What does U Conn bowl win say about Mich.
U Conn. beats Oklahoma in their bowl and they will be celebrated as an up and coming team with a hot coach. While Michigan who handled them pretty easily has their coach fired. Guess if we were in the big east we would be undefeated. Maybe a healthy Denard like we had against them will make all the difference in our game.
December 22nd, 2010 at 7:51 AM ^
Let's be real UConn is going to lose to Oklahoma and it's going to be ugly. This is the same team who lost to Temple right after they played us.
December 22nd, 2010 at 7:54 AM ^
If your that certain of course you have money on it. I mean it would be kind of stupid not to bet on a sure thing.
December 22nd, 2010 at 8:21 AM ^
you don't bet.
Is that possible?
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:46 AM ^
Good answer, i mean who wants free money?
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:04 PM ^
Oh that's right..."betting" is the same thing as "free money." I can't believe I'm a sap who thought I needed to work all these years!
December 23rd, 2010 at 10:11 AM ^
Said it was a sure thing, its called reading try it.
December 22nd, 2010 at 8:56 AM ^
I put money down it. So, yes it must be a sure thing...
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:13 AM ^
It's like a 17 point spread (I think). I don't even want to know what the moneyline looks like for that..... -1000? Is the moneyline even an option?
Of course you could bet on OU and the spread - but that sort of defeats the whole "OU has no chance of losing this game" because it then becomes "OU has no chance of winning by less than 18".
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:28 AM ^
There is not one ounce of my being that doesnt believe OU wins the game and wins convinciningly. 17 points is still a boatload of points to give though. I personally am putting all my eggs on Wiscy +3 and the under that I got early at 58.5.
December 22nd, 2010 at 11:11 AM ^
It doesn't matter what the money line is. If Oklahoma winning is a sure thing, then you should bet the money line on it. Even if it's -1000, which it isn't going to be, free money is free money.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:35 AM ^
Oklahoma is gonna win this game by at least 3 touchdowns.. They stop toddman, they stop Uconn's offense.. Frazier is awful, he is probably one of the worst D1 QB's i have seen throw a ball this year. Yes, i have watched several of their games and he has done nothing to show he is a capable QB..
This is not like when WVU won the big east and played OK, WVU was actually good and had an offense.. Uconn struggles to score more than 2 offensive TD's a game.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:54 AM ^
Tough start on the day for you. A little advice, maybe unless you have you know, something of good substance to say it may just be better to say nothing at all. Maybe you need to spend some time coming off the bench. Your 2 week and 4 day membership status shows me that maybe you just arent ready for the starting line up quite yet.
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:26 AM ^
He should have redshirted
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:29 AM ^
Maybe he will have a suspecting back injury and get that medical redshirt still...
December 22nd, 2010 at 5:41 PM ^
I hate when back injuries get all suspicious and stuff, they should just mind their business.
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:35 AM ^
thinking gray shirted.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:50 PM ^
What about a medical hardship scholarship?
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:52 PM ^
He may never come back from his medical hardship.
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:50 AM ^
Thanks dad, good talk. I've seen some of your posts, man i hope i can live up to those pearls of wisdom. Now do me a favor and make me a sandwich.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 AM ^
but that doesn't mean they will. If they can use their running game to slow this game down and get a few breaks on defense this game becomes interesting.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:27 PM ^
It is not the same team. UCONN went through 3 different qbs and battled injuries and suspensions. They are playing well right now and should able to compete. I do not think they will win, but who thought Boise was going to beat Oklahoma? Anything can happen.
December 22nd, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
Mods why don't you just delet the whole post. I'l sit on the sidelines throw a comment in here or there instead of trying to get a conversation going.
December 24th, 2010 at 4:05 PM ^
... that this thread wasn't started for speculation ... no, nothing like that.
December 22nd, 2010 at 7:53 AM ^
I see UConn getting destroyed by Okie.
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:29 AM ^
December 22nd, 2010 at 7:55 AM ^
I would be among a sizable contingent of folks with Bruno-esque surprised faces if UConn defeats, never mind "handles" Oklahoma. That being said, if they do win, it probably says more about UConn than Michigan. It says that they made a lot of progress from Sept. 4 to now. They did not play like a particularly strong team on that day. Although I could be wrong, I would surmise that they'll have to play like a remarkably good team to come away with a win against the Sooners.
