I'll play... Lifelong Wolverine, season ticket holder. I'm quiet because I know what is coming. It's been the same for 20 years now. I used to have the occasional hope coming into Thanksgiving weekend, but not anymore. Completely worn out. I'm one of those that believed that Harbaugh was the only answer for a program still reeling from the last years of Lloyd Carr (esp the loss to App State at home), and the debacles that were RichRod (3-9 first year, with home loss to Toledo) and Brady Hoke (just, ugh). Either he would restore the program to a level where we would compete every year for the Big 10, or we would be relegated to being another Tennessee. That answer seems clear now. On the 7th year, nothing to show for it. Continues to roll out 'serviceable' QBs. Nice and safe. And boring. Beating up on nobodies, then getting brutalized by OSU/MSU/PSU (last weekend notwithstanding). No excuse for losing to MSU when up 16 in 3Q. I do think we got screwed by the refs on that strip sack/TD at the end of the first half, but I digress - coaching still lost that game. Have not played in the B1G championship game ever, nevermind making the CFP. Haven't won the conference since 2004. It has just been brutal.

I'm pulling for OSU over MSU, as it is the only path for the Wolverines to have anything on the line at kickoff against OSU. Of course, they still have to show up against Maryland first (not really that confident, even though they should win). I want to know if they have any fight at all against OSU with something on the line. But after watching yer boys absolutely stomp Purdue with all aspects of the game, I just know where the smart money is placed. Henderson is going to break lose with some long runs. And somehow, some way, your receivers will find a route that we simply cannot stop and will not adjust for, and you will light us up with it, over and over and over.

If a miracle happens and we actually win, I'll enjoy it, for sure. But it is going to take a minimum of 5 years of UM at least trading victories with the Buckeyes (and MSU/PSU), and competing in the losses, for me to feel like we are back enough to spar with anyone. Until then, I'll be the quiet one.

As a lifelong Buckeye, the overall tone of this post warms my heart like a burning couch.

I figured you would enjoy that. Rest assured, most Wolverine fans are not the practical realist that I am, so you might just have to settle for a smoldering couch.

Squandered I tell ya!!

In the annals of time that victory will be but foot note not worth remembering because you couldn't close the deal!!

Rule #22 - You have a wedding and a reception to seal the deal. Period. No overtime.

I hate to break it to youbut 24-1 is here to stay.

They are looking good going into the end of the regular season. Made it look pretty easy too.

Buckeyes roll! Bama looks like they will prevail, Army rolling … big Saturday! Michigan week is here ….

[tmothy07]

Fun fact of the day: this weekend will be the 24th meeting of Ohio State and Michigan where both teams are ranked in the top 10, the most of any series.

The areas that worry me the most about The Game as an tOSU fan are their D ends and the possibility of exposing a bit of our secondary. However, we did well again Purdue and they are a very good passing team. Our o-line has been able to keep Stroud up and dissect opposing teams secondary. Last week was fun to watch him. He has made a gigantic leap in the last few games.

Cade is averaging 200 yards per game in all their wins. This is because Haskins has been productive to help balance things out. In the MSU loss, Haskins wasn't as effective and you had to try to beat them with Cade's arm. It didn't work. If tOSU focus's on stopping the run, I don't think Cade can beat em. However, this is the The Game and all records and everything is throw out the window.

If TTUN can do enough to disrupt along with tOSU adding mistakes (like what happened a bit in the penn state game for tOSU), then this one is close.

And also let's call the CFP what is it, it's the 4 most-(ish) deserving teams and not necessarily the 4 best teams. Or perhaps a combination of the 2. I know certainly the reason Notre Dame got in last year was they thought they were one of the best teams because their certainly didn't deserve it IMO. What a joke to get in after getting owned in a conference title game.

What happens if the tOSU TTUN game is 3 points or less decided? The big ten title game seems to be a bit more of a formality at this point. What happens if the SEC title game is 3 points decided?
