We have a little "pick the record" game between me and 5 michigan fans I work with (we throw in $150 each so it's a nice pot at the end) we pick UM points scored against msu and osu for tie breakers. Anyway I picked UM to lose @Iowa and @tosu. I think reasonable picks before this year started as Kinick is a very tough place to play.

Not gonna lie I am still nervous about this game and afraid it could be like psu/osu. I mean come on PSU is not good and shoudl never have beated osu. I worry the same thing could happen here.

lol i don't post much...usually just read. It came from a "spirited" conversation I was having with a member years ago who accused me of probably being 150 pounds with boots on or something. It turned into me posting pictures to prove I workout and then took an even stranger turn.

If UM gets up 14-0 easily, you'll see fans leaving Kinnick.  It's gotten that bad and if any Michigan fans want to go to the game, I'm sure there will be plenty of tickets to be had for very good prices outside the stadium.

 

Not sure why the Hawks aren't playing well, but they flat out look outgunned on defense and horribly coordinated on offense.

I have a prediction of Michigan 56-9.  This one's going to get ugly and it pains me to say so.

Now, go win out and win a national title for the Big Ten!

It is a very cool place to watch a game I was considering heading over this weekend. I made the trip in '11 when UM lost and the fans were not douche bags (they were really cool) and I heard the night games there are awesome.

Long drive from columbus though!
