Nothing like a bucket of cold water in the face. Welcome back to reality UM.

That won't be official until The Game but it's a start.

I have to admit that I was leaning towards wanting Michigan to win this. I also have to admit that I was wrong. This is far more worthy.

Your welcome.

I think that is what Bama's defensive plan is.....

I agree, but this Michigan team was built for RichRod's read option rushing attack and bubble screens. To completely take that away makes no sense. It may not (probably won't) work, but it's all you can do with Shoelace, a 5'6" tailback, and these receivers.

Denard is working on the fadeaway deep balls; good for him. There is no way this team is the #8 team in the nation.

Does Bama have 13 guys on defense?

Denard prefers congestion. There's no way any other spot had a second defender.

Damn, did he even look like he was running FULL SPEED?!?

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

bama offensive players have better tackling abilities than the scum players.

Is this real life? This is too good to be true

Your welcome.

I love this one.....


GO BLUE! In Arlington for the game. I have seen 6 other Michigan families at the hotel, and finally saw a Bama family checking in today. I told them "all shucks, you are so great, you should win by 17 pts" -- all this knowing full well that a Brady Hoke led team doesn't get beat like that. Remember Ball State vs Michigan in 2006? Remember SDSU vs the great TCU? Even though he lost each of those games; his teams had vastly less talent. Bama has great talent, but not so uneven vs Michigan today as Michigan over Ball State or TCU over SDSU. You get the point. I'll sandbag and play underdog, but Coach Hoke will have his boys ready.

And denard was quite poor at running it.

Denard was good at QB sweeps & QB power sets where he had 10 blockers.

His read option plays were much less successful, in part because they often had to tell him before the snap what the read was.

To completely take that away makes no sense. It may not (probably won't) work, but it's all you can do with Shoelace, a 5'6" tailback, and these receivers.

They've tried the bubble screens, they've barely worked (though moreso than most sets).

Oh good, Alabama felt bad and brought in their own micro back.

I say GOTS DAYUM....

Illegal block right by the QB - some fuktard from SCUM just got obliterated...

Michigan's d-line. This is the football equivalent of getting stuffed in a trashcan next to the hot girls' table at lunch.
