9-3
They've got to prove on the field that they can beat OSU before I can say they’ll win that game. Until then, that game is a loss every single time.
They could win their bowl game and get to 10-3. Depends on who they play and what their mental state is after OSU.
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
I thought we’d be 10-1 with a loss to psu.
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
Before season thought we'd be 10-1. I am just glad to see team playing their best football in November for a change. Still a lot of bragging rights on the line this week.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:36 PM ^
Understatement of the year goes to...:
“team playing their best football in November”
I completely agree with this statement.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:16 PM ^
How much of this should be credited to Ben Herbert?
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:33 PM ^
Not just bragging rights, a NY6 bowl, maybe even a Rose bowl if we win.
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
All I know is that Jimmy’s football team has yet to beat a team it was not supposed to beat...and this has been going on for 5 years. Yes, 5 long years.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:00 PM ^
The Notre Dame win wasn't exactly chopped liver. Neither was Iowa.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:18 PM ^
Regardless, Michigan was still the favorite in both games. Jimmy and his staff need to prove they can win when not expected to. Let’s hope next weekend is when it happens.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:21 PM ^
What if "Jimmy and his staff" don't do what you want? What will you do?
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:34 PM ^
He'll probably fondle the corpses in his Jimmy room like he does every other night.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:35 PM ^
The main thing that underdog stat shows me is that we have been the underdog in a shockingly low number of games.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:49 PM ^
According to who? ND was favored.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:56 PM ^
Dont you have anything better to do on a Saturday night herbstriet?
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:23 PM ^
I thought ND was favored this year? Michigan opened as the favorite but I think it was ND -1 by kickoff. If so he could make it two in a row next weekend
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:00 PM ^
10-2 is what I thought. Wasn’t expecting a L to Wisco.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:01 PM ^
10-2 is what I thought. Wasn’t expecting a L to Wisco.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:03 PM ^
9-3. And i predicted we'd lose to Wisconsin, PSU and the Death Star.
But now that we seem willing to actually open things up on offense I'm a bit more optimistic that 10-2 IS possible.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:03 PM ^
10-1 with the loss to Wisconsin since we haven't won in Camp Randall in 72 years. Didn't expect to lose to PSU.
Beat Ohio.
November 24th, 2019 at 11:05 AM ^
Thank you for being optimistic you crabby old bastard.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:05 PM ^
So far we are 2-0 in the games I really care about. Not only did we win, we crushed their souls.
Watch out Bucks. This team is on a mission.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:06 PM ^
10-2 before the season. Pep may have gone 11-1 with a loss to OSU. I feel like Gattis gives us a fighting chance this week. The season was successful and disappointing at the same time.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:07 PM ^
I had 10-1 with a loss to ND. I didn't think PSU was going to be as good as they've been, and I also expected us to be a hell of a lot more prepared for Wisconsin. ND is a very good team, but I expected them to be a playoff contender this season.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:08 PM ^
I thought 9-3 to start (loss at PSU, loss to OSU, and I was torn on either Wisconsin or ND).
After the Illinois game, I thought 8-4 was more likely.
Now, still not sure about next week, but I am so glad to see the turnaround from halftime of that Penn State game to now.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
I had them losing to one of ND/PSU, possibly both. Didn't see the Wisconsin loss coming, as I thought we'd roll them again.
As usual the season comes down to OSU. A win and the future looks bright. A loss and ...well we all know that feeling as it will feel exactly like most of the last two decades.
I'm not expecting them to win, but a W in this game, 1-0 vs Day, goddamn. That changes everything. The future would feel bright again. Either way, Gattis seems to have the offense humming finally and if we can find a QB who can run the system in McCaffrey or Milton and not have it take half the goddamn season, we should be very effing good next year. So, here's to hoping. It'd be a helluva a way to go out.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^
Goddamn
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
I had 10-3 with losses to Wisconsin, PSU, and Ohio State (bowl game win). Hoping to be one loss off of that prediction.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
On 7/29, I posted to a thread here that we would be a 9 or 10 win team with losses to OSU, ND, and possibly PSU. I didn’t expect to beat ND or lose to Wisconsin. I still expect to lose to OSU. And, defense remains my biggest concern as it has been for a couple years now. Still hopeful that Harbaugh gets his first victory against tSIO. Don Brown needs to call the game of his life. Go blue!
