FRee SHippiNG they said it • Bob Wojnowski — The Detroit News: "Michigan finishes 7-6, which is both horrible and deserved. I'll say it again: Hoke needs to take a hard look at his staff." oN all leaTHeR pRodUcTS! $3995 • Mark Snyder — The Detroit Free Press: "The end was painful, but hardly surprising. "The 2013 season was defined by what went wrong, instead of what went right, and Saturday's Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl was the Wolverines' chance to steal back some of that respect. "Instead, the Wolverines played a passionless game from the start and were thoroughly handled by Kansas State, a team with similar talent but far more cohesion." • David M. Hale — ESPN .com: "Jake Waters was reticent. It was all so easy, but it didn't feel right to admit that. Still, the numbers told a story. "Waters was exceptional, leading a dominant offensive effort for Kansas State in a win over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Michigan knew what was coming, yet the Wolverines were powerless to stop it. "Yes, Waters had to admit. It was easy." item #1454 Bi-Fold Wallet $14995 Michigan head coach Brady Hoke and Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder exchanged a warm postgame handshake, but the day belonged to Snyder and the Wildcats. item #1450 Briefcase photo by Tim Nelson • Angelique S. Chengelis — The Detroit News: "Michigan arrived here in the desert, nearly a month after its final regularseason game, determined to show improvement and send its seniors out with a victory. "But the Wolverines, who never maintained any consistency this season and took more steps back than forward over the final half of the schedule, faltered in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl late Saturday night with an undefined running game and a leaky defense." • Nick Baumgardner — Mlive.com: "One team showed up to play football, the other was here to run out the clock. "You can guess which team was which. "The left foot never walked in step with the right for Michigan this season. If one side was up, the other was almost assuredly down — especially over the season's final two months. "Saturday was no different." • Teddy Mitrosilis — FoxSports.com: "Things started so swell for Brady Hoke in Ann Arbor. "That upward Michigan momentum couldn't have been further removed from Saturday night and the loss to Kansas State in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl." $6995 item #1455 ipad Case • Joshua Kinder — The Manhattan Mercury: "Michigan may have the winningest football program in history, but this night belonged to Kansas State." • Chantelle Jennings — ESPN.com: "Michigan had a true freshman quarterback making his first start — that was supposed to be the area where Michigan would struggle most. But the Michigan D stepped up and took that honor by giving the Ohio State game an encore. " • Zac Ellis — SI.com: "Perhaps Michigan hadn't fully recovered from its heartbreaking loss to rival Ohio State in the regularseason finale … "The atmosphere surrounding Michigan might be bleak, but Kansas State can head into the offseason with momentum." • Tom Dienhart — BTN.com: "The calendar flipped to December, but Michigan's misery continued."
