THE GAME notes, and 2 Large Plays

[CWood97]

Well, this is the big one, 100th meeting, Big Ten title (and much more for OSU) on the line. Tressel going for three in a row. Navarre playing for his legacy at UM. On paper, UM is a better team , but we all know that means squat in these types of games. That said, a few numbers that stick out in my mind:

10-0: Lloyd Carr's record against top ten opponents in Michigan Stadium (13-3 overall)

0-1: OSU's record in ranked opponents' stadiums in '02-'03.

15-1: Carr's record against ranked Big Ten foes, in Michigan Stadium.

6: PPG UM is allowing at home this year.

The two plays for this one:

UM -300 15x

I can't see Michigan losing this game at home (in C-bus it would be a whole different story), but I also can't bring myself to lay 7 points in this series.

OSU UNDER 17 points 7x

All the talk this week has been about the OSU defense, with good reason. They are great. But don't underestimate the UM D. Athletes abound, and the best pass D in the country. I think they are feeling overlooked here, and they will be VERY fired up. If the UM O and special teams don't put them in a bad spot, I can't see OSU scoring more than 10.

GL all, except Buckeye backers :thefinger

here's another one

OSU is 0-3 the last 3 games at Michigan when they (OSU) are ranked in the top 5.

GL on the ML....I'm laying 6 1/2.

Matter of fact, I'm leaving for AA right now.

Leaving soon myself mademan. Don't forget to check out the hoops team tonight at Crisler, 7:00PM. I hear this Petway kid is unreal.....

 

[The Big Tease]

while you are posting records.....

John Navarre 0-2 versus Ohio State LIFETIME!

One solid shot to him and the boobirds start and his confidence is shot.

I cant fault your bets....they might win.

I wish I could say Good Luck....but I wouldnt mean it, lol

 

[CWood97]

Well, I can tell you one thing tease, I won't be booing Navarre win or lose tomorrow. Its his last game in UM stadium, and while he has his limitations, he's improved immensely and given all he had for the last four years. I expect 99% of UM fans who will be in attendance feel the same way.

Posting one more play:

Iowa +2 for 3x
