We’re up 38-0 in the 4th and Minnesota has a first and goal with only 2 seconds left. Flea Flecker calls timeout. He wants on the board. Since it’s a clown move by Fleck, the officials agree to let them kick the FG but they only get an extra point since they are already on the 2.5 yard line. We just can’t get that goose egg

16-0 Michigan...no 32-0...no, 48-0 no 64-0...just to get the taste of the '77 game out of my mouth. Still pissed off about that game.  It might take 80-0.

and as always, thankful the old brass spittoon and purdue cannon are not on our schedule.  the illini need a total reboot,  they should just join the big 12 for a fresh start

...and let's face the music and invite Oregon State to the conference for the sake of this bad boy.  The platypus trophy should never die.

I could see Maryland keeping it uncomfortably close well into the second half, and probably exposing some of the ways OSU is one dimensional, but I don't think they have the horses to actually pull off the upset. I think it'll be more like, "OSU wins but they need MHJR circus catches in the 4th quarter to secure victory."

I’ll take 35-7. Minnesota is not a good team, although I look for Tressel Jr to have his team ready to go, at first. JJ and co will put up 21 the first half, another quick TD after, then 2nd-4th string comes in and finishes the bludgeoning. Texas wins and we slip to 3 or 4 which is absolutely fine with me.

A month ago I would’ve said something like 24-20 Michigan. An unnerving, nail biting trap game that went down to the last series or two. You knew it would be at night in front of a raucous crowd, and played against a decent to good team that would probably play like it had nothing to lose. That team would have a good defense, good run game and a wooly mammoth of an offensive line that could give Michigan some trouble. 

But then the games actually started getting played. 

This could be 41-14 kind of game as long as Michigan doesn’t make a ton of mistakes and give Minnesota short fields.

UM 38-10

MN is not going to be able to run at all. Their qb is not going to be able to win this game throwing 20+ tops and that is what they will have to do to win.

Michigan's secondary looks a bit more buttoned up in this game as well.

Michigan 34 Minnesota 10

Someday I will forget Rickey Foggie and how cold it was that day in Ann Arbor.

Until then, it will be a great weekend and I am thankful for that.
