No. 25 Michigan routs Eastern Michigan 45-17

it has been a long time since michigan has beaten the snot out of their opponents.

38-0 ring a bell? Maybe that it happened TWICE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS!

Or 47-21?

Not gonna happen Michael, sorry.

the funniest part of that, in your retarded logic, is that one loss(even though your guaranteed 2 more) was from MICHIGAN..@#$% you go to hell @#$%, haha

You know all you idiots will be nowhere to be seen when ND is 10-1, and mich has long since dropped out of the top 25. That's the funniest part of all of this...hahahaha

And a lot of fans hate programs because of their fans, and mikey you are on sore @#$% loser fan...so @#$% you and @#$% notre dame., @#$% your fat ass coach, and @#$% your goofy looking QB

Mikegold, I'm a Michigan transplant to Clearwater. My daughter will be going to UF in 2 years. When I got down here they had some recruiting issues (Galen Hall) but have cleaned it up since then. I'm a Gator fan unless they are playing Michigan. I agree with most of what you said. But Michigan is one Big Ten team that has handled the SEC(21-4, Florida 2x). We're still a couple years away from getting back to where we were but took a big step this year and the future looks good. It will be hard to repeat just because that is the way collge football is. Need to be good and lucky. The years of totally dominanting from beginning to end are gone now that scholarships are down to 85 from the 125 in the old days. Too much talent to spread around, makes an undefeated season very tought top achieve. Would love to see ND schedule Florida, LSU, or Alabama. It wouldn't be pretty. Now if the ND pukes would quit whining like girls, like that's going to happen.

Mikey, what is your record against Michigan the last 4 years? I believe you won 1. Somewhere in there were a couple of woodshed whoopins, 38-00 ring any bells in your empty head? Whats your record against State? That was your first home win against the Spartens since Holtz was calling the shots. The Big L hung on you this year is there no matter how much you cry. You suck and still aren't a factor in any national championship talk. Last year was the first losing year in 40 years. How many do the irish girls have. Oh and what's your bowl record in the last 10 years ? 1 W?

LOL @ michael for claiming that ND plays a "tough" schedule.

What was the score of the two games before that Michael? ND got destroyed.

Sorry Michael I can’t win an award that was already given away to you. I appreciate you wanting to give me your award but i have to pass on it. What I said is perfectly legitimate. UM for the most part is a perennial favorite and is in the top 10 or 5 for that matter almost every year. Yes Michigan has been down the last few years but you have to look way way back in history to see the last time Michigan wasn’t one of the top 25. And that’s why Notre Dame and Michigan state and many many other programs and fans hate them. People don’t hate them because of the refs they hate them because for the most part their teams can’t normally beat Michigan! Read what was said not what you want to hear because you’re trying to give away your biggest idiot award.

hey @#$%ot ass mikey..i wonder what bowl game the irish were in when they lost Brady Quinn and Jeff whatever his last name is...shut the @#$% up...yall are gonna get beat by washington and usc atlease...how does it feel not to be in the top 25..cuz apparently we arent the one ppl that think michigan is better than Notre dame...the experts think so too....so enjoy being in the independent leage..and when you feel like you can step your @#$% up, you can join the big ten...get outta here @#$%ot.

The "fun" of sports fan comments is how "objective" and rational they generally are. The notion that the Michigan win against ND was "fixed" being just one of the more obvious delusions being touted here. But as probably the only person to weigh in here who: A) has two graduate degree from U of Florida; B) a graduate degree from U of Michigan; and C) lives in Ann Arbor, perhaps I can be a little more reasonable.

1) Michigan is a vastly better team than they were last year, and only a blind person would suggest otherwise.

2) Michigan legitimately beat ND, and all the whining in the universe will never change that fact. If the ND fans can't accept that they were beaten legitimately, I'm not surprised. But that doesn't rewrite history.

