I can't start a thread yet but does anyone know who this is signing my buddies kid's flag? No one can place him.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:05 PM ^
I'm thinking Michael Barrett, but I guess you can check the name and/or # that he signed on the flag.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:11 PM ^
Might be Michael Barrett? If you look at his instagram, his beard line is similar and if his hair is a lil shorter then it makes sense with the hat most likely. https://www.instagram.com/mike.mb1/

Looks like Chris Bryant, former OL. He's the Direct of Player Development now.
November 26th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
Yup. Confirmed to be Chris Bryant. Thanks guys.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:54 PM ^
probably why they have thresholds for starting a thread

We win the Transitive Bowl! Hard to see how the Hawkeyes get more than a couple of scores against us.
November 27th, 2023 at 1:17 AM ^
As a Michigan old-timer, it's my job to be concerned about every upcoming game. So I am dutifully concerned about this game.
But sometimes you are just the better team.
November 27th, 2023 at 11:27 AM ^
I am more concerned to come out unscathed than the score.
November 27th, 2023 at 8:14 AM ^
Would basically require JJ to throw 3 picks and if they arent pick sixes, Iowa probably isnt turning 3 picks into more than 13 points
November 26th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
BUT THE STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE!!!!!!
November 26th, 2023 at 10:08 PM ^
This is the worst of the three teams M has faced in the conference title game.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:11 PM ^
Ummm - Iowa 2023 is the worst team to EVER make the BIG title game in any year. Perhaps is the worst team ever to make a Power 5 conference title game.
We had better stomp them, dammit...
November 26th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
There was the one year (2012, I think) when both OSU and PSU were ineligible and Wisconsin got in with a 4-4 conference record.
November 27th, 2023 at 12:15 AM ^
(Pushes up glasses) Georgia Tech made the 2012 ACC title game at 6-6 and needed a waiver to play in a bowl in the event they lost (they did). That is also the team that beat preseason #1 USC in the mysterious “Why is Lane Kiffin wearing sunglasses all day?” Sun Bowl Game in El Paso on NYE.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:14 PM ^
Beat Iowa
November 26th, 2023 at 10:25 PM ^
It won't be easy to beat Iowa because all 13 Big Ten teams will offer them our signs,
November 27th, 2023 at 6:50 AM ^
All the signs will be Corum + Corn= TD.
November 27th, 2023 at 8:15 AM ^
Iowas offensive staff reviewing Minters signs
”….ok. Hand off up the gut it is”
November 26th, 2023 at 10:30 PM ^
Does anyone know if Cooper DeJean is healthy or expected to be for this game? Not that I think Iowa wins either way, but he's the only Iowa player who scares me (other than their punter).
November 26th, 2023 at 10:42 PM ^
No he's done for the year, I think he broke his leg or something like that in practice.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:42 PM ^
Pretty sure he won't be back until the bowl game.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:47 PM ^
Broken fibula, out 6-8 weeks as of 2wks ago. Likely not gonna play.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:38 PM ^
I legit don't know how Iowa won 10 games with this team. Michigan by 30.
November 27th, 2023 at 1:20 AM ^
10 very bad opponents.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:38 PM ^
I’m trying to figure out which of those Iowa games was the dumbest. Because there was futility in pretty much every one. Their games against Minnesota and Nebraska looked like matchups of two teams who didn’t want to win.
I think the game to dissect the most is their game against Penn State, since they are the closest to us of all those teams in terms of talent. I never watched that one.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:52 PM ^
I saw the game from start to finish. Iowa played strong D against PSU. Couldn't move the ball at all. Only 76 net offensive yards.
PSU had 397 but needed 97 plays. Neither ran nor threw the ball well. Lions' rushing stats were padded by 2nd string QB Pribula who came in for mop up duty. The main duo of Singleton/Allen got 121 yards on 38 carries.
Much of the normal Iowa playbook is junked because Deacon Hill isn't athletic enough to roll out. So the outside zone/boot concepts don't work together the way they're supposed to.
November 27th, 2023 at 1:21 AM ^
It was raining too.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:51 PM ^
Welp, that explains why Michigan is a 3 touchdown favorite.
BIG 10 West!!!!
November 26th, 2023 at 10:53 PM ^
Nuff said?
Nuff said
EDIT: THAT said, I fully expect Iowa to pull out some trickeration, like a forward pass on third down or some crazy shit.
November 26th, 2023 at 10:58 PM ^
I really wish Cade was playing, but I'm glad that we won't be facing Erick All.
November 26th, 2023 at 11:40 PM ^
I wanna see Tuttle taking snaps by the middle of the 3Q.
November 27th, 2023 at 12:44 AM ^
I think we get a lot of Orji, and some will be before blowout time.
November 27th, 2023 at 1:14 AM ^
How the hell did they give up 16 points to MSU? A team composed entirely of Lee Corso and Lou Holtz wouldn't give up 16 points to MSU.
November 27th, 2023 at 2:18 AM ^
We are going to see a tough, physical, motivated team one week after the emotional weight of the biggest win in program history. Several guys will sit, injured. It is going to take guts to win.

OSU game was a race to 30.
This game against Iowa will be a race to 14.
If Michigan gets two TDs, I'm not sure how Iowa is scoring more than that without some JJ pick 6s or something crazy like that.
November 27th, 2023 at 3:23 PM ^
If Michigan gets 2 TDs, is JJ even going to throw the ball again?
