Kudos to www.mgoblog.com for its article on JT Barrett did make the 1st down in 2OT. That article took guts. And thanks to Michigan fans showing support and sympathy for the terrorist attack on OSU's campus on 11/28/16. But this is for the few/some/many UM fans who just cannot let it go.
Let me take you back to 2007 when Ohio State was No. 1 and
Illinois came into the Shoe.
On the 3rd play from scrimmage, the Illini RB broke free but dropped
the ball at the 2 yard line on his way to the end zone and we recovered
(but the refs gave them the ball anyway and they scored a TD on the next play). And at the end of the 1st half an Illini WR (No. 9 Benn?) clearly and intentionally took out 2 OSU defenders
on a blatant pick (watch here
and make sure you stay for the replay), and the Buckeyes eventually lost our No. 1
ranking and our (then) chance for the BCS championship.
After that game, do you remember the letter writing campaign we Buckeye fans started to protest the game to the B1G office and demand that the result be
overturned?
Of course you don’t because we didn’t. We were
pissed but we manned up and took the loss. We realized that while those
mistakes hurt us, so did our inability to stop Juice Williams in the 4th
quarter. The refs didn’t cost us the game, we did.
I grow tired of UM fan’s wanting to blame everyone and everything but their team and their coach. Michigan got
out yarded 121-5 in the 4th quarter. You threw 2 INTs deep in your own territory. You fumbled on our 2 yard line. Oh, and as for Ohio
State holding on “each and every play” (see comment section of MGoBlog) you want to know the number of Offensive
Holding penalties called on Michigan? Zero. That’s right. No
offensive holding penalties called on EITHER offense through 4 quarters and 2
OTs. And what is even more amazing, is that Michigan has not been called for Offensive Holding since the first half of the MSU game - that's now 20 straight quarters plus 2 OT sessions. The odds of that happening "naturally" must be staggering.
Get over UM because if either Clemson or Washington lose this weekend, you might just slip back in.
