I have to admit that I'm looking past Indiana next week. October 12 circled on the calendar.

bad move

indiana will rape your defense while nobody is paying attention

what's october 12th?

Loss to Ucf doesn't look to bad now. Admittedly, it isn't ref rigged squeakers against Akron and UCANT but ....

It is the day that THIS man...



...shats all over the dreams and forever crushes the soul of THIS man...



...while making THIS man turn in his grave:

Seeing the future

In fairness Indiana raped them in all three holes phases of the game.

so after next week, you're 3-3.

pretty sure that's....

tried to warn you

its almost like ignoring warning signs is a regular thing there

I'm still ready for next week. Pretty sure we are better than Akron and uconn so we will see.

are you?

Yeah

pretty sure? or really sure?

Yeah

It's officially Michigan-Penn State week. Ya'll know the drill. We come to your place, you bend over, and let history play itself out! We ain't Indiana, so I spect things gonna get ugly. Real ugly. Gonna look something like this:

You forgot Touchdown Manningham... worst of many PSU/UM moments in my lifetime. Or wait maybe that's the second pic? Not sure.

Hope we can be competitive next week. We'll see what this team is made of. Obviously have lots to work on. I'll be there and be loud regardless!

I was trying to go with the theme of your QB getting crushed, which he basically should. I mean the formula for beating a mostly immobile true freshman QB is pretty basic: Stop the run, force QB into a lot of obvious passing situations, and then throw a lot of blitzes at him. We should also be double covering Robinson a lot since obviously Hackenberg has been pretty locked in on him.

But anyways, lolme cuz as you correctly guessed it, that one pic IS after the Manningham play, so that guy on the ground is not a QB.

Regarding that Manningham play....(first I gotta post the pic for good measure):



....That has to be the #1 most devastating play in Penn State history--An undefeated season, and a healthy amount of national championship equity ruined on a last second play. Can't hurt more than that. On Michigan's end, the play was great, no doubt, but it wasn't even close to as awesome as it was bad for you guys. Our season was already effectively over. We were 3-3 with 2 losses in the Big Ten. So beyond giving us a better chance at having a winning record, that win wasn't gonna do much for us. Altho, IIRC Michigan was still mathematically in the Big Ten race going into the OSU game, so the PSU win ended up being more important than I initially thought, but we were still a long shot. We had to beat Ohio State, and we needed a couple of other games to go our way I think. Either way, if anything that win over you guys, might've actually hurt (viscerally speaking) more than it felt good. It was a bittersweet reminder that the 2005 season was a lost season for Michigan, but it didn't necessarily have to be that way.

That's why, to me, this is the best Michigan-Penn State moment:



That's Chris Perry lunging in the end zone for the winning TD in OT vs Penn State in 2002. That win was much more meaningful to me. At that point we were 4-1 (1-0), still a lot to play for, and that HUGE win kept us in the Big Ten race and preserved our chances of playing in a BCS game too (A loss to Iowa at home ended up effectively ending our Big Ten chances and we would've went to a BCS game but a rigged OPI call in the Ohio State game took that away from us).

Not trying to talk trash but I just don't see it. The final score should be something like Michigan 31 PSU 13. I don't see how your offense is gonna move much vs our very solid defense, and I don't know if you guys have the defensive personnel to get the requisite pressure on Gardner to rattle him--and that is the KEY for you guys. Get Gardner rattled or else! cause when he's in his comfort zone he plays like the NFL prospect many scouts think he is. But get enough pressure on him and he's as rattled as a 2 year old without a pacifier, and then anyone can beat us (literally anyone as I'm sure you know).

Yes secondary and pass rush have certainly been two major issues wish you guys should be able to exploit. Hull playing injured and missing Keiser last week hasn't helped. With that said I was pretty surprised to see the line open with you guys as only 3 point favorites. Maybe you should load up

Manningham takes a distant 2nd to this:

I knew there was a devastating play I was forgetting! No doubt you're right.

I'm so close to putting a grand on Mich -3. I'm trying as hard as I can to control myself. I have no clue how I'm gonna make it through this week. I desperately need the line to go up to 3.5 just to make sure I don't destroy myself.

it's already 2.5 at some places, despite the public being on michigan.

not quite a reverse line move, and most sites are just moving juice around to balance action.

pretty sure 3 is dead on. pretty easy no-bet, or at least it should be.

Let's be honest, who knows what to expect from either team at this point.

vegas?

The line is -1.5 at LVH. My ****ing god. I can't resist it. There's no way. I think I might have to go all in. God help me.
