How many wins for TSUN in 2012's regular season?

I think some of you are giving them WAY too much credit after that fluke last season.

I saw Losses at bama, msu, and tOSU.
and 40 to 55% of a loss at Iowa, Nebby, and NoD.

I say 7-5 is base and I put money on 8-4 to hedge that.

I'll be completely blown away if he makes it out of the Alabama game without any injury.

I'd agree with you if he played the whole game and Hoke ran him the whole game. But when it's 17-0 in the second quarter, Hoke's going to realize he has a whole season to play, and he'll shelf DR (at least he won't be running him much).

Sep 01 vs. Alabama (in Arlington, TX) Texas Chain Saw Massacre. NO WAY is Arlington, Texas a neutral site. That place will be filled with Confederate flags, RC Cola and Moon Pies, Dale Earnhardt wannabes and fat ladies in Spandex. Throw in the fact that Michigan has the most wins in CFB because of 63 games they played before Alabama was even a state, the result of the Civil War, red state - blue state, Big 10 V SEC, Denard for Heisman bull shit, all of which will be an integral part of the pre and post game hate fest. The Alabama band will consider doing Script Fuck Michigan.

A very unfortunate choice for an opening game. I anticipate an embarrassing loss for UM and the BIG. I fear the loss of Denard for the first half of the season. This will be a capital L

Sep 08 Air Force 3:30 pm ABC W - If there are enough starters still playing, Gardner should be able to get them by AFA.
Sep 15 Massachusetts 3:30 pm BTN - Another W. Hell UMass isn't even good enough to be in the Big East.

Sep 22 @ Notre Dame 7:30 pm NBC - W If Denard is still alive and can play I like Michigan's chances. I just want to watch Kelly turn purple and explode as the Domers eat another shit sandwich.

Oct 06 @ Purdue 4:00 PM BTN W - Sad to see what has happened to this program since the coaching change. Danny Hope(less)
Oct 13 Illinois 3:30 PM ABC W - I think Illinois is the Sparty of this decade.

Oct 20 Michigan State TBA L - If Alabama didn't kill the 'lace, ol' #2 will be head hunting. It won't matter to him if it's a clean play or a cheap shot. Look for Hoke and Dantonio to get into a post game brouhaha over dirty play and who's Little Brother now.

Oct 27 @ Nebraska 8:00 pm W - IF there is anybody left who can play QB. Far from a sure thing.
Nov 03 @ Minnesota TBA W - The gophers would be a middle of the road team in the MAC
Nov 10 Northwestern TBA W - The Wildcats are just too thin in mid November.
Nov 17 Iowa TBA W/L - Iowa has won something like 2 games in AA since WWI, but maybe they get lucky this year.

Nov 24 @ Ohio State Noon ABC L - Payback, roses- to symbolize the bowl the Buckeyes should have earned- will be everywhere.

I've re-watched the Va Tech game twice. Someone clearly found a way to hold Denard to a couple of big runs, but the guy gets away with four hail Mary's and then the refs on the field and in the booth totally screw the gobblers.

I don't know what to make of Dennard. He's exceptionally quick for the first ten - twenty yards and there aren't very many players faster for the rest of the field. BUT he makes horrible decisions in throwing the ball. He was unbelievably lucky last year in terms of TDs to Ints. There is no doubt that he can score from anywhere on the field, but there's also no doubt that he's vulnerable.

Anyway, I got them at 8 and 4

Michigan was NOT an elite team last year. Let's be completely clear about this. They are also very likely NOT going to be an elite team this year.

Yes they got a good recruiting class last year, and they managed to edge out the worst Ohio State team in the history of Ohio State football. They're still going to be hampered by shortfalls in defensive and offensive talent and Robinson's terribly inaccurate arm.

Their offense is composed of practically the same players (besides the OL, if any of the freshmen play) who managed to score between 3 and 10 points on Ohio State the past 4 years (before Hoke). Tressel is gone for us, which would be a huge blow, but with Fickell and Withers and our defensive talent, there's just no way Denard will be able to score against us or any competent defense (Alabama, Michigan St).

If the rest of the Big Ten hadn't been out playing golf instead of recruiting for the past 5 years, I feel like 6-6 or 7-5 would be an accurate guess. Unfortunately, I foresee 8-4 or 9-3 - followed by a blowout loss to any quality OOC bowl opponent.

One thing to consider it that our division is a joke this year because of the Ohio State and Penn State situations. That, however, doesn't mean Wiscy is going to suck and is perfectly capable of derailing Michigan should they meet up in the CCG.

Our division is a joke because of us only. I don't want anybody thinking penn state had any kind of shot at the title.

Who's to say he isn't taken out by a blindside shot by an unblocked LB early in the 1st. I'm just sayin', with the speed that Abalama (SEC!1!!111!!11) has, it wouldn't surprise me if they are pinning their ears back and trying to tee off on Turdlaces head.
