Nice misleading title.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
In the car, sorry. He has WMU as his "Herdle" potential upset pick. It is Cowherd so take it for what it is.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:10 PM ^
Stop blogging while driving. Its illegal in most states and you're likely to kill someone.
August 31st, 2011 at 4:01 PM ^
And you're likely to double post.

Who cares if he has a misleading title about the opinions of a jackass? Does it really matter if someone picks them to win?
Not really.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:02 PM ^
#1 rule of Mgoblog is always talk about Mgoblog
#2 rule of Mgoblog is make a damn title that is informative to the post.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:34 PM ^
because the people who read this blog still have dial-up and it takes 5 minutes for the page to load so they end up wasting way too much time clicking on a topic they didnt actually care about

Action News: President Reagan Dies... His Hair!
August 31st, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
It is Cowherd, who cares.
August 31st, 2011 at 4:49 PM ^
Colin Cowherd is a major assclown who needs to be banned from radio and media broadcasts everywhere.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:10 PM ^
clearly anyone that says things you don't like should be banned. Freedom of speech and the press is so 1700's.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
Dear OP - extra letters in your title don't cost more. "...to cover the spread"
August 31st, 2011 at 11:47 AM ^
No excuse for the subpar title. I accept all ridicule.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:50 AM ^
Hate isn't deserved; maybe just a bit of ridicule. Anyway, just edit your title when you get a chance.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:46 AM ^
wouldn't you say picking the spread? and picking WMU to win are two different things?
August 31st, 2011 at 3:59 PM ^
good cause I would too
August 31st, 2011 at 11:47 AM ^
Its a topic of discussion to help time go by, because with 3 days till kickoff everything is moving in slow motion.....I got a question...whats the spread
August 31st, 2011 at 12:34 PM ^
Michigan +14.5. First week of cf some money can be made. I'm picking Michigan to cover I haven't bet on sports in years but that spread has me wanting to. Every gambler I work with has Michigan on a ticket.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:38 PM ^
August 31st, 2011 at 1:32 PM ^
If your bookie has Michigan +14.5, can I get his number? I could wipe out all my student loans before I graduate.
August 31st, 2011 at 3:22 PM ^
I would honestly put $10,000 on Michigan +14.5.
August 31st, 2011 at 4:58 PM ^
Same bet of anything YOU do not want to be on it.
<br>There is a reason casinos are billion dollar palaces and enterprises, the public as a whole are losers(gambling wise at a minimum.) haha
August 31st, 2011 at 1:01 PM ^
It's basketball on grass (or field turf).
August 31st, 2011 at 11:47 AM ^
isn't Cowherd's agent a Michigan grad? He should be careful not to anger the person that got him where is in the first place.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:12 PM ^
August 31st, 2011 at 12:15 PM ^
Not exaggerating at all. I remember when Sportsnation came to campus last year to do a live show and Colin did his morning radio show also on campus live. It was hilarious just watching everyone walk by not giving a damn what he was talking about (as opposed to Sportsnation which was flooded with people).
August 31st, 2011 at 11:47 AM ^
OMG LOOK AT WHAT I WAS DARING ENOUGH TO DO EVERYONE GOOGLE ME AND FIND OUT WHO THE HECK I AM AND LISTEN TO MY SHOW PLEASE PLEASE NOTICE ME
What?
August 31st, 2011 at 11:48 AM ^
This is the same team that was passed over for a bowl game, even though they had 6 wins. We will crush them.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:49 AM ^
Didn't most of the galaxy have us losing our opener to UConn last year too?
August 31st, 2011 at 11:50 AM ^
Why are we discussing Cowherd's opinions. He is the worst host/expert/tool on the ESPN payroll.
August 31st, 2011 at 1:01 PM ^
Rob Parker. Its like finding a needle in a stack of needles.
August 31st, 2011 at 1:54 PM ^
Dr. Lou dishagreesh ash that title not only belongsh to him but ish forever retired and ish now named after him.
August 31st, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
Mark May and Woody Paige are both bigger douches.
August 31st, 2011 at 8:43 PM ^
No way. I'm not a big fan of either of those guys, but Cowherd seriously takes the cake.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:51 AM ^
made me think of a field of cow droppings
August 31st, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
Which is an accurate representaion of his show.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:53 AM ^
I don't think it's crazy to pick WMU in this game. They have an excellent QB and a very good coach who has been in place for the better part of a decade. Michigan's D might come out not really knowing what it's supposed to do, and Carder could do enough damage to score more than a Michigan offense that doesn't have any game experience running some of its schemes.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:00 PM ^
I don't think it's crazy to bet either way on any game. Vegas has spreads for a reason.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:03 PM ^
I misunderstood your post at first.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:11 PM ^
I agree that picking WMU to cover isn't crazy, but picking them striaght up? UM beat WMU 31-7 two years ago with a inferior unit to the team that should be put out this year.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
1. 2009 wasn't a particularly good WMU team by its standards;
2. We have reason to believe that Michigan's D will be much-improved, but we haven't seen that yet;
3. WMU has a really good QB and a 1,000 yard (6th-year) WR coming back;
4. WMU's players are all familiar w/ their systems;
5. There's good reason to think that Michigan won't be great at running the pro-style parts of its offense.
Don't get me wrong. The above information is only so valuable.
I would not pick WMU in this game. I'm just saying that I don't think predicting a WMU win is crazy.August 31st, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
I think picking a WMU win is crazy. We are going to steamroll them. This isn't 2008 anymore, Sally.
You DO realize that last year's Western team wasn't good, either? I fail to see how they were so much better than 2009, or that this year's team will be so much better than 2010. Picking a 6-6 MAC team to upset M is just stupid.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:35 PM ^
Phil Steele is unusually good at making predictions about such things. WMU has knocked off Iowa and Illinois in the last five or so years.
The fact that Michigan should be better than it's 2008 incarnation doesn't mean that it will beat WMU this year.
If you're going to refer to me by a woman's name, I prefer my drag name, Chesty LaRoux.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
August 31st, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
1. Will Denard be a Heisman-caliber QB in this offense?
2. I think Carder hasn an excellent chance of being better than Hiller. He finised the last part of last year with a 20-3 TD/Int ratio;
3. We haven't seen the D do anything yet.
Again, I'm not picking WMU. But, if I bet on football (which I don't), I would gladly put down $10 (or whatever) if someone were to give me 10-1 odds on WMU.
August 31st, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
Ehh, that number 2 point looks much less impressive when you consider the opponents were the meat of the MAC schedule. NIU excepted of course, since they were pretty good last year (also the game where he threw 2 picks).
