Toledo 13, Michigan 10

<p>Like I said. 2-10.</p>

<p>wow 2nd down and 1 at like the 15 yard line and they fcked that up. just wow</p>

<p>Stunned, just stunned.</p>

<p>i had tears out of frustration/pure sadness. we are now the joke of the big 10 and i hate how many michigan state fans in my classes (high school obviously) will be so obnoxious about it asdfhsak.</p>

<p>I don't even know what to say. :(</p>

<p>I gotta give A2Wolves props. He picked 2-10 to be a contrarian, but its turning out to look exactly right...</p>

<p>Do you think fewer people will apply this year given the football team's struggles? I think that being a powerhouse would drive up the number of apps, while having a year like this would be negative publicity.</p>

<p>Hopefully - it'll help filter out the stupid people that pick a college based on its football program.</p>

<p>I have heard that a school being poor in athletics ( mainly football ) could switch a student to choose a school good in athletics as well as academics. Due to the college life experience/ school spirit.</p>

<p>sure, ivy league schools (maybe not stanford) are a great example of people not applying because they want a school good in academics and athletics.</p>

<p>Good call A2Wolves. Whether your intentions were pure or not is another matter altogether, but Michigan does indeed suck this year. I still think 2-10 is highly unlikely. But 8-4 or 7-5 is just as unlikely. 5-7 or 6-6 is far more likely. 4-8 is also very possible. Oh well, I guess we'll have to be patient and wait until 2010 or even 2011 for a good season.</p>

Depends on which offensive team shows up on game day...</p>

<p>Btw, how bad is Threet hurt?</p>

<p>Threet hurt his elbow but the injury's not serious according to RR</p>

<p>MSU and Northwestern now designated blackout games...that was pathetic. Luckily I had to leave at halftime to go home. I stopped at my place to pick up my clothes and backpack and was stunned to see the rest of my roommates already back from the game. I don't think a single person in my seating group made it past halftime (alcohol believed to be a factor.) They told me the score was 24-10 so I didn't bother putting on the radio on the way home. The one second I was flipping through the stations I heard "Sheridan intercepted" and just figured it was hopeless.</p>

<p>Bleh, I have a ticket to Penn State next weekend, kinda glad I won't be able to make it out there now. We lose by 30 points.</p>

<p>Yeah, the Penn State game could be brutal.</p>

<p>Wow, yeah, we are going to destroy you in Happy Valley this weekend. I was going to say this toledo game was an upset, but it's becoming quite the norm for Michigan to lose at home these days. I hope Joe Pa takes out 9 losses of anger and has clark put up 70 points on the wolverines.</p>

<p>Well, I know you have a low opinion of sportscasters and sportwriters, but the Big Ten Network announcers opined that the Toledo game was a bigger upset than App State. If I understood their justification, they said App State was an acknowledged powerhouse in their division....whereas Toledo has been struggling in the MAC. I don't know if I agree with them, because this year people knew Michigan had some vulnerabilities, whereas going into the App State game things were different. I know both losses stank, from a fan standpoint. LOL</p>

<p>JEC, didn't Michigan beat PSU 10 straight years? Either way, PSU should have a field day with Michigan. Not going to be perty!</p>

<p>Please stop talking about this....it's too painful.... death of Michigan football 08.</p>

<p>Sports are a HUGE part of the college experience and life after college. I'd say it's "stupid" if you don't pick a college that has competitive sports, because you're missing out on a lot.</p>
