Well, Brian said on wtka Thursday that he thinks Michigan will win and based that on his charting. His game breakdowns and picks since the state game are about as serious as his 11-6 score picks. I look at those as info and what to expect. The pick is kind of abstract at this point.

I predict that after Michigan's victory the narrative from most of the talking heads will be that Wisconsin isn't any good and the win says more about Wisconsin mediocrity than Michigan skill or ability.

are all Harbaugh supporters for the most part. I actually think Cowherd was one of the best ESPN had on sports talk radio. Sometimes I would not like his narrative, but often he was right. He was one of the first to call Michigan a dumpster fire during the Hoke era. Of course, I didn't like to hear it. I would get defensive, but unfortunately it was true.  Conversely, he said day one Harbaugh would bring a National Championship to Michigan.  The best sports talk people don't say things just to provoke but are not afraid of being provocative. I understand some people dumping on certain sports personalities because they are not that thoughtful and/or insightful.  But Cowherd, Klatt and Neuheisel all provide perspective that is different than the sheep mentality of most sports analyst or sports talk show hosts.

The one issue I had with him wasn't his opinions is that he'd say the same thing over and over 5 times. It became too unbearable to listen to him because of this. I kept yelling at the radio telling him "WE GET IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT IT 5 TIMES!"

Man, if Cowherd drives you nuts, there's a local ESPN radio guy named David Griffin here in Raleigh Durham that will repeat things two or three times WITHIN THE SAME SENTENCE!  He's pretty good if you can get past the annoyance of being talked to like a 3 year old.

He gets on these weird tangents at times but I’ve always thought he was alright. He actually does see through a lot of bulllshit. Inckuding Hoke being over his head (which didn’t take I genius I get). I do like he is a clear harbaugh supporter though so yeah I’m biased. I’m a little confused by his pick though. He started his show with “Wisconsin will beat Michigan and Michigan fans will blame harbaugh and call him an average coach’s and their wrong”. I think he was torn due to the game at UW. Frankly, I bet a lot more people would be on upset alert if the game was in AA.

Yes, seriously.  I don't always agree with him but I like his stuff.  He is intelligent and really digs into things.  Makes me scratch my head and think, hey you got something there.  Best of all he thinks we win today.  Go Blue!

You think Michigan would be due and the luck would swing back in their direction at some point but it never does.
