Nebraska is a worrisome detail to be sure but once U-M gets rid of Rich Rod's remaining influence (and players) I am certain that we will have a long and legitimate rivalry with Nebraska.

Crawl. Walk. Then Run.

I just want to beat MSU first.

i believe that michigan has a decent coach, but i just wonder if he will buckle under the pressure as well. but, yea i would love to see that rivalry pick up in the coming seasons.

i figured you would be more focused on the ohio state game since michigan might actually win that game. msu really got lucky last year with the notre dame game, and just hanging in their with the big ten.

I would normally be more focused on the OSU game but as it happens my MSU relatives are talking a LOT of smack. But even they aren't talking as much junk as the local radio talk show hosts, most of whom attended MSU and have been living in bliss for the past three years..

U-M's defense bends but doesn't break. A lot of work is needed but the main thing that will fix it is turnover. Robinson shows he's more than a flanker who can throw.

Notre Dame humiliated MSU. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving program. MSU that is, not Notre Dame.

Well this week is Michigan's first real test. It is also the opportunity to set things right and return MSU to their well deserved "little brother" status. Losing 3 years in a row to MSU is totally unacceptable. And 4 would be UNTHINKABLE!

Spielman and Meyer are actually pretty good color guys. They bring a lot as far as pointing out little things that the casual fan may not notice.

Congrats. ..I would have actually needed less. I threw a 10 point upset in the mix yesterday that I wouldn't have in normal situations, hoping to maybe make up some points. It almost happened too. 22-19. It still wouldn't have been enough though.
