A brilliant, sunny Go Blue morning here in northwest Ohio. High fived a couple fellow MICH fans that I saw at the park on my somewhat chilly morning run. And Go Blue'd the one OSU fan I saw. But, he wasnt running, was kinda overweight and I think he had been in th park all night. Hey-O!
Iowa is soooooo done like dinner in a few hours
Otherwise, I need a best bet or two for the day, so let me hear them
Best bet? That the chubby buckeye will be eating donuts within the hour......
I'm off to the gym for a pre-game workout proudly wearing my "Michigan Alumni" sweatshirt for my fellow Ohionians viewing pleasure.
Best bet? That the chubby buckeye will be eating donuts within the hour......
Dude there are even a few MICH fans who have weight problems. Not cool brah.
in my eyes, anyone who is wearing Michigan gear is in tremendous shape
well when you look at it that way, I;m in damn good shape.
Did you really just join the board to make a stand for political correctness? If so - Bravo sir cause i had NO idea that some Michigan fans had weight issues until you pointed it out. Everyone in Section 3 are toned hardbodies it seems.
I agree, the only reason the student section shows up so late to the game is because the showers in the gym are so crowded after our collective morning workout.....jk 12 ounce curls don't make us sweat that bad
Despite the 39 degree chill in the downriver area of Metro Detroit, the "M" flag is up, and I did it in maize and blue pajama pants and my alumni association T-shirt.
Was it uphill both ways to/from the flagpole?
....only because I need to get the drive repaved in the spring.
dang, an M tattoo on your "flagpole?" Now THAT must have hurt.
The problem is finding someone of low moral caliber to perform the procedure. Other than that, smooth sailing.
Wakey Wakey it's gameday baby! Getting ready to go dawn the gameday apparel, and put up the flag!
have had all that done before don.
:)
I see what you did there... :p
Best Bet - Wisconsin -26 over Purdue
yep, thats a good one. I also like Stanford -21 and Houston -28.
-4 at Iowa. Almost ready to BKF it.
How about SEC Dominance Hyperbole (-20.5)?
Does that take into account the standard Oversigning Multiplier as well?
time to put on my now lucky michigan shirt which ive worn for every game since the notre dame utl game
Best bet? That these sores on my weenus arn't just going to go away like i've hoped
Too much fun at Rick's? That'll always get ya.
Elbow sores are the worst! Good thing there aren't any nerve endings there.

How is Urban Meyer still in Alabama for Gameday? He should probably be on the plane to Iowa City
based on that thread showing our announcers, Urban Meyer isn't going to Iowa City, so that shouldn't be a big issue.
Dave Pasch and Spielman are calling it without him.
Sorry bout that! Didn't read that post. Thanks for lettin' me know!
SportsCenter see the man cave in Urban Meyer's house? First of all, that room looks incredible. Second of all, he has a big picture of Bo Schembechler hanging up.
Didn't see the one of Bo, but I did see one of Woody. OSU fanbase is most likely going to take that as a sign that he is their man.
Please don't tell me Spielman is calling the game
i won't tell you that
a lot of the other douches they have. Do you dislike Herby too? I don't care if they're from Ohio...I think they're both pretty darned good.
were you not watching the MSU game with Spielman talking about how great a disciplinarian Dantonio is while Tom Gholston tried to break Denard's neck?
But I am still nervous as hell. Got on my 20 year old Michigan Sweatshirt on that I bought from Steve and Barry's, still comfortable but it has shrunk quite a bit around my belly. Damn Dryer!
My man cave dojo is ready to roll.
Best bet, Stevie WIlliams hires a psychiatrist!
Another good bet is Oklahoma State -21 over Kansas State. Kansas State only has one loss, but it was by 41 points at home against Oklahoma last week. Kansas State will not be able to stay within 3 tds on the road in a night game against a pumped up Oklahoma State.
if you beat Iowa, I just might enjoy the Alabama-LSU game tonight a little bit more. Just sayin' #HALOL
It's been since 2008 since I've missed one live, so I don't remember. I'm gonna go ahead and say yes
Sneak off once in a while. It's just a nephew...
If you can find yourself near technology, all may not be lost. If we're talking about someone significantly younger than you and perhaps not quite into football, there is never a better birthday gift than watching Michigan win (hopefully) as it happens.
DURING THE NOTRE DAME GAME? Priorities, man! Set that family straight!
them not watching sports, even going camping during UTL. But if it was me, I'd make it VERY CLEAR that I was not going to be joining anyone on a camping trip when Michigan was playing Notre Dame.
....but I do the same thing - I set the rules, as strange as they seem to my wife, who is not a sports person like the rest of her family. My family is full of Michigan (and other B1G) alumni and these are huge events. I was painting trim at 6 AM this morning so I wouldn't have to do it at, say, noon.
