F Pollack. That is all.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:59 AM ^
Wonder how many times he will say "Head to Head"???
December 4th, 2021 at 11:58 AM ^
His 2003 Georgia team lost head-to-head to Florida, had the same conference record, yet won the division over Florida. How could that possibly happen???
I'd love to hear Pollack, and his stale-cat-turd-rattling-around-in-a-tin-can brain, explain it to us
December 4th, 2021 at 9:10 AM ^
Good doggie! Maul the red tide people.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:17 AM ^
Iowa's center with a "...when we lift that trophy at the end of the game."
?
December 4th, 2021 at 9:21 AM ^
Hope our guys get that replayed for them
December 4th, 2021 at 9:43 AM ^
dude's a clown, but I suppose what else is he going to say?
December 4th, 2021 at 10:20 AM ^
Uh oh, did you see what Hutch said in response:
"After the game I'm gonna build myself a pretty home and use him as a bearskin rug. Linderbaum even smells like a bear. I'm gonna give him to the local zoo after I whup him."
December 4th, 2021 at 3:17 PM ^
Is this a prediction for both an M victory and a Hutch Heisman?
December 4th, 2021 at 9:22 AM ^
No other place to say this, but I really like Iowa as a football team, and that is also a very good fanbase.
I happen to want to crush them today, but feels weird rooting this hard against a team I like seeing do well.
edit to add: I also feel a bit nervous about the fact that everybody thinks we win this comfortably, I mean, I do think we win this comfortably, but we were on the complete opposite side of this equation one week ago.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:26 AM ^
I think we win but the Wizard of Kinnick has pulled rabbits out of his corn so many times in the past I'm expecting a literal dog fight
December 4th, 2021 at 9:33 AM ^
I mean, thank God it's not in Kinnick. They are world beaters in that stadium.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:49 AM ^
Bah gawd that’s Mike Vick’s music
December 4th, 2021 at 10:59 AM ^
I hope any literal dog fights stay in the SEC today.
December 4th, 2021 at 11:10 AM ^
This game ain't being played at Kinnick, though. Unless he travels to Indy with the team, I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about it.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:34 AM ^
agreed..... just like all the fucking predictions of crushing sparty....
this time, however.... the boys are going to be ready, the game plan is going to be well considered and thoroughly thought out...... Wolverines 28 Fighting benjamin franklin pierces 16

Take away some obvious homer officiating and MSU doesn’t get back into that game. It’s been acknowledged by the conference of game implicating mistakes. Other than that loss being to them, what irritates me the most is that it gives us no margin for error tonight. I’m really hoping next year we treat them just like we did OSU this year and play aggressor on and off the field.
December 4th, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
That’s what really chaps my ass. We absolutely should be 12-0 and a lock for the playoffs. But, we pissed away a huge lead that I feel galvanized this team.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:43 AM ^
I mean not everybody. Even the bets were moving towards Michigan covering it. So there were many smart people thought Michigan would at least cover. No one doubted that Michigan will have a solid offense against OSU unlike Iowa against us. It is that everyone, including myself, thought OSU will put up a lot of points. The surprise was how much they have to do to get points and how many 3rd and long or 4th and long they have to convert to get those points. Anyway, Iowa is not that. We will see how we handle Iowa. We are a complete team on all 3 phases of the ball.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:56 AM ^
I’ve told anyone who’d listen that Iowa scares the bejesus out of me. I had a quiet confidence last week with a feeling of…just maybe. I have a pit in my stomach picturing the Hawkeyes putting some turnover voodoo spell on us. I pray I’m worried for nothing. But this is the same program who made Urbans stress pimple 4 times it’s normal size.
December 4th, 2021 at 11:33 AM ^
Look at the size of Iowa’s front 4 vs Michigan’s oline.
December 4th, 2021 at 11:54 AM ^
Sorry, not after what emerged about race relations there last year. Hells to the hells no.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:29 AM ^
Why wouldn't they be in Indy for MICHIGAN-IO....ohWAit. Makes sense.
Somehow Bama is gonna win this game today and force us into another 2x SEC team playoff.
