Michigan vs. Purdue Game Thread

[hail2mich]

Well Purdue came out with a quick TD in about 2 minutes. Pathetic defense once again by Michigan.

[GoBlue21]

JONAS MOUTON BLOWS AN ASSIGNMENT, GO FIGURE!!!

How is that dude still playing, seriously?!?!

[hail2mich]

Roundtree just saved an interception.

Edit: Now they are reviewing it. With the officiating in the past few weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave Purdue the ball.

[hail2mich]

Still Michigan ball. Let's see some blocking by the O-line.

[hail2mich]

TD Minor! What a run. This guy is a beast.

[buckeye7]

nice run..that was a sportscenter highlight

[GoBlue21]

TD Minor! What a run. This guy is a beast.

YES SIR!

Roundtree had a GREAT drive as well, 3 catches and 1 of them a DRIVE SAVER!

[bighousemike84]

I think you can see that on Minors TD run his ankle is still bothering him. Healthy, he goes into the endzone untouched. It looked almost like he was pulling up a little as he got to the outside

[hail2mich]

Did they take Mouton out!?!?!?!?

[hail2mich]

My God, they could have stopped Purdue on 3 and out, but shit tackling keeps the drive alive. Now Purdue is at Michigan's 29.

[hail2mich]

Thank you Mr. Graham. It's a 1 man defense.

[GoBlue21]

The same guys get picked on, it's quite amusing! Williams and now Woolfolk...

Graham is plain RETARDED. Can the defense just play with his intensity, PLEASE?

[bighousemike84]

thank god for Brandon Graham. I feel so sorry for that guy, hes like the Trix rabbit that gets so close to the Trix but "silly rabbit Trix are for kids" one of the best DEs Michigan has had in the last 10 years and he gets stuck on some terrible teams

[hail2mich]

Nice return by Stonum.

[Bighouse]

Why is Tate wearing a beanie under his helmet? My god it's 55 degrees.

[hail2mich]

51 yard field goal!

[hail2mich]

Hey, late hit on Mike Williams. Keep it up Mike!

[GoBlue21]

WHY IS MIKE WILLIAMS PLAYING? He is a CANCER!

[hail2mich]

3rd and 1, and we give a 6-7 yard cushion. WHY?

[hail2mich]

Will Campbell is in. This is really the first time I've seen him in a close game situation.

Nice hit by Stevie Brown.

[GoBlue21]

Hello Stevie Brown! Haha

[goblue]

Just got finished putting the Christmas lights and decorations outside. My wife will only do it with me when the weather's warm.

I see the score is 10-10, 2 minutes left in first quarter.

[GoBlue21]

Michigan's defense got a TURNOVER!!! Woohoo

[hail2mich]

Yes, interception by Kevin Leach! Looks like it was tipped by Van Bergen.

[goblue]

Interception Kevin Leach. Michigan's ball.

[hail2mich]

Denard is in with Tate.

[goblue]

Good first down run by Forcier.

[hail2mich]

Minor TD! Wow

[GoBlue21]

Brandon Minor is taking over today!

[goblue]

TD Minor!!!!!!!!!!!

55 yard run. We need Minor healthy.

Michigan 17-10.

[hail2mich]

Fitzgerald has looked pretty good so far at LB.

[hail2mich]

Roh with a nice play. The younger guys are looking better than the experience guys so far (except Graham of course)

[hail2mich]

I just threw up a little in my mouth during that punt.

[Check]

Iowa is in trouble with Northwestern. Stanzi injured his ankle, looked really bad. his backup just threw a pick.

[hail2mich]

Forcier throwing the ball very nicely so far today.

[hail2mich]

Iowa is in trouble with Northwestern. Stanzi injured his ankle, looked really bad. his backup just threw a pick.

That's too bad. Hopefully he gets better.

[wolverine]

so far tate looks like his old self today

[hail2mich]

TD Roundtree!!! Everything is clicking on offense.

[GoBlue21]

Brandon Minor is taking over today!

Let me add that Roundtree is taking over as well, WOW! This kid is a having a GREAT GAME!

[Check]

Man, wish I had Big 10 so I could see this game after watching losses the last few times I have seen us play. At least I have the ESPN gametrack and y'alls updates. Keep the updates coming.

[goblue]

Do you notice the weather is better and Forcier seems to able to play better?

[hail2mich]

Interception by Warren! The defense is playing better with Mouton out.

[goblue]

Interception Donovan Warren. Michigan ball at 50.

[hail2mich]

Michigan goes 3 and out.

[goblue]

Michigan punts. Purdue ball at 17.

[hail2mich]

Indiana's giving Wisconsin a good game right now.

