Hot take & snowflake: OU/LSU is a preview of UM/Bama
So... watching LSU year up OU made me turn back to look at the schedule:
- LSU (46) Alabama (41)
- LSU (23) Auburn (20)
I have a feeling that unless Bama really loses their focus, we better prepare to feel like OU vs LSU. Fighting hard, but after a mistake and bad ref break, staring down a looong and growing deficit.
I really wish we had a better matched bowl opponent like Iowa or PSU. Why, Bama... why?

Happy holidays to you too.

Don’t be a bitch.

”If you plan on a Michigan win, do the opposite”
December 28th, 2019 at 8:06 PM ^
Too late to worry about it now.
Just go fucking play and see what happens.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:26 PM ^
What's the worst that could happen? It's not like the world isn't used to watching Michigan get blown off the field.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
No loss to Bama can ever match the embarrassment of losing to South Carolina after blowing a 19--3 lead to become the only B1G bowl loss
December 28th, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
Because we can
December 28th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
What makes you think Michigan will score 28 vs Bama? The new offense that took 7 games to straighten out?
December 28th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
Have you seen how Clemson of all teams has a goose egg on the board vs Ohio State right now? We scored 27 despite costly mistakes. The most any team scored on Ohio State all year. We have a chance and I'd say 28 points is my prediction for how much we score vs Bama.
Now, can we hold them under 28? I think no but we have a shot, at least.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
We get run over just like the Wisconsin and OSU games. Their O-line won't be sitting for the NFL draft and our D-line is too small. They will run for 300+ yards. If their NFL draft bound skill players sit, we lose by 25-30, if their NFL bound skill players don't sit, we lose the first half by 25-30, just like Oklahoma tonight.
Our D-line is not up to this task unfortunately. I don't think we have an edge at any position on the field except maybe special teams.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
Special teams? Did Alabama miss EP’s to kill momentum? And I am not talking about the Orange Bowl 20 years ago.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
Stop using “we” and invoking supreme knowledge of the players’ mindsets. You have know idea of those young men are up to the task. You only have an opinion.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:17 PM ^
We’ve all watched this season. Pretty clear they aren’t up to the task. Don’t have to be inside anyone’s mind to see that.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
Get off your knees, wipe off your mouth, and support Michigan football!
December 29th, 2019 at 12:25 AM ^
Wish I could upvote this twice

Thanks for sharing

QUIT
FUCKING
WHINING!!!
December 28th, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
I'm beginning to think it's posts like these that are holding us back.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
Man you are such a whiny ass bitch.
why don’t you grow a pair, otherwise put your dress on so I can put you on the corner.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
Lookout we got a real alpha man here
December 28th, 2019 at 10:57 PM ^
Okay Susan.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:29 PM ^
It’s not going to be that bad. There are plays to be made against Alabama’s secondary, especially with Collins and DPJ.
But I also saw Bama’s backup put up around 350 passing yards and 4 TDs on the road against what I think is a better defense than what Michigan has. Hill, Thomas and Metellus are going to get eaten alive against what is probably the deepest WR Corp Alabama has ever had.
I think the offense will make some plays, but this has got 49-28 Alabama written all over it. I have a very hard time seeing Michigan hold up in the trenches against an extremely good Alabama offensive line. Najee is going to fucking run wild on Wednesday afternoon.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:03 PM ^
This sounds about right, unfortunately. I will, of course, be delighted to be wrong.
A minor note: I don't think Hill and Thomas will get embarrassed by Bama's receivers, but whomever is covering the third guy (you know, someone like... Jalen Waddle) is going to get torched like dry brush in a wildfire. I would expect Metellus to get roasted at least a couple of times (pay no attention to people who get upset at the idea of a safety ever covering a wide receiver, though) and for a couple of quality photographs of Vincent Gray watching for two yards away as Bama receivers catch the ball for big plays.
Michigan is going to give up serious points. A scenario where Michigan wins isn't impossible, but it's unlikely, and it involves some unexpected but key defensive stops and the offense putting on a performance that reminds us of Lloyd Carr's last game.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
Yup, we're going to give up points, that's inevitable. Both teams who beat Bama this year gave up over 40 points. The key is score over 40 points yourself. I'd feel better if we'd put up 40 on Ohio State who has comparable talent. But I think we lose a 42-28 type game
December 28th, 2019 at 8:34 PM ^
Most likely but Michigan won’t score 28. Probably 10 points at most.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
It will be bad. Gattis will perform well until Bama adjusts. The defense on the other hand will get battered and thrown over, under, and whatever the hell they want to do. Brown may adjust by 4th
December 28th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
You’re such a pathetic, negative bitch!
December 28th, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
Fuck you pussy!
December 28th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
Bring it, ass clown! You’re a pathetic, whining CUNT who doesn’t deserve to be a Michigan fan. I’ll tell it to your face, text it to you, tell you over the phone, email it to you, fuck I’d pay a mothetfucking sky writer to paint it in the fucking sky over your house and there ain’t shit you’d do about it cuz you’re nothing but a whining CUNT!
December 28th, 2019 at 11:54 PM ^
+1 for passion.
December 29th, 2019 at 1:07 PM ^
Yep, Private StenCarlson is silly and ignorant, but he's got guts, and guts is enough.
December 28th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
So... Looking at your hs gpa and test scores I have a feeling you didn't get into Michigan and now you're trolling to try to compensate for your lack of intelligence.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
Go read a book nerd! Mom wants your lights cut out at 9
December 28th, 2019 at 9:31 PM ^
Go suck more cock you fucking whining cunt!
December 29th, 2019 at 12:47 AM ^
This is pathetic. There’s so much pathetic in this thread, but you UNCWolverine, you found a way to make this about the most pathetic thread I’ve ever read on this blog. i hope you feel better about your intellectual superiority
December 28th, 2019 at 9:15 PM ^
If both teams play to their best 42-20 seems about right. That's not a knock either that's just the talent disparity in each program
December 28th, 2019 at 9:19 PM ^
Why do people feel like they have to protect their ego by convincing themselves that UofM is going to get blown out. Own your fucking team. Don't be such a bitch. You only can be the best by beating the best. Its such a LOSERS mentality. It also makes you come off as a soft weak person. This is a great opportunity for Michigan re-write some narratives. Yes, UM could get blown out. But don't use it as deflection to give yourself sanity after a loss. If you need to do that you are a mentally unstable human being who should probably not be watching sports.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Put down the crack pipe and watch football. Blowout dickhead- your playing Nick Saban
December 28th, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
Well said. The number of people in here engaged a “Most BPONE Contest” is truly pathetic and bordering on pathological. Nobody beats themselves with knotted ropes like Michigan fans. They claim that love the program and yet all they do is predict doom and shit on everyone associated with it, and who expresses optimism.
Case in point from SC above.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
Go to hell. Sorry, don't really mean that. It's a metaphor. That being said, Go to Hell.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
You are a huge pussy.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:37 PM ^
Here's a thought, root for your team and let other fans do the bashing. Our role is to believe and support the team, not peddle this pathetic defeatist bullshit.
Whine and cry when the game is over, not before.
December 28th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
There’s a difference between cheering for your team win or lose and false confidence
December 28th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
and there’s a difference between thinking a win might be a struggle due to the opponent’s talent, and continually shitting on the program and predicting a blowout.
Do I think we can beat Alabama? Absolutely ... if we play our best football and the players make some big plays. Can we stand toe to toe with them and exchange punches? I don’t think so. The team is going to have limit the mistakes and take advantage of all the opportunities that present themselves.
