Hey that's not fair. I barely come here, in fact I barely frequent the UM board.

Well I know you've seen what's happened to the tiger forum.

That’s the point, only time you come here is to be a troll. He’s right about the mods, you’re probably not as bad as kalinecountry, but that’s a pretty low bar.

Shorthanded Michigan State Showed Potential Against Boston College​

Saw this headline come across my MSN feed today and thought, 'Man, it must be so easy to get an article about sports published.' I hope this clown doesn't make any real money on this garbage - he's basically rehashing headlines from week 2 & 3. In week 1 we looked like rusty dog shit, in week 2 & 3 we saw some flashes of potential. Against BC we didn't show potential, we reminded everyone of our capacity to blow a game down the stretch - and that Chiles has some serious work to do, we don't have a legit playmaker at WR (we might, but he's a true freshman and he's injured), our line stinks and our starting TB is pretty average at best.

It's not time to sound the alarm or abandon ship - I think Smith has done a decent job and I think our offense is a lot more fun to watch in terms of scheme, execution on the other hand needs some work. But we didn't show potential this weekend, we demonstrated we're nowhere near being a complete team. Even shorthanded, we should have won that game but we were 3-1 on the wrong side in turnovers, virtually of them our fault. And as well as the defense played there were at least 2 plays that killed us (Haladay whiffing on a tackle on 3rd and long and the CB and safety absolutely blowing coverage to give up a 42yd go-ahead TD - that was just plain awful).

Probably the biggest area of improvement was in penalties - we only had 3 for 15 yards but the PF, even though it was probably a bad call was costly as it extended a drive.
