MICHIGAN

Atleast we share one another's pain being Tigers and Sux fans.

How's the white trash cell park going?

tCell is just fine and still a great park to see a game. I'd guess I made it to about 7-8 games this year.

 

[craigk217]

Your team has been just as trash the last 5 years.. You been destroyed in every BCS game you've played in because you were frauds.. Also just because we mostly destroyed you clowns when we played you the last 15 years doesn't mean you have to rip us and post that score when UM was obviously down..

Almost forgot ... FTR, finishing the season as the 2012 #1 team in the nation and playing in the NCG is far from trash, unless trash has a different meaning that I'm not aware of.

The big prob was having to play that year's NFL's 33rd team for the crystal. Was.Not.Pretty.

 

[Acrux]

Well, we can't because we already lost to Utah.

you could still get to #2... hell if I care what your record is at that point.. it'll just have another L after that game.

I guess they are dead set to go to the big dance, haven't given up a score in 12 quarters. They appear to be the only team that can play " Balls Up " The rest of us don't know which ways is up!

This game doesn't prove much to me. They beat the crap out of a highly over rated team and took care of business. Michigan is a good team, but they really only played 1 high calliber opponent and lost that game. Time will tell how good they really are but this one win was not Earth shattering.

Northwestern beat both Stanford (who's currently ranked) and Duke. I don't think they were over rated.

would you be concerned if your little town laid directly next in line of a storm that left no survivors, nothing standing, in the last three towns it struck?

I happen to know a certain couch in ATL that is very concerned about that storm.

The fact, that any team can take 3 teams undefeated in this day n time should raise eyebrows, your welcome to continue life in your cave

Play that game again next week would we get the same result? I doubt it!

The real question coming into this season was "how fast can Harbaugh coach this team up to their potential?" Which while a whole lot faster than most people thought, wasn't fast enough to get that win week 1. But even then, remember Michigan was driving for a tying touchdown when Ruddock throw that pick-6. Losing week 1 on the road to a top 5 team by 7 points isn't anything to be ashamed of.

People keep saying "time will tell" with this Michigan team, well halfway through the season, playing 3 quality opponents, and pitching 3 shutouts, how much more time do you need? This is a very good team, at this point the real question are they playoff good?

I am not nocking what Michagn has done, I knew Michigan was for real earlier. A win over an over hyped Northwestern squad does not make me buy in any more or less. Its a solid win over a team that will not end in the top 25. Same can be said for LSU who hasn't played any real competition yet. I don't think Michigan is a playoff team as of now. In a few weeks I could easily be singing a different tune.

How is Northwestern "over hyped?" They were only ranked 13th, which given their wins over Stanford and Duke seems about right. And let's not Northwestern out of the race for the Big Ten West, there is a damn good chance Michigan will face Northwestern again in the Big Ten Title game, which if Northwestern were to make it they would most definitely end the season in the top 25 (if not higher).

You answered your own question in the next sentence:

They were only ranked 13th

 

[Codaxx]

I am being to wonder how good the Pac is this year. Stanford got ranked after beating a top 10 USC team.....oops. Utah is ranked, but Cal was 20 yards away from winning after 6 turnovers.

I don't buy either Stanford or Duke. Northwestern is alright, but if you sit there and line them up against the teams they were ranked ahead of in the top 25, I'd be shocked if they beat 30% of them.

In college football everyone sucks.

I don't know why people forget every year.

It isn't like I'm saying Stanford and Duke were great wins for Northwestern, but they were still quality wins.

As such if we were to match up Northwestern against teams currently ranked 10-15, they've already have wins against two (the aforementioned Stanford and Duke), and I would like their chances against Toledo, Houston, Cal, Boise, Iowa, Ok. State, and Notre Dame. So at minimum that gets them somewhere within the top 25, maybe not particularly high, but well within the rankings.

You answered your own question in the next sentence:

Ummm, I don't think many people were saying that Northwestern was under-rated. "Over hyped" implied that they were more than the 13th ranking, which they should get back somewhere near that by season's end.

 

[cwerph]

Get used to this: So and so is really good and will give you a good game. Then, you beat them like a turkish prisoner and all of a sudden they suck.

You're welcome.

 

[nddulac]

Just making a point, that's all. This is far from my first day on the internet. If I got heated about everyone who posted something childish, I'd never have been around to meet all you fine people.

Oh yeah? Well - this is you:

It might be my expectations, but I don't think the Pac has done great out of conference. Then ASU looks dredful in OOC and then beats UCLA. I expected the PAC to contend for the mythical best conference moniker this year. I think I might have been mistaken

I'll be surprised if Northwestern even finishes in the top25.
