crackattack 513 Posted August 30, 2018 It's that time. Who you got? Favorite team? Conference? Bold predictions? My Boilers start tonight. I'm hoping for a 6-7 win season. Back to a bowl game.

patweisers44 697 Posted August 30, 2018 Seeing a lot of high pre-season praise for Michigan State. Human nature as a Spartan fan is to temper that a bit. I can see them having a double digit win season, contending for their division and conference championship AND making the playoffs. I can also see them going 8-5 and playing in some BS bowl on Christmas Day or whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted August 31, 2018 *shrug* I'm a Michigan fan and I can't even remember the last time I thought they would contend for the national title in August. I considered the possibility of reaching the title game on the couple occasions where they were in the top 5 late in the year, but I generally expected them to blow it against OSU if not sooner.

Your defense is gonna be fantastic this year. If the O line becomes decent and Patterson isn't a turnover machine the sky could be the limit. Schedule is tough though for sure. If they get through ND, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Penn State and Ohio State they deserve all the praise in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crackattack 513 Posted September 2, 2018 An overrated Michigan team loses to a team that's notoriously ranked to high, that sucks. I always want Notre Dame removed from playoff discussion as soon as possible. Their schedule is weak as shitt this year, so they might sneak into the BCS. I hope one of these football powerhouses upset them: Ball State Vanderbilt Wake Forest Pittsburgh Navy Northwestern Syracuse And their 5 "ranked" teams, a couple are always overrated since they are from the PAC 12. Stanford and USC. So that puts all the pressure on Florida St. and Virginia Tech. Nobody wants to watch ND get blown out again in a high profile bowl game. Like the 2013 Bama 42 ND 14 snooze fest. If there is a god, he wont allow ND anywhere near a BCS game. But I also thought if there was a God, he wouldn't let Catholic Priests diddle kids either.

Well, they beat up on UTSA 49-7, which arguably they are supposed to do, but two years ago they only beat them by 4, and see teams like App St vs. PSU. So I'm on the train for now. Let's see if they show up vs. #11 MSU this week (who also underwhelmed). My wife is a Wolverine but we have some MSU family so let the smack talk begin! Wife and I just bought tickets to the game.

jerryskids 5,206 Posted September 3, 2018 Nice to see the Fighting Irish get the win. Shouid be a good season I've probably told this story before but whatever... wife and I met in 89, and she threw a party for the UM/ND game. She was a UM grad, I had gone to HS with a freshman sensation for ND named Raghib "Rocket" Ismail. In that game I think Rocket returned two punts or kicks for TDs, and ND won. Wife and I started dating the next year, and ND won every game thru 92 when Rocket graduated. In the fall of 93, wife and I were living together and getting married that October (it will be 25 years in a month!). Michigan was finally favored, and the week of the game she and I had the following exchange: Her: Ready for the big game this weekend?! Me: What game? Her: UM/ND!!!!! Me: I'm not really a ND fan. I just rooted for them because Rocket was there. Her: You WILL root for ND and you WILL let me enjoy UM beating you. Me: Mkay. I believe this is part of why we are married almost 25 years.

ND won, should have been a blow out. If ND wins out only a retard would keep them out of the final 4. If they don't, you won't have to worry about it.

It's not the "5 ranked teams". It's the non conference (which ND has none) type schedule. I laid it out. Most major programs play 4,5,6 ranked teams a year. Most don't get to pick the other 7,8,9 like ND does. And they picked some doozies!! ND non ranked opponents are horrible. All of them. ND should finish with no more then 1 loss now. Then get embarrassed again in the BCS. They are constantly overrated. Everyone knows this except IU basketball fans and ND football fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
