Love the positive mojo, my man! We are going to kill Wisconsin!!!
But the asinine pessimist turdbags on this blog are not going to appreciate your enthusiasm.
Pathetic but true. Watch these negative loser comments incoming...
October 2nd, 2021 at 3:10 AM ^
Post made at 2:42am tells me all I need to know. You’re drunk!
October 2nd, 2021 at 3:51 AM ^
Quit drinking and beat Wisconsin...
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:49 AM ^
Only 20-13? He can't be that drunk...
October 2nd, 2021 at 10:42 AM ^
In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, “Oh, please. If I was that drunk, I’d remember it.”
October 2nd, 2021 at 3:50 AM ^
Fuck yes we are.
Go Blue
October 2nd, 2021 at 3:50 AM ^
We should win this game but I wouldn't bet my money on it.
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:38 AM ^
Would you bet your stalker’s money on them?
October 2nd, 2021 at 4:03 AM ^
I’m working third shift tonight so this means I’ll watch the game at 3 pm on my dvr. I really hope that while I’m sweating the game out, y’all will be celebrating a fantastic win!
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:18 AM ^
Well it’s on Fox, so if you start watching at 3, you’ll probably catch up before the game is over.
/s, but very little
October 2nd, 2021 at 4:03 AM ^
Clicked on the thread hoping for a message from THE_KNOWLEDGE. I'm only a little disappointed.
October 2nd, 2021 at 4:26 AM ^
Biff, is that you? Sports gamblers need to know.

The too early snow flake thread.

I hope for a win. With how Wisconsin is playing this year it shouldn't be in doubt. But it is.
Things were going so good in 2015 and 2016. Been all strange since. What happened to Jim Harbaugh from the 2016 Ohio St game? Did all that happened in that game ring his bell so bad as a person that he still hasn't processed it all?
October 2nd, 2021 at 5:57 AM ^
Since the ref screw up on the "he was short", we had some great games. But we had a lot of bad luck with injuries. Lack of QB development and great running back play has been another major factor. We had good running backs but not spectacular in big games. Either OL was mediocre or DL was mediocre. May be it is the recruiting, not sure. But, I would not state it is because of lack of trying. The way some of the OSU games were played, I say Harbaugh prepped them well.
I am careful not to blame the coaches or play calling because I don't know what they see in practice. Under Harbaugh, I do not see us becoming a pass first team. Running the ball is the way he is going to like to play. So, I am actually hopeful for this game, this year and the future, because we are starting to be dominant on that SANS one half. Seth made a good point in the podcast that there were gaps but RB did not utilize them. But edge was not used either. I am hopeful they will establish the run this game even if they stack the box.
I am optimistic but going to be nervous the whole game. But I think the future looks bright and love Hart hire.
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:34 AM ^
Four games into the season the personnel decisions should be well set by the good amount of empirical evidence that has been played out. The coaches are responsible for putting the right players in good position to make plays-the players are responsible to execute. A well-played football game is heavily dependent upon good coaching-I estimate it to be around 75%. But the remaining 25% is where the real difference-making happens on the field of play. It's a complicated game.
In this game, Michigan retains the raw talent edge. I believe this game will be very revealing regarding the future of Michigan football under the direction of Jim Harbaugh.
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:39 AM ^
Jim hasn’t exactly inspired much confidence throughout his tenure when it comes to simply out coaching whoever is across the sidelines. We have seen him out-coached many times, including in many victories.
October 2nd, 2021 at 6:01 AM ^
+1 for the fellow owl who cannot sleep :)
I can see that score. I can also see us losing or win big. It is going to come down to turnovers. I just listened to the podcast and Seth made a point about how this defense is built around getting turnovers. They are close but have not seen it yet.
Well, let us hope that we finally have some lucky bounces, Corum shows up with a big game.
October 2nd, 2021 at 6:45 AM ^
Solid effort, LOL
October 2nd, 2021 at 6:44 AM ^
Not a good one to post - I remember watching that game live and the Wisconsin player was clearly concussed and had no idea what was going on. It was scary for a few minutes.
October 2nd, 2021 at 9:15 AM ^
Yes, and I suppose Anthony Morelli was not thinking clearly after Alan Branch starched him. Let’s get rid of that one too.
October 3rd, 2021 at 5:57 PM ^
First, the difference was that Morelli got laid out by Branch but was otherwise ok. This Wisc player was *not right* andrveryone could see it - IIRC they took him to the hospital not long afterwards.
Second, my point was that this is not good to use for a joke (the image of Branch walking away from a sprawled Morelli is - and I have used it myself).
