I’m going to keep this brief…Saturday’s game scares the shit out of me, more than the USC and National Championship games combined.
It all started at the beginning of last year’s college football season when Michigan lost to Appalachian State…all of the sudden, anyone could lose at any time no matter the opponent or venue. I mean, this was the case all along, but come on, did you really think that Appy State had a snowball’s chance in hell against the no. 5 Wolverines in the Big House? Hell no. Now, it doesn’t matter how bad a team is because that vision is still extremely clear in my memory.
There is a recent precedent for a matchup like this from last year’s Notre Dame vs. USC game. Michigan’s collapse this year has almost mirrored the downfall of Notre Dame’s last year, down to the roster turnover and lack of senior leadership, only ND wasn’t installing an square peg offense to fit their round hole personnel. USC pummeled ND last year, so why am I nervous when the gap between Ohio State and Michigan is pretty wide itself?
Because I still remember Appy State.
As an OSU fan, I know embarassment. Yes, the last three very high profile were awful, but IF Ohio State loses to Michigan Saturday, it’d be far worse than any of those. Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.
On paper, it’s not close. Every objective bone in my body tells me that it’s going to be a vintage Ohio State game where Beanie and Pryor rack up yards on the ground, minimal passing outside of a play action bomb and sheer domination of the time of possession. I couldn’t imagine OSU’s D giving up much to an offense that either lost or failed to gain a single yard on close to 40% of their snaps, that just doesn’t make sense.
So why am I nervous? Just because of that slim possibility that OSU’s spread-retarded D gets torn apart and Michigan’s defense plays out of their skull. I gotta stop thinking these thoughts, I’m just killing myself here.
Anyways, prediction time…
The weather is probably going to suck balls so I don’t see much happening via the air so that sets up well for OSU. I think it’s going to be closer than you’d think just because this is Michigan’s entire season and they’re going to be amped up and ready to go. I think that Michigan hangs around for about a quarter and a half, but just can’t sustain it. The fact that Sam McGuffie’s status is up in the air and Threet is probably not going to play bodes well, but I’m not entirely confident.
Plus, a 20.5 point spread? Damn that’s huge. Tressel doesn’t do that shit and run up the score like douchebag Urban Meyer and non-douchebag Pete Carroll so I doubt it’s going to get that out of control as the Vest will probably just run ISO after dive after draw until the clock runs out, so, even though it pains me to say, I’d take Michigan if you’re a betting man.
Go Bucks…beat Michigan.
PS…this probably read like shit by my head is all fucked up and I’m sick as shit, so…sorry, I guess.
If he doesnt try and run it up, why did Wells injure himself against Troy?

Tressel doesn’t run it up? Ha!
you really need a bigger picture.
ok, so maybe tressel runs it up.
whatever, still think it’s gonna be close.
Spencer, the parallel from Notre Dame last year to Michigan this year is a spot on observation.
It will be even more spot on when Michigan loses to Ohio State Saturday to finish 3-9, just like Notre Dame last year.
that referee on the ground almost made me lose my lunch.
cbh…that must make me the 1,000,000,000th person to make that observation.
What are you a girl? Can’t take a compliment?

Did you guys know Michigan and Ohio State are playing this weekend? First I heard about it.
Dick Rod sucks.
Hef, in case you didn’t know, Michigan and Ohio state are playing this weekend.
Michigan fans are showing their true colors. It’s easy to be a fan when your team wins all the time, grow some balls and support them when the times are tough.
cbh…yes, im a chick. excuse me, i need to buy tampons and whatnot.
Sparty, I can’t believe more people haven’t mentioned this. It’s the most important event evar!
Hef…maybe in your littlei sun-baked world of transplants and old people, things like college football traditions don’t mean jack shit to you, but to people who actually enjoy sport, it’s a big deal.
so stop being such a fucking bonerholster, mmkay?
ah crap, Diary of a Mad Black Woman is on at the same time. Guess I will have to DVR the game.
I would enjoy this, Flageyes Fans. Dick Rod is gonna make scary, especially when he starts getting his thugtastic recruits.
*make Michigan scary
“bonerholster”!!!??? Holy shit, I can’t stop laughing.
tears…down….my face….phone is ringing and I’m not answering it….
Easy for you to say you are a ND fan so either way your team sucks. Shut the fuck up.
Forgot to say amist my laughter:
GO BUCKS! MICHIGAN SUCKS!
so stop being such a fucking bonerholster, mmkay?
spence, you could have also gone with “cumdumpster”, as it also applies to hef.
Thanks for making no sense, as usual.
Either way, Notre Dame still sucks.
Enjoy.

these thugs?
One thing we do agree on is this moderation of the links crap needs to stop.
these thugs.
working on html skills
The fact that you are a fucking retard is a big factor in me not making sense to you.
What the fuck did I do to you now? Sorry you have a boner for every comment I make and feel like it is a personal attack on you.
cbh-it isn’t them. it is akismet, it is a WP spam filter.
you all need to go look at the Eagles cheerleader on my site and settle down.
or the BCS preview where spencer wishes tetanus on me.
Michigan still owns that ass. Enjoy.
and miz makes a heartless joke.
this sounds like cbh = (irish + maggs)/2
+JS sparty
A sure sign your team sucks dick, you reference the past.
Miz, I guess this doesn’t equal Maggs?
“Easy for you to say you are a ND fan so either way your team sucks. Shut the fuck up.”
I will reference the present. Notre Dame and Michigan both suck.
ill reference the future. sergio garcia wins 2 majors this year.
/not on topic at all? since when do i care?
No I reference a current(almost) record of the series.
we welcome and encourage personal attacks here at MLJ.
Tampa and cbh, are ya’ll gonna be bitching when we’re pwnin’ S&F’s ass in the company softball game?
we welcome and encourage personal attacks here at MLJ.
Dwight Howard loves nuts on his face.

A sports fan that takes that as a “personsal” attack.
that was more [(spencer)^2 + (Hef)^2]^0.5
spence…
you loading up on pro v1xs?
fucking clown…
Clown did I miss something did I get drafted?
Remember when this game mattered? It has now taken a backseat to BYU/Utah.
miz is going Pythagorean on your ass.
Fuck yeah tampa, you’re with our crew. 7th round.
I model my game after Frank Thomas so dont expect any D fence. I will be drunk by the 3rd inning.
mikey…i hate the proV1x’s, but the proV1’s, for sure.
that’s some fucked ass shit with callaway. i guess the only reason that titleist appealed was so they could hurry the release of the new, updated proV1 series before the holidays. acushnet (titleist parent co.) knew they ripped off callaway and played it pretty smoothly.
it isnt going to mess up titleist in the least tho.
I was gonna ask Tampa to go in on Sweep the Leg, 50% share, to be the most vile blog on the web. Nevermind.
Hef is an insider trader
you need to keep better records, clown. we got tampa in round 2.
Rick we should start a blog on Wordpress.
miz, that pick was taken away because you were videotaping our practices.
clown, I’ll give you a peso if you tell me who squealed.
