I've been a wolverine fan for 40 years. I had to finally create an account to thank you WolverineHistorian. If I miss a game, I know exactly where and when to look. And the quality is second to none. Nice editing.

[@eddievonb.7463]

I took my wife to this game. It was her first Michigan game. Fun times!

[@theproducerspart2]

I love Michigan as much as the next fan but this was a game that featured a high school team vs a college team. Complete blow out.

[@themike95]

Michigan should schedule the University of Delaware. From what I understand they have the winged helmets too with gold and royal blue colors. That would be interesting too see.

[@itsmarkwtf]

Thanx 4 the video WolverineHistorian! Appreciate it. Michigan could have won the 2 loss games that they had if Rich jus switched up his quarterbacks. Looks like he learned his lesson.

[@adotwhite]

thanks for the upload, i was stuck at work and couldnt see the game :)

[@KaiCM]

As always, thanks WH for posting games some of us would otherwise not see!

[@fishbonebuba]

Wow. This is like a snuff film. I feel guilty even looking at it.

[@PhillyWild302]

Love it. Got to go to the Big House for the first time to see my Hornets play Michigan. Even tho we lost, shout outs to the UM fans in Section 38. "FIRST DOWN!!" lmao

[@theproducerspart2]

God this game seems so long ago

[@DeathNote_96]

@Gary McMichael same lol.

[@fmthebaron]

Michigan hasn't gotten a huge blowout like this in awhile, it's nice to see how much they've improved since last year.

[@maizeman90]

No the coach from Princeton(Crisler) brought it directly to UM. An assistant of Crisler at Prin. took it to UD i believe.

[@WolverineHistorian]

@GoldenTate4Heisman Not everyone can schedule "powers" like Army and Navy.

[@TheZooCrew]

@giantsfan729 cont...the ref had a much better angle than the cameras, but you can still see from slo-mo that the ball actually went right through Belcher's hands and Warren actually caught it about 6 inches past. Belcher then attempted to wrestle the ball away from Warren, who had established possession. It's also rash to assume that Indiana would have scored a 70-yard touchdown with two minutes to go when they had just been pounded the previous series with two sacks.

[@magicman13]

So we put up 63 points on Delaware State. Whoopty-fuckin'-doo. Looking good right now, Penn State's going to be a great game.

[@McSomething15]

While I don't know about any 119 points on anyone (let alone State), I do know we put up 86 on Ohio State once. While the biggest margin of victory for the Buckeyes is 38 (a 38-0 defeat), and the most they've ever scored in a game is 50. Which they've done two or three times. The last one coming in 68, the year before Bo.

[@McSomething15]

I actually did see that, but only after I posted that comment. And felt too lazy to post the update. lol

[@Breckenhick]

Exactly, If it wasn't for 6 turnovers vs Iowa and one bad pass from Tate vs MSU we would be 7-0 and atop the standings. The sick thing is we turned it over 6 times and this young team still only lost by two and we had a chance to win the game late. I'm fine with where we are right now and I personally think we will set the tone vs Penn State early with Minor and Brown running downhill, and will retain the lead all game. Michigan 35 Penn State 21.

[@Henderson711]

I believe we can man, and it all starts this weekend against Penn St. GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!

[@jic333]

when i looked at the news paper and saw the score i almost shit my pants

[@RossTheHick]

i was at the game..... it was COLD.

[@theproducerspart2]

Boy oh boy this wasn't even a game GO BLUE!

[@jopakr]

... Now that we're 3 more games on, I think this is looking more like a reality. (Given past performances, I think 1 more win might be overly optimistic). That being said, I stand by my team. GO BLUE!

[@themike95]

Chicago brought back football in 1969 actually. They currently play in D3

[@MgoMuse]

@WolverineHistorian Cant forget Western Michigan, Tulsa, Air Force and Wake Forest.

[@McSomething15]

Forcier got a concussion last week. That's why his decision making was off before he got pulled.

