved often, but yes not a bum like RR, Hoke, Moore, Whitt* - By hambone September 27, 2026 at 09:54:04 AM
  - Re: LC wasn't a bum. He consistently failed to maximize use of offensive talent but that's strike 1-2, not strike 3.* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 09:52:13 AM
    - Yeah, he had some terrible games mixed with the highs. RR, Hoke, and Sherrone had no such highs. Whitt not yet (here).* - By ftb September 27, 2026 at 10:39:40 AM
  - Agreed. He could coach. * - By Spirit September 27, 2026 at 09:51:43 AM
- It's stuff like that that makes the "better things aren't possible/what more could the coaches do" defenses sillier and sillier - By Damaniac September 27, 2026 at 09:41:52 AM
- You must be getting kind of excited, right? The prospect of a possible coach firing has emerged. Christmas in September.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 09:40:19 AM
  - Sounds like you are all in still on program direction * - By BBA September 27, 2026 at 09:46:45 AM
    - We're 4 games into a new coaching regime with a completely new offensive system and the youngest roster in the conference. I think calling for firings at this point it stupid, yes. I am not certain that it will work out. That would also be stupid.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 10:14:27 AM
      - Any coach that calls that 3rd and 5 run puts the team at such a disadvantage that only a massive talent gap could overcome in long run * - By BBA September 27, 2026 at 10:49:30 AM
      - Young roster for sure on offense. But the players making the idiotic penalties are 4th year guys. The WR duo is the most talented in many years. And this staff wants to run rhino 60% of the time when it's clearly a lost cause. * - By BMH75 September 27, 2026 at 10:32:22 AM
    - Bob Chesney pushing Whitt’s shit in at the Big House in late November in front of 58,000 people will be bleak. - By LS&Play September 27, 2026 at 09:53:04 AM
      - Semaj will have two wonderful punt returns * - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 09:55:54 AM
  - No it's maddening that he was even hired. But somehow the narrative was "we needed an adult after Jim and Moore" because Warde Manuel is incompetent. We needed an elite hire after Sherrone because he sucked and should have never even been considered. I get ppl like you were happy about Sherrone (m) - By hambone September 27, 2026 at 09:46:28 AM
    - Warde is awful but Jim should have set us up with a better successor than Sherrone. Especially given how many gold assistants he had over the years.* - By Eric September 27, 2026 at 09:49:04 AM
      - Jim owed us NOTHING. We cut his pay and he went 15-0. We didn't defend him to the NCAA nor the B10. * - By Spirit September 27, 2026 at 09:53:45 AM
        
        Michigan must be the only program that purposefully runs the best coach ever out of town. And then hires a lame assistant coach with no experience. And then hires a coach who should he retired and was pushed out at his previous job. * - By BMH75 September 27, 2026 at 10:01:02 AM
        
        The timing of the Sherrone implosion limited our options. Whitt was about as good as we could do then. My point in dropping the magic goggles is that he isn't going to be elite (m) - By Spirit September 27, 2026 at 10:08:08 AM
        
        This is correct. Whitt was the best choice given very limited options. The hope was (still is) that Whitt could provide some stability, be a bridge to the next coach, keep the Michigan ethos (dominant OL/DL and run game) intact. At least that is (was?) my hope.* - By Ev September 27, 2026 at 10:29:09 AM
        
        “We?” So because of a couple of shitty administrators, Jim owed the program, his program, players/alums, his alma mater as a whole, nothing? Don’t agree at all. If he wasn’t going to try and groom a successor he should have sounded the alarm bells on Sherrone. (m) - By Eric September 27, 2026 at 10:00:54 AM
        
        He did groom a successor. Turned out that aside from being a phenomenal OL coach, Moore was also an instagram junkie/compulsive masturbator. Jim is football smart, not people smart. He wasn’t trying to fuck us over with Moore, he’s just an awful judge of character. See Weiss, Schemy, Biff, et al.* - By Ev September 27, 2026 at 10:17:51 AM
        
