The Official Nebraska vs ][V][ichigan Thread

[b311j]

What am I missing? Why do I see so many media types picking Nebraska to win? Maybe I have my homer glasses on too tight today but I don't see this being the close Nebraska win I keep hearing about. I see the Run-Denard-Run offense going off today. Fitz's continued sluggishness sees Rawls get back on the field and play a lot in the second half. Denard goes over 200yds rushing. Norfleet channels his inner Breaston and pulls me out of the chair twice on returns, but isn't able to take either the distance.

][V][ Go Blue

I have been wondering the same thing. I know it isnt easy to win @Neb and several have said its even harder at night. I swear Martinez gets more credit than Denard does. The fact is they are both TO prone. If our defense keeps playing as well as they have then we can and should won this game.

Well, objectively speaking...it may be because Denard Robinson has tended to be fairly error prone in big conference games on the road.

That said, hoping that trend changes today.

Herbstreit picked Michigan on Game Day (he did call us "Big Blue" though - how dare he?).

Corso picked Nebraska, which is probably a good thing; seems the few times he picks Michigan we end up not doin' so good...

I can't wait to watch Martinez roll out towards Jake Ryan...

Ryan is a beast. He is my favorite defensive player by far. He is just old school football stud who can do it all.

Northwestern won at Nebraska last season. I don't see the Nebraska D stopping the Michigan O. That being said, I think the Michigan D can stop the Nebraska O. I don't think this one is going to be low scoring like some are saying either.

I love getting dirty looks from fans of the opposing team lol. my friends will be giving me more Hell before the game than any of them could muster up.

Nebraska is the type of program that's easy to like if you're not a rival. Good clean wholesome football played in the middle of nowhere by kids that came from the cornfields around.

The whole thing about playing at night and being at home is hype. The crowd will be loud but no louder than Wisky or any other rival's stadium. It's all up to Denard (Borges) vs Martinez and not turning the ball over. Maybe this is the game where Shoelace bgins to click with the passing to loosen up the run.

If that's the case it could be a blowout. If Denard turns it over five ****ing times, well ...Michigan is ****ed.

It's a tough call, but I guess I'll have the Michigan game on the main screen with the audio, and watch the Tigers on one of the side screens.

Of course, that could change depending on what is happening.

And of course I'll flip when the Michigan game goes to station break.

 

[wheels002]

Yeah tonight should be a great sports night. I will be watching the U of M game on the TV and have the ws on gamecast. But I am also interested in the ND vs Okla game and the Bama Miss St game.
