Well last week they had Wisconsin by 22, so i guess they were only 41 points off. Wow those guys are so smart. Plus, you have to know that Vegas Odds are in place to "Influence and Balance" betting, Right? Its not an actual guess on the final score.

Jim My guess Michigan barely beat Indiana, and michigan and indiana have both gotten better since they played, so im going to guess since indiana got beat 83-20, michigan will do much better in a 82-21 loss.

At Northwestern you have to have excellent SAT score and a grat Bio to get in. At Michigan to get in to school they ask you to spell cat. If you are over 300 lbs and want to play football they spot you the "C" and the "A".

Um Wisky is playing to their strengths. They don't have in-state speed, they don't have in-state athletes with huge athletic talents. But Wisconsin has a lot of big, fat, nasty, people who play like on the offensive line. That could be a problem.

GettingBluer: Consider the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl. It's within driving distance of Ann Arbor. No need to spend out for a hotel. You'll be home for dinner and (if you're lucky) you might get a coupon! Lefty: "Point-a-minute defense." That's a good one. I'll pass that one on. It will get a laugh in Columbus. RobbieBoyfriend: You're right. Referring to game "highlights" is literary license by the author.

With determination, perserverance, tenaciousnous, and a little luck, our defense should be able to hold Wisconsin under a hundred IF our offense can stop turning over the ball. We're going to a bowl game? It'd better be within a 45 minute bus ride...

So, Rich's "point a minute defense" finally held somebody to under 35 points? Wow, now that's progress! I expect Wisconsin's NFL caliber offensive line to make hamburger out of Michigan's non-existent D-line and linebacker corpse. OOPS! I mean corps. Prediction: Wisconsin 84 - Michigan 22. After the game, Rich and his Michigan homer apologists on the radio will want everybody to focus on the 22 point performance by the Michigan O.

I think the rain and chilly temperatures caused a lot of offensive problems for both teams. On a day like yesterday, the defenses are going to look a lot better than they really are and the offenses are going to look a lot worse than they really are. Still, I think the two bad interceptions by Denard were mostly poor judgement on his part. We should have been doing more short passes in this game and not trying much to throw down the field into coverage. That probably would have worked better than trying to hammer the ball into the middle of the Purdue line all 2nd half. But, I was very happy with the win. Now, Wisky will be a very tough team to beat, but still possible. They are known for being hot and cold. And I think their big blowout win over IU can work in our favor - IF they come in overconfident and the stars line up in our favor! Go Blue!

I didnt get a chance to watch the game since I live in NW iowa and the horrible minnesota illinois game was on. It sounds like the D played a lot better and the offense looked like last years turnover prone team! Maybe the weather is the big issue in this game but that really is just another sign of not being prepared. I remember in high school playing and the coaches dunking the footballs in a bucket of water and making us practice with them soaking wet to get use to it so we dont fumble and can get use to throwing it! Then again one of the few flaws with the spread is that it has to be ran perfectly with timing, reads, and speed or it doesn't work and bad weather typically effects the execution negatively. Good luck against wisc. next week because it looks like the D may be in for a long day again.

Good job by the D. O needs to hold onto the ball. On to Wisky.

This game had highlights? It was like watching 7th graders play their first game. 3 wins in the big ten, I guess that's improvement, as long as you don't actually watch the games.
