It’s probably the half empty Angel’s Envy speaking, but I’m actually looking forward to a high riding, confident (arrogant) Xichigan coming to Columbus.

Maybe being home dogs, having to listen to endless hype toward your ONLY RIVAL sparks something within...


...or I probably need to sleep this off.

At this point, my only positives thoughts on this is home field, likely underdog role and over confident team coming to the shoe. I still don’t have a good feeling about it considering the way the last few weeks have played out but I wouldn’t rule it out a W, anything can happen.

If Urban gets this team fixed between now and then and gets a W, he should automatically receive the Ferentz award.

add to that tsun has limited to no difference making skill position players on offense and as a team have played 2 good/decent teams on the road; ND and Northwestern. They lost one and damn near the second.

It isn't like OSU doesn't have the better collection of talent. If it all decides to click and play with it's head out of its collective ass for one game they can beat anybody.

Especially at home and especially in The Game.

I think it’s a coin flip game. The factor will be if you guys can run the ball or not. If you guys can get Dobbins and Weber going, then we will be in trouble. If you become one dimensional with the pass, then I like our chances due to our pass rush and the ability to score on d (we have 4 picks returned for tds this year). Michigan will give up passing yards because Haskins is so damn accurate. Giving up 300 yards passing is fine if you get 5+ sacks, get crucial picks, and don’t give up redzone tds. What’s not fine is if he throws 5 tds.

Also, Michigan has basically played Tressel ball the last 3 games. We can’t do that against you guys. Harbaugh needs to open the play book more and take shots with Black (he is getting healthy), DPJ, and Collins. It will be an interesting game to say the least in terms on how it’s going to play out.

In addition to the usual barring of Ohio State coaches, I just assume that McMurphyGate is another automatic disqualifier.

If Ohio State happens to beat Michigan this year it may trigger one of the greatest fan meltdowns ever witnessed.

My coworkers aren't talking that much though (I live and work around Detroit). I think they are confident based upon the recent play of the teams, and I can't say I fault them, but they are scarred from prior years.

Thankfully, in case it happens, I have a vacation day on Monday after Tgiving.

I like to think you’re right, but right now I’m recalling when we collectively bragged that Michigan recruited talent, but the coaching staff didn’t improve them. This year that seems to be the case with the Bucks, a ton of talent that hasn’t been “coached up.”

I have never looked at tsun the past 10-15 years and thought they had a bunch of under performing talent. The rip on tsun has been how poorly they have recruited since Rich Rod.

OSU has had units under performing compared to talent off and on through Meyers tenure. This year is just the most acute.

Let's let them play The Game before we start bragging/serving helpings of humble pie.

I earnestly hope you’re right, but based on what I’ve seen so far this is a team out of sync. I know The Game is played at an entirely different level than the rest of the year, but a 20 point ass kicking would not surprise me. Maybe they crush Sparty, maybe the run blocking suddenly jells, maybe the back seven “play in space,” and maybe Santa visits Columbus a month early. I believe it can happen... maybe.

When you have been dog shot for the last decade every team on your schedule has kicked your ass at some time or another, some multiple times. If you are constantly good you may have a revenge game, but certainly not a tour like these as clowns.
