Michigan vs. Alabama Open Thread

Submitted by M-Wolverine on September 1st, 2012 at 6:47 PM

OK, all the main afternoon games are decided. Show time. You know what you want to talk about now. Maybe they have a Liveblog set up under the new specs, but we all love an open thread, no? Feel free to talk about the other games of interest on commercial breaks. Let's Go Blue!

Denard, back on the sidelines? Dude's gotten it handed to him tonight. This is why, in spite of the interceptions and the problems passing and often-questionable judgment, I'm still proud to have him lead my team. Here's to hoping he can stay healthy and lead us the rest of the year. Go Blue!

It's easy to admire a guy like Denard. Win or less I know I love him.

Man I hate listening to Musberger and Herbstreit talk. I would prefer to listen to Nickelback's complete discography than these guys while watching a game.

I really don't mind playing teams like the defending national champion, as long as it isn't the first game of the year. And seriously, fuck running smith up the middle already.

Eight-yard ground gain with a few missed tackles feels about right.

Alabama's RBs are ridiculous.

I wonder if we might see more "sheathed Denard offense" in the first halves, especially when we have Toussaint back.
