Bama vs Michigan

[thekid33]

Michigan's two best wins were Ohio St and Penn St.

Ohio St was an above average team.

State Penn was average, at best.

Alabama is going to roll Michigan. I am more convinced than ever.

Roll Damn Tide

30-17

 

[ThePiombino]

I don't think Michigan will win, but Jesus guys...Alabama??? At least Michigan has some academic standards.

I have the dean of the Kinesiology dept on line 1 for you...

Desperately rooting here for a Michigan round 1 win, then a Washington national championship. Can’t stand to ever see bama win a single game but a Michigan national championship would be my worst nightmare

 

[PANDFAN]

I want to see Bama put it on them like Georgia just did to fsu.... is that asking too much? Good luck to our 2 resident Bama fans here! Roll tide!

 

[irishff1014]

I almost want to see That north team win so they will lose to Texas.

I can’t believe that I am even considering that……

 

[irishnd31]

Only suitable outcome...

POTY…. But I am pulling for our Bama friends tomorrow

 

[irishrb]

As the resident Bama exchange student, I'd like to extend a warm and sincere invitation to all my IE brothers to become Bama fans for the next few days as we take on Michigan in the CFP on Monday at 5 pm in The Rose Bowl. Anyone needing help with the Bama fight song, the proper use of the term Roll Tide, or which shirt to wear during the game can PM me. This will serve as the official prediction and game thread. Welcome aboard brothers!

What's your prediction for the playoffs?

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Is this game Under the Lights?
Tommy might find a way to phantom fumble the game away.

Beware the arm punts late...

 

[arrowryan]

Michigan is going to be in deep shit if they can't run the ball

yep because i don't think JJ can throw for 400 yds and win this because that isn't his game

 

[BoredIrish]

If Harbaugh goes to the NFL, I think his consensus replacement is Sherina Moore

Nope. Michigan has the worst QB in the CFP

 

[rikkitikki08]

I’d rather slam my dick into a door than root for either of those teams

I'm fine simply rooting against Michigan though.

Not according to Jim Harbaugh when he was at Stanford and remarking about his alma mater herding their players through BS majors for the sake of eligibility.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Go Huskies.

Aren’t you required by law to root for your conference affiliate?

Harbaugh will have them prepared, and they’ll keep Milroe’s passing game in check. That said, Michigan doesn’t have the horses to line up with Alabama. 27-13 Alabama.

Fuck em.

I did pull for Ole Miss and Mizzou though.

That's why I'm all in on Washington somehow getting this done. Three shit programs and them. Easy choice.

just can’t get behind rooting for a conference. It reeks of inferiority complex for the fans of mid-to-shitty teams that desperately want to be a part of a winning program so they take solace in their team getting waxed every year by the eventual champ like Bama or LSU. I have a buddy who is an Auburn fan & when pushed will admit he’ll root for Bama in their postseason games.

I hate scUM but can respect that most of their fans will never root for OSU. Same goes for the opposite scenario as Buckeye fans will be rooting for Bama tomorrow. Duke & UNC would never root for their rival in basketball. Yankees & Red Sox or Bears & Packers have similar sentiments. To each their own I guess.

There has got to be a 4th option

The tribalism bit with the SEC seems to go beyond athletics. I'll admit I can't explain it and I'll admit it makes little sense to me, but I think you've hit the nail on the head about the inferiority complex. It was evidenced yesterday when Ole Miss scored to go up 38-17 on Penn State and the SEC chants started. Here you are playing the third best Big Ten program in a bowl game on December 30th and you're exclaiming pride that you're part of a conference that you haven't won since the year President John F. Kennedy was killed.

Again, a lot of people have bought into the SEC messaging, and it's powerful enough that these programs bust out that chant whenever they're enjoying minimal to maximum success in a football game against a team from another conference.

Just for fun, where would OM finish in the Big Ten?

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Just for fun, where would OM finish in the Big Ten?

Which year under which HC?

It’s always ALL about the HC: Orgeron, Nutt, Freeze, Luke, Kiffin. Not all going to enjoy the same success.

Ask yourself who the HC was before their program changing HC arrived:

LSU pre- Saban
SC pre-Carroll
OU pre-Stoops
UT pre-Brown
UF pre-Spurrier
Bama pre-Saban & then Bama pre-Stallings
PSU pre-Paterno
ND pre-Holtz & then ND pre-Ara

Those weren’t names the average CFB fan will spit out.

 

[Sea Turtle]

I'm afraid the wolverines are going to chase the elephants into the tide of a river.

 

[BobbyMac]

We have plans...

I'd ask where the rest of it is but I know the answer.

So how was it and what kinda bbq sauce did ya use?

 

[BobbyMac]

I’d rather slam my dick into a door than root for either of those teams

Twice... and then rub one out with some broken glass & habanero lotion while sitting on a flaming porcupine listening to K Pop b-sides.

 

[BobbyMac]

This is the only solution:
