So, after we win tomorrow
Yeah, don't tempt fate. f@ck that. After we WIN tomorrow, who do we root for in Wisconsin v Minnesota? I really wanted to have the Fighting Frosts to hang on so the B1G Title Game could be for The Jug, but absent that, I'm torn between the difficulty of beating the Badgers twice vs the incredible aptitude of the Hawkeyes for turning sh#t into Shinola.

If we win the game tomorrow it should not matter what team we face. BRING YOUR BADGERS AND GOPHERS. THEY ARE MEAT.
I’ve moved to 50/50 we win tomorrow. If it’s anything other than a blowout I like our chances. Hit them in the mouth early and let’s goooooooooooo!
November 26th, 2021 at 8:03 PM ^
50/50! I'm sippin' on some Kool Aid as well, but sounds like you might have the hundred proof stuff lol.
All joking aside, I do think Michigan can script a game where they can keep this thing close and give themselves a shot at the end to win it. Sounds like Vegas has their odds at about 25% based on the spread. I think our chances are a little better than that, but I don't think this will be a coin flip matchup for us. I would say 35/65 we pull out the victory.
Just hope these kids don't come out and play too tight, carrying the weight of nearly two decades of losses on their shoulders. That is not their burden to carry. Just go out there and execute the game plan, don't blow assignments, play their asses off and have fun playing in the best rivalry game in sports. If they can do that, I think they'll give themselves a chance.

STORM THE FIELD
November 26th, 2021 at 7:50 PM ^
Iowa is the preferred opponent for sure
November 26th, 2021 at 7:51 PM ^
I’d take Iowa
November 26th, 2021 at 7:56 PM ^
Of course I'm going to have a little tryst with my wife.
Oh, wait, what was this post about?
November 26th, 2021 at 9:59 PM ^
I am also going to have a tryst with your wife.
November 26th, 2021 at 11:16 PM ^
Sounds like it's going to be a party
November 26th, 2021 at 7:58 PM ^
Honestly, I really couldn't care less who comes out of the West. I've been solely focused on pondering scenarios in which Michigan can win this game tomorrow. If they have the good fortune of actually doing it, I'll take any and all comers out of the B1G West.
November 26th, 2021 at 7:59 PM ^
I would much rather play Iowa. Wisconsin has had much better advanced metrics all year, even when Iowa was #2 (lol) and the Badgers were left for dead. Now the latter has reverted to the mean, and the former is still a bit due for a correction
Plus I despise rematches in college football generally
November 26th, 2021 at 8:01 PM ^
Threadjack. I hear Schwarzels back.
November 26th, 2021 at 8:09 PM ^
Sounds like this has not been substantiated. A few posters tried to put this on the board and got locked/removed. I have seen a couple random Twitter accounts claim Schwarzel is doing the game, but I haven't seen any credible source confirm it yet.
Would be absolutely ridiculous if that actually turns out to be true.
November 26th, 2021 at 9:03 PM ^
At this point it has been substantiated by both Chengelis and Balas. That is enough to merit discussion.
November 26th, 2021 at 8:05 PM ^
After watching our victory, I’ll be down at Ford Field to watch King battle Dewitt for the D3 State Title.
November 26th, 2021 at 8:15 PM ^
Don't miss the D5 game. It will be the best officiated game of the day. And the best officiated games of the finals.
November 26th, 2021 at 9:42 PM ^
I take it you will be a zebra on that crew?
November 26th, 2021 at 8:23 PM ^
Hey, we used to play Dewitt. They had winged helmets back then IIRC.
November 26th, 2021 at 8:14 PM ^
I don’t care who wins the ax but it just isn’t going to be Minnesota.
November 26th, 2021 at 8:15 PM ^
After we win tomorrow I’ll be the one swimming in #18 pond
November 26th, 2021 at 8:16 PM ^
After we win tomorrow we’re going to Diamond Jim Brady’s for dinner and the StAEE game before hockey.
November 26th, 2021 at 8:23 PM ^
Of course, I'd love to go to the playoffs or win a national title. But, there will be no game bigger this year in my mind other than tomorrow's game against OSU. Beat them and I could not care any less about who we play after that.
November 26th, 2021 at 10:22 PM ^
I prefer Iowa over Wisconsin for the simple fact that we already played and beat Wisconsin. Plus, I like the matchup. Now, beat Ohio State!
November 27th, 2021 at 5:53 AM ^
If we win I could care less about any other game after. Get our asses waxed in the big championship, doesn’t matter. Actually that’s taking it a little far. Win this game and it’s a mic drop moment. When I was attending games in the 90’s thoughts like this were never a concern. Oh how I hope OSU gets to experience the hell we all have.
November 27th, 2021 at 9:15 AM ^
I think Iowa's the better matchup for Michigan. They seem to live off of opponents' turnovers and special teams mistakes, both of which UM is fantastic at avoiding. Plus, Iowa's QB is a statue, giving Hutchinson and Ojabo a chance to shine on prime time national TV.
