And comments like his tweet. "Mark my words that will be Harbaugh's least talented team in AA. What he did in 2015 was amazing". That is a fun comment from a guy who gets football and it drives Buckeyes nuts. They don't understand he has a job that requires credibility. They only see it as traitorous.

Florida by S&P+ and FEI

Offense #56 - #60

Defense #6 - #6

 

Tennessee by S&P+ and FEI

Offense #42 - #22

Defense #18 - #50

 

Sure, maybe Tennessee had a slightly better offense than Florida, but certainly not a better defense.  We all saw what Michigan did to a top 10 defense on NYD - what would they have done to a middling defense in the same game?

Perhaps it was the events of earlier today, but Tennessee fans were and still are giving Kirk rather a lot of flack for those tweets. I believe he's right though - last year's team was probably the least talented that Harbaugh will have and I really would love to see us play Tennessee at some point if only to show them in person what is being discussed here.

I made that mistake. OSU and MSU fans, of course, could not resist chiming in. They are, of course (again), saying MSU and OSU will still crush Michigan this year. OSU is a toss up game but we will 100% beat MSU in October.

Gary for msu? Their good o-linemen are in the draft! We are gonna have a party in their running backs and qbs faces! No Conklin or Allen = no problem with them. And whos gonna catch the ball? or should i say drop the ball. Theyre gonna have to rely on a good running back with no blocking... rip. MSU will have one hell of a defense although that obviously wont be enough against us because our D will be even better.

This would be a really good game. Dobbs is a problem. He runs very very well and he can throw. Jalen Hurd is my favorite RB in the SEC that I cover. I've seen him and Henry in person and I like Hurd better.

They also have a really good pass rusher that is coming back next year in Derek Barnett who had 10 sacks/12.5 TFL last year.

Michigan is deeper across the board but at QB, RB and pass rusher Tennessee has the advantage. 

Former Michigan commit Darrin Kirkland also had a pretty good freshman season.

Agreed, people saying Michigan would whoop Tennessee are nuts. I enjoyed the Florida game as much as anyone, we destroyed a legitimate defense. But, Florida's offense/weapons don't come close to what the Vols have. Hurd is an absolute monster. There's actually a very good chance we see them in a New Years Six bowl, hopefully Final Four next year.

I'll always hate the fact that 2001 was the year we drew them for a bowl game. I remember cursing when that matchup was announced. Any other year, I would have been like, "Bring them on. But not this year." The following year, I remember watching with other Michigan fans on rivals.com, Tennessee get destroyed in their bowl game by mighty Maryland and we were all like, "why the hell couldn't we have played THIS Vol team?" Oh well. Until we can even things up, Woodson got the Heisman over Manning, the big house is still bigger and Rocky Top is still the most obnoxious hillbilly song I've ever heard.

These SEC clowns are such pussies. Everyone in the nation can see them shaking in their panties. All this sec complaining just makes me smile. And I am sure Herby doesn't like Michigan but he respects them, which is how real professionals/smart people react. Last years team will be his "worst" team but they were a freaking good team. Let's get this sec showdown going, expect more games like that Florida curb stomp. By the way, that game is still on my DVR and I just watched it again 2 weeks ago. Just as satisfying.

Herbie once again misses the point (or it went above his head). Harbaugh isn't telling Butch to practice harder. He's not saying UT isn't a good team. He's specifically calling out IT's rape culture. Period. This is not something that should be settled on the field, but in a court of law for UT players, coaches and administration. It's not a joke.

"One Tennessee fan commented that Harbaugh is currently cringing in fear."

I'm cringing, too, but for an entirely different reason.
