Alfred Watson of Topeka, Kansas Poll has UM as Preseason #1
Returning starters - a lot
Lost to graduation - a few
Key takeaways from Alfred: "I just like this team, have you seen the helmets - they are snazzy... and I think my poll holds up to any other out there. Also ,,, Harbaugh."
Alfred has Bama #2, Baylor #3, FSU #4, Clemson #5, Houston #6, Notre Dame #7..... OSU #9 and MSU #17 if interested.
Discuss.

For the love of god...
January 12th, 2016 at 2:15 AM ^
Don't fight it...looks good for recruiting.
January 12th, 2016 at 2:14 AM ^
Still underrated IMO. Much disrespekt that we'll carry with us all season as motivation.
January 12th, 2016 at 2:20 AM ^
and I have never heard of the guy. But the uminks poll, also based in Topeka, KS has Michigan ranked number 1 in the 2016 season!
January 12th, 2016 at 2:31 AM ^
The mainstream media does not WANT you to find out about Alfred's poll. He has been doing this sh** for 5 decades now - I am not going to reveal which senior citizen center he works from because of the black helicopter stuff we all know to be true but the truth is out there - you just have to seek it.
Look man, I know there has been a long standing feud between the uminks & Watsons clans that spans generations (read about it on wikipedia so must be true) but no one is going to stop Alfred's roll....

and would like to subscribe to his newsletter.

and what's all this crap i've been hearing about tolerance?

Ponderous, man. Ponderous.

Side note, has anybody noticed Rashan Gary's recent Twitter follows? I saw a screenshot on Twitter and checked for myself -- his recent follows are basically every Michigan commit and target. That can't be a bad thing. He's even followed the 2017 guys.
January 12th, 2016 at 6:46 AM ^
Awesome. Thanks for passing along the good news!
January 12th, 2016 at 12:42 PM ^
Awesome, thanks for being a super creepy Twitter stalker of teen boys... :-D

From what I recall he was Drew Sharp's mentor after they met at the workshop "Inflammatory Journalism and Pointless Plaigerism."

That's what the government will want you to think.
It's real man... it's all real....
Don't be surprised if this entire thread is wiped out by the government by the morning.
January 12th, 2016 at 5:39 AM ^
Alfred is Batman's butler, and he's totally tight with Commissioner Gordon. So, yeah, this thing goes to the very top of the government. The Gotham City government anyways. Do some investigation, people. The truth is out there. . .
January 12th, 2016 at 12:10 PM ^
You are confusing Alfred Watson with Alfred Pennyworth. They are brothers.

January 12th, 2016 at 2:32 AM ^
How many starters are Bama losing? or does it even matter considering how they reload?
January 12th, 2016 at 2:59 AM ^
21 5*s last 4 years and top ranked classes. doesn't really matter.
January 12th, 2016 at 8:52 AM ^
Plus they rotate a lot, so their 2nd string has game experience.
Our only hope is Saban's boredom. What's he got left to wake up for? It's NC or bust at Alabama. Makes August-November an absolute grind.
January 12th, 2016 at 2:42 AM ^
This shit is legit yo!!!

of the early 21st century. Lucky bastards.
January 12th, 2016 at 3:22 AM ^
I want us to be so good we're -1. Suck on that, Bama.
January 12th, 2016 at 7:14 AM ^
We're minus 1 ? Is that a good thing?
January 12th, 2016 at 5:02 AM ^
What happened to the poll that had Michigan at #2? I didn't see that one yet
January 12th, 2016 at 5:07 AM ^
Stealing DiscussMan's thunder.
January 12th, 2016 at 6:27 AM ^
NUMBER ONE! WHOOO-HOOO! HARBAUGH!!! GO BLUE!!!!
January 12th, 2016 at 6:57 AM ^
#1 seems to be pushing it a little. How about #6? Yeah, 6 is good.
January 12th, 2016 at 7:23 AM ^
We have a ways to go based on Bama the last two games. How the hell did OSU beat them last year?
January 12th, 2016 at 7:55 AM ^
Clemson should have beat them. I've never seen so many blown coverages/miscommunication in my life. A team that's unbeatable doesn't allow 40 points.

OSU is Clemson with a better defense and special teams. That's how they beat them.
Clearly the formula for beating Alabama is now well established. Clemson was one brain fart away from doing it last night.
January 12th, 2016 at 7:25 AM ^
I don't know this Alfred Watson of Topeka.
But I like the cut of his jib.
January 12th, 2016 at 8:13 AM ^
This thread should be deleted. I get the joke--ha ha-- but I am not sure why this couldn't have been made in a thread. And yes, turd in the punch bowl and all that, but I don't know what makes this different than any other stupid thread that gets deleted all the time.

Gotta give credit to the guy for understanding the Harbaugh bump.
January 12th, 2016 at 8:28 AM ^
Alfred Watson is drunk AND high.
January 12th, 2016 at 8:51 AM ^
I refuse to read this stuff, these are the same kinds of writers who give alabama 75 retroactive national titles.
January 12th, 2016 at 9:00 AM ^
See, I don't know why we haven't turned to Alfred for insight in the past - this seems like a missed opportunity that we, as a community, should look to correct in the coming year. Occasional consulations and a good study of the historical accuracy of Alfred's Poll and Alfred's Picks during the season might be prudent, but I am hopeful he can contribute.
January 12th, 2016 at 9:35 AM ^
Michigan is #4 in this way too early poll. I like it!

I wish the season started tomorrow.....*sigh*
Waiting for more football sucks.
January 12th, 2016 at 9:55 AM ^
I hope we get Clemson in the playoff next year. Imagine what Jake Butt could do in that game
