Game Thread THE GAME: #1 Ohio State 42, #2 Michigan 39 (11/18/06)

What do you think about Michigan's team this year

I think that all of this hype surrounding Michigan is gonna all go away once Michigan loses this year, people act like because Michigan beat the shit out of Notre Dame that they're that much of a threat, but Notre Dame is overrated, everybody seen that in the Fiesta Bowl. I'm not saying that they don't have a great team, but once they lose year, LLLLloyd Carr will be right back on the hot seat, and I don't that Michigan will beat us in the Horseshoe, what do you think of them this year?

I think they are a pretty damned good team this year with great offensive and defensive lines, as well a Hart, Henne, and Manningham.

I also think that LLLLoyd is still the biggest whiney ass in the history of college football.

They will be our toughest game this year.

Where are all those Lloyd Carr haters when you need them?

Wasn't so long ago every Michigan fan worth his weight in blue face paint wanted Carr gone. Now look where we are: Michigan is playing as well as any team in the country (when many believed it wouldn't) and headed for a showdown with No. 1 Ohio State in the regular season finale for all the marbles.
And when I say all the marbles, I mean ALL the marbles. The Big Ten championship, the national championship and Carr's job. Because if you think Michigan fans are loud and proud during an 11-0 start, wait and see how boisterous and bonkers they become if 11-0 turns into losing five of the last six to Ohio State.
I said long ago that Carr's resume is sparkling, that he has done more for Michigan in such a short time than any other coach in the program's storied history. He has earned the right to leave when he wants. But that said, I'm also a realist. John Cooper was fired because he was 2-10-1 vs. Michigan.
Don't think that 1-4 record vs. Tressel doesn't have a place in this argument.
And that's all the more fuel and motivation for a talented team that finally has found an identity and unwavering perseverance. TB Mike Hart is back to his freshman form, giving the offense balance and taking pressure off QB Chad Henne and the passing game. The offense is producing long drives and limiting turnovers, keeping an underrated defense from protecting short fields or being on the field too long.
Close seconds:
Ohio State: Seems like the Buckeyes simply turn it on when they need to. Key wins over Texas (now how impressive does that win look?) and Iowa have been sandwiched around a few laughers in games where it has to be hard to stay focused.
Florida: If the Gators are unbeaten through October, no team deserves the No. 1 BCS ranking more. Florida is halfway through a four-game stretch -- Alabama, LSU, at Auburn, vs. Georgia (in Jacksonville) -- tougher than any in the country. Who the teams are (LSU and Auburn very good; Alabama and Georgia solid) is tough enough. Playing them -- and surviving -- in consecutive weeks is the real trick.

osu vs. u of m

:oh:I think osu will probably find its toughest opponent of the year against michigan. however, osu will prevail against michigan in the second #1 vs. #2 battle of the season. osu 14 mich 7. then the buckeyes will sit back over the next couple of weeks and watch as notre dame is voted ahead of texas(nobody wants to see a rematch of that bloodbath) and quinn and the fighting irish will play heisman trophy winner troy smith and THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES and lose again, in tempe, at night, in the new western horseshoe.:io:

Nice first post Hawkman...

One of "our things" here at BP is keeping things organized. We'll be merging this with the Michigan Game Thread soon. Don't take it personally. After you've been here awhile and figure out how things are arranged, you'll learn to appreciate that we keep things "neat and tidy".

Welcome to BP

That is a fucking joke right? They looked less than impressive against Vandy, couldn't put away a poorly disciplined Wiscy until the fourth quarter and allowed a very mediocre Minny team to stay in the game as well. Give me a break, their one impressive win was against a woefully overrated ND team. I'll grant that they are much improved over last season, but to imply that they are playing better than a team that has beaten three ranked teams (two in primetime on the road handily) is a joke. Ahhh yes, there's that M*ch*g*n hate creeping back in.:biggrin:

Don't worry, they've already doctored up a 06 NC champs graphic over on GBW... this is a good example of why the magic wand in photoshop is not your friend.

Gotta love Henne's face :lol:
