we'd be in bad shape against OU this year.

Maybe it will come down to the final play of the game again...

Oh god I ****ing hate that play. I'm gonna have nightmares now. Jfc just lateral the ball to Breaston one time! I'll never understand what the **** he was thinking. Worst play ever.

That was a pretty ****ty season for Michigan. If that play ends the way it shouldve ended at least we would've had something to smile about and talk about. But no, instead that play summed up the entire season. So much promise. Horrible result.

Indeed we would. Oh well, I'll take a BCS bowl any way we can get it. It has been way too long.

true

Since it's officially Friday, let's hear some final score predictions from you guys.

NU 20 UM 27

NU 26 UM 20
(yeah thats a 26)

you gotta post one too ILP

Ok to be quite honest, I'm actually very pessimistic about this upcoming game. I mean I'm fired up about it no doubt. I think Michigan and Nebraska is gonna naturally blossom into a great rivalry over time. We're in the same division after all, and more times than not in the future, the winner of this game will end up in the big ten championship game. And although that's not true this year, both sides are still playing to keep their chances of a BCS bowl berth alive. So this game is freaking HUGE. I feel like Michigan is playing two Ohio State games over these next two weeks!

But that said, I'm pessimistic because, well, Michigan is really not that good right now. Every time we play a team that's decent, with the weird exception of Notre Dame (conveniently defining decent as a team that's better than Illinois, so teams like Michigan state, Penn State, etc), we lose. I have not watched much of Nebraska this year, but I'm assuming you guys are at the scary decent level and I'm also assuming that Michigan is still not ready to compete at that level (I'm hoping I'm wrong). So with that said, I think NEB +3.5 is a total lock, but I'm not betting on it cause I just can't do it emotionally. My predicted final score (being serious now, unlike my prediction in the Michigan thread) is: NEB 27 Michigan 17.

Anyways, ever since the moment I found out NEB has joined the big ten, I have been looking forward to this game. NEB joining the big ten was an awesome moment for me. It was like finding out Michigan just picked up four 5 star recruits or something. To me, perhaps the greatest tragedy in college sports (just talking bout the game, excluding stuff like kids getting Sanduskied) is the death of the NEB-Oklahoma rivalry. I guess I'm hoping that over time the Michigan-Nebraska game can blossom into something special that helps alleviate that great loss.

I'm extremely cautiously optimistic, but in all reality I have no clue what is going to happen tomorrow morning. No idea.

And apparently the sportswriting world has no idea either

Of the listed predictions, 17 pick Nebraska, 20 pick Michigan

The best argument I can construct that says Michigan's gonna win:

Nebraska lost to Northwestern which in itself is not a big deal. Losing to inferior teams happens to everyone eventually. The important part is Northwestern, with Colter at QB (who had an awesome game vs you guys) is very similar to the kind of offense Michigan has. Also, you guys struggled pretty bad vs Ohio state when Miller was in the game, another example of an offense similar to Michigan's offense. In fact one can argue, correctly I believe, that Michigan is a BETTER version than both those offenses that you guys struggled against. So with that said, and with the game at Michigan, and the fact that Michigan's defense is now very serviceable (so we shouldn't expect Michigan's defense to be ****ty enough to make up for the fact that you're gonna struggle vs our offense), It looks like Michigan's gonna win tomorrow.

Of course there's other problems. Denard Robinson loves to throw interceptions. Borges, the OC, has a tendency to go away from the spread offense too much, and the aforementioned claim I made in my previous post: Michigan is just not not good...but then again, how good is Nebraska? I don't know.

I can definitely see why the writers are nearly split on this one. Anyways, less than 10 hours away til we start to find out the true verdict!!!! I'm so pumped right now, I don't know how I'm gonna fall asleep tonight.

Corn 23-21 is my prediction. Brent Maher FTW. GL ILP, I agree that it should turn into a really good rivalry.

When the Big Ten was trying to figure out the divisions I told myself I'll take whatever they give us as long as we get Michigan.

I predict a sloppy game with lots of turnovers and neither defense able to stop the opponents offense. If T-Mart throws only has 1 int I think Nebraska wins.

Opening TD was bulls***. Dennard was interfered with. DB has every right to the ball that the WR has.

HEY NEBRASKA SUCK MY BALLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZ
