It may be "nice to be in their head," but it hasn't done a fucking thing for us since 2000. Hopefully, it all changes this year.
September 20th, 2016 at 9:15 AM ^
Frankly, except for possibly 2006, we haven't been "in their head" since before 2000; so, yes, it is nice to be in their head now.

13 years ago was a long time.

Michigan has not ceased from being in their heads since 2001. I would prefer to be out of their heads or just beat them again on a consistent basis.
September 20th, 2016 at 7:53 AM ^
yeah, the day they desperately want to forget about us is the day we've made some progress.

this just seemed to be a pretty good write up of a future opponent they see as formidable. Actually pretty good content.

Always great to see someone else's viewpoints.

Program dominance can be a fleeting moment in time and is considered as precious as it is fragile by rational Buckeye fans in my neck of the woods. Just take a look at USC, Texas, Miami, etc. Ohio State believes that UM is and always will be their biggest threat to maintaining a stranglehold on success in the midwest. So yes, you are in our heads and rightfully so. I believe this constant feeling of insecurity keeps Urban and the Buckeyes hungry, knowing that they can be dethroned as quickly as Jim devours a booger.
The loudest sighs of relief you'll hear in Ohio's capital always come the day after an Ohio State victory over your Wolverines. We respect this rivalry and our rival. And that means remaining cognizant of your program's status.

But I have to ask you, are you one of the delusional fans that thinks Peppers would sit the bench if he were a part of your team? If you are confused with this question click the link provided for the 11 Warriors site. Every fanbase has dumb fans but by golly these may be the dumbest.

That's just the result of jealousy and frustration that he chose to side with the enemy. OSU fans also like to mock his Twitter exclamation to "Suckeyes" recently, furthering their disdain for the dynamic playmaker.
From most everything I've seen, the dude is a stud. The moment I turned on the Colorado vs UM game, Peppers was in the backfield making a tackle for loss. Peppers would surely start at the safety position for OSU, and alongside Malik Hooker would create a very troublesome duo for any offense. I could also see him as our walk out LB, like Darron Lee. He would probably return kicks on ST.
However, alot of shortsided OSU fans think back to the 2015 OSU-UM game for evidence of Peppers' greatness. Quite simply, it was not there. Beyond some nice plays he made on offense, I don't recall Jabrill being all that impactful on The Game last year.
We're all curious to see what unfolds this November.

I've considered doing this, but don't know that I can swallow my vomit enough to watch an entire OSU game and then write about it. Also, my X's and O's knowledge is quite rudimentary, so I don't know that I'd have any good insight.

They are not "your" enemy. You're a fucking fan.
Goddamit...

Pretty good as usual. Thanks for the link.

Safety is definitely the biggest problem area for our defense, and if it doesn't improve quickly we are definitely going to have major problems with OSU (and Indiana). Certainly Thomas and Hill are athletic enough to improve but they are going to need serious coaching up if we want to win the conference, let alone make the CFP.
September 20th, 2016 at 9:18 AM ^
Hopefully, once Jourdan comes back, he can lock down and free the other DBs to help one another better. Also, I have a feeling Tyree Kinnell is going to start seeing more time at safety. I think he's faster than either of the starters, which may help cut down on the over the top throws.
September 20th, 2016 at 10:51 AM ^
and I can say that OSU's team speed jumps out at you right away. We'll need a healthy JL in order to even think about slowing that f*cking offense down. Bastards.
MSU on the other hand looks like a good matchup for us. Their team speed is similar to ours and I like the personell matchups for our defense vs their offense.
September 20th, 2016 at 2:24 PM ^
Mike Weber is a decent RB but Curtis Samuel is scary as hell. As the article stated, if he is matched up one on one with Dymonte Thomas, that is not a match up that will favor us.
On another note, I've been reading Michigan Monday since last year. It is always well done and entertaining.
September 20th, 2016 at 2:32 AM ^
play.

That's exactly what he needs to do. Woodson beat OSU almost by himself in 97; Peppers needs to take one back and play out of his mind in The Game.

May I ask why it is sooner rather than later? So far this year they look interchangeable with Alabama as #1 or #2.
September 20th, 2016 at 9:21 AM ^
Delusional much? LOL!!! Well, at least now we know that Harbaugh's staff is of High School quality. No doubt Meyer and his gang of college only coaches are so much better than Harbaugh's NFL dropouts...
September 20th, 2016 at 10:55 AM ^
That asshole had to be referring to Partridge... That's the only thing that makes sense there.
September 20th, 2016 at 6:23 AM ^
It also means that while Don Brown hates it when people call his defense "high risk", it has proven to be "high reward" with some offenses. He needs to protect his players better. I'm imagining Ohio State matching up their slot receivers like Curtis Samuel against Michigan's safeties — or linebackers — and it's not something that will end well for the Wolverines.
i think he hit the nail on the head, and only time will tell.
September 20th, 2016 at 8:02 AM ^
Yeah, the "standard" Don Brown defense is not going to work against Ohio State.
If your plan is to aggressively blitz JT Barrett while your safety's are alone to cover Samuel and Noah Brown, you are going to have "Across the Field" ringing in your ears all day Sunday.
You will need to play sound assignment-and-contain football, keeping Barrett in the pocket and the receivers bracketed. We will see how good Don Brown is with that kind of defense . . .
September 20th, 2016 at 9:53 AM ^
David Terell and Ron Bellamy into playing DB in nickle and dime packages. They always covered the outside receivers, and the CBs moved inside since that was the tougher assignement. I've read that's what we'll do with Jourdan Lewis, move him to slot corner in those packages and let Stribling and Clark cover the outside. I'm wondering why we haven't made an adjustment to have Clark or Stribling do that in his absence. Maybe we just lack the depth at CB?
September 20th, 2016 at 7:10 AM ^
Most importantly, however, it means that Michigan is 3-0 and they finally got to face some adversity. They didn't buckle. They needed a bit of a struggle and they're better for it. Now they are ready for Big Ten play.
I tend to think that game was a decent mental test of this team, and they not only adjusted, but as Tony said, they didn't buckle and eventually took this one more or less running away. That's exactly what you want them to be able to do if needed, and seeing them simply not give up or blink really was comforting.
