Nebraska vs. Michigan - the battle of the disappointments!

Who's excited for this game!? lol

No matter how bad we suck, Nebraska/Michigan brings name-brand football.

The Big House will want a win either way.

Loser of this game can kiss a Jan 1st game goodbye.

isn't the Michigan QB banged up for this game? I see Nebraska pulling this one out if Gardner cant play.

Yup

Looking at Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl at best.

Either of these teams would get their shit pushed in by Ohio State. Better hope MSU takes care of business against Nebraska.

GAME OF THE CENTURY!

If only the year were 1997.

Why, because Ohio St beat Wisconsin?

Ohio St was supposed to push Michigan's shit in last year as well. 26-21 Final in Columbus. Only an ignorant fan would discount a rivalry of that nature.

Wisconsin would crush either of them also.

I am glad that Michigan State stepped up to be at least the 3rd best team in the conference. Michigan State could be second or first too, have to wait for the CCG.

preseason rankings
17/17 Michigan (peaked at 11/12 in Week 3)
18/18 Nebraska (that was their peak)

I haven't quite giving up hope of a victory on Nov 30th. True the odds are against Michigan, but how many times throughout the history of The Game has one team had national title hopes, the other barely limping along, and it is the latter that wins? Not to mention this game is at Ann Arbor, so while Hoke's away record is troublesome, he is undefeated at home (and last year's game was a lot closer than the Buckeye's care to admit).

Here's a creepy thought for any Spartan fans out there:

During MSU's bye week, Sparty fans are going to be watching this game and probably be rooting for the Wolverines to beat Nebraska in order for MSU to get a bit more separation from the Cornhuskers in the Legends race.

Spartans rooting for the Wolverines.....eeek!

Because neither of these teams are very good, and Ohio State is better than last year (and has won its last what, 13 B1G games?).

MSU doesn't have to root for Michigan. They just have to beat Nebraska.

who is disappointed?

Who thought either would be good Besides the fanbases?

Even though only the most optimistic. Ask most Michigan fans at the begining of the season to predict the record, most were saying something like 9-3 or 10-2. And long behold they are right on pace for that record.

I had predicted Nebraska to be 10-2 with the easy schedule. I actually thought 9-3 but without having Wisconsin or Ohio State on the schedule, I was optimistic.

After the first Nebraska game, Wyoming, a few Nebraska posters, me included, quickly realized how bad the defense was going to be.

After UCLA, the meltdowns began and I changed my tune to 7-5.

Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl Bound. Arizona is not bad in December. I was there one December cold snap. We rode in the golf cart to the course. Bitter Cold with a 30 MPH wind in my face. The course was closed for a frost warning and I had to wait two hours in the clubhouse for the course to open. I drank hot chocolate while waiting.
