Wow. Your personal attack means I touched a nerve. Enjoy your championship.

Michigan’s D was effective at swallowing the Penix and keeping the Penix from penetrating the end zone.

Great game. This is doubly sweet for me. Born and raised in Michigan but live in Washington state.

Thank you! Remember there is a rematch this fall when Washington joins the Big10...it will be anticlimactic though as both teams will be sending a bunch of players to the NFL. The good news is that you west-coasters are going to have all kinds of new players and teams to hate!

Yup, Michigan travels to Seattle next October, both teams will have to rebuild by then. UW also plays Penn State, Indiana, Iowa and Northwestern this upcoming season.

It will be interesting playing BIG10 opponents.

>> As I said, I was pulling for the Huskies.

I’m thrilled that Prog Seattle got its ass thoroughly kicked.

What a worthless hellscape Seattle is.

Maybe before conference play UW will be a bigger draw for the $$$ games, like Notre Dame. Time for someone else to smack them around!

I believe I just read a Tweet/ X post that said Michigan will host FR HQ home team Fresno St. next season. ($2 million to Fresno they say). Go ‘Dogs! ;-)

You were right, I was wrong...didn’t think I’d see a NC in my lifetime.

I beg to differ. They held the most explosive offense to 13 points, and the least yards in two years. Michigan’s defense won that game. And not just a few plays.

Vince Vaughn was in the bar where we watched the game. Turns out he’s a good guy. One of the only ones rooting for Michigan. With good humor he liked to rib the Washington fans at the next table.
