Last big win....I might say PSU last year...no shame in losing to Texas with the clock expiring in 05, one of the best games I've ever seen. Any UM fan would say OSU in 03, probably Florida in 03...but then yes the Orange Bowl in with Brady was the last big game.

My point was that the excuses get old especially in the face of that kind of beating. Michigan should be set for a fine 2007. No Troy Smith should really help. |

Just felt like someone that actually does pull for the team should speak up.

![]() Lloyd Carr will have to resign in order for Michigan to have a good 2007 season. Sorry that's just the way it is.

Which brings us back to one REALLY bad quarter of football that wins the game for USC. Playing bad football to a 3-3 tie at halftime is not getting routed by any stretch of the imagination. If USC was the wonderteam that everyone paints them as now, they would have blown the game open in the first half. Which brings us right back to one REALLY bad quarter of football. |

![]() sc adjustments at halftime were excellent! sc dominated the whole second half. they exposed the poor tackling and weak over all play in the michigan secondary. same thing osu exposed weeks earlier . sc didn't have to run the ball any.

As someone who watches a lot of college football, is not a fan of either team, had no money bet on the game, my opinion was that USC was a better team, more athletic, faster, and as physical as Michigan. I also think Carrol made the better adjustments and it did seem like a usc crowd but I think that if they played this game 100 times USC wins at least 75. One thing that made Michigan seem beter than they really were this year was turnover ratio. Coming into the game they had only committed 10 turnovers all year while getting 25 takeaways. Turnovers are usually more luck than skill. Meaning if you drop a football on the ground in the middle of the field 10 times in theory each team would get the ball 5 times. Not making turnovers is a sign of a good team but Michigans #'s were unreal. Everyone forgets that Michigan was really close to losing to Ball State. Real close. and Ball State is awful. Ucla or Oregon State would be 25pt favs over BS. |

With that said, if you were to ask me the only college football team I am really a "fan" of, it would be the Portland State Vikings. I hate Michigan. I'm not from here, have no loyalty to it, no state pride, no nothing. It's just a stop on the journey back to Portland. So while it may appear that I am an overly zealous Ann Arbor inhabitant that attends UM, I neither attend the college nor really consider myself a real "fan" of the team. Especially not to the point where I would be willing to go down in flames with them no matter what just because they're UM. It’s impossible for my eyes to be “maized over.” Quote:

But like you said, they were “really close to losing”. Yes, Michigan almost lost to a bad football team. They didn't USC did. Twice. Last edited by brianwspencer : 01-05-2007 at 05:41 PM. |

I wasn't around during his time so I can't say I'm a fan of his per se. I've only been a Vikings fan since 2003 when I started going to school there, so he's about the only thing I know about them from before that time! Quote:

Surviving Ball State may be worse than losing close games to bowl teams. Surviving Illinois is not something to be proud of. We can compare schedules all we want but the truth is that USC finished with 2 losses and Michigan finished with 2 losses but USC BEAT Michigan pretty soundly and that is what counts. |
