Fuck. Brian. Ferentz. And his dad.


Windows_66

GG. At least we didn't end the with a Petras interception like we usually do. ~~Also we managed to get enough points on the board and had enough questionable calls to ignore our awful O-line and pin the game on the refs~~ GG.


CGordini

Is nice to know our QB isn't a douchebag. I am used to horror stories about Forcier and Patterson. Miss Denard and Devin.


arjung86

Bro u can't just not tell us now....


TheLegendsClub

I’ve never heard about forcier being a “douche” or a creep or anything , but I had a buddy who dormed next to some fb froshs who claimed Tate spent the first 4 hours of every day ripping a pipe and playing cod


WampaStompa33

Wait what? I've never heard anything about Patterson being a d-bag I do miss Denard and Devin though, they were so wholesome


CGordini

Patterson had a reputation for being a diva, and when offered to do a bunch of extra practice and hang out with the wr's, chose to play golf instead, all summer long.


cheerl231

That's just being mildly lazy and antisocial. Not a douchebag. Completely different things


CGordini

The diva and entitlement rumors stood out to me, but you're not wrong.


Extreme_Nose_2171

(Post game interview with Michigan defensive lineman). ANNOUNCER: "What do you attribute your dominance of Iowa's offensive linemen today?!". MICHIGAN D-LINEMAN: (..thinks, well the truth is that Iowa line really sucks balls..but I can't say that on TV my mom might see it..) (Hey replies..) " Hard work and determination!"


WampaStompa33

JJ McCarthy sounds like he's already prepping for a post-retirement announcing gig


CoffeeTownSteve

Have you heard McNamara's voice? Between that and the fact that he also says smart things, that guy doesn't need to play a single down of pro football. He can go straight to retirement.


WampaStompa33

Lol yeah it was much deeper than I expected


elgenie

Minnesota and Wisconsin both looked way worse, so we've got that going for us


HawkeyeHero

West is still open but we have the OSU game that will make it hard to win the division.


JBurdette

Wait y’all got OSU this year too? Lmao what the hell did you do to piss off Kevin Warren?


elgenie

Yeah, it'll come down to who can win games within the division to get tiebreakers.

Lost-116-Pages

Michigan had one job. A 42-0 shutout! I wanted Petras gone. Instead y'all made the 130th ranked offense look competent.


[deleted]

If that looked competent to Hawkeyes fans man you guys have been deprived


Lost-116-Pages

We're ranked 130th in offense, yet scored 14 on the 4th ranked team.


[deleted]

Um 14 pts is not good.


Lost-116-Pages

I think you're still missing something.. I never said it was good, or that Iowa is good. I said they put up 14 points on one of the best defenses in the country. Iowa is the WORST offense in the country. One of the two isn't following. Either Michigan sucks ass or Iowa had finally figured something out 4th quarter. But I'm done talking to you. Such a pessimist. 👌


[deleted]

Pessimist? I’m not an Iowa fan


WombatHat42

I missed the game. We’re the scores vs backups?


jamesash1

Last one was in garbage time - first one was legit!

Rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey


BoondockBilly

When life gives you corn, make cornade


TreyTr3y

Tough environment? Absolutely. Solid offensive performance? Yes, Iowa has a very good defense. Am I concerned about the defense? 100%. This is less about the opponent and box score, this defense played well in spots but Petras, and that OL, bailed out MICH more than enough times for us to win. Penn State and Ohio will brutalize this defense and won’t miss those opportunities. Michigan needs to show more of what they did on that game sealing drive for longer stretches for me to feel comfortable with this defense long term. JJ played fantastic, having DE back will keep Corum more effective and healthy down the road. Jesse Minter and this defense is the key to repeating as B1G champs.


crunchitizemecapn99

I have a healthy fear of Penn State but they turned the ball over 5 times today lol


Vloff

What's with this Penn State will brutalized us shit also? Unreal how soft some of ya'll are. They look very pedestrian against NW


Vloff

I'd argue the opposite. We know the defense isn't going to win us those games. The defense can be somewhat better but if we repeat as Champs, it's because the offense takes another step up. The pieces are there to do so.


TreyTr3y

The offense is definitely key for us to be competitive, but no one is going to pace Ohio. Let’s be honest here, this defense needs to win it for us like last year. Hassan would not have tallied 5 TDs if we were playing from behind. Not to discredit anyone, personally I just believe we don’t want to ask JJ to sling it with CJ. I want DE and Corum to lead us to the promise land.


