More Social Experiment: What are our chances of beating Delaware St?
Comments have slowed to a trickle on the Iowa thread, so lets get to the next matchup:
What are Michigan's chances, in your opinion, of getting a win in two weeks vs. Delaware St?
My take: 99%
As before I will only count between 1-99% This is why:
100% = The Horror has to have taught us something.
0% = You are a shameful troll obviously out to screw up my data.
And again, +1 from me for all serious answers.

As an old football coach of mine once said, "99 times out of 10 somebody's gonna win. Why can't it be us?"
Yes that is 99 out of 10. He wasn't Yogi Berra but he was entertaining.
The number is 99%
I will put a month's salary on a 4-touchdown victory.

I'm taking the leap to 100 percent. UM would still win this game with the Coner at QB.

Forcier will be sitting out by the 2nd half and DR will be getting his reps.

This is the perfect game for DRob to learn to manage a game. I wouldn't let Tate dress. We need him the rest of the way.

until the game starts. Once the ball is kicked, 99% to Michigan.

No way we lose.

This is a team that will be fired up to get revenge on I-AA.

At first I wanted to say 99%,
But then I thought no, maybe 93%,
If I averaged those I come to 96%,
But I like Sherlock Holmes, which made me think of a 7% solution,
But I'd have to be crazy to say 7%,
So I'll just add it to 96%,
And say 103%
I know it's not fair, but neither is Sherlock Holmes

If we were playing the other winged helmets it might be confusing. Lucky Us. 97%
October 5th, 2009 at 1:06 AM ^
No doubt about that. And that's based on your scale of 1-99. If not, I'd say 100%.

Even if Tate and DRob both come down with swine flu and cant play, the two headed monster of Nick Sherridan and David Cone will still put up 56 points.

There's been a few 1-AA (sorry, FBS) upsets and close games this year, but I don't see it happening in this game.

champion, and I think won it the year they beat Michigan as well. Delaware State is much farther from that team than Michigan '09 is from Michigan '07.
This is at best a 98-2 shot for Delaware State.
