So....is Spieght really playing, or is Harbaugh trying some weird brain trickery here with tOSU?

If he plays, I would be willing to bet some cash it would be until the first hit and he will be out.  O'Korn will likely play beginning to end.  Just Harbaugh doing his thing, thinking anyone is falling for it is the joke.

Best thing was, we beat Michigan and that PSU loss actually helped us with the CFP.  Nice.

Yeah...no...

 

[Bobcat10]

Yeah...no...

I'm guessing he's saying it's better to lose mid season in conference versus your conference championship game?  

Not sure it matters this year with OSU.

All I know is a Michigan loss and a PSU win over MSU gets us to the conference championship and keeps CFP birth alive although still unlikely.

Ohio State didn't beat Michigan so we can start there.  Losing to PSU hasn't hurt yet, but it might be the difference between the Fiesta Bowl (playoff) and the Cotton Bowl vs Western Michigan.

And we're going to be in the shower trying to scrub off the shame.

Bah!  Embrace it!  You know you want to....Cmon now...say it with me.....

O - H !

Nobody called the outcome of the game yet. He implied "if".

Ummmm..

 

[playin4beer]

As an MSU fan, I'm usually pretty uninterested in this game..  However, some of my Michigan friends have been pretty unbearable this year..  I can't count how many facebook posts I've been tagged in with "Who's got it better than us!!?!"   And "lil brother is back where he belongs" type crap.. 

So, before the Iowa meltdown and Speight's injury, a couple of them offered me a $100 bet, even up, no points on the OSU game.  I kept telling them all year that Michigan hadn't played a true road game yet and it was going to be tough to win in the Horseshoe..  They were having none of that talk... 

Well, I'll be watching Saturday... Oh, and GO NUTS!!!

If OSU beats Michigan, they are in the playoff. Anyone who thinks differently is smoking something.

As Mad Cow said, losing to PSU kept OSU from having to win the conference championship game too.

Ummmm..

 Too soon.  For a long time, too soon.

 

[Politician Spock]

Ummmm..

That was one hell of a :softball: Tom posted.

I would say he meant Michigan State...but whatever works.

 Completely unintentional.

Tried to overlook that one.  I knew it was still a little too soon for Tom and others from that area.

 

[Bobcat10]

Ah, maybe.  No idea then lol.  

Feels like the game is tomorrow.  At least we get to stuff our faces instead.

 

[Sinrman]

Should be a really great, nail-biter.  If we (UM) can somewhat contain Barrett and Weber, we have a good chance of winning.  A bit worried about our offense though.

GO BLUE!

 

[NotSmart]

Pappy's Staff:
The reason he's pullin' our pants down.

Pappy's Staff:
Gonna paddle a little behind.

Pappy's Staff:
Ain't gonna paddle it - gonna kick it, real hard.

Pappy's Staff:
No, I believe he's gonna paddle it.

Pappy's Staff:
I don't believe that's a proper characterization.

Pappy's Staff:
Well, that's how I'd characterize it.

Pappy's Staff:
I believe it's more of a kickin' sitcheyation.

 

[Ilov80s]

The team, the team, the team...

 

[Ilov80s]

Really great breakdown of the matchup.

Speight is out throwing and it's reported to have some zip.

I'd love to beat them with their regular QB. No excuses.

BRING IT!

I want Harbaugh humiliated again.

 

[Glass Joe]

Good god I dislike big nut.

 

[Mad Cow]

O-H!

 

[Mad Cow]

It is rocking in the 'Shoe!  Would be great to be there.

 

[Mad Cow]

Now this is nice.  Let's do this all day.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Michigan stopped themselves on their opening drive.  

 

[BigJohn]

One word. Turnover. This game is going to be decided by a big turnover at a big time in the game. 

 

[NutterButter]

Speight looking really good

 

[Johnny Rock]

I hate both teams. But what is with these ugly plain dark gray helmets for Ohio St.? The helmet color by itself is ok but plain. Just doesn't match their color scheme and no logo. Terrible.

Horrible

 

[Glass Joe]

He's been really good. And the play calling has left osu confused.

 

[Johnny Rock]

OMG that WR was mauled before the ball arrived. No call against OS there?!

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Good game so far.  Michigan seems to have the "MO" at the moment.

3 points ain't nothing.  

 

[ffldrew]

Aren't those blindside hits outlawed now?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Setting the defensive ends wide giving OSU fits 

 

[BobbyLayne]

Nice punt 

 

[NutterButter]

What kind of pass protection is that where the center slides out to pick up the end?

 

[NutterButter]

OSU offense is struggling

 

[Mad Cow]

Dang, Paris Campbell wide open streaking down the field, and not the first time this game that has happened.  It is there, just need JT to see and hit it.

 

[Ilov80s]

Happy so far. Pleasantly surprised by how well UM has been at the LoS.

3rd and long, should've taken a shot.

 

[Mad Cow]

Yeah, you actually have to block if you want to be all fancy lining up, Wolverines.

 

[Bobcat10]

3rd and long, should've taken a shot.

He didn't look that way at all to me.

Good game so far, will be interesting to see what happens when osu isn't starting so deep in their end, if it ever turns.

Probably saw the initial double cover applied by the safety and ruled that out.  Would've been a tough decision with initial coverage and also the pressure he's been under.