October 2nd, 2021 at 6:47 AM ^
Removed the comment based on previous comment. Can't laugh at someone if they had an injury.
October 2nd, 2021 at 6:35 AM ^
Go Blue! Play hard, take care of the ball give it and sling Cade. But follow through your throws and we get it done!
October 2nd, 2021 at 6:56 AM ^
I quit drinking and went to bed, woke up to this and now you’ve got me ready to start again! LFG!!!
October 2nd, 2021 at 6:59 AM ^
This could be the M00W variant of M00N at half. And I don’t think due to the total ineptitude of the latter, rather two teams hammering away until something breaks. It’ll be good vs good when M has the ball and questionable vs still learning when W has it.
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:02 AM ^
It’s not bpone it’s matchups. Michigan has a below average d line and they’re awful up the middle. Wisconsin is stout there. Michigan can only run Wisconsin is elite at stopping it. Harbaugh or whoever but they’re going to lose it’s going to be okay.
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:13 AM ^
I hope against hope they come out slinging it today, and that Cade is on. Play action will work even before “establish the run” because that’s what we’ve already done to max for 4 games.
(because I completely agree the matchups of tendency on tendency are bad ones for us)
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:03 AM ^
I'm almost positive this entire blog is a psyop by the CIA and all of you are bots/agents attempting to make me go insane. But you know what? Screw it. We are winning today.
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:49 AM ^
That’s what’s happened to Maizen, PonyConquerer, and many others. Or were they the bots? How deep does this go? What happened to THE KNOWLEDGE? Am I a bot? Oh god….
well shit now I think we might win too.
October 2nd, 2021 at 9:08 AM ^
This is all a simulation and you are all just bots in that sim.
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:03 AM ^
I want so bad for you to be right. I want to eat crow on this one.
Release me from this BPONE torment of mine.
October 2nd, 2021 at 9:10 AM ^
Unfortunately when Michigan does win; BPONE will tell you “Wow Wisconsin REALLY does suck this year. Just wait until M plays team X”. (Lather, rinse, repeat.)
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:40 AM ^
Cinci-ND is gonna be one for the ages.
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:56 AM ^
2:42 AM? Beer-addled exuberance or an actual prognostication? I suppose we shall find out in mere hours now...
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:07 AM ^
Win the game. Have nice things.
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:07 AM ^
I hope your game prediction is more accurate than your prediction about Joe Milton:
October 2nd, 2020 at 11:16 AM ^
I'll take that bet. This site has been way too pessimistic about Milton. He's going to outperform Shea Patterson (at least when it matters most).
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:48 AM ^
Some mistake pointing out facts as being pessimistic.
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:58 AM ^
There's a sizable contingent in any fan base that approaches game predictions as proof of virility and manhood. There's another large segment that treats game predictions as opportunities to express their deep psychic pain of too many past defeats.
A third and apparently much smaller proportion simply make predictions on the basis of who they think will win based on factors specific to each individual game.
October 2nd, 2021 at 11:09 AM ^
I consider myself in the third group. As a fan for over 50 years, I've learned to roll with whatever comes. I find it interesting that someone (me) can be accused of hating the team they root for when, by definition, to root for a team means to show and express support for them.
October 2nd, 2021 at 10:44 AM ^
It is not a mistake if the facts you point to are only negative. Example, the pessimistic crowd disregards the bulk of the first 3.5 games. The optimistic crowd will write off the second half of the Rutgers game. I will personally just keep cheering them on but got a bad feeling about this game.
October 2nd, 2021 at 5:30 PM ^
Well Snazzy was right anyhow.
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:10 AM ^
Game day posbang? I’ll bang to that. Bang, bang.
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:14 AM ^
That’s right!!!! We will win…. I’m thankful for this poster. Finally someone with a positive post about OUR team. I couldn’t imagine if they ever read some of this(stuff)! GO BLUE!!!
October 2nd, 2021 at 10:03 AM ^
"Finally"? Have you been on the blog this week? It's been non-stop chest thumping about how positive "I" am, as "I" moan about how much "they" moan. It feels like the psyop comments are onto something.
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:14 AM ^
If you want to crown them, then crown their ass!!!!
Did we give up after the nazis bombed pearl harbor?
It just doesn't matter! It just doesn't matter!!!!
All right now, I don't want them to gain another yard! You BLITZ ALL NIGHT!!! If they cross the line of scrimmage, I'll take every last one of you out! You make sure they remember FOREVER the night they played the Wolverines!!!
October 2nd, 2021 at 8:23 AM ^
Trolls indeed. Harbaugh doesn’t choke especially on the road. Jish Gattbaugh consistently out schemes opponents.