So you painted trim at 6AM and then went put the "M" flag is up in maize and blue pajama pants and my alumni association T-shirt? Busy morning.
Redecorating only comes before football in the temporal sense.
My sister married that night. Needless to say we were glued to the phones disappointingly for the reception. The entire family made it to the bar for the start of the second half. I have never had for fun being blitzed with my dad and grandma. Best game.
from my junior year at Central got married that night too. He is a Notre Dame fan. As for me, I went to the game. And boy did I let him hear about it.
I know a guy who can help you out with your family problems ... it isn't cheap, but you won't have to worry about missing games anymore.
My wife tells everyone that nothing is to be scheduled during football season. Her family all knows how it is and understands now. Admittedly they all think I'm crazy, but I'm cool with that.
No brainer!!!!
For the sake of your nephew, give in to your urge before the dt's set in. No kid should have to witness that, especially on his birthday. You'd be doing him, your wife, and yourself a favor.
IMO missing one for a nephew's birthday party is most definitely not normal... but maybe that's why my family complains about me. If it were me I would drop on M t-shirt on the kid and catch the game...at 3 he has no idea what you are doing and everyone else can take a hike.
the ESPN story about the tornado that hit Alabama? They are interviewing Bama long snapper Carson (?) Tinker.
Say what you will about ESPN, but their feature stories are outstanding.
Interviewing les miles about hats is making me tear up.
Iowa is dead? Morning pregame open thread? Sorry, I'm still in bed. Hopefully megangoblue can...
Oh well, on to making nacho dip.
how does megangoblue feel about your avatar? A little risque, eh?
She's actually just upset that I couldn't manage to upload her Fox and the Hound avatar. Damn malware...although now I guess it's back up, so maybe I'll get that done today.
best bet?
Why was I not told of this?
Ron Zook is using the bye week to fine tune his strategic punting chart. He's thinking things are risky at the 35 yard line. Watching Ferentz closely today for good punting tips.
It was always my understanding that Ron Zook checked the barometer and played a round of Boggle before deciding which punt play to use.
No bias..Michigan -4.5 and Arkansas -5 vs SCarolina is my two for the day
Just got a call from where I work back in Iowa. Couple of the guys wanted to make bets on this game. MICH wins- they work till close next Saturday. IOWA wins- I work... I accepted and it better not come back to bite me in the butt because I'm at college 8 hours away.
Glad to report that there are no snowstorms dumping a foot of snow in South-Central PA this fine Saturday morning. What a difference a week makes!
Also, kudos to York, PA for sending a crew to clean up my completely destroyed tree, and without my even needing to ask! I guess this is civilization after all!
Time to feast on some hawkeye...
I like Northwestern (+17.5) to cover against Nebraska.
Book it.
I love the Toledo Metroparks. They're the best parks I've ever seen. As for best bets I agree with a few above.
Arkansas -5 at home over South Carolina and Oklahoma State -21 at home over Kansas State.
I'm also thinking Baylor -2.5 over Mizzou. Baylor has one of the best offenses and one of the worst defenses. Mizzou has average of both (leaning a little to offensive side). I trust Baylor a little since they're at home.
The safer play is Baylor/Mizzou Over 73 points. The only 1-A game they've played that was under 73 points was at Kansas State and it was a total of 71. They've had more games (3) in the 80s than games (2) in the 70s plus one game that had a total of 98 points.
No doubt this was the same feeling in the UM locker room just prior to our games in West Lafayette in '76 and in Minneapolis in '77. We were ranked #1 both times and all true UM fans knew there was no way the Boilers and the Gophers were going to put up any kind of fight. Those games were in the bag.
Does anyone have that video of the camp where Devin worked out as a WR? I was telling some friends that I expect a Denard to Devin touchdown before the season ends, and now I want to watch that film.
Got out of some nonsense event with the wife, all primed. Lucky shirt on, beers in the fridge. About 10 people 'Go Blue!''d me this week on the streets (Montreal, doesn't happen that much), so must be something up.
Feel this is absolutely the most important game of the year...until next week of course. Let's surge into the stretch run with a win lads!
Barnum not on travel roster. Neither is Ash or MRob.
They need to stop calling Tuscalosa "T-Town" - it sounds dumb, and makes it sound far more happening than it is.
Anyone just see the few clips they showed on College Gameday of our boys warming up? Looks like there's more of the yellow stripe on the back (similar to last year) than the Northwestern away jerseys...
I just missed a hoss 10 point...so Michigan better win or my day is toast...
Jamiemac guaranteed a victory over a dead team.