        I don’t think Jim was trying to screw us. And I agree, he was an awful judge of character. (m) - By Eric September 27, 2026 at 10:24:16 AM
        
        At least as OL coach, I thought he was damn impressive. He was in over his head as HC, but those offensive lines in ‘21 and ‘22 in particular were a sight to behold. Pretty good in ‘23 too, and in his two years as head coach.* - By Ev September 27, 2026 at 10:42:58 AM
        
        Yep, which is why you needed a strong AD to protect him from himself. Jim is a football savant, but lacking in many other skills. * - By Spirit September 27, 2026 at 10:21:47 AM
        
        Totally agree.* - By Ev September 27, 2026 at 10:32:46 AM
        
        Correct* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 09:58:04 AM
      - Did Warde's process even consider an interview with Minter or MacDonald? or was it a choice between Moore and a "Michigan Man" like Mike Hart? Because I would have chosen Moore over Hart also...* - By jim4blue September 27, 2026 at 09:53:11 AM
      - Jim's job wasn't hiring his replacement. That is on Warde. Plus all of Jim's quality hires went to the NFL with him or someone else. (m) - By hambone September 27, 2026 at 09:51:20 AM
        
        Of course it ultimately falls on Warde, but Jim advocated for Sherrone.* - By Eric September 27, 2026 at 09:52:53 AM
        
        Actions speak louder than words. If Jim thought anything of Sherrone he would have been a charger* - By hambone September 27, 2026 at 09:56:02 AM
        
        I don’t think this is accurate. Harbaugh viewed/endorsed Moore as his successor. Moore’s work as OL coach and OC was instrumental in the 40-3 run. Moore was obviously the wrong choice in hindsight, but the idea that Jim stuck us with some bum he didn’t want strikes me as complete bullshit.* - By Ev September 27, 2026 at 10:05:35 AM
        
        Moore was a co-OC/OL for most/all of that run. He wasn't some OC guru* - By hambone September 27, 2026 at 10:21:26 AM
        
        I mean really, if Jim thought Moore was a horseshit coach, why the hell was he the one coaching the god damn team when Jim was suspended? Doesn’t make any sense.* - By Ev September 27, 2026 at 10:10:48 AM