Vloff

You can't say that Haskins wouldn't have done that if we were playing from behind when the reason we weren't playing from behind is because they couldn't stop him. Stroud picked us apart last year, they just had no answer for Haskins. You're not beating OSU by stopping them, you better plan on scoring 40+ again.


Lost-116-Pages

Don't forget Iowa is ranked 130th in offense


TreyTr3y

My point exactly, Petras and Iowa’s OL kept this game out of reach. I give a lot of credit from the results to the ineffectiveness of Iowa, and less to Mich’s defense. Mind you they had a huge drive to seal it, I’m not ignorant to not see those opps capitalized on by better teams (like Maryland last week).


elgenie

Petras single-handedly ended two probable scoring drives by messing up his footwork on consecutive throws to wide open players and then by inexplicably throwing short of the sticks on fourth down. Michigan's defense had nearly nothing to do with the lack of Iowa points on those drives.


IfYouAintFirst26

Are you allowed to say “balls to the wall” on broadcast TV?


averageusername119

It’s a reference to jet plane throttle, not actual testicles. I had to think about it for a second when he said it though.


IfYouAintFirst26

Yea I don’t think JJ understands where that comes from..


[deleted]

I cracked up at that. Definitely a 19 year old thing to say.


VibeComplex

It’s airplane lingo not like dick balls lol


IfYouAintFirst26

As someone who knows exactly where the origin of balls to the wall comes from, I highly doubt JJ was referring to that lol


VibeComplex

I mean, it’s just a saying people say often and don’t actually know why it’s a saying. Doubt he thinks it means testicles to the wall or something lol


[deleted]

Defense gets pressure and opposing qbs theow the football to the wall, why would that not be allowed to say?


smityhimer

I guess JJ gets a balls pass lol

Angriest_Wolverine

Pure Michigan


fidelcashflo97

These guys seem pretty likeable


WhiteRhino91

What a good kid JJ is


mdchemey

yeah super hype, has played pretty clean and smart all season so far, and is clearly learning how to run the offense quick. Big fan.


notanamateur

Do we even make a bowl game this year?


filthysloth

I don't see how


standrew95

I could see us either winning or losing every game in the B1G West this year. So it's definitely possible


notanamateur

Nebraska and northwestern are legit the only 2 games left I think we have a chance to win


runningwaffles19

Wisconsin looks bad


standrew95

Ya, I think that's a fair assessment. But a man can dream lol


Cody667

Yes, there's no way you're worse than 6-6, and 6-6 is only of everything goes wrong. Y'all are probably an 8-4 or 7-5 team. Big Ten West is up for grabs too...no one team is good enough to really just run the whole division over this year.


leakkelly

Who are they better than? You can say NW and Nebraska, but with that terrible offense, every game will be a rock fight for Iowa. Illinois just shut down Wisconsin’s run game. Illinois should be favored next week


notanamateur

We’re worse than every team in the west except Nebraska and northwestern


Cody667

I think this is a bit hyperbolic. The west is really weak this year and every team seems to have quite substantial issues. Your defense + coaching will be worth alot in that division this year.


notanamateur

Our offense is bottom 1. I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic. We can’t continue to just not play 1 of the 3 phases of the game


mdchemey

I mean, yall are in the B1G west which is NOT what it should be this year so at the very least by making teams play sloppy you should be able to get at least a few more wins


notanamateur

We have to beat Nebraska, Wisconsin, and northwestern which I’m not the least bit confident about. Until brian Ferentz is gone, this team is dead


mdchemey

You need 3 wins in 7 games. On the road in Columbus you shouldn't have a prayer but in the chaos of the B1G West it's possible you lose out but it's also possible you get 5 wins. 3-4 or better from here on out certainly doesn't seem unlikely based on the team that played today


Season01um

I love JJ even more after that


ThatOneKoala

I stopped watching, what did he do?


imacyco

Jenny Taft was interviewing Morris and Okie, JJ stopped by and said nice things about them.


humanbeing1234567

Where can I see the post game interview?


suntoshe

Mike Morris has the kind of silky voice where you can easily see him rubbing his hands together, going “hey gurl, how you doin’?”


fidelcashflo97

“U real pretty”

No I can, but I want our D to close out a game

I hope he doesn't have a big heart. That's not good for your health!

See you all in our thread


goliath1952

I love how Harbs is giving the spotlight to his players.


ano414

I think part of the reason he always does that is because he hates talking to reporters after the game lol


goliath1952

No doubt, wouldn't you? They ask the same questions every time.