[@Aka326]

Go blue!!!!

[@kobraf150]

We certainly have a shot

[@theproducerspart2]

@TheWolverineTimes But if you think about it Michigan needed a blow out like this. Losing to teams like Appalachian State and Toledo in the past 3 years we needed to beat the hell out of a weak out of conference team. I can bet you this that OSU fans were saying "Watch Michigan lose to this team too!" I was a must to shut up the critics and gain some respect back.

[@McSomething15]

See, didn't know that. Tried looking for it, but couldn't find anything. Other than the OSU scores I mentioned.

[@btc1988]

While I agree with the spirit of your argument, I would blame Cox in this specific instance. I say this because last season when Hoke and Borges came in with an offense more suited to Michael's abilities there was some buzz that he could become an impact player, or at the very least get a few carries. This did not end up being the case as Cox didn't see action at tailback and played only sparingly on ST, before not reurning for a fifth year.

[@McSomething15]

Which is supposed to include the coach. Some people just can't grasp that fact.

[@McSomething15]

And correct me if I'm wrong, but both Yost and Schembechler were "out of the house" hires that people were furious over when they happened.

[@themike95]

We beat West Virginia in 1904 130-0. The most points EVER scored was Ga Tech-222 Cumberland College-0

[@itsmarkwtf]

Poor Del St. They got slaughtered. Kinda feel sorry for them. Im also very happy for MICHIGAN! GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@McSomething15]

What did periods and commas ever do to you to lead you to ignore them so badly?

[@MVillani1985]

It's kind of weird, as dominant as Michigan was this day, why didn't they score in the third quarter?

[@McSomething15]

Well, they didn't exactly know he had a concussion until after that game ended.

[@slickdawg100]

@goblue193 yeah I think so too

[@Henderson711]

what it do Dan. I disagree with you. I think we can manage the rest of our schedule, tho our toughest test to me will be in Madison. We havent looked to good on the road but at home we seem dominant. I dont think OSU will give us much trouble tho it will be a good game

[@B1G_Brother]

I was there

[@hogeboon19]

Speaking of Moundros. What happened to him?

[@AnistonAnarchist]

Was it necessary to stomp Delaware State to the ground? Yes, because we can beat an FCS team. Yes, because we need to brush off Michigan State and Iowa when Penn State comes in next week. Way to go, Big Blue. Domination from start to finish.

[@Henderson711]

Me and this guy go back pretty far and he knows what hes talking about but if he feels we are not a legit team yet thats his opinion and who are we to cut him down. Let him think what he wants

[@TheZooCrew]

@giantsfan729 Not sure you got anything right in that entire paragraph. Mulligan?

[@McSomething15]

You know what I find as funny, the University of Chicago (which hasn't fielded a football team in roughly 60 years) still has more Big Ten titles than Michigan State.

[@CNRSports]

i think mike cox and shaw = starting running backs next year?

[@itsmarkwtf]

[@themike95]

This has to happen to Umass this season, because you don't take any team lightly unless you're up 49-3 at half lol

[@goblue193]

This is what the App St. game should have been like........

[@johnburkardt2189]

That's one positive thing you could say about Rid Rod. HE could dispatch of DI-AA teams. Mighty 3-9 Toledo on the other hand.....

[@TheZooCrew]

@giantsfan729 IMO, when dealing with players, Rich Rod is actually even classier than Lloyd Carr. Carr had several players under him get into trouble with the law and still play. So far, Rod has immediately booted every player to even have an encounter with the cops (Justin Feagin didn't actually have cocaine, but conspired to obtain and sell). If you want classless, look at Saint Dantonio. It's turning into The Longest Yard at MSU.

[@Henderson711]

see this is what I mean when I said we go way back. Me and him both came to the conclusion that a good head coach would have been Ron English. We had other alternates out their you just dont know him. Just let it go man

[@theproducerspart2]

Osu < Purdue nuff said haters GO BLUE!