- college football performance is like the nfl now…it’s week to week and there are no juggernauts(m - By chief September 27, 2026 at 09:41:43 AM
  - Mostly agree although OSU and Georgia (and maybe Miami and Texas) might be juggernauts..... - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:49:57 AM
    - osu and Georgia don’t count because they have had stability….miami was a cluster fuck early in Mario’s tenure.* - By chief September 27, 2026 at 10:14:01 AM
- well stated* - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:38:44 AM
So the optimists on the board who think yesterday was fluky and encouraging, you'd have to believe we have a great shot to win the next 5, right? - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:35:21 AM
- I wouldn't call PSU bad and I wouldn't call IU "beatable" - By DoctorD September 27, 2026 at 10:01:16 AM
- I think so* - By JohnnyBGood September 27, 2026 at 09:56:50 AM
- You can’t lose at Minnesota, that’s an absurdity… - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 09:47:13 AM
- 40% chance we lose next week, 4-4 rest of the way. Bryce had 3 good quarters - yes. And we still can't run and the defense fell apart and ST are a problem.* - By ftb September 27, 2026 at 09:45:37 AM
  - You left out penalties and turnovers * - By tem September 27, 2026 at 09:48:12 AM
    - I've been badly coached.* - By ftb September 27, 2026 at 09:50:12 AM
      - LOL, the Michigan Difference.* - By jim4blue September 27, 2026 at 10:18:17 AM
      - This is Michigan* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 10:06:30 AM
- I think 4-1 is most likely, followed by 5-0 and then 3-2 - By WestSideBlue September 27, 2026 at 09:41:24 AM
- We can win the next five. But not if the coaches turn another 31-34 point performance into a 17-21 point performance. - By Eric September 27, 2026 at 09:40:16 AM
- Way more likely 0-3 the next three than 3-0. - By LS&Play September 27, 2026 at 09:38:11 AM
- I’d take 4-1. I don’t want to squelch optimism, because that’s no fun. I also don’t want to give the coaches a pass for yesterday, because they sucked. * - By plug September 27, 2026 at 09:37:40 AM
One coaching point that drove me crazy yesterday - By y2wolv September 27, 2026 at 09:21:44 AM
- Sure, but the bad spot was a really big play! - By jon September 27, 2026 at 09:34:30 AM
  - Then the coaches compound it with the playcall the next play: - By jon September 27, 2026 at 09:39:27 AM
  - They spotted us the ball a yard short at least a half dozen times yesterday… - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 09:37:29 AM
Ppl are picking on Berry, but Snowden got beat by a slow white WR who had 6 catches before yesterday* - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:01:12 AM
- Was absurd to have him playing press man there.* - By mattb September 27, 2026 at 09:52:30 AM
- Was it a back shoulder throw versus man coverage? Those are nearly impossible to defend. * - By plug September 27, 2026 at 09:35:24 AM
- The last drive sucked but to me the special teams deserves most blame by far - By y2wolv September 27, 2026 at 09:13:17 AM
  - That return contained one, and possibly two, uncalled blocks in the back. Borderline too far away from the play, but still...* - By jim4blue September 27, 2026 at 09:27:12 AM
    - I got a kick out of Coombs doing it again on the very next kickoff. “HEY LOOK AT ME!! IM STUPID!!!”* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 09:30:47 AM
  - That was one play. The fourth quarter had a dozen.* - By ftb September 27, 2026 at 09:17:58 AM
    - The fourth quarter is garbage time without that play* - By y2wolv September 27, 2026 at 09:31:46 AM
      - You're talking about winning, I'm talking about the quality of the team.* - By ftb September 27, 2026 at 09:40:15 AM

    - Lane integrity was not great. *** - By Cincywolve September 27, 2026 at 09:32:02 AM
    - Coombs is stunningly bad. No upgrade from JB Brown.* - By LS&Play September 27, 2026 at 09:22:45 AM
    - He was retained b/c he was an OSU buddy of Urban's* - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:18:17 AM
- That kid is pretty good actually. Big target and sure hands. Why the fuck they were playing press man with a QB spy is the real problem. * - By BMH75 September 27, 2026 at 09:03:57 AM
  - Yea. And bc there was no pressure, it was a perfect ball. I don’t think he locates the ball. He was right there, if he locates the ball or just reacts the wrs eyes, he can probably react in time to deflect it. But, they made a great play. It happens… - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 09:06:40 AM
Perusing Utah message boards after yesterday’s loss, a couple of my favorites. - By dugfresh September 27, 2026 at 08:59:50 AM
- There is pity and empathy in these comments. They aren’t from a scorned lover, they’re from people who have seen this shit for 20 years* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 09:18:07 AM
- As expected, this is who he is and how his teams play. He's Kyle Ferentz without disciplined play * - By BMH75 September 27, 2026 at 09:02:18 AM
Because I'm a masochist, I rewatched the 4th quarter. I advise against it.* - By ftb September 27, 2026 at 08:59:20 AM
- For some real fun, watch it again a count how many yards we lost due to poor ball placement by the refs. * - By Mark II September 27, 2026 at 09:33:12 AM
- I didn’t see a single play of the game. Will probably delete it from my dvr.* - By crumbs September 27, 2026 at 09:27:20 AM
- Do you also like slamming a car door on your fingers? * - By BMH75 September 27, 2026 at 09:01:09 AM
  - I did it for the math. First 3 quarters 9-3 team, fourth quarter 4-8 team. So 7-5 team.* - By ftb September 27, 2026 at 09:10:28 AM
Shit ending aside, it was a beautiful day inside the stadium. Perfect weather, good crowd atmosphere. Was one of those days that you enjoyed being in the stadium for 4 hours.* - By Eric September 27, 2026 at 08:51:37 AM
Still scratching my head on the out of bounds play. The dude was lost because he was not near the field of play* - By Cincywolve September 27, 2026 at 08:43:19 AM
- The part I disagree with is the conclusion that he re-established himself back into play - By WestSideBlue September 27, 2026 at 09:17:10 AM
  - I genuinely don’t know the rule well enough. Two questions - By plug September 27, 2026 at 09:43:50 AM
- What do you mean he was ridden out and got back in to make catch* - By harbaughdyssey September 27, 2026 at 09:05:24 AM
- Was the tip the reason it wasn't a penalty? Spectacularly fluky.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 08:47:53 AM
  - No, that turned out to be irrelevant. * - By Mark II September 27, 2026 at 09:30:23 AM
UT fans showed a lot of LOVE for Trump. Gross* - By Cincywolve September 27, 2026 at 08:42:01 AM

