And let the season commence!
Hey, THE_KNOWLEDGE, would you ever consider taking one of your minions with you in to the future?
September 2nd, 2016 at 1:42 PM ^
Welcome back, Comrade! I look forward to centrally planning our championship season.
August 31st, 2016 at 5:04 PM ^
Hot damn.
I mean, where can I get some? I love drinking that shit.
August 31st, 2016 at 5:05 PM ^
yes.
August 31st, 2016 at 5:07 PM ^
these things, but I have a feeling THE_KNOWLEDGE is just trying to spare the feelings of the annoying poster that *really* set off spatio-temporal anomaly by posting right before the OSU game something along the lines of: "Hey you guys, did you notice the THE_KNOWLEDGE is exactly spot on about this year so far?"
Dudes. This year, when THE_KNOWLEDGE is in the 8th inning of a no-hitter, can we please not blow it for him?

THE KNOWLEDGE is easily MGoBlog's most bizarre institution, and also easily one of my favorites. Can't start the new season off right w/o the season review!
August 31st, 2016 at 6:37 PM ^
it's the bizarre thing i cannot explain to my wife and can only grin about with people on the internet i do not know.

YES
I will now paste my prediction email to my brother (sent less than an hour after THE_KNOWLEDGE's post) in this thread:
Time for the annual prediction email. As a reminder, I’ve never been wrong in one of these.
Hawaii – W, 50-0. When asked why he went for two late in the game up 48-0, Harbaugh responds, “I always liked that show, Hawaii 5-0. That Steve McGarrett attacks the day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.”
UCF – W, 47-0. Magnuson makes a brief appearance at QB in the 4th quarter. He hands off twice and then underthrows a wide open Moe Ways by 5 yards.
Colorado – W, 27-6. Michigan gives up their first points of the season. DeVeon goes over 150 yards.
Penn State – W, 24-3. Michigan defensive line overwhelms a mediocre PSU offensive line. Peppers scores thrice as a wildcat QB.
Wisconsin – W, 17-13. Speight does just enough in his first true test at QB.
Rutgers – W, 49-0. It’s a laugher all-right. Rutgers is bad at the football. Shane Morris throws for 3 TDs in the 2nd half during garbage time. Michigan fans scratch their collective head and wonder, where was that? Harbaugh truly is a QB whisperer.
Illinois – W, 31-13. Dawauane Wyade Smoot knocks out Sp8. O’Korn comes in and performs admirably setting up the first ever 5-way QB controversy prior to the MSU game (Speight, O’Korn, Morris, Peppers, and Magnuson.)
MSU – 2/3W, M 21 2/3, MSU 21 1/3. Michigan may or may not win this game.
Maryland – W, 31-0. Harbaugh destroys former protégé Durkin and shuts out Maryland. Michigan either rebounds nicely or keeps rolling.
Iowa – 1/3W, M 21 1/3, Iowa 21 2/3. Michigan may or may not win this game.
Indiana – W, 47-23, Indiana has some offense but no defense. It’s a game for a half. Then our O-line takes over in the 2nd half.
Ohio State – 2/3W, M 21 2/3, OSU 21 1/3. The Team The Team beats the QB, the QB and the Team loses to the QB.
B1G championship game – M does or does not get revenge against Iowa, and does so in convincing fashion, 31-13, allowing them to jump back into the top 4.
Playoff Semifinals – W, 38-0 over Bama and Saban. Harbaugh can’t pass up the opportunity to reverse the score on Saban and teaches Dontanio something about respect in the process.
Finals – W, 24-17, Don Brown’s defense throttles the greatest spread QB since Vince Young, beating Clemson for all the marbles. Sp8 joins Trent Dilfer and Craig Krenzel on the Mount Rushmore of unlikely Championship winning QBs.
Final record – 14-1, B1G and National champions.
It’s unrealistic to think that we’ll win all three tough road games, but which one do we lose? MSU always plays above their heads against us. Do they have enough talent this year? At Iowa is always a tough trip. OSU has a great QB and a lot of youth. If we lose to OSU, can we still get in the national playoffs if that’s our only loss? I think we fall out of the top 4 in that situation, but a dominating performance in the B1G championship game moves us back in. So much depends on Sp8 and the LBs.
I don’t know though, if you look at what Michigan will have to do to win a national championship from now on – beat OSU, beat the West Champion, and then beat 2 of the top 4 teams in the country. Those are some long odds even if we’re one of the top teams, but someone has to win it. Why not us? I mean, really, who’s got it better than us?

Clearly we're destined to be undefeated per THE_KNOWLEDGE. Time to email your brother with an amended "prediction" or you might upset the temporal continuum.
August 31st, 2016 at 9:58 PM ^
August 31st, 2016 at 10:42 PM ^
can one be negged for pessimistically predicting a 14-1 record and a National Championship. My bad. I'll do better next time.
September 1st, 2016 at 8:15 AM ^
I'm sure on Alabama blogs you're simply banned for predicting 14-1.
September 1st, 2016 at 9:58 AM ^
you're assuming they know how to read and write.
August 31st, 2016 at 6:34 PM ^
Love it!

Yes

August 31st, 2016 at 6:47 PM ^
with THE KNOWLEDGE!
August 31st, 2016 at 7:24 PM ^
Yea, truly, the season hast now begun.
August 31st, 2016 at 7:48 PM ^
bismillah ir rahman ir rahim, let there be football at last.
August 31st, 2016 at 11:03 PM ^
Man I was getting more and more excited as I read this post and learned what happened this season.
September 1st, 2016 at 12:17 AM ^

or Yay

as they say about our good chaps.
September 1st, 2016 at 7:58 AM ^
This is one of my favorite posts of the year. The season is upon us!

Commence!
September 1st, 2016 at 3:26 PM ^
You're all sycophantic sheep. A twelve year old could write this stuff, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a 12 year old (WD?) who took over after the original haloscan THE KNOWLEDGE left.
I'm consistently surprised by how what may agruably be the smartest and wittiest sports blog community around consistently eats this up and begs for more.
This stuff makes Happy Gilmore look like a comedic masterpiece.

what took you so long?
September 1st, 2016 at 9:21 PM ^
Thank goodness. I was getting worried. Now I know how the season will go.
