Buck fans be a nervous bunch...
Some are still delusional and there's really no cure for them. Some are in reality that this year is different and if things continue on current trajectories they could haz a sad come November.

Eh, this is silly. OSU fans have pretty good reason to be confident in their team. If Michigan was 11-2 against them over the past however many years we'd be talking a lot of smack no matter how many shutouts OSU put up this season. OSU isn't scared that we might be good again. Neither is Michigan State. They're scared, like any fans, that their team might not be good enough to do well, but for the most part they don't have the idea that they should only be able to beat Michigan if Michigan sucks at football.
I don't think many people here had a huge freakout over Meyer ending up at OSU, like it was going to ruin Michigan's football program or something, even though he was one of the most successful coaches in college football when he was hired. Nobody here even wishes that Dantonio would just leave, even though he built Michigan State into a team that keeps beating Michigan (although I fully expect Michigan to win this Saturday).
It's not delusional at this point for Ohio State fans to expect to win just about every game. They almost always do, especially against Michigan in the 21st century. Even in 2011, their interim coach of a 6-7 team was one missed long Braxton Miller pass away from beating the best Michigan team since 2006 in the Big House. They won a national championship last year and haven't lost since then. And we think that we can talk trash because we beat up on a pretty good Northwestern team?
I love trash talking. I have all the confidence in the world that Harbaugh is building something really special here, and I even think we might be in the playoff this year. But Michigan football has been so crappy for so long that it'll take a little while to have things to trash talk about. Winning Saturday against a depleted Michigan State team would be a good start. Even then, geez, man. It'll take a lot of years of beating up on Ohio State to get back to where we've been.