Glass half full: Bryce played a great game, the D was great for 3.5 quarters, and it took a combination of several very unlikely outcomes… - By Craig September 27, 2026 at 08:26:50 AM

  - ND 1990 was a much better team than Iowa, it was on the road and ND was in a better position on that winning drive - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 08:55:28 AM
- Morning after, it's what it is. - By el fuego September 27, 2026 at 08:39:51 AM
  - On your 2nd paragraph - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 08:45:19 AM
    - I was talking about Whittingham but had to correct my initial sentence. I have no clue if Whittingham fires Beck. - By el fuego September 27, 2026 at 08:52:20 AM
      - Bryce having 3 OCs in 3 years would be pretty bonkers. I know Rich has a throbbing hate boner for the Beck system, but they were moving the ball at will against an Iowa defense. Gotta get reps and clean up the mistakes. They looks miles better than weeks 1-2.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 08:59:30 AM
        
        agree. it will be a top 20 offense by the end of the year, trending upwards. - By DetUMICH September 27, 2026 at 09:04:59 AM
        
        The rhino package is stupid. It's ugly football and IMO we would run the ball better without it. You are replacing a talented WR or TE with shit OLs. Dumb - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:03:33 AM
        
        It wasn't working with Beigel. Then they had Gach and he can't even get lined up correctly. How many signs does Beck need before he realizes it's not working? * - By BMH75 September 27, 2026 at 09:05:45 AM
        
        His quote this past week was 'this is what we have always run'. Very RR like. He is not changing. More rhino!!! * - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:07:09 AM
      - Teams change OCs all the time. Keeping a failed one would be worse* - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 08:56:16 AM
        
        If this was his first year and he never showed any promise, sure. I just don't think he's a dud because of the results so far. - By el fuego September 27, 2026 at 09:03:39 AM
        
        Most of that yardage was pure Bryce talent, not a great system* - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:06:10 AM
        
        you can hate on the O results and style but please for the love of god don’t pivot to “it was all the sherrone moore talent” if they improve.* - By DetUMICH September 27, 2026 at 09:13:34 AM
        
        Depends on the improvement. Certainly part of it is Sherrone providing Underwood, Marshall, Marsh, Hiter, Hansen and some good OLs. Whit deserves credit for adding Buchanan. The job of the OC is to maximize that. We should have scored 30-40 yesterday. We should have done the same vs Western. - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:21:04 AM
  - Whitt’s ceiling IMO is Harbaugh pre-2020. If he stays 3-4 years maybe he sneaks in the playoffs one year, but we’ll never be a legit contender.* - By Eric September 27, 2026 at 08:44:15 AM
    - $40mm roster. $12mm QB. I would hope a playoff berth would be expected every year. * - By BMH75 September 27, 2026 at 09:50:21 AM
      - Not with a 10 cent staff* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 10:08:42 AM
    - I would take that. I hope he can get there. One thing JH did is beat teams he should beat esp at home. Yesterday would have been 31-0* - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 08:47:09 AM
      - Why would you take that? This is why OSU owns us* - By hambone September 27, 2026 at 09:43:37 AM
        