[@kobraf150]

Cox reminds me of Biakabatuka.

[@rockediny]

@ForceFagerstorm i still don't like the way his recievers had to turn to catch both touchdowns. hopefully he improves his accuracy this year, because if he can pass, defenses won't know what play we'll run. last year whenever he came in they knew it was going to be a run.

[@theproducerspart2]

@TheWolverineTimes BG and Umass are going to get thumped. I'll say it'll be close in the end of the first half against BG but in the 2nd half we pull away big time and drop the Falcons hard. Umass will be a slaughter all game long. BG however does have a few good players to watch out for on offense. Both games though will result in victories. UM 45 BG 17 UM 63 UMASS 7

[@McSomething15]

Not necessarily true. There's the obvious financial gains. Which should never be a factor in these situations, but they are, so I digress. But there's also getting out there in a game situation. While still letting your more injured guys (Forcier, Minor, Brown) rest up. Which then lets your other players get some experience. You can only do so much in practice against the same guys day in and day out.

[@hogeboon19]

Anyone who watches UM football. How good do you guys think Mike Cox can be?

[@TheZooCrew]

@GoldenTate4Heisman You make a good point, but I'm not sure a Notre Dame fan, even a classy one like you, should be talking about scheduling weak opponents. I think David Brandon will up the ante as far as scheduling goes.

[@BrenMcCloud]

I like Rich's thinking here...let the big names (Forcier, Minor, Brown) rest up for that big matchup with Penn State. Is it just me, or is Robinson stating to look better? I know it's aganst an FCS school, but still... And I do like Cone, I must say. I'm not sure why, but I do like him.

[@Henderson711]

we once beat MSU like 119-0

[@ilovenaltsvideos]

at the very end the guy says 63-60

[@landonlee5536]

when you accidentally mistaken the helmets for delaware and it's too late 🤣

[@rockediny]

@TheZooCrew u win

[@albertalves3693]

like playing against some pop warner team!

[@theproducerspart2]

@dabarracuda 2009

[@McSomething15]

And why is that? Plus, do you really think Michigan will only win 1 of the 5 remaining games?

[@victorsvalient]

Hey Michigan fans! If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, download University of Michigan Clock from the App Store!

[@jopakr]

I sincerely hope we don't get into a bowl game with 6 wins.

[@dtownlove10]

This wasn't even fair.

[@McSomething15]

I'm just saying that it would make your posts way easier to read.

[@soldierman1776]

lol i was at this game go blue

[@KINGWYCO]

goblue this weekend

[@Henderson711]

yeah in 1902 it was we beat MSU 119-0

[@RunescapePkKing12]

I think we are going to beat penn state saturday

[@brucesrandomreviews]

First comment! WOW WHAT A BLOWOUT!

[@McSomething15]

He never even played the game? Well then, as I've heard a few people say: "I'm not gonna debate the game of football with somebody that never played a down of it. If you don't have first hand knowledge of the game, you don't have any."

[@Breckenhick]

Once again you didn't answer my question. You call him Dick Rod give an alternative solution to what he is doing OTHER THAN recruit the same type of players Lloyd Carr did and run the same type of offense Lloyd did.

[@PhillyWild302]

Oh you mean the team that wears the "MIchigan" helmets too? lol

[@McSomething15]

Just don't even acknowledge his posts. Even if/when we win a NC (or at least start contending for one again) he'll still be either A) calling for RichRod to be fired or B) saying that it doesn't matter and he should've been fired after 08 anyway. He's a joke.

[@itsmarkwtf]

So it took a concussion for rich 2 figure out to switch his quarterbacks up? Thats too bad.. i hope hes okay!