December 22nd, 2010 at 7:56 AM ^
we played them at the very beginning of the season whereas this is the end. A team can grow and mature alot over the course of a season.
December 22nd, 2010 at 8:05 AM ^
Nothing at all. A Michigan win is the only thing that matters. Now what hypothetical conference will we be up against in your next post? Oregon in the Big 10 and now we are going undefeated in the Big East. My request is the new Big 12.
December 22nd, 2010 at 8:24 AM ^
Have not seen any recent posts from you Dennis, guys like you sit on the sideline, add nothing to the board, and throw in your negitive 2 cents any chance you get. Start a post, i'll looking for it today.
December 22nd, 2010 at 8:32 AM ^
It is not a birth right to start a post. Many people here post what ever breaking news is out there with in minutes. You on the other hand post stupid hypotheticals and hits that leave players motionless. So when I see a post from you I click on it just to see what stupid thought is running through your mind. I have yet to be let down.
Now I know you are thinking is it just me? Yes, it is. Many others I respond with a positive two cents and attempt to answer there question. In your race to 100 points try to see how others successfully pull it off. When you do I will respond with an honest answer.
December 22nd, 2010 at 8:38 AM ^
Take the next week off, then quit.
December 22nd, 2010 at 8:46 AM ^
Here my impression of dennis and the other people so concerned about their points....and thats a plus one to you sir.....why thank you and let me upvote you to..... like what you said there let me add a little something to your point total..... well how kind of you.... hey lets all neg the bad man he disagreed with magnus. You neg me -1000 don't really care ( neg what term who the hell came up with that?)
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:06 AM ^
Trying to understand this comment actually hurts.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:25 AM ^
If you imagine the post being spoken by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:23 PM ^
Welcome to Facebook to you too, sir!
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:27 AM ^
What a d-bag you are kind sir. Sitting on the board of Summer's Eve level of d-bag. Happy Holidays.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:32 AM ^
Are you not going to say," plus +1 to you my friend" to one of your buddys? Come on thats what you do on here to keep points.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 AM ^
Just going to call you a d-bag. Given your lack of awareness, seems more appropriate.
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:39 AM ^
You are a bouje (sp?) christmas gift wrapped in jimboblue paper.
Anywhoo...here is a situation for you to ponder. What if Ohio beats Troy? Does Solich become the new head coach for PSU?
December 22nd, 2010 at 5:48 PM ^
No it isn't. If that's what you really believe, then I feel bad for you. Most posters here with decent point totals (myself excluded) post cogent, well thought out theories and responses, that, or they have bikini avatars. And I disagree with Magnus all the frickin time, we have had several e-slapfights, I'm doing ok...
December 22nd, 2010 at 6:13 PM ^
Then explain how I jumped up so high so quickly. Considering I've only been posting here for about a week now. Nobody here really knows me yet. So you really can't say I've got any "buddies" to back me up.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:31 AM ^
is a one-way ticket to BOLIVIA!!
December 22nd, 2010 at 11:06 AM ^
What's the matta? CIA got you pushing too many pencils?
December 22nd, 2010 at 3:00 PM ^
While you were having a melt down I had to do some work. I have never gone after some one else's thread in this manner ever. Your thread by itself is no different from a 100 others, the reason I was negative was your previous comments in another thread that you had started.
You are right I am not going to start a thread because I don't have anything to add that needs that much attention. I reply to others and normally not the way I have to you. I know none of this well make sense to you but just wanted others to know I am typically not that big of a dick. Merry Christmas and a +1 to you jimbobblue
December 22nd, 2010 at 5:21 PM ^
Dennis, i have a new found respect for you, i have never had a thin skin, so don't worry about any of the comments. Merry Chritmas.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:10 AM ^
jeez, I clicked on this thinking UConn must have just beaten Oklahoma.....not really paying attenttion to other bowl games.
but jim you are SO RIGHT. negative snipers like Dennis contribute to the BS that concerns recruits........cant imagine that he has enough original thought to start a post on something that is not just whining.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:49 AM ^
Starting a thread doesn't make one a good contributor. In fact, most of the threads started in the past few weeks (including this one) are stupid and are a waste of time and space.
I would argue that Dennis NOT starting a thread contributes more to this board than this crap.
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:10 AM ^
There it is, damn what took so long ? was waiting for one of the Mgoblog clique to come running to defend dennis. what time did you get the text that dennis was in trouble? Meeting at the usual spot tonight at 8. Code word to get in "I can't think for myself".
