The Game -weather

I see what you did there! Go Blue! Can't wait till Saturday!

Here's a crazy idea: Stroud can throw effectively in cold weather. He did last year several times. It could be that JJ would benefit more from warmer temperatures.
November 20th, 2022 at 11:00 AM ^
Good weather with warmed up pass rush and jj sounds just fine. Cold and wet weather with a hampered cj stroud sounds just fine. What other weather excuses will osu have when they lose?

This is a "smart insight" thread winning comment.
Now if it's fifty and rainy in may effect Stroud and be advantageous for us.

all I know is mgoweather’s normally diary is going to have the most upvotes of all time if the weather is favorable to the good guys.
November 20th, 2022 at 10:47 AM ^
Doesn't matter and bad weather also can lead easily to injuries either way that do not help either team going forward as B10 reps. Evidenced by M's MIA's this week.
November 20th, 2022 at 10:51 AM ^
Weather will be irrelevant.
November 20th, 2022 at 10:55 AM ^
I’m totally happy with this. We are the better team. I don’t see any way they can stop our offense if weather is not an issue.
Yes, I know they suck in bad weather. Let’s listen to them complain that they couldn’t beat us due to the mild breeze

However, they do have the "flu card" they can try playing again. Watching near the end of the OSU-MD game I found it interesting that one of the announcers said that it was clear that the OSU locker room before The Game last year was dealing with lots of influenza. The other announcer didn't seem interested in this take.

You aren’t getting to be the starting QB of Michigan or OSU if you have trouble playing in colder weather. I think the only net-positive weather-wise would be if it got wet, which might limit the breaking ability of their receiving core and impact Strouds ability to deliver on-time/with velocity/accuracy.

I always find it odd that the temperatures in Columbus are pretty significantly warmer, and the weather is more subdued, than Ann Arbor even though it's only 190 miles to the south. It's not THAT far south. Micro climates...
November 20th, 2022 at 11:33 AM ^
It so pretty crazy even when compared to places relatively closer like canton or Cleveland. My wife is from Buffalo and while it’s only a 5 hour drive it’s like being in Florida down here lol.
you are right though lots of times I’d leave Columbus and it’s warm but when I get to AA it’s windy and freezing.
November 20th, 2022 at 12:01 PM ^
The gates of hell are in Columbus, so of course it's warmer there.
November 20th, 2022 at 11:08 AM ^
Herbstreit must be giddy.
Remember he said ohio needs good weather to beat Michigan.
November 20th, 2022 at 3:35 PM ^
Nah he was probably hoping he'd be able to use the same excuse again for his favorite team losing their biggest game.
November 20th, 2022 at 11:11 AM ^
With all of this obsession over the weather I'm expecting sustained winds of 50 mph, icy rain, and Stroud will throw for 500 yards.
November 20th, 2022 at 11:19 AM ^
I’m more concerned about Blake’s status. We need him badly, even if it’s not 100%
November 20th, 2022 at 1:51 PM ^
No more than Morris on D
November 20th, 2022 at 11:25 AM ^
The weather will be less important than the refereeing crew.
November 20th, 2022 at 11:40 AM ^
It's a bit embarrassing that we're hoping for bad weather against OSU. Wouldn't you rather we beat them in normal weather and not rely on bad weather to help us out?
November 20th, 2022 at 12:01 PM ^
I want whatever is most conducive to UM winning the rivalry game. I'd have no problem with referring to UM as the all-weather BigTen champions. But hey, you do you.
November 20th, 2022 at 1:50 PM ^
Again with weather lol … seems Stroud did well enough to throw for almost 400 and two TDs and no Int… yes his receivers made some all time great catches but he put the ball there … with JJs problems this year throwing do we really want want bad weather and winds ? … get in Strouds face constantly that’s what will win us the game !!!
November 20th, 2022 at 3:30 PM ^
Wind?
