| FTBL "Michigan by Eight"

[It Takes Eleven]

It's a little second hand - not Ferris Bueller quality - but Harbaugh's sister lives in Kansas City, and Jim was in for a visit this past weekend. It's just a few doors down from a long-time friend, and he's conversational with the sister's husband (Harbaugh's brother in-law). Said Jim was very confident in the game, and pronounced, "Michigan by Eight".

When Jim says it, got to be so he knows football. Or that’s just French because he has our signals…

I bet nick has got any chance of that fixed...

I think he's too cocky. he's doing lot of talking, and on Bama's side, you don't hear them doing the talking at all. The more michgian talks, the more I'm convinced Bama is going to get this.

I heard this about Bama being a +1.5 point underdog. Because, LV has Bama as the un derdog, then Michigan will win. This from a Mich. fan!

When bama is under dog...they do just fine

By the way, Bama has been ranked #1 at some point during the past 15 seasons. That steak will end unless Bama wins it all. The challenge to extend it to 16 consecutive seasons starts with Michigan and will hopefully end with Saban holding up the NC Trophy while long faced longhorn fans slink away into the night.

What I want to know is, who is the home team?
If my memory isn’t failing me, we have a near perfect record in playoff games when we wear the white jerseys.

Michigan is the home team.

The white treats us right!!!!

 

[UAgrad93]

Those Road whites are so clean!!!

The white helmets really set it off.

Uh, no!!! Saw it a few times under Perkins and I didn’t care for it to be honest. I love that Crimson headgear with the white stripe and white numeral !!! Cool as the other side of the pillow!!

Let harboy and players, former players and some sports radio host named “huge”(I hear he’s about 4 hundred pounds and an ass as wide as a church pew) run their mouth.

I'm going to say this each and every time I can.

“Huge” also said that “Bama didn’t know what was coming” when we beat the crap out of Michigan state in the capital one bowl.

Here's an example of why I laugh at some people and their "analysis."

"Just look at Auburn, 6-6, and how Bama struggled."

Without saying it, they are suggesting Michigan changes their entire offensive scheme. Freeze and his misdirection? It's all he's coached. Harbaugh, and his approach? Hasn't changed.

While you can script a few series, you can't change the team.

Bama and a lot of team's struggles at AU....Bama especially...to win...is a relief

What michigan hasnt had to deal with is....a QB like Milroe...and a HC like Saban...
Looking at Big 10...( with no telling how many teams now)...there are several sec teams they would struggle with ...because of big fast mobile QBs...

We will need milroe to play a great game....

Not really. He can play a Greg Mac game and Bama takes this one.

I've only begun to look at this game...and I don't see how they move the ball against defense other than a few scripted series. The game, while shortened, will look closer than it is.

I'd find the video but I'm cooking a pork loin today...along with a few things.

Two games this season I've seen teams quit when one of their defensive players got a "Jalen stiff arm."
