Higdon guarantees win against Ohio State

Great. Now let's go fucking do it.

Hell yeah!!! Love that dude. Those bucs linebackers gonna get theirs come Saturday. Higdon coming for blood.

Now that's what I call disrespekt. Go Blue !

OGL.  Karan just fed the troll.  He'd better walk the walk on Sat and he just put a ton of pressure on the O-line.

I don't know that it can technically be classified as a guarantee.......

Might be just an attempt to wake the Buckeyes up.....cuz God knows the coaching staff hasn't been able to!

BRING IT!  No sense backing off or playing safe.  Hope Jim comes out with that attitude while coaching, too.  Now, if only Chase will be healthy....

Meanwhile in Ohio at the Pilot truck stop, the great fans of the Buckeyes are getting fired up setting on there coolers.

"Here, tell these people something they don't know about me"

It is now on the table. Time to climb that ladder and knock the bucknuts off their high tree! 

Get it done, Men! 

THOSE WHO STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS! 

GOOD.

Glad he said it.

For those saying "now OSU is going to be more motivated", how so exactly?

1) a berth in the B1G Championship is on the line

2) a chance to make the CFB playoffs is on the line

3) a chance to end Michigan's shot at either the above

4) continuing a massive 8 game winning streak.

If people think that Higdon saying "Yeah, I do. I do,"

"That's how I feel. I believe firmly in my brothers, this team and this coaching staff."

is somehow going to motivate OSU players more than the other goals, i don't know what to say...

its like saying "we're going to give 110%": that's not actually a thing.

If anything, Michigan has been giving too much respect to OSU over the years... they need to see guys like Matthews and Simpson that aren't afraid of getting a bit dirty, getting hostile, getting PO'd

F OSU

Go Blue

Great!  I mean who fucking cares about this shit other than the idiots in the media.  It will have no bearing on the outcome of the game.

Oh ya, this guarantee is going to motivate Ohio State so much that it fixes their awful run game and garbage defense. 

Just read a tweet from an OSU writer that is actually rational.  Basically said this is nothing.  He didn't come to the presser expecting to give a guarantee.  Was pressed by a reported and said "sure."  Even the OSU writer asked "What is he suppose to say?  No, I don't think we are going to win."  Good for him.  Have confidence.  This talk from Monday will mean nothing on Saturday.

Let’s be very clear here...Karan Higdon didn’t try to guarantee a victory. He was baited in to it by a reporter. Now it will be a headline for days.

LOL he just pulled a Harbaugh.

Don't mind a man talking the talk. Just as long as he walks the walk. If he doesn't deliver, this will follow him all the way to the grave. 

He is baited by the reporter but answered confidently. I like his confidence  

Osu is already so fired up for this game this will not make them hit harder or play better. 

It really is a non story. 

Need some of this on Saturday!

Good for him. He should fully expect a victory and be confident enough to say so when asked. Perfect! Turn words into reality!

Good.  Poke the bear and then shoot his ass with buckshot.  Love that our players have changed the mindset.

Brady guaranteed a victory today on his weekly spot on WEEI.  Said he's confident and won't have to pay up on any OSU bets.  One year he had to wear Vrabel's jersey at practice.  

talk it..then go walk it...all over their stupid fuckin faces

Well, You have to walk the walk now and finish this thing if you are going to run your mouth.  I do like his confidence and he has been this way all year, so bring it now.

Wow. Now OSU is REALLLLLY going to play their very hardest against us.

These guys are openly wearing “Revenge Tour” shirts and people are actually worried that Higdon gauranteeing a win will provide extra motivation to OSU?

The “be careful what you say” bus left a long time ago. 

Send it!

Don't understand the hand wringing in these post. Karan's "guarantee" is not going to affect the outcome, not one bit. I am sure some OSU players will give him an earful if he is tackled for loss or if they are ahead in game. Does not matter what is said between now and Saturday.  Only thing that matters is the final score. I have zero doubt Michigan is better team. Can they win the mental hurdle is the only question in my mind. Personally, what I witnessed this year since Notre Dame tells me this team is tough. How many teams get up off the mat like they did after Notre Dame and win 10 in a row? This team has shown so much grit, so much heart, I am not ever going to bet against them. I do believe they will score at least 34 points.  Only question is can the D hold them to less than 30. If so, Michigan wins.... Go Blue!

From the second we beat Indiana and a mic was placed in front of our players or coaches the media has been angling for someone to say this.

What do they expect players to say???  Now they have their clip that undoubtedly will be shown all week.

We WILL beat OSU!!!  

To those critical of his response, tell me what he should have said..."No, I won't guarantee a win. We could definitely lay an egg and blow this game."? He gave a very respectful answer that was effectively saying, "I believe we will win, and I can't see it ending any other way." Well said Karan.

Oh, well...considering our record against Ohio State since 2001, nothing else has worked...The Team needs to have his back...

Team - Please just stay focused this week and ball out Saturday and finally kick there ass. I’m tired of this, my son is 16 and has only remembered one time we have beat them. I’m tonokd for another loss. Go get them and play every play like it’s your last ever, because win or loose boys it’s gonna end for everyone.

Love it!

I was wondering about this. I think the upside of the guarantee outweighs the downside.

I only wish he was more emphatic!!!

Anyone notice how fired up he was after the hit on Edwards Saturday? During stoppage, he was alone on the field shouting at Indiana's sideline and pointing at the line of scrimmage or endzone when one of the UM coaches came and grabbed him. Evans took the next 2 snaps, both runs if I recall, perhaps in response? No idea but I thought it was a curious sequence. I was hoping the coaches would feed him immediately and let him get to work. I hope we see him do some work on Saturday...

The way the reporter baited him made it sound like Harbaugh guaranteed a win this week, when the reporter knew that might confuse a kid who wasn’t alive when Harbaugh made that guarantee in college. Oh well, Go Blue! Beat their golden pants and their tats right off of them!

Fuck OSU! I'd be happier if our entire team guaranteed a victory! Higdon is da man!

And to Mike Weber for rebuttal re: Higdon's guarantee?  I am not even sure where he is going here.  I guess when you are appealing to your base you have to go with children's cartoons and psychotic capitalization to get your point across.