3) Michigan didn't go to a bowl game last year, nor did they deserve to. But how many times have they missed a bowl in the last half-century? And how many times has ND GONE to a bowl with a mediocre record because of their vast and mobile fan base? Let's not delude ourselves that who goes to bowls is always a matter of the quality of the teams: money is a HUGE factor, and fans = money.

4) ND, for whatever reasons, simply isn't what it once was, and Charlie W. hasn't helped them enough. He was a fabulous NFL assistant coach with no head coaching track record. Why anyone ever thinks that a college coach will automatically succeed in the pros or vice versa remains a mystery to me.

5) Florida has been the best team in college football for the last four years. The #1 factor has been team speed. The #1a factor has been leadership - that of the coach and of Tim Tebow, who is the toughest, gutsiest player I've ever seen, both mentally and physically. Any college football fan who wouldn't want him on his/her team is a cretin. Even if he weren't physically talented, his leadership qualities make him invaluable. He and Meyer are a perfect fit.

6) The above said, the Gators looked a bit flat on offense against Tennessee. The loss of Percy Harvin is not insignificant. He's one guy who can NEVER be ignored on the field. I don't know if they have a receiver of that caliber this year, at least not yet. Nonetheless, they still are good enough to win every game and would be a favorite against every team I've seen so far this year. Home or away or bowl game.

7) For the record, I have rooted for UM over UF when they've played, but it has been fun to see Michigan win a national championship while I was in school here, and to see Florida win a bunch of them (in basketball, too), even though I wasn't there to attend the games. I was there in the Doug "Underachievement King" Dickey days. That was masochism personified.

8) Finally, what Tim Tebow may or may not do in the pros is quite irrelevant to his value NOW. And the guy is a proven winner. He'll be an asset in the pros, maybe at another position, maybe at QB, but somehow he will contribute. Because he has enormous will and dedication. I'm not a religious person, but unlike a lot of athletes, Tebow doesn't seem obnoxious about his religion and is obviously sincerely dedicated to humanitarian principles and ACTS. I have to respect that. This is a guy who will not wind up embarrassing his fans, family, or team.

Damian...well you get the biggest idiot award of all these postings....it is always 'next year' for you idiots it has been a long time since michigan has beaten the snot out of their opponents..you obviously are ignorant of college football....learn a little bit about the game before you add your two cents worth ...

To Michael. Yeah we BARELY beat Michigan state yesterday winning by 3. Good job. The Spartans are the Lions of the big 10. Don’t be too proud of the fact we barely beat them. If ND was back to our former self we would have destroyed the Spartans. Yeah I’m a fan of the Irish and you my friend are being an idiot. The Irish are NOT back yet next year watch out. But not this year. The wolverines beat us fair and square and they deserve some respect. Michigan isn’t hated because of refs they are hated because they normally beat the snot out of everyone!

ChrisR-

I think you hit the nai on the head with your assessment of weeding out the week knees in the UM program!

Mich has gotten off to a good start on home turf...if they can pull out a win against MSU or Iowa on the road in a few weeks, that will mean a lot as they move into the second half of the season.

You are right, the OSU-MICH game in Nov will be an epic......just hope Pryor will take it like a man when he gets hit 15-20 times by those blitzing linebackers and corners!!

Ok first off let me say I’m not a fan of Michigan I’m a fan of football. Yes I have a team but that’s not relevant to what I’m going to say. So here is the truth about all of this. First Michigan may or may not be back to their former glory it’s too early to tell but they did beat Notre Dame fair and square it wasn’t “fixed” as some idiot said. As far as Florida and the running back they call a quarterback are concerned it is fixed. The SEC is NOTHING!!!! Florida plays 2 games all year this year in LSU and Georgia that’s it. The rest of their schedule is a joke! Michigan plays teams like Ohio stats, Penn state, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Notre Dame, ANY team should be able to come out of the big 10 with 1 or even 2 losses and still be ranked higher than any undefeated SEC team. Sorry but it’s the truth the Big 10 is a way better conference than any other conference in college football and that’s that! Stop @#$%ing about Michigan if any team is over rated and gets special treatment in college football its Florida with their joke schedule. If you want to argue go right ahead because your wrong so you can yell scream all day I don’t care because YOUR WRONG!

