No thanks. We've seen what the BTN talking heads have to say. I can't imagine ESPN can be much more informed. That's national media, though. It's impossible to be as plugged into teams as local beat writers.
It just doesn't do anything for me.

And that's to say BTN's analysis was pretty laughable.

From every preview of the season I've heard on ESPN so far. Is Jim Harbaugh going to far? Is Michigan going to live up to the hype? Why are people overlooking MSU? Ohio State will win the Big Ten.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:22 PM ^
This is exactly it. I watched College Football Live yesterday. Booger selected MSU to win the conference, David selected OSU, and Desmond (surprise!) selected Michigan.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:48 PM ^
Let me guess, the rationale behind the MSU pick was something like "I just think everyone is overlooking MSU, and that feeds into their culture, and they'll be ready to play and earn that respect they deserve. And please mom forgive me for this embarrassing level of analysis."
August 24th, 2016 at 1:05 PM ^
Chances they even name a player on the team outside of Peppers, Lewis, Butt, and the QBs? Next to zero.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:10 PM ^
They'll say one of their following:
Julius Poppers, Jerry Butt, Jimmy Lewis, Bort O'Korn
August 24th, 2016 at 1:13 PM ^
My fucking grammar is terrible.
/apologeez
August 24th, 2016 at 2:49 PM ^
Bort O'Korn has a really cool license plate on his bicycle
August 24th, 2016 at 1:10 PM ^
I understand it is ESPNU, but I can not get enough content. Sure enough, they kicked off with Michigan and Jim Harbaugh.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:11 PM ^
I seen it last night and I wasn't impressed by it. It's ESPN and they are anti-Harbaugh and anti-Michigan
August 24th, 2016 at 1:15 PM ^
Seen't it.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:19 PM ^
I saw't what you did there.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:16 PM ^
They're not either of those things. They're pro-ratings, and will say whatever gets people to watch. And a big chunk of people are interested in watching both (1) overly positive things about Michigan and (2) overly negative things about Michigan.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:19 PM ^
Pretty sure they are.

Today they were pro Harbaugh and pro Michigan. That said, it is obvious they haven't a clue about the offense suggesting Michigan doesn't have the offense to compete for a title.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:22 PM ^
The first 15 mins were all about Harbaugh/UM. I didn't get the impression it was anti anything. The overall comments at the end were that Harbaugh and UM at their best is good for college football.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:22 PM ^
But can't upvote "seen it". Sorry. English major. It's out of my control.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:17 PM ^
"Play for as long as you can, coach, die." That was great.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:20 PM ^
Play for as long as you can. Coach, and then die. Rinse and repeat.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:20 PM ^
That guy asking if "toe tapper" is a rap term.. I can't.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:21 PM ^
Absolutely clueless about music.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:21 PM ^
Well the first 14 minutes were solely about Harbaugh, with a minute about the new Jordan uniforms.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:21 PM ^
At this point, I'm done with previews. I just want the damn season to commence.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:21 PM ^
David Pollack was a complete dickhead about us. Maybe a bit biased about my team, but jeez it was almost uncalled for
August 24th, 2016 at 1:54 PM ^
Is a dickhead. No more need be said.
August 24th, 2016 at 7:19 PM ^
I could not imagine being in the same room with Pollak for more than 1 minute. He is a complete dick.

He is my least favorite part of college gameday. Rarely insightful and has the personality of a tree.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:21 PM ^
Harbaugh, Harbaugh, Harbaugh...rabble rabble, uniformz.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:22 PM ^
getting me all fired up !!! They acknowledge we have the ability to make the playoff.
Go Blue!

White Castle farts are more insightful than anything said by ESPN talking heads.

Remember when Trevor Matich said that we had to replace both lines and top receivers?
August 24th, 2016 at 1:41 PM ^
I agree with what Harbaugh said about people wanting to see Michigan fail. Way past time to shut those people up.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:41 PM ^
say that OSU was the most talented team in the conference. Both commentators picked Ohio State to win the conference. Seems odd considering OSU only has 6 returning starters out of 22. Computers picked UM to win the conference. I think this is really a product of the fact that most in the media see Meyer > Harbaugh, as the record reflects.
August 24th, 2016 at 3:09 PM ^
The reason OSU is the favorite to win the conference is because that youth should be figured out somewhat after this non-conference games.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:55 PM ^
First 20 minutes were Harbaugh redux from the summer, but it wasn't anti-Michigan. It was just pointless. It went on mute after that. The best piece of info was the FPI projection, which had M at 49% to win the B1G E, OSU at 31%, MSU at 10%, and PSU at 9%.
