This reminds me of the scene in Fargo when they are talking to the guy in his driveway: 

Then he calls me a jerk and says the last guy who thought he was a jerk is dead now. So, I don't say nothin'. He says, 'What do ya think about that?' And I says, 'Well, that don't sound like too good a deal for him, then.'

I mean, let's be honest with ourselves - I think we knew this was going to be the punditry of some, right?

Around 7 PM on Saturday, hopefully Steele, Luginbill and others are enjoying their wrongness.

... For pundits. If they pick Florida, they can either look like geniuses or fallback on the excuse that Florida's suspensions were too much to overcome. If they pick michigan it would either be the safe bet (if michigan wins) or they'll look really stupid if we lose. The upside on picking the gators for them is greater while the downside has a built in excuse.

Florida has a chance to win because the players will be confused. The crowd will be chanting, "Go Blue," and Florida players will think the crowd means them. Our guys will wonder, but then they'll look down and see their yellow jerseys, and figure, yeah, the crowd's cheering for Florida. Then they might be all bummed and depressed. This is why Michigan should never wear alternate away jerseys.

the over confident fans everywhere with this game. should we win, yes, but is it a cake walk, no. I've heard some saying backups will get game time. This over confidence from fans is why coaches get canned. This is a talented team still and we're young and untested in a lot of positions.

expect to much from some coaches. Fox was going on about great coaches make champions in year 3,Harbaugh has to or he's not great. Like really? He is still using Hokes QB, some players. Urban was handed Tressels team. Clueless fans hear this and expect Harbaugh to give us a championship now, if not he's a failure, they'd call for him. Look at Beilein, they wanted they guy fired 7 months ago and were calling him a god in march.

We should probably care less about what analysts have to say considering they don't even know our 2 deep and form our own opinions based on what we see on the field. Haters goin hate - let Finebum (intentional) and other "experts" do their job and let our team do theirs. Getting worked up over predictions not in our favor is a little silly.

I could care less what Luginbill says.  I would say it's motivation to get clicks as motivation, but he's probably one of the few untouchable guys at ESPN so I doubt that's it.  Quick look to any layman would say that statement is false, as you have arguably the best receiver class in recent recruiting memory.  When Luginbill talks about talent he should understand this as well as anybody, considering that's his job, and he swung and miss.  Then on the D line we have the top overall, consensus nonetheless, recruit from a few years ago in Rashan Gary, which again he should understand given his job, and he's done nothing to disappoint, and then one of the top, if not the top DT in the country, based on his colleagues evals, Mo Hurst.  Good analysis Tom.  But he's probably smart enough to realize that when we kill Florida on Saturday, there will be a boatload of replies to his comment, adding to his social persona and future contracts. If he's correct, he'll look like a genius compared to what everyone else is predicting.  If he's wrong, he's just like any other analyst.  Good poker face Tommy.

Luginball said last year we were young and a "year away." He said we were like Tennessee, fucking Tennessee in 2015. As in the 2015 Tennessee team that was worse than Michigan

In 36 hours we will have actual game film with the people who will actually play for their teams to review, and we can stop caring about all this "returning production" and who is "talented across the board" bull crap.

and I work with a lot of delusional Gator fans, and a few reasonable ones. The reasonable folks realize 10 players are suspended, etc., and are disappointed the teams couldn't play with full rosters. Also acknowleding the selfishness of those disciplined. 

I just laugh at the delusional guys.

“I think they’re too talented across the board [at credit card fraud]. I think they’re deep [into other people's pockets] and they are athletic and regardless of what happens at quarterback they’re going to have a plan with whoever is in there [by stealing his credit card]."
