I'll be looking forward to Mr. Carroll rushing for 150 yards with 15 tackles, and 3 sacks with a fumble recovery this week.

That is a possibility that we will lose....it wouldnt be the worst loss in the history of football losing to the second best team and all.......and if it happens I want my Rose Bowl TIX, LOL

Buckeyes win this game 27-13

I think the Buckeyes will contain Hart and I don't think Henne can beat this Bucks team.


Can't wait for the game!

Did you guys hear on the SC/Ore game on Sat. Pete Carrol stopped doing Turnover Tuesdays...........

And made them Turnover Wednesdays now! I like Cal in that game to give USC what they have coming. USC was undefeated and had their destiny in their hands when they lost before, what would change in the Cal game this week besides Cal is a much better team than beavers and USC will be without one of their stud RBs? That will be second best game on the board.

heard a stat on espn about how states defense is much improved--at least statistically to the amount of ints going into LY's game and this years (something to the tune of single digits last year vs a number like 17sh TY)---i'm sure someone out there can correct my numbers.


right off the bat -- thought something would befall one of the two squads LW--and thought indiana was more capable squad vs mich as opposed to struggling nw team w/sutton as only true weapon vs osu. as it were both seemed in control throughout.

thats said---osu was on some ridiculous ats streak until i believe they were caught by bowl green if i'm not mistaken--then again vs illinois. and i'm sure there were a lotta close calls (ats wise at least) along the way--though one in particular stands out, was the penn st game TY when was low scoring affair throughout until ost returned two ints for TDs at end of game for cover.

i think gman2 right on about being able to bottle up pittman--if you can force him to run to his right--as something like 90% his big gainers come from bouncing it outside to left. ginn is great--but seems to have regressed a lil---which when you're as good as he is: translates to still being very good. i mean he should truly be contending for the heisman--though is clear troy takes it--even though i think he loses here. and quite frankly is just fine that state not needing to ask alot of ginn to get it done--as team finding ways to put up points and win.

honestly--i've forever had doubts about michigan qbs for as long as i rememeber back--grbac and such. maybe the pocket passing system in that they throw long as much as they do (which i dont mind) though decisions on occasion leave me baffled as to what they were thinking /seeing that prompted such a pass. henne in my mind is no different.


manningham is huge--and breaston never looks like hes even trying to run with his gaite. now thay have a solid third receiver with arrington breaking out as of late. osu is one better as they has two solid #3 guys in robiskie and now hartline.

hart is as hard nosed a runner as i've seen ty--even though i still believe the backup kid they got there (grady) has potential to be better--as few times i seen is jus a wreckingball of a back--
++??though might be because running against tired def's at end of game??

i havent seen alot of mich games TY and watched as ost controlled texas enough to notch win---though the tex rb's looked like they had another gear everytime they got anykinda daylight> whihc leads me to believe mich defense is the difference here. ost opputunistic on def--though mich the better unit as whole.

long story short...i know about troy smith and his running ability--great touch on passes and mistake free decision making and jim tressel and still think gonzalez probably has the best set of hands in cfb (behind only nd's smardzijda)--though tougher. gut says something is amiss in this game-



--is why i believe the michigan wolverines win outright--i wont predict a score--but jus have that feeling that michgan gets it done on SAT>

People can bitch all they want about the hype, but this is the biggest college football game we've seen in a very long time. The biggest rivalry in sports (per SI), #1 vs #2 in November (happens once every couple decades), Heisman on the line, etc etc etc.

Winner is guaranteed spot in NC game...........

I would think its impossible for there to be a bigger, more important regular season game. Possible to be matched maybe, but not surpassed.

Don't follow either team very much, but I have a question. Who has the edge on special teams, but more importantly, FG's?

I see the kicking game playing a HUGE part in this one.

can it really be the game of the decade when there is a chance that they might meet again in 5 weeks for the title?

how hilarious would that be listening to brent musberger

"we know the game of the decade was the last time these two teams played in november.....but THIS is really the game of the decade here in early Jan!"

sorry, just sick of all the game of decade, greatet ever, worst loss ever, best qb ever, etc......bs that gets thrown around all the time.

like OHIO ST. to win the game.

could be by 3 or 14 pts. this will be 1 game i'll kick back ~ eat some wings & drink some beer. no $$ wagered on this game for me.


BUCKEYES ~ N. DAME IN TITLE GAME :shrug:


wox my man, you couldn't keep me from betting this game.

I don't care what the line is I take the Bucks every year when they play those blue devils. I grew up in Toledo, Ohio having to put up with as many if not more fucking meeeeeeeesssssiiiigan fans as Buckeyes fans.

God I hate michigan, it's great betting OHIO since Tressel got there and handed them their asses 4 out of five
AND HOPE HE CAN MAKE IT 5 AND SEND LOYD THE WHINER BACK UP NORTH WITH A BUCKEYE SHOVED UP HIS ASS.


GO BUCKS

Its not that easy when you look at Michigan and their schedule. I dont see 1 quality win outside of Wisky, and Wisky has played nothing but the Big 10 either...

At least Ohio State beat Texas at Texas...

UM +7 just looks way too easy. Anybody have any %stats on what people are betting? I would guess that most are taking the points.

the 3 places I look all have MICH 53%,58%,53%. very rare for all 3 sites to back the dog. When they back the dog this way the chalk is the play. the line does seem to much and that usually means lay the points. I like MICH but my gambling instincts say Ohio St.

Ohio st beat Tx with a freshman QB the first game of the season. What do you see in their schedule. Both these teams have not played great schedules. Mich did go to ND and Wis has 1 loss.