I'm nervous and have been since last Saturday that Kirk is gonna be all wily tonight and that him and his staff have been in a lab all week figuring out the perfect gameplan to knock us off.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:35 AM ^
If Bama wins and we win, it's a mortal lock that we play Bama. A Bama team that has underpreformed, but with Bama talent and endless time to prepare, is hardly our ideal playoff matchup.
edit: Actually take that back, we could also get Georgia, which lol. Let's just hope they lose.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:38 AM ^
What? No. That would require Georgia still being #1 after a loss to Alabama or us dropping two spots after a win.
If Georgia wins and chalk in the other games it's
(1) Georgia vs. (4) Oklahoma State or Cincinnati
(2) Michigan vs. (3) Oklahoma State or Cincinnati
If Alabama wins it's
(1) Alabama vs. (4) Oklahoma State or Cincinnati
(2) Michigan vs. (3) Georgia
December 4th, 2021 at 9:44 AM ^
Yeah, you're right, my apologies, both those team exist as a block of "SEC teams I do not want to play" in my mind, so I made a bad post. I'm sure the CFP won't allow a rematch, so the seeding will do what it needs to do.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:46 AM ^
After watching Alabama's tackles against Auburn, there's a pretty obvious way to beat them.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:40 AM ^
There’s no way we play bama. If we both win they’re 1 and we’re 2
December 4th, 2021 at 9:42 AM ^
It's not out of the realm of possibility that the committee says Michigan has a better loss and moves Michigan to #1. Which may set up an all-SEC rematch in the semi-final. NVM, who am I kidding? They won't do that.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:45 AM ^
They would immediately drop Georgia to 4 to avoid the immediate rematch, I'm pretty sure.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:37 AM ^
College Game Day in a convention center looks pretty terrible to me. Yucky yuck
December 4th, 2021 at 9:45 AM ^
Them taking "bye-weeks" once upon a time and staying in Bristol was a better look!
December 4th, 2021 at 10:04 AM ^
Why not do it outside? They are in Atlanta, not Alaska.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:44 AM ^
Brian Kelly’s accent is suddenly gone in this interview.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:47 AM ^
MFer is a very unlikable, fake-ass, purple-two-faced....person.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:52 AM ^
BK is always going to be behind the best just like the other BK always behind McDonald's. He is a fake.
December 4th, 2021 at 9:53 AM ^
Go Blue, beat Iowa! No letdown boys, let’s go!
December 4th, 2021 at 9:56 AM ^
Lurking on some Iowa forums this morning, and mostly what you'd expect (most calling for a close Iowa victory/ mad they're being counted out.)
However, there does seem to be a sentiment with the fanbase that if they beat us they maybe make the playoff, which seems... unlikely.
December 4th, 2021 at 10:04 AM ^
We are going to win and win big.
December 4th, 2021 at 10:08 AM ^
Hats off to the Michigan dude in the maize sweatshirt who planted himself right behind the College Game Day set, between all the red Alabama and Georgia fans.
I like his glorious defiance.
December 4th, 2021 at 10:10 AM ^
Herbie is living in a different universe. All teams on top lose? Get out of here.
December 4th, 2021 at 12:06 PM ^
He doesn't want to anger the buckeye fanbase now that he is back in Columbus.
December 4th, 2021 at 10:11 AM ^
And again Pollack has to bring up UM being rated above MSU a week after that game.
You would think by now he might give credence to the Committee for knowing what they were talking about.
December 4th, 2021 at 10:15 AM ^
He is as irrelevant as MSU in this discussion.
December 4th, 2021 at 10:14 AM ^
I was feeling fine and confident, but after everyone talking about Iowa scaring them, my stomach is getting in knots and my anxiety is going up. Why is this happening to me?
December 4th, 2021 at 10:16 AM ^
You have seen some shit man.
But it was in Kinnick.
Iowa is like the Wicked Witch of the West in Munchkin Land. Their evil Kinnick magic has no power in Lucas Land.
December 4th, 2021 at 10:17 AM ^
They are just being nice to them. They all had their fingers crossed when they said it. When HH gets 50 yards in the first quarter with 2 3 and out for Iowa you will feel better.
December 4th, 2021 at 10:24 AM ^
I have to laugh, when ESPN shows the victory highlights of The Game, they use Brandy's radio call for the audio.
They won't use Gus's legendary "Michigan beats Ohio State. 42 to 27. FFFINALLY!" because it's Fox sports.
December 4th, 2021 at 10:28 AM ^
Marcus Freeman said Jim Tressel is his mentor. This hire can backfire on ND. We will see.
