OSU vs. Michigan thread

[Mr. Friscus]

Big game this Saturday. As a Michigan fan, I'm not wild about our chances. We have many injuries, and even if we were fully healthy OSU is seemingly a generationally elite team this year. They allow 7-8 points per game, their offense is filled with elite WR's and their QB Sayin is super accurate.

I'm giving my Wolverines a 15% chance to win... but that's why they play the game

Playing possum again?

Michigan is much better than their record and their ranking, per usual.

And the weather will be miserable with snow, making the passing game of OSU........well.................crappy.

Plus, the track record of Day against them which is abysmal.

Try again.

With all due respect, if it isn't SEC football, nobody cares!

Don't I remember an upset last year, when a mediocre Michigan team beat a top-ranked OSU?

The great thing about rivalries like that is you can salvage the whole season with one win.

Oh please.

Ohio State is the premium collage football team. They have the most dominant defense and high octane offense in the nation.

You want to downplay the fact that they ought to beat Michigan, because you've seen it fail when it was deserved and when it wasn't.

That's what the playoffs are for.

SEC vs. Big 10 morons online talk a lot of sh*t about schedules and conferences.. let's see who wins the actual games.

Yeah but you can also note that miracles don't happen often.. or else they wouldn't be miracles.

Last year's game was a legendary game, an ultimate upset. Hickory basketball. Buster Douglas over Tyson. The US Hockey team over Russia.

We won 13-10.. it's known as "13-10".. no Michigan or Ohio State fan needs to give any further reference to identify the game, it's just "13-10"

But, you can't count on that every year.

The SEC does a good job of eliminating any pretenders because we actually play each other and all the teams are well above average. How well will either Michigan or OSU do against 6 or 7 SEC teams competing against them in the playoffs? You have been lucky the past two years, but you need another decade before you even get close to the SEC's natties.

And just because I see them fall year after year after year, despite being favored, I should just ignore it, eh?

Good point. I wonder if OSU is even capable of winning a national champiionship.

There is no game like it in all of football.

Throw out the records and expectations and start over.

It's like a box of chocolates.

Ohio State's biggest concern with the Michigan game is injuries as this game is the hardest hitting of any football game out there. I ever remember their championship year with Urban, as they lost their QB for the season during the Michigan game due to injury.

They put their third string QB in their for the playoffs..............and still won anyway.

Looks like true football weather is forecasted:

I like to think that’s a good thing for Michigan

Funny how that worked out. SEC 14 times. Ohio State and Michigan 4 times and two of those were the last two years. The ACC has just as many as the Big 10/12/16 or whatever they call it now.

I’m not involved in defending the Big 10 vs the SEC. I don’t care about the drama

I would put Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes as the best rivalry in college sports. I'm sure that University of North Carolina Tar Heel fans and Duke Blue Devil fans will beg to differ, but there are differences.

I never bet and don't like to predict, but the Bucks are in a class by themselves this year. The sports guys are downplaying them. Just like they did last year.

Very few will remember that score. Even fewer will remember Michigan. I believe they lost five games last year.

What most will remember is that Ohio State won the title. They ran through Tennessee, and then won the next three.

Yeah. Now that everyone can pay their players the SEC has lost its advantage.

The people of Ohio remember losing that game.
