Well, of course. How nice to face a defense that isn't a pesky hindrance!

Hey shoelace, you seem like a real sharp guy that would know a good deal when you see one; I've got this ocean front property in Arizona I'm looking to sell pretty cheap. Want to buy it?

OK, I'm a worrier. This week I'm worried:

1. that I'm so confident the Bucks will win.
2. That the Bucks will be too confident.
3. That TP is banged up. If he goes down do we have enough offense?
4. What if Boom goes down? He seems to be the only back who can run behind this O line.
5. Michigan's defense is capable of playing the game for short streaks, what if the Bucks start slow and then their D gets hot and we're down 14 and in a shoot out?
6. Laugh all you want, the Michigan offense has proven it can score on anyone and they've played against some decent defenses.

Then I think nah, the Bucks have one RB, Michigan has none. Michigan has two QBs who can light 'em up -- in either direction. Michigan gives up big plays, the Bucks can hit on Big Plays. Michigan has no defense, the Bucks have one of the best.

There, I feel better.

Mon AM TJBlog: 2000

I give you: the 2000 season, OSU game

The Michigan 2000 Season incl. lineup

It was a year when the U-M-D had a couple good LBs but was iffy, especially in the defensive backfield.

Going into the OSU game, U-M was 7-3, averaging 34 on offense, but in three of their games the D had given up 31, 32 and 54 (to Northwestern, I'll never forget that game, my brother's wedding day - he almost called it off, I had to push him onto the altar)

Michigan went down to Columbus and put up 38 on an 8-2 OSU team that went into the game averaging 30 and giving up 16.

From Wikipedia:
In the 2000 game, Michigan grabbed a 31?12 lead and held on to win, 38?26. Michigan junior quarterback Drew Henson went 14 for 25 passing for 303 yards and three scores and added a touchdown run.

This is a decent season-model for this season, and The 2000 Game would be a nice game to model this Saturday, I'd say ...

It would be nice.... only problem is that 2000 team had Hutchinson,Backus, Foote, Hobson, Terrell, Drew and Anthony Thomas among others.. That team also had a place kicker and prior to OSU held 6 other teams to 1 touchdown or less including two shutouts. I do not see the comparison with the 2010 team. We can hope and dream and look for great effort....

you may bet it, but you don't know it ... the oddsmakers have nothing to do with the eventual outcome

Simply Put:

The Michigan offense has to have their best game of the year, 5-6 TDs with 2-3 in the first half.

Maybe they'll do it, maybe they won't -- but it's certainly not impossible.

Tues TJBlog: 1996

Gonna Party Like it's 1996?

1996 Season.

After opening the season 4-0, U-M then went 3-3 over the next stretch ... ... ... so The Wolverines were 7-3 and on a 2-game losing streak (a 9-3 slog-loss at Purdue, and a 29-17 bad-home-loss to PSU) as they headed down to Columbus to face the #2 ranked, 10-0 Buckeyes.

The result -- Michigan stunned OSU, 13-9

Wikipedia:
The Buckeyes had high expectations again entering the 1996 (Michigan-Ohio State) contest. They boasted an unblemished 10?0 record and were ranked #2 in the nation as they entered the finale with Michigan. When Ohio State jumped to a 9?0 halftime lead, the OSU crowd sensed a special finish and perhaps a rise to #1. The Wolverines' defense shut the Buckeyes out in the second half while Brian Griese replaced the struggling Scott Driesbach and led Michigan to 13 unanswered points and another victory over their rivals, 13?9. The game would turn out to be the Buckeyes' only loss of the season and ended up costing them a chance at a share of the national championship.

***Note: the purpose here is not to find exact-replicas of the 2010 season ... that's impossible. But Michigan fans felt just a hope-less going into the 1996 game and the 2000 game as many of you do now -- that's the partial-point.

The rest of the point -- despite how disconsolate U-M fans felt going in, U-M went down to Columbus and pulled out seemingly-unlikely wins.

did you not read my "note?" There are "buts" now, there were "buts" then ... my purpose is not to predict a win, it's just to show that despite the feelings, all is NOT lost before the game is even played ... even tho it feels that way to you.
Who was OSU's coach in 1996?

To me... that is the BIG difference. Sorry... JT doesn't lose games like that. Hope I'm going to be wrong, but... he just doesn't like that "guy-before-him".

yep ... in my IMO, it's definitely time for RR to stop being "born under a bad sign" -- definitely ... so far, "if it wasn't for bad luck, he wouldn't have no luck at all ..."

I can still picture last week's 2 onslde kicks, each just laying there with M-Men seemingly surrounding them

:lol: One of these days we'll get an in my opinion IMO
I am tired of the losing..The buts, and all the excuses...How can we expect this team that is giving up I believe 40 points a game in Big Ten play to pull this one off...Players are dinged up and might not play..Tom did you notice last week, that at one time we had five true freshman and two walkons playing defense for us ...This is not a Disney movie where there is a happy ending..I hope I am wrong, but right now on D we are over matched...

Tressel is a perfect politician, tell you what you want to hear, act like you are above all the fray, then close the door and put it to you. His background at Youngstown State quite frankly should have prevented him from getting a shot at any self-respecting, rules abiding University. At OSU, welcomed with open arms. Not only the cheating, the utter disregard for the college game. Ex-professional soccer players who are 28 years old as your kicker, your backup QB is a former pro baseball player, and I think is 26, etc. Not illegal, but shows he has a win at all cost approach. But, gets on camera and tells you how he respects the rivalary and the game. No, I dont think he's classy, but he is the perfect coach for that university. If you cant tell, I dont like anything about him or them.

:lol: They are really running out of excuses up there. However, it should be noted that this post appeared in a thread with a lot of wolverines talking about their respect for Tressel.

Tressel is a real dick for recruiting players that are eligible for college football. Michigan would kill for a kicker as good as Barclay.
