Dave Wannstedt Just Put Michigan on "Upset Alert" vs. MSU; Michigan now Virtually Guaranteed to Win
On "BIG Football and Beyond" on BTN, Wannstedt first said we are on "upset alert," then flat-out predicted MSU will win. Based on Wannstedt's coaching resume, this guarantees that Michigan will win in a blowout. FYI Dave, Don Brown also has a better "Salty Retired Police Captain Who's Seen Too Much in His Life" mustache than you do...

I need the quarter-by-quarter scoring breakdown to really put any faith into this score.
October 2nd, 2017 at 1:59 PM ^
I'd very much like to have some little bro players shit talk during the week. That usually locks it up for us.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
eh, turf?
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:10 PM ^
If I don't see you tomorrow Happy Mgoversarry.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:02 PM ^
Was Dave watching MSU's offense last week? Our offense may be a question mark BUT at the very least our defense and special teams are going to give us some short fields to work with that should result, at the least, in field goals. If State's offense played like they did against Iowa and Notre Dame, I don't see them putting that many points on us.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:08 PM ^
Right after he said it, J Leman made a comment about "not really knowing much about MSU at this point." Wannstedt agreed he didn't either, to which Leman responded, "um, but you're picking them to upset Michigan?" Wannstedt said "YEAH!" He's not the brightest solar mass in the universal firmament...
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:20 PM ^
Is that for real? This is precisely why I refuse to watch shows like this. How much actual time do you suppose Dave Wannstedt or Paul Finebaum actually spends researching the teams they pontificate about? And still these people call in and ask them for their expert opinions.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:58 PM ^
They draw straws. Ole Dave got the short one this morning.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:04 PM ^
think we will win but I honestly don't know if we have the offensive capability to blow a team out right now. Like, any team.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:25 PM ^
None on the schedule, at least. That is fine, too. We have an elite defense and defensive coordinator. As long as the defense does well and the offense can be just good enough to get a few TDs or FGs, we'll win. The defense has allowed only forty points to date.
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:13 PM ^
October 3rd, 2017 at 4:07 AM ^
We've beaten every team we've played so far by 2-3 possessions. That's solid beatdowns left and right. I'm not sure what more we are supposed to be doing.
October 3rd, 2017 at 11:02 AM ^
TDs, not FGs. That would be a good continuation of the Purdue game. Up 'til then, the knock on the team was the offense's inability to score after reaching the redzone.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
why? o_0
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:11 PM ^
That's what I want to know. Did he give any reasons WHY he thinks Michigan will lose? That's what I hate about these shows sometimes. They just say stuff for shock value but don't present any reasoning to support it or how they came to that decision.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:15 PM ^
this must be what they refer to as "hawt takes"
October 2nd, 2017 at 4:08 PM ^
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:18 PM ^
He's not going to give any reasons, because he really does not beleive it. He is just running his mouth because he routes for the underdog or he just does not like Michigan. Either way he will be called out on it and made to look the fool. This asshole had fsu winning the national championship. I have no idea why this clown is on btn anyways.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:09 PM ^
Seriously
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:10 PM ^
Come to think of it, before last week I never heard of Brando either.
Talking down Michigan gets them some clicks I guess....
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:11 PM ^
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:43 PM ^
He is no Don Brown. Clearly fake mustache. If Don Brown owns dogs, they will pee on Wanstedt's leg out of instinct.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:12 PM ^
Personally I'd like to know his reasons. Other than the obvious take we're playing our "backup QB".
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:30 PM ^
he thought they had the best QB/WR combo with Plaxico Burress and Kirk Cousins and a really tough running back in Leveon Bell. He did say afterwards that he has not had a chance to see the roster to know the other quality players on the team.

Its a rivalry game, so expect the unexpected. With that said, I imagine JOK is going to see biltz after biltz early on. If he can handle the pressure early on, I think we win easily. If JOK doesn't, it will be a nail-biter.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:13 PM ^
UM needed a blowhard, click-chaser's uninformed upset prediction to guarantee this win.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:15 PM ^
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:28 PM ^
You're very optimistic. Thirty-five seems like a lot. I think UM won't score more than twenty-five, but allowing only ten or so seems reasonable.
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:18 PM ^
I am going with 34-10. I look for our defense/special teams to get us a score and the defense will put us in some good field position for some short drives.
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:38 PM ^
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:15 PM ^
What a meathead.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:16 PM ^
I'm certainly more worried about this game than I was a month ago. But losing your starting QB, and a starting WR to injury probably plays more into that then anything.
Our defense will keep every game close, but close games can be decided on a few fluke plays.
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:19 PM ^
showed up at Purdue and I think will open things up a little bit more on offense. Also a consistent running game would be cool.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:16 PM ^
Looks like a failure of a head coach with a steadily downward career trajectory.
Fuck that guy.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:20 PM ^
I am 80-90% sure he got several of those head coaching gigs based solely on his mustache. OK, 75% sure.
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:23 PM ^
He did ok winning a NC in college and 2 SB's w/the JJ era Cowboys as DC. I'll agree his stache powered those units.
October 2nd, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
have coached the Defense in the Jimmy Johnson era, and the Cowboys would have won the Super Bowl anyways.
Wannstedt was a perennial, retread loser as a head coach. I don't know why we have to listen to tools like this on TV after their failed head coaching careers come to an end.
October 3rd, 2017 at 12:16 PM ^
No. You couldn't have coached the defense in the Jimmy Johnson era. If you did, they would have sucked.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:20 PM ^
While I want people to keep underestimating UM, I don't see why they keep doing it. It will be a fairly close game, but UM wins this one. I just hope (and expect) Harbaugh to be prepared for trick plays and fake kicks and all that shit. Dantonio loves to do that when it's the least expected. If memory serves, Dantonio did some kind of trick play or fake kick in both games versus Harbaugh and (again, if memory serves) they didn't work.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:25 PM ^
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:29 PM ^
Huh. I don't recall that - probably because everything about that fucking game is now in a dark place after the way it ended.
October 2nd, 2017 at 2:42 PM ^
if you think really hard there was a period of about like 25 seconds in the fourth quarter when Michigan fans started to feel like they could pull away. I think it was 23-14 and there offense was not doing much of anything. Then some dude named Pendleton rumbled like 80 yards for a touchdown and it was stressful again.
