Game Thread: #13 Northwestern @ #18 Michigan on BTN 3:30

[Chasin' Utleys]

They alreast lost once.. Way to high-jack this thread though dope..

If you have to lose, losing to an undefeated team ranked #5 in the AP polls is the way to go, is it not?

And two more to go

 

[Chasin' Utleys]

I would rather have a new recruit in there.

Zack Gentry will be our starter next year....a blowout today maybe enough to help us snag all-world defensive end Rashan Gary...

Are you referring to the two teams that struggled to beat Indiana and Purdue?

After Michigan State plays Maryland we can compare the two schools based on their performance vs. a common opponent, small sample size but hey the game's next week...

I have to admit, Michigan is legit.

They would have to destroy MSU for me to favor them over OSU, which I doubt happens..

I'd wait until Michigan loses to talk shit, but you won't be here after that happens.

We have been getting beat up a lot on the boards. True, a good start doesn't mean anything ... it's how you finish. However, things are looking up in Ann Arbor these days.

Next week shit gets serious.

That wasn't directed towards you.

Which?

Which?

GO BLUE!!!​

OMG, this happened. It should be pointed out, Michigan scored more points against NW today than they've been scored on in total this season. In addition, this is the first 3 consecutive shutouts for any team in CFB since 1995.

GO BLUE!!!​

I'm rollin' with some 12 yr Macallan tonight, if they beat MSU I will up it to Glendronach 15 yr (green tube & bottle) and if they beat OSU I'll crack open a bottle of Macalan Ruby...

Glad to know that even though we're on opposite sides of the aisle politically, we can find some common ground somewhere!

Don't bet the ranch that we are that different politically. I detest liberals and I am disgusted at my country for electing an ego maniacal asshole like Obama. However, I don't consider myself a conservative either. Opposite side of the, definitely not.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

I am a believer in Michigan now.

If they get another shut out this week, wow.

Dont I remember reading on here somewhere in pre-season that Michigan had a pretty good defense last year? If so, they've stepped it up another notch.

Michigan did have a pretty good defense last year. This year, they are just a lot better. The defense was the only reason we were even in many games. We had an OL that struggled to block, a QB who was prone to panic and TOs and a running game that couldn't get off the ground.

When you take a good defense and keep them rested, they become a very good defense. Plus, Mattison is an excellent DL coach. He has done really good things with the big guys up front.

 

[UM Fire]

Would you rather have Morris at the helm?

 

[GNG]

A very overrated Northwestern team in my opinion .

With any luck, we can use this to flip Kareem Walker too. It would be nice to get the #1 DT and #1 RB, especially since the former is #1 overall.
