The announcers were so gloomy about Michigan's prospects in the game I had to keep checking the score to make sure we were actually leading!!!

(35,808 posts)after the high from the Massacre in The Shoe last week. I think they'll be operating on all cylinders in time for the playoffs. At least I hope so. Georgia creamed LSU yesterday and looked really tough.
The announcers always seem to give Michigan teams short shrift. It irks me.

(5,076 posts)That Purdue QB is one gutsy kid and kept them in the game well into the second half, so all props to him. First half was a nail-biter but thankfully they kept scoring TDs to Purdue's FGs.
Interested to see tomorrow who they'll be playing and what the opening line will be.
GO BLUE!!!!!

(5,076 posts)2019 was a long time ago, and a new day has dawned. Michigan are the bullies now, so bring on OSU.
Meh, it's probably academic anyway 'cause I doubt OSU gets past Georgia. It's going to be a fun bowl/playoff season regardless, that's for sure.

(72,506 posts)Georgia @ 1
Wolf er Weiners @ 2
OSU @ 3
TCU @ 4
Georgia vs TCU
OSU vs U of M
Then Georgia will lose to OSU
And OSU will be national champions and Trump will die in the Super Max Fed. Prison in 2024.

(15,046 posts)If they unexpectedly win, I think there will be a rematch against Michigan... who will probably beat #3 TCU at the Fiesta Bowl.
We'll know for sure in a few more hours, with the match-ups announced on ESPN starting at noon.

(72,506 posts)Hopefully the running backs and the wide out Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be back.
Buckeye_Democrat
(15,046 posts)Holy crap, he's pretty much been missing the entire season!
I already gave up on him, but maybe he'll surprise me.
Both Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson agreed early last season that Smith-Njigba was the best, most athletic receiver on the team. Which included Marvin Harrison Jr. last year too.
Botany
(72,506 posts)I saw him make one of the all time freak plays last year. With his back turned he caught a punt, planted his
left foot, turned and ran to the sideline, got the corner and picked up about 10 or 20 yards down the field before
he was hit out of bounds. The camera showed both Wilson and Olave on the sidelines just cracking up.
But his legs are worth a fortune and they will not take a chance on hurting them.
Buckeye_Democrat
(15,046 posts)It first happened within minutes of their opener against Notre Dame.
Then he returned for a few games throughout the season, only to aggravate it again immediately.
MAYBE he'll hope to improve his NFL draft stock in the playoffs, but I doubt it. It's probably considered a safer bet to just stay healthy for the Spring combine.
Although we can agree about the whole supermax prison thing.
Botany
(72,506 posts)BTW would you join me for a "perp walk party?"
catbyte
(35,808 posts)That would be way sweeter than one of our teams winning the title.

(72,506 posts)If we had stopped Putin from installing him in 2016 we would not have:
* Russia in the Ukraine
* The global C-19 pandemic. With the help of Dr. Fauci President Obama left in place the personal, the
protocols, and materials that if not stopped it but could have very well made it much smaller. Trump fired
the people, scrapped the protocols, and Kush-Turd along with Pompeo shipped 18 tons of PPE to China in
Feb. of 2020 because he and TFG owed China zillions of dollars.
Perp walk parties. I like it.