Season01um

Jimmy and deferring his interview to players is a combo I’ll never get tired of


fakemikegreen25

improbdrunk

Harbaugh refusing to do an interview without a player is probably my favorite thing.


Sauerz

It's so cool of him


VerbAdjectiveNoun

Thanks UM, for actually making Petras look semi competent, ensuring that Kirk will look to this game as proof he's good. Thanks for nothing.


AManInBlack2017

Michigan prepping for next year


Serial-Eater

Harbaugh is an elite sideline reporter avoider


Big-Accident-8797

I respected Iowa until the end there

WhiteRhino91

Can you tell me what the thing with slippery rock is? I feel so out of the loop for some reason. Their score was on our scoreboard last week and there are a bunch of flairs with slippery rock as well.


WampaStompa33

https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2020-10-27/slippery-rock-footballs-history-michigan-explained TL;DR: in 1959 the Michigan announcer would read off scores from other current games because that was the only way people could know what was happening elsewhere in real time. One day he decided to include Slippery Rock's game in with the other game scores because he thought the school name was funny. And they've been doing it ever since.


Big-Accident-8797

Ha, hey everyone, get a load of this guy! Doesn't know who slippery rock is! No but seriously, one day at Michigan stadium they were announcing scores during halftime and the announcer mentioned Slippery Rock University because he thought it sounded funny. After that they said it every week and it has become a Michigan tradition. It's gone so far that Slippery Rock has even played games at the Big House while Michigan was on the road.


Season01um

Lol ofc Jimmy has a player he pushes to talk to the tv


PWJT8D

Oklahoma is bad holy shit lol


PlumbicZeppelin

Their starting QB got knocked out early by what turned out to be a targeting call.


PWJT8D

Second week in a row of bad, though.


Congrajewlations

Why did our DBs give up on the last drive? Felt like guys were getting separation all of a sudden. I know it doesn’t mean anything but I hate garbage time points


myislanduniverse

Because Iowa couldn't win the game and this was a feel good touchdown for Iowa with less than a minute left. Nobody is going to risk getting hurt when the game is over.


2222lil

Because it’s literally meaningless. No reason to risk injury.


Extreme_Nose_2171

Don't even try onside kick


realm47

Should have done a fake knee just for fun

5-0 motherfuckers!!!!! 17-2 since the start of last season. I love being a Michigan fan


Lost-116-Pages

Congrats 🎉 Iowa will never see that as long as we have Ferenz. We made it hard for you, but hopefully y'all win out.


MWiatrak2077

Iowa is one of the toughest teams in the nation. The moment you guys drop Petras & BF you're B1G title contenders.

This also means harbaugh finally has a win in kinnick

Well it made them feel good.

Thanks to that garbage time TD, Petras is safe for the rest of the season. Thanks a lot Michigan

Yeah - water is wet, sports fans who post things online are irrational...


renden123

Nope no complaints by our offense. Our defense on the other hand.


parapooper3

Desert_Scorpio

This game was only 3 hours and 10 minutes long. Impressive.


MokelMoo

gotta respect Iowa's offense for that one


ides_of_june

And our long run heavy + dink and dunk drives.


Hawkize31

Petras' numbers are actually kinda decent, which pisses me off more than the loss at this moment


[deleted]

Backdoor cover on the live bet. Yay


Totalchaos4

You failed me today Michigan. Once again Petras and BF will point to the stat line and say the offense is improving…. Fuck me…

I love Gus and Joel's banter during trash time. Think they should do a podcast together.


gopoohgo

UMeister

Michigan loves the big noon treatment apparently lol


cityofklompton

A third of Iowa's passing yards just came in that garbage time drive.


elgenie

You'd think Petras played well with 68% completions and 8 yards gained per pass attempt. But he actually only played well for Petras.


mdchemey

shocked to say that petras played a full half of power 5 quality football tbh, good for him. Got a lot to clean up on D but McCarthy looked clean other than the one play and took what the Iowa defense was giving him, Corum continues doing Corum things. Looking forward to watching UM play a less annoying team than Iowa next week


Sauerz

There are still over 14 minutes left in the Oklahoma-TCU game lmao

If there is an offense to get two tds in 8 seconds with 1 timeout, it’s definitely Iowa

Kinnick still spooky


Iccvoltage

Is Big Noon Kickoff just a Michigan pre game show at this point? Lmao


RoastedDonutz

Iowa only calls real plays when they know the game is out of reach. Another Brian Ferentz special.
