Michigan Tuesday: The Real Big Ten Championship

Sadly, Michigan Football has never been to Indy to play a Big Ten Championship game and this year won't be an exception.   If you want to enjoy your Thanksgiving meal, don't consider that Minnesota could attend before Michigan does.

With all that said, the real Big Ten Championship will be played on Saturday.   Ohio State has already beat Wisconsin and nobody is losing sleep over playing Minnesota.  Michigan of course lost to Wisconsin and Penn State already.   Both games were on the road and if Michigan doesn't sleep walk to a 21-0 deficit would have won easily in Happy Valley.    Michigan is playing its best football of the year and I believe would be favored now over Wisconsin at a neutral site.   Which means the two best football teams in the Big 10 are playing in Ann Arbor on Saturday.

The Michigan coaches and players are saying all the right things during their Monday press availability, lets see if that translates to the field.

  • Seems Jimmy's brother is putting together another Super Bowl run with a dynamic athlete at QB, a strong defense, and a power running game.  Seems Jimmy did something similar at the 49'ers.

  • 4 star S RJ Moten Michigan commit visited USC last weekend and will be back in Ann Arbor this weekend.  He seems a little shaky in his commitment and this weekend could go a long way on confirming his signature in early December. 

  • Willie Taggart never signed his contract at FSU and may not be due is $17M+, which would suck for him.  He actually might need a job on Jimmy's staff. 

  • Austin Hatch is now a full time motivational speaker, good for him!

Everybody's pretty quiet on this message board. It's funny how it ebbs and flows depending on wins and losses. I bet it'll blow up Saturday big time if we happen to lose.

Bet it blows up even bigger if we win.

I think people are more nervous and bit scared because the outcome of the game on Saturday might not be so pleasant....

All the, fire this guy, bench that player, has suddenly disappeared. If you're not bitching now, don't switch horses and bitch if they lose this weekend. This is a general comment not directly fired at any one person. Pleasant might be putting it mildly.

I'm very hopeful that they can challenge OSU this week. Winning will be a stretch, but solid defense and consistent offense should make it a close game. If we can't do that, then it's pretty depressing.
Szanerno, I've been one of those saying wished we started Dylan last year and then had him full swing this year. I still wish that, despite Shea's good play the past two games. We've lost the last two years and not sure the offense is any better positioned for next year - think would have been smarter to plan ahead a bit. My dos pesos

Don't get me wrong I'm fine with true criticism. Like Haskins missed blitzing linebackers, or Shea missed some run reads or Nico's running lazy routes. Don't come on here and say fire this guy or bench that player with no follow-up or reason just because you're pissed. That's just lazy.

Go Gators. How can Harbaugh kick a field goal when he needs a ton of points

My current contract for over 50 again this year. We get destroyed by Florida we scored a touchdown on us. Why can't we win big games. I want so much to do relevant like Florida

Correction, the Buckeyes are on track for over 50 and Florida scored a ton of points on us also
