Michigan writers take on BIG east

So why are we even playing the Ohio St, Nebraska, Mich St and Wisconsin games if it is decided we have already lost. Nebraska is breaking in a new coach and will be trying to turn a spread QB into a pro style guy. Let's play the game before we give up. Mich St and Ohio St are absolutely nasty, but that doesn't mean we have already lost. TTFP took Ohio St to double OT last year. We get tOSU as the last of 8 consecutive games for them. We get MSU off of our bye week. Wisconsin is tough on the road. Our run defense will really need to improve because if you make the Badgers a one-dimensional team on offense, Stave isn't beating you. That being said, they are very big and physical up front.

Actually I figured that 3-9 Michigan squad from I think '09 or so was worse, but what do I know...

That was 2008. Maybe he is six years old, so last year was the worst Michigan team in his lifetime?

Wow - Michigan does have nine QBs on their roster this season.

The Michigan game is a tossup this year. No Gardner or Funchess = their two best playmakers on offense last season. They lose both starting DE and their MLB. Their secondary returns (plus Peppers), but they were no better than our WR last season. New head coach typically means an adjustment in the first season, too.

Thank you, BaseballFan, we have to have some of the most pathetic, glass empty fans in the B1G! They are so used to having and dealing with mediocrity, personally or otherwise, that they can't even set high goals for their own team.
Fan, from the word Fanatic! We are not called Rats, from the word rational, for a reason. It's FANS!
So, I'm saying 10 and 0, until proven otherwise, by actual play on the field! That puts me on top of the World right now, and I'll deal with tomorrow as it comes!

I think we lose at Michigan because I believe they have slightly better talent, it's a road game in a huge stadium, it's a revenge match, and Harbaugh is a better coach than Flood. Could we win?.... sure, but I don't think so, just my opinion.
 
Rossi must drop scoring by 10 points/ game and 100+less yards allowed.
Last year we let up 30pts/game and over 440yards/game this is just not acceptable.