[hail2mich]

Michigan stops Purdue's drive. Michigan up 24-10 at half. Offense was running smooth and the defense was actually decent after the first drive.

[cartyboi]

BRANDON MINOR is the key to our offensive success. Without Minor, we lack that run game that wears defenses down. Sure, Brown is a good back that has explosive plays but Minor runs his ass off on every play. Plays with a chip on his shoulder. Say what you want about the defense.. they help Purdue to ten points and gave us the ball in good field position. I'll take a defense like that over a defense we had last year any day.

I know RR will be yelling in the locker room. He'll be telling the boys to put their foot on their throats. Don't let up, men. Nobody comes into our house and spits on our shoes. You go out there and embarrass them until we take you out of the game!

Go Blue! Bowl eligible!

[hail2mich]

Shit, turnover in Michigan territory. Not what Michigan needs. Purdue ball at the 19

[hail2mich]

TD Purdue. God dammit, Michigan just let Purdue back into the game.

[wolverine]

here we go again

[hail2mich]

Michigan has to get points here on this drive. Cannot give Purdue the momentum like we did last week

[hail2mich]

Thank you Stonum, now let's get this back to a 2 score game

[wolverine]

needed to break that

[bighousemike84]

God I fucking hate Mike Williams! He gave up 2 touchdowns to Juice by overpursuing and he gave up that last TD by overpursuing( I realize I probably spelled that wrong so dont hate me)

[hail2mich]

There we go Mathews. That was a big 3rd down conversion.

[hail2mich]

I really can't blame the D on that last drive. They were pinned back.

[hail2mich]

TD Tate! Good job getting back that TD.

Forcier is limping

[wolverine]

we needed that bad

[hail2mich]

Extra point is no good...

Hopefully Tate is OK. I don't need to see Denard in right now

[GoBlue21]

God I fucking hate Mike Williams! He gave up 2 touchdowns to Juice by overpursuing and he gave up that last TD by overpursuing( I realize I probably spelled that wrong so dont hate me)

I'm glad someone is see's this! How is he still playing? They FINALLY pulled Mouton and Ezeh, he's gotta be next!

[wolverine]

the defense needs to really step it up and get an 3 and out

[Bighouse]

Tate down with a bad knee.

[bighousemike84]

I really can't blame the D on that last drive. They were pinned back.

I dont blame the D for being pinned deep in their own territory but I do blame Williams for giving up contain AGAIN! The outside was closed to the runner but for some reason Williams over pursued, for some reason he was heading outside and because he did he opened up a lane for the runner to cut it back inside. That is his fault all the way

[hail2mich]

I understand what you are saying. Williams has been god awful this year and I can't believe there isn't anyone better than him.

[wolverine]

hope that missed pat does not come back to haunt us

[hail2mich]

These LB's are looking alot better than Ozeh and Mouton

[wolverine]

cant anybody make an stop on 3rd down

[bighousemike84]

I would have never thought that the coaching staff would have taken out A guy like Ezeh but shit its working. These other kids are young and inexperienced but they are making plays that Ezeh or Mouton wouldnt have made

[wolverine]

this drive is looking just likethe one illinois took over last week will somebody make an big play

[hail2mich]

Purdue with a big drive. Keep them out of the endzone!

[bighousemike84]

Well at least Mike Williams can make a tackle when it counts

[hail2mich]

TD Purdue. Once again bad tackling.

[wolverine]

what the hell cant anyone tackle on this team they better get there crap together or this one gone too

[hail2mich]

Purdue just did an onside kick and recovered....

Time for the D to STEP UP

[wolverine]

oh crap this game has just gotten away from us

[hail2mich]

TD Purdue. The wheels are falling off fast

[wolverine]

ive got to throw up

[bighousemike84]

Chris Martin can suck my cock! What a freaking cock knuckle

[hail2mich]

Missed extra point kills

[hail2mich]

What happened to those great 2nd half adjustments that Robinson makes?

[bighousemike84]

Also that onside kick only went 9 yards. It was kicked at the 35 and the Purdue player grabbed it at the 46, I might be wrong but I still think the ball never went 10 yards

[hail2mich]

If it was grabbed at the 46, then it went 11 yards.

Forcier is back in

[wolverine]

as I said last season,,,,,AND I have been saying all this season ,,This is what happens when you do not play sound Defense, I just hope tate and the offense can step it up because the D can not do it

[hail2mich]

3rd and 10 coming up for Michigan. Big trouble if we don't get this

[hail2mich]

3 and out. Terrible blocking once again. I hate this, we're falling apart again this week

[wolverine]

ok all you offense lap dogs this is what ive been talking about you need an great defense to WIN

[hail2mich]

ok all you offense lap dogs this is what ive been talking about you need an great defense to WIN

All Michgian needs is a mediocre defense and they win this one and also Illinois.

