Herbstreit favors Michigan over OSU in a blowout
Herbstreit strongly favors Michigan over Ohio State in a week and a half.
LINK: Kirk Herbstreit Surprisingly Thinks Michigan Will Blow Out His Alma Mater
Of course that's what we all want. I think given the last three years, Michigan will leave nothing to chance, and will crush OSU. And yet, with the BPONE, I'll believe it when I see it.

It's reverse psychology. He's hopin urban uses that to fuel his team
November 15th, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
I was thinking a reverse jinx
November 15th, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
Lol yea that too
November 15th, 2018 at 10:54 PM ^
No jinx possible. Nothing being left to luck. We're already at a different level than they are and improving every day. More than a decade of frustration is about to come out all at once. The pole is flipping, and it's about to go the other way for a very long time.
Irritating, though, that everyone is trying to undercut them right before we kill them. They shouldn't get to cheapen our win like that.
November 16th, 2018 at 8:43 AM ^
No one cheapens their wins from the 7 year shitshow that was RR and Hoke. I don't give a shit where they're at as a team. Beating their asses is ALWAYS awesome and nothing will diminish it.
November 16th, 2018 at 9:03 AM ^
Don't mind seeing the BPONE on the other... uh... sports fandom soul.
November 16th, 2018 at 7:35 AM ^
reverse osmosis
November 16th, 2018 at 7:49 AM ^
Lot of Buckeyes are using this tact. An OSU fan at my gym says we are going to kick their ass everytime I see him.
November 16th, 2018 at 8:50 AM ^
My manager was talking to me today and said UM should beat OSU for sure. He also said, though, that if we lose again, Harbaugh should be fired. I just laughed and walked away because that was such a stupid comment.
November 16th, 2018 at 12:19 PM ^
Your manager in Australia follows M Football?
November 15th, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
He's doing a Marcus Ray? Nah.
November 16th, 2018 at 5:55 AM ^
He has pulled this crap before.
Back in 2011 when VaTech made a BCS bowl, he went on and on over the course of multiple days about how they didn't belong in any BCS bowl and it was a bad system that picked them. He mentioned that we belonged and should be heavily favored over the pretenders....then right before the game he picked VaTech to beat us, because they have been disrespected, by nobody thinking that they belong.
Devious Buckeye, he is trying to fire up his team.
November 16th, 2018 at 8:55 AM ^
I agree on the reverse psychology. Herbie is just looking to piss the entire team off so they have even more motivation to actually show up and play like OSU.
November 16th, 2018 at 11:18 AM ^
For sure, its alittle reverse psych and passive aggressive behavior, Herbie can claim an “I told you” after our win...the guy is all about Herbie.
November 15th, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
You take your jinx and you get the hell out of here, Kirk Herbstreit!
November 16th, 2018 at 8:00 AM ^
Herbstreit is a troll. Always has been and always will be.
Go Blue!
November 16th, 2018 at 8:37 AM ^
Far from it. He’s one of the few likable Bucknuts
November 16th, 2018 at 8:40 AM ^
All a facade.
November 16th, 2018 at 9:26 AM ^
Alex: "Likable Buckeye"
Me: "What is, an oxymoron?"
Alex: "Correct, no Buckeyes are likable. You have control of the board."
November 16th, 2018 at 8:38 AM ^
Why do you say that? He seems level-headed and reasonable to me.
November 16th, 2018 at 9:15 AM ^
That's because they have been winning.
November 16th, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
This is very true. Winning makes people sane. Losing for an extended period of time makes you ....well,
November 16th, 2018 at 8:59 AM ^
I hate OSU as much as everyone here, but Kirk is a good guy and the best college football analyst in the business. I also enjoy his commentating. He gets extra points for declining offers from ESPN to be an NFL analyst. Kirk stated he didn't want to because he loves college football so much. Kirk is not a big NFL guy. NCAAF is far and away more entertaining than boring NFL games. Props to Kirk for sticking with what he likes more.
November 16th, 2018 at 10:21 AM ^
Sorry Mrs Herbstreit

