Hate to say it

If we played Ohio right now they'd beat us by 30.

Our team does not compare to their team in almost any way. Maybe our tight ends are better.

Wow, I just don't have any good thought about how this game will go this year.

Even this Sayerday here in the cesspool scares the shit outta me.

I think we win the rest of our games besides these 2. So I guess that's my way of saying these 2 games are the make or break for us.

Now, I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! My Bears will not lose. That's good.

As always,


LET'S GO BLUE!!!!!

I don't stress over a game 5 weeks away.  Got to beat MSU this week.

The crazy thing about Ohio St. is how much depth they have. Their 2nd stringers were making Penn St. look like a JV squad. It is disheartening to think that is the same Penn St. team that beat Michigan two weeks ago.

I knew Ohio St. was a tier above us going into the season. Ohio St. is very much in the National Title hunt, and I don't think any of us felt Michigan was on the level, yet. I feel like Hoke is building a program, though, and hope we keep him around long enough to see what he can do with these elite recruiting classes. In two years, for the first time in 15 years we may have a team with more future NFL players than Ohio St. I'm willing to grind me teeth through this growing stage to be able to see that.

Michigan RBs carried 30x for 28 yds against PSU. OSU RBs carried 31x for 267 yds vs PSU.

I think that about sums it up.

And after watching Oregon last night.... If we do get to the rose bowl we'll either face Oregon or Stanford.

Oregon will blow the doors off of our D and Stanfords lines on both sides of the ball are the only lines in the country that can make Bama worry. Either way it would be a tall task and I'm sick and tired of playing teams that are heads above us to get embarrassed on the national stage.

I'd be willing to worry about it if we got there, but I don't think we're going to have to worry about it this year.

I got Oregon vs FSU in the NC game.

Unfortunately I agree with you shoes. Right now, I don't see us beating the Pukeeyes once, let alone twice. I really think the rest of our season, including the Pukeeyes game, is going to depend on what kind of game Borges calls. I think the defense will be able to at least keep us in the games. But, if Borges goes back to his hard-headed, bull shit offense then we will be in trouble in all 5 games. JMO!

Go Blue!!

I would love to see that, but just curious, who do you have beating Bama?

Go Blue!!  

Possibly LSU and maybe the SEC championship game.  I just hope no SEC team is in the NC game.  

I also think Oregon and FSU are the two best teams I've seen this year.

That sure would be one hell of a game.  It might be the first one to 100 wins!!    

Go Blue!!

at the begining of the year I picked Oregon vs Clemson. My backup pick was Stanford vs FSU.

I have a shot to have half of it right both ways.

I also think Bama will lose a game this year. I also think either LSU or the SEC champ game. O$U's weak schedule won't get them in if there are two other undefeated teams.

You guys honestly have Alabama losing a game?

The main thing the PSU/OSU confirmed to me, which I already knew, is that PSU is just plain bad. It took our offensive coordinator losing his mind to stubbornness (and still a miracle after that) for us to lose to them. OSU is the class of the conference, but their defense is pretty vulnerable.

This is my view to a T.

yep I have a feeling that either LSU will beat them @ Bama or they will lose in the SEC champ game. Also I could see them sleeping on Miss St and that being a close game. Especially since I think Miss St might actually come out of this two game stretch (SC and TAM) 2-0. That would give them all the confidence in the world to beat Bama at home.

I don't know if I have ever seen a Saban-led Alabama team "sleeping" on any team, let a lone a team that just pulled upsets vs SC and TAM. I think people really underestimate them with the idea that "they have to get worse eventually, right??". This team is better than their National Title team last year.

I typically carry thoughts throughout the season of:

a) we're going to beat their asses

b) oh shit, they're going to beat our asses

c) I don't know what the hell's gonna happen


But, really, C is the only legit answer. You're never know what's going to happen in a rivalry game, especially the biggest one in all of sport (IMHO). Too many times in the 1990's we wrecked their perfect seasons with some pretty mediocre UofM teams. Hell, they damn near came in and upset us a couple years ago with a 6-6 team.

You just never know what's gonna happen.

But I'm extremely happy that it's home.
