As I recall, Lunardi or someone else actually did a way-too-early bracket for the coming season back in April - I could be deluding myself, but I am pretty sure it made the board. I am rather perturbed though by the lack of 2016-2017 hoops predictions from the gurus. You simply can't get good predictions based on no data anymore, it seems.

So let me get this straight, you feel that an American Gold Medal winner should be more famous than a women whose sex tape with a 2 bit rap singer was sold by her mother, who has fake huge boobies and an ass the size of columbus, who constantly wants to be naked and show off those boobies and her vj, who named her kid a direction on a campus and who has an IQ barely in double figures?  I need to think about that one!

Some publication or sports writer but Michigan in the Rose Bowl against Oregon.  So far, that is my favorite.  They have M all over the board.

That sounds decent and its the first ever matchup for Les and Coach Harbaugh two former Michigan Players under Bo going head to head if that happend.

I've thought about this before.  Does his love for Michigan cause Les to throw the game?  Or does he try to beat the piss out of us for jerking him around during the last three CC's?

I have to say it.  

Who gives a fuck?  We're going to be better than last year.  The predictions are always bullshit (how many had OSU winning it all last year?).  It's one of the oldest 'page click' tricks in the book.  'WELL NOW THAT SPRING BALL IS DONE, LET'S TAKE THE 2014 RANKINGS, TWEAK SLIGHTLY, AND SHOVE NEW SHIT OUT TO THE PUBLIC'.  

BOO.

These remind me of mock drafts. Are usually wrong, feed the public and make fans upset/happy. 



On an unrelated note, I want a job naming renaming the bowls. Classic ones get there names back so the smaller ones can become uber coporate sponsored. "The Apple iPhone6 Bowl, played inside a CostCo"

The names of those last six bowls are just pathetic. Bowl season is so much bs now. At least they partially corrected New Years Day with the semifinal games on.

What would this put us at?  Approximately 9-3?

 

We'd be third in the East it would seem, which would presumably put us at 6-2 with losses to MSU and OSU.  The OOC would determine if we fall on the 8-4 side of things or 10-2.  I could certainly see this happening if the line and QB situations develop positively.  

 

I really hope for a positive showing @Utah, even if it is ultimately a loss.  Would be nice to see some positivity for the rest of the year.

I thought that the appetizers were randomly assigned and I was going to say that I hope that we're bloomin' onion this time. However, it sounds like the Big Ten is always coconut shrimp.

So....WAR DAMN SHRIMP!
