    Germ....

    It appears Gardners throwing shoulder is injured... What are you hearing, will he play or is it going to be Sugar Shane Morris?

    Also hearing two of your LBs a dinged up?

    What are you hearing and thinking about the game?

    OSA will win by 40.
    Auburn is going to beat Alabama

    FSU vs OSU NC game
    FSU wins by 20


    unless the BCS system put Auburn ahead of Alabama based on the Win. OSU won't really earn any points against Michigan.

    Your last sentence doesn't really make sense following your FSU OSU prediction.

    That said, Oh St wins easily, as does FSU and Bama... Manziel knocks off Mizzou, and you eventually end with a great matchup of FSU Bama in the natty C.

    Yea....throws me off a bit rereading it too.

    What I was trying to say is that if Auburn beats Alabama, it will be interesting to see if Auburn moves past OSU based on the strength of the win.

    I don't think it would happen, but I would love it though.

    The crying from the OSU fans would make my heart sing.

    I take no credit away from OSU. They are on a heck of a winning streak, the players are dedicated to the program, and they have a good coach (to most people.)

    The biggest argument is their strength of schedule. the Big 10 was awful this year. MSU is playing in the B10 game because of their defense that held up against all the terrible offenses. Now, if OSU puts up 50+ points in that game, I may bite my tongue a bit more, but to me they haven't played anyone

    This is exactly how I feel. Except ill go as far as to say there is 99.999% chance of it not happening evening with a win over Bama.

    I wouldn't expect a fan of a tradition-less team to understand a rivalry game. ;) But, yes... People still care. UM would salavge their season and decimate tOSU's with a win.

    I meant outside of Michigan and Ohio.

    Neither team is really playing for anything, so it is not like it matters.

    Considering these two programs battle for many of the same recruits and the same recruiting territories I would still say the game matters and are playing for something.

    I think we're going to get our *** kicked.

    Both LB will play and so will Gardner, but it really does not matter.

    Michigan is playing for nothing correct, Just like LSU. Ohio is still playing for something and I hope they win go to the NCAA Championship game and kick the living crap out of SEC team

    Is it just the OL play that is causing all of the problems on offense? You have some good players in Gallon and Funchess and Gardner has flashed at times. Just curious where you think the trouble is? I watched a part of a few games (ND, PSU and MSU) but not enough of any to get a read.

    I know better than to just discount a struggling UM team. UM destroyed many seasons for OSU even when OSU was heavily favored.

    This issue is Al Borges, he's a moron. The play calling is atrocious most of the time. I am a dumb IT guy and I can see what Michigan is going to do 80% of the time. Gardner is either not smart enough or Borges is to arrogant to let him check out of plays. I have watch Michigan try and run into 9 and 10 man fronts all year. 8 cannot block 10, it's simple math.

    Fitz is a good spread back, but Green and Smith fit better, yet we start Fitz week after week, expect for the week we rushed for over 140 yds, we started Green and ran Smith most of the time.

    Al Borges is
    Fat,
    Arrogant ,
    Incompetent,
    Lazy

    FAIL, he consistently runs 2-3 wr in 20 yd routes with no hot route in case Devin gets blitz.

    We have change our OL more times than Lady Gaga changes outfits at a concert.

    I could go on and on
