OOC opponent and predictions (concise)
In this post, i shall dwell into the most logical OOC game for 2010 and also just provide a W/L prediction for each 2009 game. In a lter post, i shall explain more in detail on the rationale behind the W/L predictions.
........
Most logical OOC game:
There have been several lousy attempts at predicting who the 2010 OOC opponent will be. While Michigan may well come up with some mediocre SEC (read Arkansas) or Pac 10 (Cal) opponent, what makes the most logical OOC opponent? I submit that it is OSU; yes, that school down south. You CAN play a conference team as an OOC game; there is precedence for it. Even Cook's Big 10 round robin format from a while back suggested this. SO, why OSU and not MSU or other? Because we will be opening our new stadium (you know what i mean, new stands as opposed to an actual new stadium) in 2010; that's why. We MUST play the opening game against OSU. Also, this will mean we have played two straight games against them with a bowl game inbetween. This will add FIRREEE to the rivarly and make us win more games.
........
On to the predictions
So, we are going 10-2 at best, 7-5 at worst with a median of 8.5 wins. BET ON IT. No MNC this year.

On to the predictions
Western Michigan - Autowin
Notre Dame - Likely W
Eastern Michigan - Autowin
Indiana - Autowin
@ Michigan State - Autowin
@ Iowa - Loss
Delaware State - Autowin
Penn State - Likely W
@ Illinois - Loss
@ Purdue - Autowin
@ Wisconsin - Likely W
Ohio State - Functional DNP
So, we are going 10-2 at best, 7-5 at worst with a median of 8.5 wins. BET ON IT. No MNC this year.

I have to completely disagree with these.
To say that MSU is an auto-win and that OSU is a functional DNP is stupid. We have a chance in the OSU game just like how MSU is not an Auto-win.
Means it is a certain Michigan win - like easier than an autowin. This is the term Cook coined for his prediction of his Appalachian state game.
So is the OSU game more or less easy like sunday morning?
This has got to be a joke.
You, sir, are an idiot.
and you a moron.
worst... diary... ever...
Troll...or stupid ass Michigan fan...or mentally challenged...or a combo.
1st, why would we play osu twice in 1 year?
2nd, how do you figure @msu is an auto win and @wisky is a likely win? those will be really tough games.
At least I'm not the only one that thought this. Those are the first two things I noticed. I couldn't even stand to read this article, so I just skimmed it and still decided the poster is a super tard. I would think that we would lose at least one of the two games (MSU and wisky), if not both. Also, playing OSU twice would be a deadly schedule, and just plain stupid. Even trying to talk to OSU about that would be embarassing to every person involved with Michigan.
also, i don't know about nd being a likely win, its more like 50/50 or maybe a little less.
Reading this reminded me of this scene.
Seriously, stay off the drugs.
I was with you at first when I got to the part about OSU. I assumed you meant Oklahoma St. based on Brian's post. Then I read the next sentence. I stopped reading after that.
i don't care buddy

THE TRUE MICHIGAN MAN KNOWS THAT ONCE SARKISIAN TAKES OVER THE PROGRAM, WE WILL BE SCHEDULING HIS FORMER EMPLOYER USC IN OUR OOC MATCHUP

YES
It's a shame so many of the new people won't get that. +1
I got it.
I guess I'm one of those people. Didn't get it totally, but for some reason I still found it somewhat chuckle worthy.
Was having flashbacks to THE KNOWLEDGE and was about to post the same thing, especially re: Sarkisian.
THE KNOWLEDGE was more entertaining than this guy though.
The original Michigan Man or The Michigan Man or whoever he was would come and spout lines of glory. Things such at
Toilet Paper sux! [Expletive] fO$U!He even had his own blog that made it about 3 posts before it died. Spoofing mlive boards just becomes a bit too obnoxious of a shtick.
I agree with the rest of the post, but just becasue a blog dies doesn't mean it was bad. I seem to remember a pretty cool blog that died.......
I didn't say it was bad, he just ran out of material, which is a pretty solid way of summarizing just how monotonous mlive boards are.
Playing Ohio State for the opener?
Yes, the word "logical" comes immediately to mind.
Pitt in my stomach.
Is that you? Are you making your epic comeback?
He stole this phrase from Chaucer. It's Middle English, spoken primarily around Dorchester and Kent. It translates loosely as "hot coals pressed to the testicles."
It is nought good a sleeping hound wake.
post about how the mgoposts have really improved lately, which I agreed with.
Now I have to retract that.
My user name feels violated.
