I went back over the last week and allowed myself the pleasure of enjoying the OSU and PSU wins free from the noise and axiety/annoyance of the Sign-gate and Jim's corresponding suspension.
Two wonderful performances at face, but given what the program had been subject to and without their head coach - an incredible tribute to this remarkable group. They've set the new standard for "Team" and "Toughness" (particularly mentally) around here.
Anyways the clips and comments coming out of the Penn State postgame were mostly centered around Sherrone Moore's raw emotion.
Less covered has been Blake Corum's comments when Moore handed the interview to him. After giving Moore a big sincere hug, Corum - his face literally still bloodied from the war he had just won - was asked if he was proud of Coach Moore. His response, no surprise, was a perfect reflection of him and this team:
"I expected nothing less (of Coach Moore). I expect nothing less from ANY of my Michigan Men. We did this for Michigan. What are you going to do when your back is against the wall and you feel like everybody is against you? What are you going to do? Are you going to cower down? Well, I was taught to stand on all ten and keep fighting. Keep punching. Keep going. I'm so proud of my university, the guys, the coaches.....Coach Harbaugh this is for you. Everything that is going on right now is just bringing us closer together. I love my team.
And we love you Blake.
Ignore the noise and savor every minute of this group.
