I admire your optimism, I really do, and fine let's take the refs out of the equation. So let me ask you then, what is it that you see that points to a close game? I don't have blind hope, I'm just not seeing it.
Michigan with 11 players drafted

Well I don't really see PSU as some infallable juggernaut, and Harbaugh never gets blown out (except for the 15 OSU game, and let's not act like PSU 17 team will be anywhere near that 15 OSU team) and I don't see PSU as a great team, Vegas agrees with me
Exactly same one that forced Franklin to kick a field goal in the red zone down by 4 scores
Vegas agrees with you? Now?
What's the Vegas line today? I'll take that line for $1000, you and me.

It's YOU who said Michigan would take PSU to the woodshed, and cited history as if that has any relevance to this year.
Back up your ignorant statements or go away already.
You said "I bet it won't" in regards to me saying it will be a close game. You're the one saying it'll be a blow out not me I misread and figured you were talking about UofM as they've beaten PSU fairly handily in the last couple contests. So how many points do I get?
All three starting LB's, one of our bests corners, and I believe a lineman. Then one of the guys who did start at LB for that game got thrown out in the first quarter on a piss poor targeting penalty. Then his replacement went out with a knee injury. I'd say that's more than a couple.
I was watching the 2015 UofM vs PSU game. The one where Michigan was taking a knee in the red zone to end the game
You will get nothing and like it.
I'd take another beating from UM though to win the freaking conference, something your team hasn't done going on 14 seasons. Oh, and it's not "parody", it's "parity".
You aren't winning this year. Deal with it.
Bye.
You mean the team ranked in the top 10 preseason by everyone? You mean that PSU team?
So if a 12 point win is taking to the woodshed, then prepare to be taken to the woodshed this year. I think 12-14 sounds about right.
Wow your mad. Take care see you in October, it'll be a close one. I'd take a PSU loss to win the conference as well but for some reason Harbaugh can't lose to Franklin.
Five starters plays the next two backups. How would Michigan have done against OSU without a single starting LB plus their next two and one of their best CB's? I'll bet OSU would have won by a ton.
Cool I didn't realize pre season rankings mean anything ( UofM is pre season top 20 everywhere after losing 17 starters )
Two wins against a team coming off sanctions...that's a bit ridiculous to base a statement about one coach not being able to beat another. I guess you might as well hang up your season since Harbaugh can't beat Meyer.
Well you're basing your arguments on a team you don't even know anything about. All your guys graduated and you have no clue about the guys that will be playing. We know all of our returners because they all played last year. Man you're an idiot.
It's a shame that Michigan doesn't have its own website so this turd could have a place to converse...
We played Iowa the week before you! So what espxactly is down the stretch? The last game? We had already beaten Ohio State. Your last 6 games were about the same as our last six games. You were probably favored in all of those games to boot. So, blame your coach as opposed to coming over here making stupid statements. Don't you have friends to talk to or something?
Yes, a 39 point swing. As you might know (not sure because you're not real bright) the ability of the defense to stop the other team helps your offense. Since PSU had so many defensive guys out they couldn't do much to stop UM. Had they been able to slow them down, they not only would have given up fewer points but they would have scored more. Thereby easily making an entirely different game (yes, 39 points).
Ok, shaky but ok, so my follow up is do you think PSU would've won had they had those guys in the lineup instead of losing by 5 + touchdowns?
They weren't as you had both at home where as UofM had them on the road, is that fact somehow going over your head?
You're delusional. Jimmy would process someone in a heartbeat if he thought he had a chance to get Micah Parsons.
Plenty of the guys that will start played alot last year so let's not act like they're off the street. Hell UofM s dline went 9 deep I. The rotation last year with 5 guy returning, definitely not complete unknowns

You lost on the road to Iowa, in a game that the smart people you love in Vegas probably had you favored to win by double digits. Then you had OSU dead to rights at the Shoe in a game that Vegas probably had as a pick em, you know the smart people you talk about. Not our problem that your screwball coach spit the bit up.
Then you had FSU in a game that the smarties had you favored in and you spit up the bit. AGAIN. I know, that was a game away from MI too. Not to mention that Jabrill was busy starting to drink water so he's the reason you lost.
Well since I never made an excuse I'm not sure what you're getting at, pretty much said Michigan had a tougher schedule down the stretch which is true, the rest of what you said is pure non sense
At that pointin the season they would not have won, but they wouldn't have lost by five TD's either. Then again, if they would have played again even with the same guys, PSU wouldn't have lost by 39. Michigan was 39 points better on that day, but not in general. Just like when PSU beat OSU by 39 in 1994...had they played ten more times that year I doubt PSU would have beaten them by 39 in any of the remaining games. Sometimes things just go one team's way and a blow out occurs. At that point in the season, Michigan was a better team (not 39 points better, but better). At the end of the season I would say they were pretty even with a slight edge going to Penn State because they were clicking.
Fair enough and I kinda of agree to and extent , thanks for a response not filled with insults
What were you doing the evening of Dec 3rd 2016 and what was your 39 point victory team doing? I was watching PSU win the conference championship and pick apart a top ten defense. I imagine you and that team probably saw that game on tv. A lot of good your sept 39 point win did for you.
Hey man just saying I wouldn't talk trash about a team that destroyed you in season by 39 thats all. It's been rehashed over and over throughout the thread. Never said don't be happy with a B1G title
