It’s been a wild ride. But he shows that you need to give a guy 7 years to do something. Sark will be fine in 28

All I keep seeing is that Ohio state and UGA are the real game this playoffs. Also it is played before the other game. Undercard before the main event.

Ohio State is still a really good team, but all this talk of Ohio State is the only team that can beat UGA seems to lose me a bit. The team that just got bombed by over 3TDs at home is the only team that can compete with UGA? When the team that beat them by over 3 Touchdowns at home, is also in these playoffs? Ohio State could win, if they turn the game into a track meet and don't settle for FGs. Stroud seems to get really shook really quickly though so if UGA gets after him and they fall behind, it could also get out of hand really quick.

QBs that can scramble on 3rd and 13 for the first down have been beating Michigan for 20 years. Duggan is scary. Their secondary seems legit, but I just don't think they have enough beef to handle the back to back best offensive line in the country, especially when they add two extra tackles and a TE. This is a game where Michigan could really use corum, Edwards is great, but he hasn't shown he can be that 30 carry back like Haskins last year or Blake this year.

It seems that all of the hope that TCU has for this game was that they bottled up Bijan and Texas. 30 yards on 12 carriers or something. Michigan had 10 yards against Ohio State in the first half, and didn't abandon the run just kept grinding and got 240+ in the second half. I guess TCU could sell out to stop the run all game and keep Michigan in check, but I think even then there will be enough play action deep balls from JJ that Ohio State got the same dose of.

Fiesta Bowl: Michigan vs. TCU, NEW YEARS EVE, ESPN, 3 p.m. We are a day away from the playoffs, and TCU just can't stop talking shit. It is almost like they forgot that they just lost their last game. (Kind of like one of the other playoff teams). As a Michigan fan Duggan makes me nervous, I think he will hit a few deep balls and convert some 3rd and should have never been converted, with his legs. Michigan played bend don't break against O$U and slowed down what should be a better offense than what TCU has. TCU has not faced a ground and pound game like Michigan, I just don't see TCU being able to stop Michigan enough to win the game. Michigan 38- TCU 20.

So how does this work? If you were on the last Women's WC team you get a share of this one as well? Or is it who is currently on the team right now? Seems like it could be manipulated if it wasn't WC to WC.

yeah I am all for equality if it makes sense, but if we started paying WNBA players the same as NBA players, there just wouldn't be a WNBA because no one wants to operate an under water league at more of a deficit. Ultimately TV deals are what is going to pay for all of this. There isn't much of a market for womens concacaf 9pm tuesday night games. So IMO paying them the same as the men who have multiple networks vying for the deal was a bit short sighted. IF and Huge IF, this is true we shot ourselves in the foot by agreeing to equal pay.

Richt smart. Potato tomato.

They absolutely have the most talented team. I think Harbaugh is the better coach. Up until last year Richt was known for choking. Last year his coaching didn’t matter because they were just completely stacked.

Michigan is going to keep it a lot closer with UGA than they did last year. That’s not saying much but they play a completely different style of football this year. UGA lost 5 first rounders on Defense. They probably have 4 more this year, but the D is definitely worse than they were last year. I also think it is a positive that they crushed Michigan last year. Not that Harbaugh took them lightly, but he has a lot better idea of what is going to be coming at him. JJ is waaaaay more dangerous than Cade, and Edwards is going to be one of the better backs Michigan has had in the past 20 years with his ability to catch out of the backfield. Minter has an NFL style defense which he goes into the games mostly playing a vanilla defense to see what the other team is going to roll out and then adjusts at halftime and just smothers the other team. The ball control offense of 5-10 minute drives means less touches for the opposition which at the worst will keep a game with UGA close. TCU’s defense looked pretty rough against Kansas state, the inability to tackle is going to make it very hard to contain michigans running attack or stop their TEs. So I feel pretty confident that Michigan is going to get a shot at UGA again.

There is no regular season big ten winner.

It is like Harbaugh told JJ to not run at all. He has had lots of wide open real estate and just hasn’t pulled the trigger.

Michigan is running a completely vanilla offense today. I don’t really get it since they showed so much last week so the film is out there. Also, not really worried because they have outscored opponents in the second half 210-23 so I expect this game to go very similarly.

The federation is likely to look at the cups won in the last year and qualifying as results. That is what scares me. This team has actually accomplished a lot. Most of it because they play in concacaf. They just blew it in the World Cup. I definitely want Gregg gone but the usmnt has had a hell of an 18 months that ended today. Should he be gone, absolutely, but my gut tells me they are going to keep him around. Especially since we don’t need to qualify for 26

Yeah I think this should be it. Especially if they go the “no rematches” route that they did last year to justify pairing Michigan against uga in the first round, instead of uga having to play bama in the first round.

Zimmerman and JF into the staring lineup. Sick fucking moves Gregg. Shittiest part of all of this is getting out of the group probably means we are stuck with this fuckhead for 4 more years. What a joke.

Just stopping by to say how fucking horrible Jesus is. He literally brings nothing. Has the worst first touch I have ever seen and is constantly right on top of another player clogging up space.

I don’t think that was wood you knocked on. Not that I am too worried about an Ohio state rematch I just think it would be dumb as shit to play them again after they just got beat by over 3TDs at home. Put them in the 4 seed and fuck bama. TCU should remain 3 with a win or loss today. A two loss bama over TCU who will have beat every team they played is fucking dumb.

You have to be shitting me starting Jesus.

Blake Corum had season ending surgery. I was really hoping he would be ready for the Playoffs, but apparently a knee that was good enough to give it a go now isn't.

Maybe we can trade you Card for Cade straight up. Works out for both schools, you can give Ewers a year to learn to lead under Cade, and Michigan gets a really solid backup that wasn't a 3* 1000+ rated recruit that they took a flier on when their top 100 guy had to medically retire.

Well, that is a good reason to come to Michigan. I thought Texas would be a good place to play school and be warm though.

Rumor he is going to visit Michigan... If he is transferring for playing time, why would he look at Michigan with JJ? if he wants to come up North, Iowa or Wiscy seem like way better fits for him to compete to start.

We are talking about Michigan over Ohio State if Michigan loses to Purdue.