[@Breckenhick]

What I was implying was that if your not supporting the coach then your in a way wishing the team to fail and in turn are not a fan. If you don't support the coach then you obviously want another coach in his spot and in order for that to happen he would have to either quit or get fired which would mean the team would have to start losing a lot. How can you want this to happen and still consider yourself a fan seriously. BTW what exactly is RR doing wrong dude explain why you don't like him.

[@michffl2004]

I'm not a big RUTS (Run Up the Score) Guy ...... but after the total disrespect Delaware State showed their conference mates (forfeiting a game so they could collect the paycheck signed by Bill Martin) ......... I was hoping Delaware State lost 222-0.

[@DMichiganWol21]

I don't care that it was delaware state. Michigan went home and took care of business. Go Blue!

[@McSomething15]

I'm sorry, but when the guy starts saying the coach needs to be fired at this point in his tenure, then no, he doesn't know what he's talking about. The only guy he's come up with as an alternative was Les Miles. And it should be common knowledge by now that he was never a serious candidate for the job anyway because A) he burned a lot of bridges when he left and B) all of the noise was from him trying to get a pay raise from LSU.

[@McSomething15]

When all he's done recently (ie all I've seen from him) is be nothing but vile towards RichRod, then no, I'm sorry, I can't "just let it slide" or anything like that. When he makes ridiculous comments that aren't backed with any logic or reasoning, I'll call him out on it. And what had English done (who was a pretty good D-coordinator, but that's it) done to suggest he would be a great head coach? Again, it was becoming pretty obvious that we were needing new blood, and RE wasn't it.

[@TheZooCrew]

@giantsfan729 1) Do you not understand the difference in the level of recruited athletes here? Michigan's first string only played one series. The last string players continued to score after 21-0 all the way up to 63. It's not Rich Rod's fault if the opponent can't stop his fourth string. He didn't want this game scheduled. 2) You sound like a whiny WV fan who's pissed that he lost the best football coach he ever had. 3) That call at the end of the Indiana game was legit. Photos prove it.

[@LeGeNDaRY2846]

spinnernet1, what the fuck are you talking about, a 57 point margin should be good considering michigan played 2nd and 3rd strings the whole second half, thats how it should of ended....

[@giantkiller56]

I was at this game. Even though it was ridiculously boring (and poorly scheduled. Sheesh), I'll admit: the band was something else. HBCU bands are much more entertaining. Too bad their football teams generally suck.

[@LOseIDon]

yea barely...

[@Breckenhick]

Shut up man your the type of person that goes to the games and just sits there making no noise. If your not part of the solution your part of the problem. Support Rich Rod or your not a fan of Big Blue!

[@goblue918]

We won't be over confident, i'm pretty sure they know the team they played was horrible. They know psu well, they played well with them for a while last year and then the rest happened obviously. We can easily beat psu, they're an overrated team. As always. Go Blue!

[@thecarrotdude]

del state half time show was pro as hell haha. but their football team sucks.

[@bbj0322]

This is embarrassing. A win is a win, but they shouldn't even count this game. It looked like they were playing some club football team from on campus. Next time just have a bye week, there was no benefit in this game.

[@McSomething15]

It doesn't work that way. You can't say a guy needed to be fired for the amount of time you've been railing on him, then as soon as he wins the big(ger) games stand up and start cheering him. Holding a coach accountable, and calling him DickRod are two totally different things. You've gone from one end of the overzealous spectrum, to the exact opposite. You jumped to false conclusions by thinking RichRod was a quick fix, then you flipped when your too high expectations weren't met.

[@cmoney7463]

absolutely embarrassing

[@WolverineHistorian]

Nope. You don't have to. They're awful. We shouldn't have played them. But it is what it is. Never asked you to be impressed.

[@McSomething15]

And then you'll prove (again) that you're nothing but a fair-weather fan. Again, holding a coach accountable is one thing, but that's not at all what you've done.

[@themike95]

Michigan should schedule the University of Delaware. From what I understand they have the winged helmets too with gold and royal blue colors. That would be interesting too see.
