Compared to those who dealt with massive delays / cancellations, I really can't complain.  But I'm commenting here only because of how odd it was.  Our Delta flight out of Houston was delayed over an hour because they were waiting for food / drinks.  We lucked out because we had a 2 hour window before our next flight, but like half the people on the flight missed their connections because of this.  Have no idea why Delta would do this just for food / drinks on a 2 1/2 hour flight.  Perhaps there's some regulation that requires certain supplies?

You're forgetting that 2023 OSU had a top-5 defense.  This is more like 2021 OSU, where UM ran the ball down their throat in the second half.

Nice analysis.  To me the biggest mismatch here is that for as bad as Washington's defense appears to be, their run defense is even worse.  I believe I saw that their rush defense success rate was #125 in the country.  Texas had three different RBs averaging over 6.5 yards per carry on Monday and (imo) they bailed Washington out by throwing the ball 43 times.  Washington gave up 140 yards per game on the ground during the season, and that's against a lot of teams that don't particularly care to run the ball.  This feels like a game where Michigan runs the ball 40-50 times at 5+ yards a carry and Penix is sitting on the bench for 2/3 of the game. 

35-24 good guys feels about right.

One thing to keep in mind re: the supply you see online.  The ticket brokers are gaming the system.  I noticed last year when buying tix for the semifinal that within specific sections / rows, the inventory would drop a bit as people bought tickets, but then would go back up again.  It became pretty clear to me that brokers are holding back tickets to make it look like the supply is dropping, but then when they would start to clear out they would replenish the supply.  While it is scary to wait, the best prices will probably be Sunday night / Monday morning.  But when the supply really does run out as gametime approaches, the prices will be insane.

Perhaps I’m missing it, but I can’t find this information anywhere.  Last year for the Orange Bowl there was a map that showed which sections were for which teams.  I don’t want to buy tickets until I can see which sections are for UM.  Has anyone seen this info for Fiesta Bowl yet?

Kicking

Can someone explain to me why Harbaugh keeps saying it's "a bit much" asking one guy to kick FGs and punt?  I mean, I get it if you're just not good at one or the other, but is it really that physically demanding?