[wolverine]

big 3rd down

[wolverine]

All Michgian needs is a mediocre defense and they win this one and also Illinois.

[GoBlue21]

You blame EVERYTHING on RichRod BUT the Michigan defense hasn't been good for years! He hired Greg Robinson (great resume) but he CAN'T fix it overnight. Do you see the talent on defense? LACKING!

[hail2mich]

Nice run by Minor. Almost went the distance

[wolverine]

almost broke that one

[GoBlue21]

BTW you may enjoy losing but ill never like it

NO, I'm patient! BIG DIFFERENCE!

[wolverine]

[hail2mich]

[Bighouse]

[wolverine]

[hail2mich]

Big play by Purdue. We're in trouble. I'm gonna leave my computer

[bighousemike84]

No underneath coverage! Fucking Linebackers!!!!!!!

[GoBlue21]

no I do agreewith you on not all RR fault on defense carr has some of that too

I mean, the defense has 2 starters that are WALK-ONS. That is sad!

Sorry about the comment earlier, I'm just as frustrated as you!

[bighousemike84]

Mike Williams gives up another touchdown!

[wolverine]

I mean, the defense has 2 starters that are WALK-ONS. That is sad!

Sorry about the comment earlier, I'm just as frustrated as you!

yea I am too its just sad we cant hold ANY team on 3rd down

[GoBlue21]

Mike Williams gives up another touchdown!

I seriously don't understand how they don't have someone to replace him?!?! ANYBODY!!!

[wolverine]

we have to score and its up to the offense

[GoBlue21]

yea I am too its just sad we cant hold ANY team on 3rd down

The defense is HORRIBLE! I feel sorry for Graham and Warren! The 2 safeties are just bad but I can't blame Kovacs, he a freakin WALK ON!

[GoBlue21]

Mouton AGAIN? JFC...

[wolverine]

man listen to the boo birds

[wolverine]

this is the last chance for the D to stand tall

[wolverine]

good lets get an TD

[wolverine]

whew close one

[Voleye]

bad call !

[GoBlue21]

whew close one

Michigan FINALLY caught a break...

[Voleye]

forward laterall?

[wolverine]

here is the game

[Voleye]

should be a first down

[GoBlue21]

should be a first down

I agree Voleye! Nothing to OVERTURN the call on the field

[wolverine]

game over again

[Voleye]

But the call against IU should have gone the other way. Karma I guess

[Voleye]

I dont see what they saw

[bighousemike84]

Do you like the call to go for it on 4th and 10? With just under five minutes to go in the game I kick the field goal and take the chance that you will get the ball back with time to score. Also thats a bullshit call, it wasnt forward at all

[Voleye]

Nw 17 Iowa 10 1:50 left

[wolverine]

Do you like the call to go for it on 4th and 10? With just under five minutes to go in the game I kick the field goal and take the chance that you will get the ball back with time to score. Also thats a bullshit call, it wasnt forward at all

yea i agree unless RR thought He could not make it

[AbRKnight]

Do you like the call to go for it on 4th and 10? With just under five minutes to go in the game I kick the field goal and take the chance that you will get the ball back with time to score. Also thats a bullshit call, it wasnt forward at all

I don't think he has much faith in the defense to get the ball back at this point.

[GoBlue21]

Jason missed an EXTRA POINT and missed a FG BADLY his last 2 kicks. I don't mind the call going for it...

[Voleye]

NW beats Iowa

[wolverine]

go for the block

[wolverine]

late hit not called

[Voleye]

minor 4 times if thats what it takes. nothing else

[GoBlue21]

Damn, another close loss...

[Voleye]

off the subject. Why is RR wearing sunglasses in the shade?

[bighousemike84]

if Forcier just bursts up field then he might not score but he gets a lot closer than he did get

[wolverine]

game over now can we win one of the last with this defense I do not think so...BTW the first time since 1966 michigan has lost to purdue at michigan another RR first

[bighousemike84]

There will be enough time for 2 maybe 3 plays for Michigan

[Voleye]

go for the block? Or return

[bighousemike84]

juts hope the return man can hold on to the ball!!!

[Voleye]

He saved a couple seconds by picking the ball up

[Mich97c]

holy crap we suck. Seriously suck. 5-7 no bowl. Great job.

[joeismyname]

I can't believe it. A bowl is looking very unlikely now, but something good could happen for us. We should have won this one. We had them where we wanted them and then all it took was a fumble, a missed extra point, and an onside kick for Purdue to seal the deal. This team will eventually learn how to win. I think the defense will come along with it. It wasn't a poorly coached game, Michigan's players just beat themselves...............again.

Go Blue!
