If there is one coach I truly can't stand it is Brian Kelly of ND. The guy just seems like a miserable human being. Or maybe that is just my poor, limited impression. He may just be done after this year. Mich. St. manhandled ND. Then they just lost to.....Duke  Now I just watched Syracuse march through ND like water for a TD. This after Kelly just firing his D coordinator. I hate ND, almost as much as I hate Ohio St. But respect both. Maybe it would be good if Kelly stayed.....  ND seems to be overrated very damn year. Much like Stanford. As coaches go, Harbaugh has to be in the top three. The guy just plain Ol knows how to win.

Harbaugh was the best hiring Michigan could have ever possibly made. Period. And he has ALL of Wolverine nation behind him 110%.
If Michigan can keep a few guys from entering draft this year, they could be really something next year. Harbaugh has yet to be afforded the luxury of an experienced QB. Or at least one that he has got to mold himself. I swear, it seems like Barrett has been at Ohio St. for about 10 years now. Ol' Urban really worked his QB situation well last few years.....

I'll be headed to the game shortly after 2:00pm today - glad it's not going to rain. I hate 3:30 starts - messes up the whole day.
Go Blue !

Michigan has a slight edge offensively but everything else points to a Badger win. They are physical on both sides of the ball. Bielema found out after going to Arkansas that those big, corn fed, white boys are tougher than your average player. Ain't none to be found in Arkansas! powdr

Agreed on that. That is what worries me. Michigan easily has the "flashier" players, but football is won in the trenches.
Michigan's D line ain't too shabby though.......

Good to see both those teams on top.
Should be a great game! Hmmm...not above Ohio State!

Michigan will cover the spread. Lewis is back. He and Jabril will shut down any passing game. The new kid Gary is fast coming around the end. I expect Michigan's D to score. Their offense, while starting slow in recent games, are the 3rd most productive in the nation right now.
Wisconsin has the beef though. #64 looks like he ate a bus. Their running back is good too. The freshman quaterback did well against a diminished MSU secondary. We'll see what he does against one of the best in the nation.
Wife went to UM and sister went to UW. Things are getting a bit sporty here as we lead up to kick-off.

Hope Michigan wins. It will help out the Aggies in the Top 25 rankings

Wow. Michigan has missed 3 mid-range FGs. With 2 different kickers now.
I expected a low scoring defensive battle, and squandering 9 points just may end up biting them in the a$$.....

Michigan FG kickers are keeping WI in the game.

This game has been pretty fugly offensively. But that is clearly because it features 2 really tough defenses.
Neither QB has ever seen so much pressure.....

If Michigan can somehow pull this out, Harbaugh needs to have a come-to-Jesus with his kicking staff and O line. Why the best kicker on the team is on the bench, I don't know. Quinn Norden is the guy that Harbaugh slept over his house when recruiting. Canon for a leg.
Wisconsin is as tough as nails. Watt is a beast like his brother. I shudder to think of what would've happened if they had that injured LB playing. My analysis above was way off.
