If any of you were thinking Michigan was all-world beaters last week, think again.

Michigan has the greatest defense of all time though.

Have you been watching Kentucky? There offense looks to be hitting on all cylinders.

Cinci wore down cause they suck and didn't have the horses to hang for 4 quarters.

That offensive game plan was 55 times better than what UF trotted out there last week.

No, anyone watching that game could see Michigan got very lucky Cincinnati's QB couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Cincy got lucky from Michigan sleep walking after a big win, thinking they'd win the game just by showing up.

Early game after a big win against a team that shouldn't have much of a chance - trap game.

Ole Michigan was lucky we were sleep walking before our big game with Northern Colorado.

Seriously, Straws - lets be fricking real for a second. It is obvious to anyone with eyes that Michigan is vulnerable.

Cinci was BAD. Like really bad. And they still did better offensively than UF.

Definitely did bad, but I mean it's not like I'm wrong. Michigan had an early home game against a lesser opponent and seemed pretty sluggish. Early games literally do that to you.

They still won convincingly, and outside of like 2 minutes weren't afraid of losing.

We had the lead at half-time, and let's be real: It'd be a ten point lead if there wasn't a ghost holding. We played bad, but saying Michigan is bad (vulnerable, I'll accept, and we even said that beforehand) is kind of laughable. They're a good team.

We lost to a good team with a (RS) Freshman quarterback without our biggest offensive weapons for our first game of the season.

Now everything on here is just shitting on the team and it's the first fricking game, holy frick guys. They played bad, the last game they played before that they played really well.

If we drop Tennessee and Kentucky, or really just Tennessee (he should be fired if we lose to them at home this year) THEN bitch.

frick you. I'll bitch now. We shouldn't see anything that ugly in year 3. I mean, look, losing is fine. We've said that. 10 suspended players, new QB, etc, fine, put a good product out there, fight hard, lose, that's fine.

THAT WAS A PILE OF shite.

It's a long season, UF could rebound, in fact I have a feeling they will rebound, especially against this SEC east. But, frankly, I'm tired of watching the gators get pounded by decent teams. They need to turn the corner. How many years does he need to turn the fricking corner?

So I get to be angry if UF loses to UT and Kentucky but not to Michigan?

Fine. OK. I'm not angry anymore. I'll wait.

Like I said, I think they'll rebound against the SEC east because it's shite.

I don't think UF will beat anyone worth anything.

But PS - you're examples are full of shite. I said, losing is OK. People lose all the time. That Ole Miss game in 2008 was a tough loss, but hey, I wasn't super angry because guess what, losses happen and that was a pretty fluky loss.

Nothing was fluky about that michigan game except the pic 6's.

I'm angry because our coaches aren't very good, and unfortunately we are stuck with them for a while.

Show me evidence that they are good coaches. What good team have they beaten recently? I'll hang up and wait.

Iowa? They beat Michigan last year?

So one game behind this one. Pretty quick.

Nah bro, should never, ever happen to a coach in HIS THIRD YEAR WITH A TEAM THAT WE OUTRECRUITED BY OVER 20 SLOTS FOR X AMOUNT OF YEARS.

Weird, Auburn didn't have a single offensive touchdown today either.

This shite happens. You come in flat-footed, get caught, and you lose.

Be angry after Tennessee, but this is college football and teams have bad losses all the time -- even Championship winning coaches (Patriots shutout last year against Buffalo comes to mind) slip up.

We'll see.

I basically disagree with everything you just said but am too tired to argue beyond this last thing -

Why wasn't Michigan flat footed?

They started with the team they practiced with the whole Summer.

We lost our biggest producers at the most important positions with a RS Freshman quarterback.

The same reason we looked like a real team when Grier was here, and even when we were outgunned did more with less -- we had a quarterback.

Michigan has a quarterback, not that great, but they have one. Franks did what he could for the first game he's ever played at this level and choked. Zaire made the offensive line look way worse than it actually was.

It's only 30 minutes, but rewatch the game. This is the last game McElwain gets a free ride, period.

We're all on the same page if he can't beat Tennessee -- by a little or a lot.
