And Wisconsin had a bad…

And Wisconsin had a bad season las year. I prefer to think about the 2016 Penn State season right now 

When and what department did…

When and what department did you teach in? 

Thanks for the reminder…

Thanks for the reminder.. also lost to Fordham to open 2015. Nearly lost to Bucknell that season too. Wasn’t great

Power 5 stat is wrong Seth…

Power 5 stat is wrong Seth. Off the top of my head we beat Wake Forest my senior year, 2016. Surprised you didn’t star Walker, he’s the biggest home run threat in the run game and pass game. For the record, this is the first time in my life I’m rooting against Michigan - going to be a strange sensation on Saturday. That being said, Go Army, Beat Michigan!

Proud USMA grad and current…

Proud USMA grad and current Big Red One soldier - BEAT NAVY

Living in Kansas now, so…

Living in Kansas now, so glad the fiancé and I went, and stayed to the end.. second sweetest Michigan moment to the win over OSU in 2011 that I've seen. 

Ill be in section 207 with my girlfriend

Working at Fort Riley now, couldnt miss out on Michigan in Kansas. Go Blue!

Hope the Alabama doc’s treatments can help!

I have admired your writing ability and knowledge for some time, and now I also admire your courage and resilience.

Lucky to be there

I was there last year - best sporting event of my life. Have fun out there tonight!

CBS be like

One commercial for an entire quarter? Not on our watch!!

Army’s white out uniforms are gonna look sweet

Aint nobody gonna throw in this game anyhow. Ball security might decide the game - hold on to the ball! Good pitches! GO ARMY!

Navy has small decks

SINK NAVY!!

This post got my hopes up

I like when Delany sucks it. You disappoint

I hear you

But then when OSU wins but doesnt cover you hate yourself more than anything.

Look at Iowas record at home vs top 5 teams for instance

People can mistake random events for patterns, but sometimes patterns do exist.

Maybe Hill?

He remains about as dangerous as a fullback can be, the offense just hasn't been in the position of using him as much. That must be why he's lost his star, I dont think his blocking or dive ability has regressed. Too bad the play against Indiana didnt count.

Last years WRs

Seems like the Harbaugh recruited O line may yet come along. Bredeson and Onwenu are already serviceable. Last years wideouts include a guy kicked off the team, a basically useless Crawford, and McDoom, who will probably max out as a very situational player. At least this years freshman class seems to have the talent to make up for it, though not this year.

Really enjoyed this one.

Best gimmicky top 5 of the season!

It takes home vs away into account

But seems to me like its weighing that far too heavily. I see both of those games being 60-40 type matchups with the advantage to the home team.

I thought it already did

Steve the Defense

One game I hope they lose

To Army! Given their remaining schedule, I do think they can win 10. 9 probably most likely.

With regards to playcalling

All I can think of is they're trying to keep the playbook under wraps until MSU and PSU or something. At least I hope thats what it is.

The cadet comment is my favorite.

If by some miracle an Army flag is planted on the horseshoe field on saturday I will be framing that image on my wall.

Nice summary!

The biggest factor is going to be the defensive line containing the dives. An option team facing 2nd and long is going to be a lot less effective, 1st down is always critical. It kind of takes away the dive option the rest of the series. I watched Army struggle through a 2-10 season in 2015 mostly because they had no good B back and a poor offensive line. Although I expect Air Force wont be that bad this year, Michigans DTs should be able to swallow up the fullback pretty easily most of the time, only thing Id be concerned with is how the line holds up when either Mone or Hurst are off the field. Im assuming Michigan will have to go with a 4 man front for 90% of the snaps in this one. Interested to see how Don Brown may surprise us.

Horribly managed on both sides

Not sure what either coach was thinking the last 3 min there. Hope we come out ready to go 2nd half.

The Army Team

The pride and dream of every heart in gray. Grew up a Michigan fan, went to West Point, pretty simple. The 2013 and 2014 seasons were pretty bleak, but now I confidently believe both my teams are on the rise. Beating Navy last year was the most satisfying sporting event of my life, attending the 2011 win over OSU is second.

UNC Chapel Hill

I think its cool to play other top tier public institutions, and it would be a likely win while still decent for strength of schedule. Also, I live close by now and would like to see a game there.

Thank you Coach Beilein!

Anyone still doubt the toughness and determination of this team?

Great game

This team has been very fun to watch since the OSU game. Well done Irvin coming alive tonight! And very nice defensive play too

Thanks to everyone on the Army side for the support

Have to admit this win meant more to me than any other sporting event in my life so far! Go blue! And GO ARMY!

THIS IS OUR YEAR

Uniforms are awesome. After the OSU game, my Army/Michigan loving heart will not be able to take another heartbreaking loss. Pull for us, Go Army, beat the squids!

We're marching in at 1245.

So I'd get there a little before that!

There are a number of factors

It is easier to recruit at Navy for a few reasons. Not having to go into the Army after graduation is a big one. As a guy from my high school who went on to play at Navy told me when I told him I was going to West Point, "wow dude. People die in the Army." Annapolis is also a great town and the area loves the team, Highland Falls NY is a decidely not great town. Football players at Navy also have some perks like living in their own quarters, here the football players live in the barracks with the rest of us. The next biggest factor I think is coaching, Niumatalolo is better than anyone Army has had in a long time. And finally I think there is a self-perpetuating factor, if you're a good high school player interested in the academies, why not go to the one that has the most success if you can. That being said Go Army Beat Navy

National exposure

Want it to be the only game played that week

Army beats Navy this year

This year is THE YEAR

Like a Roman soldier at Cannae

Awesome Seth. Would never read that anywhere else

Before he was an OC he was mostly a WR and TE coach.

Michael Hirsch!

Because I'm guessing nobody's picked him yet...

Seems about right

Yes our losses are all to good or great teams, but we're lacking a real quality win at this point. Beating Purdue or Maryland would be a good first one.

Good luck Spike!

Leadership and grit are valuable in any profession. So is swag. Can we just go back in time 4 weeks and try this season again or

Go blue!!

Great opportunity to end the season with another shutout.

Strongly disapprove of this post

Those helmets are ridiculous. I respect Navy and the midshipmen but GO ARMY BEAT NAVY.

Gotcha

Thanks

Can anyone explain

What Brian means by 'Special K issues, particularly at Yost'?

App state is anecdotal

Most studies that attempt to regress athletics (football and basketball) success with enrollment find no statistically significant impact. I wrote an Econ paper on this myself, I looked at success over two seasons followed by apps received and enrollment the next two and there was not significant correlation. Not to say some small schools can't catch lightning in a bottle, a la app state, or fgcu

Go Blue!

Could end up being a key win in March