        Agree.* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 10:51:20 AM
      - I wouldn’t. We should be able to do better than that. Don’t think KW can though.* - By Eric September 27, 2026 at 09:13:09 AM
        
        You have a point with 3 4 team playoffs in our recent past. However early Harbaugh would still have made 2 12-team playoffs in 5 years. Michigan s/b in a 12 team playoff at least half the time. This year will likely make us 0 for 3 after going 5 for 8. Next year would be a must* - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 09:23:30 AM

        Iowa hosts OSU next week. We will see how good they are. I actually think this Iowa team defense is not as good as they usually are - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 08:52:10 AM
        
        Agree. They are a good defense, but not championship worthy. They received an incredible amount of help from the officials, and to be fair, some boneheaded penalties we actually committed, and of course a cowardly OC when it mattered… - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 09:34:02 AM
        
        OSU will win like 34-6. Like you said it’s not even a good Iowa defense. We had no issues moving the ball.* - By LS&Play September 27, 2026 at 08:54:26 AM

  - They needed help to do it and they got with the Berry penalty and the tipped pass - By y2wolv September 27, 2026 at 08:50:41 AM
- I think both can be true. This team can obviously do some really nice things on both sides of the ball and still lose games. Constantly “tripping on our dicks” and a shackled offense (which appear to be staples) make our margin for error very small and mean we’ll be in a lot of close games.* - By Eric September 27, 2026 at 08:31:51 AM

With a timeout in our back pocket, our defense was playing press man on the last play with a LB spying the Iowa QB. Would love for the sunshine crew to defend that* - By BBA September 27, 2026 at 08:23:00 AM
- Not going to defend it. Bad call on an otherwise solid day from the defense. Are we mad about Jay Hill now?* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 08:32:55 AM
  - Hill is good but that was a Jim Herrmann style coaching job on the last drive. Very passive* - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 08:37:50 AM
    - I hated the last drive from Hill. He should have never been in that position, but it also would have worked out for us without the crippling combo of a dumb penalty from. RS senior and the top bullshit.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 08:42:18 AM

On the failed attempt on 4th and 1 where Bryce tried to pick it up by extending over the pile, I wonder if that was called or that was his own decision on how to run the sneak - By WestSideBlue September 27, 2026 at 08:09:51 AM
- That’s a goal line play, can’t do it in the field. Someone can knock the ball loose and it’s a fumble, which is why he tucked it in so quickly and wasn’t able to reach far enough. But no coaches told him that and they all thought it was a wonderful plan. Instead of a regular sneak w a giant qb.. - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 08:44:15 AM

  - Agree. The bigger issue was that the WR was out of bounds and came back in to make the catch. The Michigan defender saw him go OOB and stopped defending him. Not sure he reestablished... - By Rich September 27, 2026 at 08:33:22 AM
    - Someone said the ball was tipped so out of bounds guy was now eligible. No clue if that’s true or not. - By Lodz September 27, 2026 at 08:58:21 AM

- QB was ahead of the LOS on that play when he released the ball. PI in the end zone on the Marsh drop. A few missed holding calls on Iowa that were called on M. Refs sucked. Game was still winnable.* - By Lodz September 27, 2026 at 07:53:32 AM
- I’ve legit never seen that call in 40 years. - By y2wolv September 27, 2026 at 07:30:40 AM

