We’re Going To Win It All
A lot of hand-wringing about FSU not getting into the CFP right now. Obviously, would have much rather had to play them with a backup QB, and I think the committee got it wrong leaving out an undefeated conference champion, but in the end I don’t think it matters. Florida State was not going to win the title. Neither is Alabama. Washington, Texas, they won’t win it all. That’s because our #1 Michigan Wolverines are going to be National Champions this year.
It’s The Team speech. They can throw out all those great backs and quarterbacks. But do you really believe that anyone else in the country has a better team than us? You think it matters who is on the opposite sideline when our sideline has Blake, JJ, Mike, Graham, Kris, Kenneth, Roman, and MFJH?
This season the mantra has been Michigan vs. Everybody. At the end of the season, it’s going to change to Michigan Beats Everybody. Including Alabama. Including either Washington or Texas. This team doesn’t care who they play, they care for each other. They stayed, and they will be Champions.
Let’s fucking Go Blue.

My hand-wringing about FSU is that they’re a 13 win conference championship who did everything they possibly could have… including winning games without their QB.
Alabama, getting in, over them is an embarrassment for the committee and shows undeniable SEC bias.
With all of that said, I don’t give a shit who we play. This team is prime to beat whomever they line up against!
Go Blue!

Alabama was the worst possible draw. We really wanted BIG12 or PAC defense to go up against.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
Eight days ago everyone thought Ohio was better than Alabama. We beat Ohio. We can beat Alabama.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
This team is really special. I'm in. All aboard.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:07 PM ^
I thought FSU deserved to be in. I would have even thought ranking them 3 would be acceptable. So it wasn't about wanting an "easy opponent".
They are an undefeated conference champ, beat two SEC teams, and did that despite major adversity.
Bring on Bama!
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:08 PM ^
Michigan vs Everybody
BET
FSU got screwed
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:09 PM ^
The beat UGA drill shifts to the beat bama drill!
In Minter we trust !!!!!
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:15 PM ^
if i didn't bleed maize and blue, i'd take bama and the points. love our team, love our guys, and glad we are 'in', but bama is the team i'd want to play least of the 3 alternatives. i know, they have laid an egg or two, but so have we and that includes our offense yesterday.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:24 PM ^
Given the choice, would you rather play Bama or Georgia?
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:52 PM ^
Given the choice I'd want Zinter back.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:55 PM ^
good question. instant answer, neither, but i really haven't watched them play until yesterday. i will simply say that in general i was impressed with the athleticism and game tactics during that game. it was enjoyable to watch (excepting out the desire for a meteor strike).
December 3rd, 2023 at 2:50 PM ^
Agree. Bama has 3 guys on the OL that are 6'5" and 350 or larger. They're less experienced, but better athletes across the board. 5 star after 5 star that take a season for their heads to catch up to their athleticism. I think they're better than Washington or Texas at this point in the season. They vastly outgained Arkansas and Auburn and all their "close games". Milroe didn't play against USF and even that wasn't that close. Those teams were lucky to be in those games. Lost to Texas, but that was Sept 9. Hardly the same team since then. Michigan's offense is mediocre. Our 315lb OL will be destroyed in this game. Barnhart and Henderson and Trente will be exposed. Our defense is great, but they also benefited from playing 7 teams who ranked 100 or worse in total offense including Iowa who is dead last at 130. It's gonna be a bad time. Alabama 34 Michigan 16. We score on TD, and kick 3 field goals. Bama pulls away in the 4th bc our offense keeps our defense on the field.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:16 PM ^
Michigan and FSU should go start their own conference
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:21 PM ^
I'll repeat the following:
Harbaugh v. Sabin: of course. Regardless of who got mugged to get this matchup? It had to happen. This is about the best drama the Football Gods could arrange.
On Day 1 of 2024 it's Awkward v Smooth. Mr. Football v Mr. Aflac.
Seven days later, we win it all.
December 3rd, 2023 at 2:18 PM ^
HB, i'm buying what you're selling.
and speaking of hair dye (looking at cryin' day), saban has to have a firehose of that stuff on his scalp.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:22 PM ^
Alabama will be a tough out with the mobility of Milrose.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:25 PM ^
but an out they shall be
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:23 PM ^
Michigan beats everybody........I like that.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:25 PM ^
I'm good with this...better to get there beating the best
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:31 PM ^
Want recruiting to be better? Go beat Bama and that will be a huge program boost
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:33 PM ^
UM is going to play like the Lions right now against the Saints. Just leaving everyone on the Bama sideline "stunned".
Go Blue in a laugher 42-27
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:43 PM ^
I am apoplectic if I’m a FSU fan. What a croc of shit.
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:43 PM ^
I approve of this message!!👍
December 3rd, 2023 at 2:13 PM ^
This is a team of destiny. Coach seems so focused and relaxed today.
December 3rd, 2023 at 2:18 PM ^
Let’s win our semifinal first … we were supposed to roll over TCU last year …
December 3rd, 2023 at 2:43 PM ^
I hope so obviously, but Bama is probably the best team in the country. We got the worst match up.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:37 PM ^
To be the best, you have to beat the best. Go Blue.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
December 3rd, 2023 at 7:59 PM ^
I’d actually much rather have Alabama than Texas in round one.
December 3rd, 2023 at 2:44 PM ^
I like the cut of your jib.

Yeah I fucked that up. Whoops.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
Love the spirit, OP!
meanwhile, the 11Warriors gang is trying to tell UGA and FSU fans they should be protesting the Playoff Rankings and urging the NCAA to 'drop the hammer and give the spot to a deserving team, not a bunch of cheating cheetahs.'
i know it's not Christmas yet, but Angry Buckeye Fan is the gift that keeps on giving.

The only thing that scares me about Alabama are Milroe's legs. I think we can move the ball on their D reasonably well. And we can score points. But Milroe is a legit 4.4 with good size and will be hard to bring down.
December 3rd, 2023 at 7:58 PM ^
Fuck yeah. Let’s do this thing.
December 3rd, 2023 at 9:13 PM ^
I mean, yeah, Saban with a month to concoct schemes is going to be super tough, but if this is the team we all think it is - and everything we've seen so far would indicate that it is - then everyone of our guys will be up for the challenge. You could understand why they might blink when they suspended Jim Harbaugh right before Penn State, or when they found out he wouldn't be there for the OSU game. Or when they lost their captain with a horrific leg injury that silenced the Big House. Each and every time they answered the bell. We've seen who these kids are, time after time after time.
This is a generational team with a unique combination of guts, character, experience and mental fortitude. I believe they will make us very proud on New Year's Day
