Around SBN: Lakers Should Trade Andrew Bynum So He Doesn't Go To Waste

Michigan 36, Indiana 33: Hoosiers lead late, but Wolverines rally for win.

I knew, about midway through the third quarter, that whichever team lost was going to believe that they should have won.  IU moved the ball all day but couldn't score in the red zone, other than field goals.  Michigan made a bunch of unforced errors but held on to win.  Back with a recap later.  Damn.  I don't believe in moral victories, but this team may be better than anyone thought.

I don't want to blame the refs for the loss but...

I’m going to anyway. I get that it’s a tough call to make but they both have the ball you can’t screw the team out of a chance to at least tie the game. IU played good football with the exception of being able to finish drives in the redzone. they turn half of those field goals into TD’s and the game is never in question. I’m pleased with how they played and disappointed by how they lost. Hopefully they will have as good if not better of a showing against OSU next week. This team is better than I gave them credit for.

You can't believe everything you read on the internet, that's how World War One got started.

If ever there was a game

Not that Indiana would have necessarily scored on the drive, but as a Michigan fan I have to admit you guys were robbed on that play. Amazing game though, and you’re right, if you convert those red zone trips to TDs instead of Field Goals, game is over. Good Luck with the rest of the season, hope to see your guys in a good bowl game.

That call should have never ever been that close. The fact is that the rule is so obvious is what makes me so obvious.

It was good to see Bill Lynch get jacked up for once. Maybe we need to see that intensity a little more — week in and week out, throughout the rest of the year.

I’m proud of the way they played and if this is the type of effort we see the rest of the year, we’re in good shape. Next week will be huge to prove today wasn’t a fluke.

Hope we build on this game

And don’t take a step back because of its outcome. I don’t imagine we’ll be this lucky against Ohio State, but hanging tough with them would be very good for this team moving forward. They may very well be a team that can compete in the Big Ten week in and week out. I’m excited to find out more.

Michigan fan here...

…who only wants to say that you have a great team that is doing your school proud. Bad call at the end. Best wishes going forward.

Maybe Michigan is just bad (please God no), but this definitely looks like a bowl team for Indiana. Great game, guys.

Another Michigan fan here...

This is surely a bowl team for IU. Our defense isn’t great, but you gave them MORE than they could handle, almost all game until the very end.

Your team should be making everybody in Bloomington proud; they played terrifically today.

Very Proud of IU today

Play like this every week and we will win the games we should and maybe steal some we shouldn’t…

what an effort

but on the road against a good team you have to get 7s instead of 3s.

thanks fo all the Michigan fans for the congrats. once they get their snapping issues figured out, they could make a run in the Big Ten. Ohio State is flawed and Penn State doesn’t look as dominant against teams that actually have a pulse.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!