        Yes, 100%. But what exactly were we/ are we supposed to do about that? We're stuck in the thick of this and 3-1. We have an AD on the way out (thank goodness), a new president incoming (who knows what she thinks about athletics) (m) - By wolvalum September 27, 2026 at 12:05:06 AM
- Yes, all true. And yet I remember that day in December when the Sherrone saga was melting down. We should be better than this, but we were in a really bad spot then. I dunno, man, hard to envision any scenario where this season wasn't a struggle with that context* - By wolvalum September 26, 2026 at 11:42:28 PM
- i just think that people thinking basically any coach was going to make 2026 michigan a contender are the ones on hopium. - By DetUMICH September 26, 2026 at 11:39:20 PM
  - Like I said, we'll win some games. Whitt isn't an idiot, but he ain't taking us to the Playoffs * - By Spirit September 26, 2026 at 11:43:25 PM
    - i bet that whitt will get us to the playoffs.* - By DetUMICH September 26, 2026 at 11:50:40 PM
  - It’s not a great start. We needed a miracle to beat a shit MAC team! A Stone Age offense and completely undisciplined players. This isn’t about being a contender, it’s all how about HOW we’ve looked and we do not look well-coached.* - By Eric September 26, 2026 at 11:42:14 PM

Poster P may not have been totally off about the Iowa fans. I've had positive experiences in the past, but there were some pretty obnoxious douches at the tailgates and in the stadium today* - By wolvalum September 26, 2026 at 11:29:07 PM

Everyone I’ve talked to absolutely despises Whitt. Trump-level approval. Universally despised* - By LS&Play September 26, 2026 at 11:13:31 PM

  - The steady, even-keeled, lack of emotion is awesome when the team is playing well. When they're not, and undisciplined with penalties and tackling, it looks like a lack of passion, intensity, and leadership permeating through the team* - By wolvalum September 26, 2026 at 11:34:21 PM
  - it is because our fanbase is a bunch of entitled babies. every time we have success we think it is a given. no matter how hard it was to achieve it. - By DetUMICH September 26, 2026 at 11:28:56 PM

Hours after, I am actually encouraged about this team going forward (m) - By Kashama September 26, 2026 at 11:03:38 PM
- If the team can dominate the game and lose, these coaches can give away any game. They gave this one away, 100% on coaching since they had the superior team. And threw it away with cowardice and stupidity. * - By plug September 27, 2026 at 12:43:20 AM
- We moved the ball against a real defense better than any Michigan team since Harbaugh left. This is very different from where we were a few weeks ago when we were straight up outplayed by a MAC team. - By Bluebuck September 26, 2026 at 11:11:28 PM
  - this may be the best regular season offensive performance by M against Iowa under Ferentz. obviously we still botched it but i’m going to look at the forest not the trees.* - By DetUMICH September 26, 2026 at 11:18:11 PM
- What game isn't losable? We've had 4 straight at home and looked like crap, IMO. Will we play smarter on the road? Maybe.* - By ftb September 26, 2026 at 11:06:33 PM

Feels like the glow of the 2023 national championship has been extinguished. I wondered how long we’d be able to be content with it. Today was the answer* - By wolvalum September 26, 2026 at 11:01:43 PM
- I’m still pretty darn excited about the 2023 national championship.* - By Ev September 26, 2026 at 11:04:06 PM
I feel deep despair, this isn't a look at me post. This is just realizing the slow burn that will be the Whitt "era". I'd imagine 3/4 the posters here are not optimistic. Our previous opponents have trended towards dogshit. Our own performance indicates intractable problems regardless - By Daytripper September 26, 2026 at 10:55:09 PM

Has it been discussed yet that Snowden was playing press man instead of standing on the goaline? The defensive call was nuts on the last play.* - By mattb September 26, 2026 at 10:40:45 PM
- I was at the game and am tired now, but said to the guys around me that they were playing way too tight dbs around the 50 on that drive. No man D, just play the dbs back to the 20, rush 4. There’s NNNNOOOO way they could score a td with 19 seconds left. DF staff. * - By BigLake September 26, 2026 at 10:44:52 PM

Coaching loss. Normally Iowa drags you into the mud and beats you with experience. Our coaches went there willingly. Whittingham is just old annd conservative enough to lose to Ferentz. On an optimistic note - it’s going to be hard to keep Bryce down** - By xcheck September 26, 2026 at 10:24:19 PM