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:28 PM ^
I had projected 9-3 with losses to UW, psu, and osu.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:33 PM ^
10-1 with a loss to Wisconsin. The PSU loss will haunt me for a long time. I expect to finish 11-2 with a great Rose Bowl victory.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:39 PM ^
I was pretty confident we would be 10-1 with the loss coming from either Wisconsin, Penn St, or ND.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:41 PM ^
Are the only bowl options right now: beat OSU and go to Rose Bowl or lose and go to Holiday Bowl?
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:31 PM ^
Still a bit more fluid than that
Beating OSU doesn't guarantee a Rose Bowl, but very likely promises a NY6 bowl
Think there are still some different mid-tier bowls we can play in if we lose tho
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
You beat OSU and get to 10 wins and you are guaranteed an NY6 appearance. Take that to the bank.
What may not happen is the Rose Bowl. That I could see going to Minnesota if they win next week.
November 24th, 2019 at 12:40 AM ^
Ehhhh idk, remember we jumped Sparty in 2011 when they lost the B1G title game. It'll be tough for the Rose Bowl committee to turn down a 10-2 Michigan team in favor of an 11-2 Minnesota team in that scenario
November 24th, 2019 at 10:06 AM ^
In a perfect world, beating OSU sends OSU to the Rose Bowl.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:43 PM ^
Won a lot of money on 〽️ w/ 9 wins...
November 24th, 2019 at 12:52 AM ^
Me too.
Didn't look so promising for a time.
I think that this team can beat Ohio State but even for me the BPONE related to the Death Star is concerning.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:48 PM ^
Before the season, I thought we’d lose two of Wisconsin, PSU, ND, MSU and OSU.
hope I was right
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:53 PM ^
I had us 10-1 with a loss to Wisconsin. I also had us losing The Game. Hope to be wrong there...
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
I thought 8-4 with losses to Wisconsin, Pedo State, ND, and OSU. Glad I was wrong about ND and Michigan was able to get to 9-3. Hopefully everyone plays in the bowl game and Michigan can get to 10 wins.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:21 PM ^
Brian had us 11-1 with a loss to OSU, so 11-0 after today.
I think I had us 10-2 on the season, with one loss to OSU, so 10-1 after today. Or maybe 9-3 for the season. Either way, I did not expect the horrible start to the year. That was disappointing, and I wonder if some of the team's recent progress only seems great in comparison. I suppose we'll find out in a week. Strangely I might give us better odds of beating OSU in The Game today than I would have at the start of the season. Still not good odds, but better.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:23 PM ^
15-0
11-2
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:29 PM ^
I nailed it
Had us losing to Penn State and Wisconsin and winning every other game
Even the one after Thanksgiving...
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:34 PM ^
I predicted 9-3 with losses to WI, PSU and OSU. I hope I'm wrong and we can get a big win next week against OSU. We need an electric stadium next week with the defense and offense both playing well. I have a feeling it will be a close game now, win or lose.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
Here is the thread of record. I predicted 9-3 but I had us beating OSU at home and losing to WI, PSU and ND. Here is that old prediction thread.
November 24th, 2019 at 2:23 PM ^
Here’s my prediction in that thread you just posted:
”9-3, losses at Wisconsin, PSU and at home against OSU.
Victory in minor bowl game against overmatched opponent.”
It’s still my prediction.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:59 PM ^
I believe I was at 10-1. Not sure who I thought we'd lose to. If we had this speed in space thing down at the start of the season we'd likely be 11-0 right now.
November 24th, 2019 at 12:05 AM ^
I thought we would beat PSU. Wisconsin I did not anticipate. Our Heart I underestimated. GO BLUE BEAT THE BUCKS!
November 24th, 2019 at 1:52 AM ^
Before the season: 12-0
Now: 10-2. :)
