Here is why we get back to our winning ways on Saturday
I switched from Direct TV to Charter earlier in the season. They installed some piece of crap MOXI box and it has been trouble with the football team ever since. And wow is Charter a huge step back from Direct TV. Horrible. Well today I came home to a wonderful surprise. My wife switched our service back to Direct TV. It is glorious indeed. Good times are definitely ahead! I anticipate a convincing victory on Saturday.

were you using direcTV last season? if so I am not so confident...

The real reason is I can only afford to sacrifice 6-7 fat Ann Arbor squirrels per season before someone catches on to me so I had to space out the wins, my bad.
Also, the one I caught for MSU bit me and ran off at the last minute.

Lol, you seriously might not be joking. The other day, I tripped and fell near the diag, and my hand literally came down within inches of a fat squirrel. It looked at me with a bit of pity at my clumsiness, and went back to eating its bag of Doritos.

I remember seeing a squirrel sitting up tree eating a slice of pizza. I bet he got drunk and picked up a slice at the Backroom.
November 12th, 2009 at 8:41 PM ^
I want to blame these people, but according to that photo the squirrels have been hefty since at least 1913... Tradition!

go blue!

Anyone listen to the moron convention on WTKA today starring Ron from Ann Arbor and that bozo from CFN.scout.com?
November 12th, 2009 at 8:03 PM ^
whatever makes you think positively i guess...personally I prefer going to the games haha

to outscore Wiscy (as we do all our opponents this year) in order to win, But the question I want to throw out there is, how many points can our offense score on the Wiscy defense this weekend? Wiscy has given up an average of almost 22 1/2 points per game this year. I can see M scoring 35 points. This game could end up being another shootout like Purdue. Hopefully this time, the game will end up going our way.

if Michigan is able to at least slow down Jon Clay, Michigan should have a pretty good chance of knocking off Wisky.
Clay has ran for 100+ in all but 4 games. Of the four games under 100, one was the first game of the season so he was splitting carries, one game was against Wofford and only had four carries for 93 yards and the other two under 100 yards were the losses to Ohio State and Iowa.
So basically, Michigan needs to keep Clay under 100 yards.
November 12th, 2009 at 9:19 PM ^
Gotta hand it to Wiscy. They have really molded Clay into a heck of a ball player.
November 12th, 2009 at 11:35 PM ^
how does one win a game without out scoring their opponent pray-tell?
November 12th, 2009 at 9:13 PM ^
Can the D stay in their lanes and not give up huge chunks of yardage against Clay? Obviously they will run the ball, but I bet they won't be afraid to pass on our defense. I bet Ezeh starts.

CHARTER INSTALLED A MOXI BOX?!
So THAT'S where Tate's moxie went during October.
Luckily they gave it back. Win Time!

we had no business beating them last year, but caught a couple of breaks and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Perhaps this Saturday is the reprise.
November 12th, 2009 at 10:15 PM ^
No, the real reason we will beat Wisconsin is because they're sponsored by Adidas. Every Nike sponsored team we played has beat us, but every adidas sponsored team on our schedule was a victory for us.
Guess that means we'll lose to OSU, but maybe their stupid new uniforms will make them an exception to the nike rule.
November 12th, 2009 at 10:19 PM ^
We beat them last year... and that is really saying something.
November 12th, 2009 at 11:38 PM ^
As a former engineer for DirecTV and part of the team that developed the current generation of their set-top-box interface, I am glad to hear that moxi was a step back.

Wings win 3-1 tonite, then the Niners cover. Start of a glorious sports weekend for me including a UM blowout at Camp Randall.
Go Blue!
November 13th, 2009 at 1:11 AM ^
So your wife makes the decisions?
Fag. And what's worse, you brag about it.
November 13th, 2009 at 1:39 AM ^
The BTN has already put on their ticker "Michigan 5 game big ten losing streak" which means that we will break it on Saturday. They also ran "Wisconsin 6-0 when John Clay scores a TD" that means he will score, but they will lose... Finally the ticker Karma is in our favor. It will hold true against OSU as well because of the 5 year streak and the hubris of their "tribute" uniforms.

When we were 4-0, I switched from Crest to Colgate and our season went south. Now, you have inspired me to switch back to Crest. We will definitely win out!
