Bold-Ass Predictions

As I'm sure most you that live in the Metro Detroit listen to 97.1 The Ticket as its pretty much the only all sports talk station now after the sad departure of most of 1130. But to those that listen to Karsch and Anderson you know about there bold ass predictions they do before the start of seasons and think it would be fun if we did one.

So heres mine:

Brandono Minor scores 23 touchdowns and has 1800 yards.

EDIT: For those of you who don't know how to interpret things, a bold-ass prediction means something that is beyond what is expected. So don't get all serious when you say my prediction isn't realistic, thats the point!

No. Minor will probably have around 1200, maybe 1300. We might have 1800 as a team. Minor probably isn't going to average 2 TDs a game either. Maybe he'll get like 16-18.

Way to take the air out of a legit OP.... even if you disagree with his "bold" and "hopeful" prediction, jrt336, at least offer one up of your own?

Here's mine: Stevie Brown leads the team in sacks and tackles. Graham draws too many double teams this year... but it opens up for Brown to become a monster on the strong side. HIs coverage skills(not the ones down field!) give him multiple tackles in the flat

I think that's why it's a "Bold-Ass" prediction. Also, we finished last season with 1771 rushing yards. So, I guess you're not looking for much improvement on that? Here's my go: 2600-2700 rushing yards as a team to lead the Big Ten. Tate completes 62% of his passes.

Those predictions (2600 yards rushing/62% completion rate for Tate) are actually pretty realistic for 2009. That is only 200 yards rushing per game (assuming we play 13) and I feel confident that UM will get pretty close to that figure and possibly exceed it. Tate is a much better passer than TP who average over 60% last year for OSU, so I think he has a good shot at 62% in 2009.

Bold-ass predictions for those two categories would be more like 3300 yards rushing and 70% completion rate for Tate.

We ARE Michigan....COME GET SOME!!!

If that's all we have then Tate must be passing like crazy or we are in serious trouble. I expect that the team will be over 2400 but, I don't see Minor getting 1800 since RR likes to spread it around.

I'm hoping that Donovan Warren stays not only because I think he could be a lockdown type corner with another year of experience and I think he'd go higher in the draft. I think he'd go higher because I expect teams to throw a fair bit against us simply because our secondary is weak and thin (not that our D-line is the greatest ever, but it is better) so Warren won't look as good this year due to the rest of the team.

We'll see though.

Seriously though, I think that CMU has a very legit shot of beating MSU. I think Dan LeFeavour is a very good QB (who here wouldn't have stolen him last year?) and State lost a lot of offense.

The only bad thing about MSU losing to CMU is that it makes the B10 look bad and the conference needs all the good PR is can get.
