0 Well, that was fun playing the best last night. F*ck that. Thanks Brandon for scheduling that game. I'm all for playing the best, provided we are ready. Brandon had to know this Michigan team would not be able to compete with Bama, yet he went ahead and scheduled it anyways. That's being a poor AD.
Go Blue!!

You would rather play more out of conference games against Toledo and Appalachian State?
If you want to be one of the "big dogs" you have to play and beat the "big dogs". Michigan vs Alabama was the was #1 out of conference game this year, they were the talk of college football. They were the prime time game and had a TV national audience. I wouldn't be mad at the AD for scheduling Alabama, I'd be mad at the previous and current coach for fielding teams that were not able to compete with the top teams. I was actually envious that Michigan had the primo game this year. Years past Ohio State has had the big nonconference game (i.e. vs USC, Texas, Oklahoma, etc.) Did Ohio State win all those games? ...No. but (remember) it's better to play in the big game and lose, than to never get to play in it.