November 16th, 2018 at 12:23 PM ^
I agree. I hate his takes outside of live game action. But no color guy picks up more on a live play than he does.
His analysis is often very impressive.
November 15th, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
Shut him UP
November 15th, 2018 at 10:30 PM ^
This is actually the most reasonable take from any objective person who's watched any college football this year.
November 16th, 2018 at 12:20 AM ^
True, but they're already gonna be hopped up on bennies and goofballs and raging at the Gods anyway. Better to sing them all lullabies, tell them they're special and put them to sleep than risk some miracle effort.
After a decade of Rich Rod, Hoke, and three years of climbing the mountain with Jimmy, I'm not sure my ticker could take an upset.
November 15th, 2018 at 10:30 PM ^
Oh great.
Where is les miles and bill martin?
November 16th, 2018 at 9:05 AM ^
This is exactly what comes to mind...he's trying to fuck shit up again...
UM wins he'll go on and on about being right...how he saw it all along.
UM loses and his message helped to wake up the Buckeyes...and 'if Harbaugh couldn't get it done this year...he may never get it done..blah, blah, blah..."
Herbie..just stop already. He'll be in the endzone with that shit eating grin and fake lobster tan if/when OSU scores a TD...
November 15th, 2018 at 10:31 PM ^
He needs to shut his whore mouth when he's singing our praises.....
next Chris Spielman will be helping to coach their linebackers....
November 15th, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
I'm still pissed at you Herbie, but you're right about this. The rivalry is finally about to flip again when we take 15 years of pent up frustration out on those fucks in their own house.
Fuck Ohio.
November 16th, 2018 at 9:35 AM ^
Don't get pissed off at Herbie, goodness knows we'd love to have had more OSU quarterbacks with his record vs us over the last several years.

November 15th, 2018 at 10:33 PM ^
Well there's a reason they kicked him out of Columbus...
November 16th, 2018 at 4:56 AM ^
November 15th, 2018 at 10:33 PM ^
Those are not Herbstreit's words. Those are the article writers words. Move along....nothing more to see.
November 15th, 2018 at 10:35 PM ^
That's the result I favor too. Glad to see Herbstreit is finally rooting for the good guys.
November 16th, 2018 at 4:46 AM ^
I have a bridge for sale & you are just the guy I've been looking for.
November 16th, 2018 at 10:35 AM ^
Picking Michigan to win isn't really "rooting" for Michigan. There have been plenty of years when I expected OSU to win The Game and if anybody asked me, that's what I would say. Doesn't mean I didn't want Michigan to win or that I was "rooting" for OSU. I fully expect Alabama to demolish The Citadel this weekend. But I am not rooting for them; I would absolutely love to see the Bulldogs rise up and embarrass the Tide.
I'm sure Herbstreit would prefer if OSU wins The Game. Doesn't mean his better judgment can't still lead him to conclude that they won't.
November 15th, 2018 at 10:36 PM ^
Nice try, Kirkers.
OSU is the best team on the planet and it'll take the perfect game to even come close to beating them.
November 15th, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
Lol, I see what you did there, as tired as I am right now!
November 15th, 2018 at 10:38 PM ^
If there is one weakness that you can’t fix week to week, and we known it all to well, is offensive line, and theirs is pretty bad. Haskins really struggles versus the blitz, he’s going to have a long day in my opinion.
November 15th, 2018 at 11:34 PM ^
I think they have three cyan circles on their OL...LT, C and RG.
If that's true, that's going to end poorly for OSU.
November 16th, 2018 at 12:01 AM ^
Michael Jordan (NTMJ) had a poor game against MSU. And Prince? He looked clearly overmatched by Willekes (MSU) speed. Maybe Urban will gamble on a raw backup with better footspeed.
November 16th, 2018 at 6:45 AM ^
Prince never could cover mannto man - but he looked damn good in purple!
November 16th, 2018 at 9:05 AM ^
I for one think that Urban should definitely give a new LT his first start against Chase and Gary.
November 15th, 2018 at 10:38 PM ^
Couple things: that's a shitty fucking website.
He said Michigan would 'take care of business' not blow them out.
