Sorry couldn't resist. Ugh, everything comes back to us; seriously, people sold their souls to hurt us.

But not tomorrow!!!!

Inexplicable shit happens and we win: Michigan 24 - Ohio State 14, same as the Pitt/Miami game. It happened once, it can happen again...

I cannot with a good conscience pick us to win the game. They have let me and all of you down when it comes to this game for the last 15ish years. Until I see a change, not a close loss, but a win against a team that isn't lead by an interim coach, I have no choice but to pick o$u. and I will continue to do so every single year until we win. They were going to be my pick regardless of how well or bad the season went. I think we keep it close in the first half, but in the second the difference in talent and experience becomes very evident and we lose 27-17.

love to beat those smug, red and Grey assholes. I'm so sick of losing to them. No news so far on our quarterback, so guessing O'Korn start. ugh. I hate the thought of getting blown out by these guys.

I just have a hard time believing Ohio wins 6 in a row. We can beat them. Harbaugh had of think of some new strategies to put smart urban. Michigan wins 20-14

Also I really hope the crowd is all maize and in the whole game. Fans need to be there and help us win. Get in JTs head and we win. Their heads are gonna be big and they expect to win. We want it more

If this is even remotely close at halftime, the refs will get a call from Indianapolis and the rest of the game will be a blowout. Even though OSU is the better team, the refs will really screw us once again. This is not conspiracy theory, it's conspiracy fact.

On a windy November day, anything can happen. With our stellar defense, good...no, GREAT things WILL happen.

I'll not predict a score, but I do think that not only will our defense rise to the occasion, but will also put a TD on the scoreboard for us. In a defensive slugfest, we win by 4. Led by #4, we win by 4.

Nordin 3/3 on FGs. Either 2 offensive TDs, or one offensive TD and one by the defense returning a pick.

My common-sense prediction is an afternoon of torture, OSU 45, M 17.

But I’m hoping against hope that OSU has an Iowa Disease relapse, and we go into upset mode. Hey, it can happen. Look at Pitt-Miami.

37-13 osu. OSU comes out strong and goes up 14-0 but the UM defense steps up and holds steady and it’s 14-10 at half. OSU beats the breaks off of UM in the 3rd and by end of the game the boys in blue look like a bunch of beat up Thailand ladyboys. It’s so ugly you, yourself, can’t face your wife so you get on Craigslist to find a tranny of your own and have your first ladyboy experience in a shady part of Detroit.

I’ll be heading up to AA from Columbus at 3am. GO BLUE!!! It will always be GO BLUE!

Honestly, hate to say it but since I started being a Michigan fan in 2012, I've never been so sure of a loss. 

 

I think it will be a one score OSU lead at halftime that slowly expands throughout the second half. Something like 14-7 at half with a 31-13 final feels right.

Teams trade TDs in the first quarter, but OSU goes into half time on a long, 75-85 yard TD drive that sucks the air out of the stadium. Coming out of halftime, defense starts the third quarter strong, but when it becomes clear the offense will not be able to score, they wilt in the fourth leading to two OSU fourth quarter TDs. Defense will be mostly strong, but will give up a few explosive, 50+ yard plays that are killers. I can't see the offense scoring more than one full TD drive; can see them converting on a short field from special teams or a turnover once or twice, but lots of three and outs and sacks. 

 

If Michigan is going to pull of a miracle, the recipe I see is this:

  • Win the turnover margin by at least 2, probably 3. 
  • OSU has a terrible special teams sequence (the worst part of their team). 
  • Michigan's offense shows at least one compentent drive, which must be early, which allows the crowd to be fully into it/have hope. 
  • Cash in on officiating karma owed to us from last year. 
  • Defense is able to avoid giving up explosive plays on third and long.

Nordin hits 4 field goals, (or maybe just one and a safety).   Higdon, Evans, Issac and Walker combine for 300 yds. on the ground.  Not sure who qbs, but the team wins the turnover battle, the battle of wills, and the game.  Or we could lose.  Don't wake me in case I'm dreaming.
