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
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
