I think most pundits had you guys anywhere from 6 on the low end and 9 on the high end with most in the 8-4 range right?

 

Great year.  Great job by Hoke and his staff.

To the OP - I commend thee for thy consistent gentlemanliness. It's not lost on us a bit.

But we're coming for your asses next year - can't wait until we feast on your freshman QB.  In Ann Arbor.  Under The Lights. 

Be afraid. Very, very afraid or what awaits you. 

And good season to you, too.  Didn't think you had the team to go 10-2.

Small correction though. We will have a first year starting QB, but he will be a redshirt junior.  We expect big things from Andrew Maxwell.

Hope both teams are undefeated when they meet.

I think the predictions ran the gambit from Drew Sharp's "UM will burn in hell b/c they OMG sux" to the occasional Irrational Board Poster/RichRod predicting "OMG 10 WINSS!!!"  And yes most were in the 7-8 win range, with a small possiblity at 9.  Who knew that Irrational Board Poster and RichRod would have been correct?  Certainly not me.  It's kind of funny that there is a possibility that the B1G sends two team to the BCS, and they're both from the state of Michigan.  Who would have predicted that?

Congrats to you guys too, I guess. I don't personally like your coach at all, but he's done a great job of playing moneyball with the talent that's available to him. Michigan State has lost 2 B1G games in the last 2 years, beating Wisconsin twice. That's pretty crazy.

I for one don't think that it's too backhanded to say that this team has exceeded most people's expectations. 10-2? With wins over Ohio State and Nebraska? I didn't really see that coming before the start of the season.

I actually love the football in the state of michigan right now! There is an opportunity that both major colleges reach BCS bowls! That is good for the people here, who have struggled so much with the crappy economy, to take their mind off of real life for a little bit.

Wisconsin is a tough team, more so now because of how difficult it is to beat a team twice in the same season, but I kind of hope that things work out for the better.

Both teams had great seasons.

And I'm not returning the compliment since your team and its fans are generally a bunch of classless punks.  Even Kirk Cousins runs off the field with his four fingers raised in the faces of the opponent.  How many M senior classes pulled off the feat of never losing to MSU, yet never said squat?