You are such a hyprocrite Hazbro. You squeeze out a win against the mighty Irish, playing in your own backyard, and with the refs 'fixing' the game, and then you make excuses as to why the Irish crushed Michigan last year. This is exactly why michigan is one of the most hated programs in College FB.

One thing I can guarantee all of you , is that ND will be in a higher tiered bowl than michigan. Gee, I forget, what bowl game was michigan in last year???

UM will have at least 10 wins this year..all you Biting Irish fans crawl back under the Blarney Stone for another year..Rudy is gone..
All you Buckeye fans who think you still have a chance to win the Nat. championship....uh,NO.
UM has a victory over the Florida 'Baters and Tim Teabag...I think we'll get another shot at him this year.
GO BLUE!!!!

Michigan will get better win or lose... They are playing great with freshmen.. imagine a couple years with even more recruits and more depth and time to grow... lol.. its going to be ridiculous... and all the michigan haters on this board know that... so get your kicks in now... because 2 years from now.. top 3 National championship level will be a yearly reality... This team has great chemistry... And why are florida fans on here? We kicked FLORIDAS ass 2 years ago... lol get the @#$% outta here florida.. @#$%. lmao.. we even went down into florida and beat that ass..lol I dont care what you do 2 other teams or if you even win the @#$% title.. when you played US... we WHIPPED YOUR ASS. We are 4-1 against SEC teams last 5 years... Michigan TAKES respect when we play SEC teams... period.

The blue will be alright. They will do all the right things to win. Remember rich rod knows how to win. He beat georgia and oklahoma years ago. He knows how to win on the big stage and not choke like osu.

oh and mikey..last year you beat us 35-17 yea thats great..but we had a new coach, not an established QB, RB, or WR...and we just lost all of our player sin the draft...and you had a fat coach in his 4th year in teh ssytem..with a sophomore QB...and your crappy team still let us score 17 points...go @#$% yourself.

for the notre dame fan (#42)...your an idiot...you never play on neutral turf dumbass..and even if you play eachother in a bowl game..one team is gonna be closer to home then the other...honest refs..@#$% yea they were honest refs..we had just as many penalties in that game that your piece of @#$% team, we just performed better in the cluch...so go @#$% yourself..oh yea dont forget about games like Washington, USC, pittsburg and stanford..at best yall be a 8-4 or 9-3 team...so have fun in a middle tier bowl...and stopping talkign @#$% like a sore loser you simple @#$%

and number 50....if michigan beat notre dame, then how the @#$% do you expect ND to beat teams that this michigan team would lose to...jimmy clausen lost to a freshman..fare and square..stop being like @#$% Patriot fans and just take a god damn lost, haha..(patriot fans, how does 18-1 look haha...GO DOLPHINS)

Mikey, besides the fact that you only get to play once and you LOST, Michigan would beat you 10 out of 10. See talkin is cheap. But I do KNOW that we won 1 out of 1. And that matters a heck of a lot more than your idiotic predictions.

Mikey #50. Big talkin for claiming that U of M couldn't beat the teams on your schedule. No way to prove or disprove. Just a big mouth for a chump whose team lost to U of M. Your perfect season is already gone. So shootin your mouth just makes you look like a moron. Your opinion is irrelevant but the L is official. You barely made it past State today and gave up another 400+ yards. Your defense is terrible, they can't stop the pass or the run. Lucky you only have 1 ranked team on your schedule, you would finish 4th at best in the Big Ten and most likely about 6th. But thats why you sissies didn't join. Embarassing enough to be wiped by U of M or State or both every year. Remember the last couple of games against OSU? They outscored you something like 100 - 14. Man Holtz looked liked he was going to cry last week.

hey # 50 there is no way nd will run the table there defense is horrible and if the dbs of any team can stay deep and take out clausens deep ball notre dame has nothing there a joke
