I hear you...

...but what happened in Ann Arbor was not just a loss.

It was complete and utter destruction.

It was a Viking raid level of destruction: village burned to the ground, fields salted, men left to die in the cold, and women taken away as slaves. Notre Dame looked like a high school team while Michigan looked dominant.

Ten wins, beating a ranked opponent, gaudy point spreads...none of it matters. There's simply no way to recover from the disaster in Ann Arbor.

Our season ended that night, pure and simple.
