I think that Ohio State is the better team. That said, if Michigan's front seven get off and can limit Smith, I think that they win. That is the key to this game imo. If OSU's OL dominates, OSU rolls. If not, Michigan eeks out a tight one late. I am rooting for Michigan in this one.
A missive from a Special Forces Brother who is also a proud papa of a Buckeyes daughter- Twas the night before game time, And all round the shoe, Not a creature was sleeping, They were screaming Beat Blue. The banners were hung by the lamp posts with care In hopes that St. Troy would find Ginn through the air. Drunken and crazy and burning their beds, While visions of kick off danced through their heads. When all of the sudden there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the keg to see what was the matter. When there in the sky, in a Coupe Deville sleigh, Was Woody Hayes decked out in scarlet and gray. He looked on the crowd that was gathered around, And said that he heard that a game was in town. I came here to watch it, and wish you good luck. Though it's not like you need it, cause Michigan Sucks!
Yesterday, I would have said Ohio State. But, with Bo Schembechler passing today, the emotional motivation is likely to be on the side of Michigan. Tough call, but ........ Michigan in a squeaker.
I thought the same thing, but I don't know if today's kids understand and appreciate the legends like they should. I know a bunch of alumni will be fired up but I don't think it reaches the players much. It's sad but history and tradition don't mean as much as they used to.
I ain't gotta dog in this race, but I agree with sdc...I don't think Bo's passin is gonna be that muchuvan influence.
i think michigan wins it... i have said it before the only team that can defeat osu this year is michigan...
33 - James Laurinaitis - LB - Ohio State True sophomore. This kid is going to be good. ~~~~~~~~~~ Earlier in the season, I really liked #45 for Michigan, LB Harris, but you can see the talent difference comparing the two ILB's. Harris isn't near as instinctive or have the explosion of the OSU sophomore.
...followed by a roughing the CENTER on the punt...hadn't heard that penalty :no: :icon_shrug: :icon_huh:
