we can lose to other teams and have a great season... we can not lose to this team and have a great season imo... and it sounds like many here agree with me there... let's just hope the players are reading all this stuff and getting overly stressed and or amped.

The game is not only important to win for the psyche of the team, but it's no doubt our biggest recruiting weekend. Go Irish!

I would love to see this be the beginning of the end of the RichRod era. Don't ya think that there are a few Wolverine fans that quietly hope so too??? Would Wolverine fan take a 6-6 season for a shot at "The Hat" or Harbaugh?

I'm really sick of hearing about Denard Robinson. He had one good game!!! The dude didn't even start last year!

Mark May has officially picked Michigan to win... so that leaves two other games (Pitt and SC) that he can pick against us while sticking with his 9 win pick... or will he just pick against us every week like the last two years and say he was right either way...??

Yeah they are making him sound like Bo Jackson from tecmo bowl. He's good dont get me wrong and I think he's gonna have a helluva day against us unfortunately. I just think once the big ten games start, he's not gonna be as good.

This will be the first beating he'll take, whether he wins or not. Once the Big10 Schedule rolls in, he is done, like Forcier.

6-6 and a win against tOSU, ha ha, and he keeps his job.

This is a twitter message from Tate's dad apparently. People are reading into this that Tate is going to see the field against us, and that they are going to unveil Tate and Denard in the backfield. I'm not too worried about it, and I'd be shocked if they didn't have some wrinkles to throw at us.

I think we be favored by 3 and a half . I won't lie Michigan looked good but honestly if you watched game Conn looked horrible they didn't even show up to play . We won the Purdue game without really using the kelly throwing spread. So michigan hasn't seen much to go on I really like our chances here. Honestly I think alot the wind got taken out of our sails in 2nd quarter but we were a fumble away from blowing them out . This game will hardly be a walk but, honestly Purdue played way better than Conn. who happens to be owned by Dick Rod.( he's 5-0 I believe). So relax have some Kool-aid 2-0 might be closer than you think.
hey I was right !!!!!!!!!!!

All the media outlets picking a Michigan "upset." FOX, ESPN, even NBC. Hope the boys are ready to pound 'em. Prove them all wrong!!

Desmond Howard pointed out all the flaws in Michigans defense and showed how terrible they were and then picked the Wolverines. hmmm?? I love the hatred that everyone has for us. I also like how Michigan went from a 6-6 team to a 9-3 team and D. Robinson is the "most dynamic player in college football." Really?? We'll find out what are defense is all about today!!

+1 for the Desmond 'Homer' pick....

One thing we showed last week was discipline - good wrapping-up on tackling and no penalties on offense or defense (I think the 2 we got were both on special teams)

If, if, if we have the same discipline today, we are in for a good game and good win..

If we lose to this team two years in a row (sorry there is no excuse here.... talent wise we win by wide margins currently)... then there may be something systemically wrong somewhere...

I just can't figure out how a group with this talent can't deliver with consistency... hopefully this is the first of many games that proves that eraof ND football is behind us... this is really a huge statement for this core of players... maybe the biggest until SC. Serious put up or shut up time.

I couldnt agree with you more. We have to win the games that we should win. On paper we are by far the better team. I know thats why you play the game and anything can happen in a rivalry game but we need to win this damn football game. Last week was nice for BK but this is the real statement game in my mind. Its time for us to show up and take care of buisness. This is way more than just a 2-0 start, this is an early season defining moment on so many levels. This game is big for momentum, RECRUITING, and for making a statement to the nation that BK and the Irish are for real.

There was something systemically wrong last year...and that has been corrected. 5th year coach, 3yr starter at QB, etc......that loss was unacceptable. A win this year will be a nice surprise and perhaps a telling sign of better days ahead.

Yep. Agree completely.

Although officiating had MUCH to do with last year's loss.

just for the record this is exactly what people said at this time last year...

It's not that I don't believe... BK is recruiting well and his trck record is proven, we'll be back... but I am tired of counting chickens before the eggs are even laid... as far as this season goes... time to prove it... today.

True-Dat!!! The comment by Coach Kelly was to bring the Irish back to the winning of ball games. "The team needs to know the importance of winning football games..."

Well..... today's football game is a very important one we need to win... This will shut up a lot of people and prove a lot to others....
