"Block him, but make it look like you are trying to push through" - the play every team has in their book.

I agree it's interference. But until they call them all, you can't call this one. I see it in so many games. I get their frustration as we've been on their side as well. I do wish they would call them all though. I get "Let them play", but also "Follow the fucking rules".

Another one that is a pet peeve. . . 3 yard clearance for a fair catch. Defenders in range NEVER give 3 yards. Receiver is lucky to get any more than 1. It's never called. Why?f

7 MSU players charged in TTUN tunnel incident.

FYI, there was another non-violent incident when Illinois was there. TTUN needs to do something to fix the situation.

MSU players should sue TTUN in civil court for creating such an unsafe environment.

The tunnel's been there for decades.

Always issues and no one ever talked about them? First the first time ever, there's tons of issues?

The Illinois issue was, Michigan was late leaving the locker room for the field. It was Illinois' time to head out but was held back because now Michigan was ready. 2 minutes were added to half time for Illinois.

I'm confused as to why there are issues now too, but this is like the 6th issue this year. One would think that there has to be something intentional about it or extremely coincidental.

My guess is that things have always happened, but not reported, no one cared. Then, when they reported an incident and people were interested, they started reporting everything. Even an issue like "Michigan is going to head out onto the field now" "But it's OUR turn!"

The first incident reported got a bunch of clicks, so they are running with it now.

Dude, give it time. You're UNC and were just getting discussed on the fringes of the CFP. Give him time to build a roster.

4 years enough time?

We lost to a mediocre ACC team, and then a team playing it's 4th string QB.

Fair question. It's UNC, not OSU, Bama, Texas, etc. You guys have never really been known as a football power, so it's going to take time to change that. I'm betting your facilities are nowhere near what the traditional football powers have either.

Hey Bama lost to a third string QB in the playoffs, so it could be worse.

And, and we can't fill our stadiums. And it's fucking impossible to get there conveniently. I can almost make it to a Commanders' game in less time.

Ryan Day has clearly reached his ceiling.

He should leave for UNC.

Lots of talk about that very thing. Day might be in over his head at this point. Although, our defensive secondary has been atrocious. A bunch of four and five stars who haven’t reached their potential.

Oh well, can’t enjoy the wins if you don’t lose some.

Congrats Cake!

I mean, they've both been the same # of years.

I dunno. At least we're going to the ACC championship game (2nd time!) which State has never done.

At this point, I feel like it has to be win and in for: UGA, UofM, TCU, and USC. But a slip by either of the latter would give OSU a chance.

OSU needs USC to lose to ND and then they need UGA to beat LSU.

I do not want OSU in. They don't deserve it.

Thank you both! We did work really hard this year. :D

Not only did I not expect to win, but obviously also to not win by that much. But it's bitter sweet because I've been hurt by them so many times. Have they really changed this time?! It would be nice to have the old Michigan back. 5 more years of this, and I'll feel better about the relationship.
