Countdown: 100 More Days Until CFB Season Begins!

Submitted by DelhiWolverine on May 16th, 2019 at 3:05 PM

Need a break from insanely refreshing the MgoBoard and obsessing over the MBB Coaching Search?

Take heart, fellow Wolverines! There are only 100 more days left until the start of the college football season!

This article from CBSsports.com has enough fluff, predictions and a few Michigan tidbits that we can all enjoy and escape a little bit from the basketball drama that whirls around us.

A few Michigan things:

- Michigan predicted to beat OSU. Yeah, way too early and I too will believe it when I see it. But positive thinking and predictions are good.

- Michigan tied with Oklahoma for 5th best odds to win the NC at 14/1

- Shea Patterson mentioned as a Heisman contender, albeit at the bottom of their list.

 

Anyways, football! Speed in Space! It's all coming sooner than we think!

Football needs to stop getting kicked in the nuts now that Beilein is gone. We always had basketball as a security blanket, but now it looks like we need an OSU win and a Big Ten title to keep us warm through this winter

Basketball has been a nice diversion but I wouldn't call it a security blanket. I never felt better about losing to OSU just because our MBB Team was good. It was just nice to have a positive distraction in which I could pour my Michigan fandom.

However, I agree that nearly everyone on the board would gladly sacrifice MBB success to return to the level of success the FB team had when playing OSU coached by John Cooper, let alone playoff bids and NC wins.

Any more information on the commit watch from the other day? Justin Rogers is committing this weekend but it seems incredibly unlikely it's him. Anyone seen any solid intel there?

As I said in the other thread, the football team is energetically bound to absorb the game winning ability of the basketball program and integrate it into their team-soul.

 

CFB Champs 2019!

It now seems weird going to get football news to avoid what is going on with the basketball team. Is is it 2006 again?
