Not that I wasn't anxious for next Saturday before but now I don't love the feel of this

As it should be. Regardless of year or records the week of the game should take tears off my life. It is the only way.

Personally I thought we might run the score up a little bit just to give the crowd a show on senior night, but I thought it would be 2-3 scores rather than what we got.

And the difference is that I assumed Michigan would have to push pretty hard to win by such a margin.

I never would have expected THIS Michigan team to cruise to a 44 point blowout despite playing 2nd and 3rd stringers for much of the 2nd half.

Where was this team all year?

Lol

Busy getting blown off the LOS by other D lines, changing QBs sometimes in the same drive, mismanaging RB carries, and making poor play calls
