John, yes, Michigan pulled out a W in a tough environment last week facing adversity, a positive sign. I wouldn’t have guessed it from the start of the season, so props.

WRT to MSU, the score was closer than it should have been. I’m now analyzing Penn State, and I have to say, I don’t like this match up for the Bucks.

First off i would have to say i think Michigan proved a lot saturday night against Illinois. They didn’t have there leader,Mike Hart, at the time due to a high ankle sprain. Chad Henne and Mario Mannigham were both injured during the game. Michigan’s defense i think rose up to the challenge and showed people that they can somewhat stop and options attack offense. Good job to OSU too, they pulled out a big win over Michigan State. Well i guess we’ll see how they do against Penn State’s tough D. Just for the record i am a Michigan fan and i’m looking forward to this years OSU, Michigan game.

Noyb, glad you don’t hate tOSU. I don’t hate Michigan either, in fact, I root for Michigan in every game except against the Buckeyes. Why you might ask? Because I want both teams to have as many wins and be as highly rated as possible. It makes the rivalry that much better.

I do like to poke fun from time to time however. But I hope that it’s not taken as being mean spirited.

Again, post a link to video evidence and I’ll comment. The game was nearly a year ago, I wrote this entry a year ago. I haven’t watched the game since then.

If there was a pick and it was illegal, that was a whiff by the refs too. However, the blatant holding is what stood out in that game to me, still does. I’ve never seen so much tackling by an offensive line in a single game.

Noyb, Huh? So you’re Michigan fan living in Columbus, that would be a tough life I’d think. Glad you support your team. I support mine too, what’s the question?

BTW, your team needs all the support it can get this year. It was a tough start to the year. You must be happy with the victory in Champaign tonight.
