Dear Michigan fans (A letter from a Bama Fan)

    Michigan is (12-5) against SEC. Different class? What do you work at ESPN?

    This is not your Dad's UM team

    Little brother generally tags along wherever we go. After awhile, you get used to it.

    Oh, uniformed Sparty fans are here making things up. Michigan 4-2 since 2000 against the SEC. That is WAY too current for my dad.

    This is what makes the first games exciting in a way entirely different than in-conference rivalry games. That is EVEN MORE true for an early top 25 showdown.

    It's like Christmas and you don't really know what is in the box. You have an idea, but it could surprise you. The anticipation is great.

    I think the BSU/MSU has the same potentially surprising aspects.

    Yep, I agree. I'm much more nervous for the Boise/MSU game than ND/MSU; quirky things happen in first games. Look no further than LSU/Oregon. Pair of fumbles from a true FR turn a close game into a route.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    Records like that are meaningless considering the personnel on UM's team..

    Stats from the 80s, 90s and even early 2000s don't mean anything considering what happened during the RR era

  • Good to see this getting to a MSU/Michigan argument now. That's more along the lines of play Michigan is almost to these days.

    True, but Bo's first four bowl games were three Rose Bowls against USC and an Orange Bowl against Oklahoma. The opponents were all top 5 teams. The game against Oklahoma was effectively for the NC. A bit different from losing to Boston College in the Champs Sports Bowl and unranked Texas Tech in the Alamo Bowl.

    Don't worry. You guys didn't embarrass the hell out of them in their home stadium... 24-0.

    Tell me, how does it feel to have your only national championship in over 50 years Eiffel towered by Bama?

    Hey now, MSU's had some difficult bowl matchups.. BC with Matt Ryan.. UGA with Stafford/Moreno.. TT was without 9 starters

    Dear Michigan fans,

    You are hereby, cordially invited to Dallas this September 1st to witness the beatdown of a lifetime at the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide.

    I apologize in advance for how hard we hit and I cannot guarantee the safety of Denard Robinson as he will be a marked man and shown to you all that he is not an elite player but merely just another player who will fall short of expectations as the Tide runs over you.

    I apologize for Eddie Lacy, as he will have over 150 yards and 2 TDs, Jalston Fowler and our new friend TJ Yeldon. They will repeatedly gash your run defense and make you question whether you need a new DL coach. That is not our intention.

    I apologize for our offensive lineman as they will continually knock the hell out of your pathetic sorry excuse of a defensive line.

    I fully expect our backups to be in by the 4th quarter and maybe then but probably not, you will finally score a TD.

    If we score less than 30 I will be disappointed and if you score more than 10 I will be surprised. This is the type of beatdown you will receive.

    We may be nice and not quite give you the lashing we gave your little brother in 2010 but be reminded this game will hurt as you will find out that you are not "back". You are merely a good team in a good conference. Not elite.

    Many of you will respond to this with replies of protest, anger and even acceptance. Just know that life will go on and wounds will heal eventually, at least the physical ones. Emotionally, this may screw up your team for life and again, I apologize.

    Now you ask, Ichabod how are you so cocky and arrogant about this game? And the answer is simple and it explains why we are elite and you are a simple peasant in this game of College Football. It's because of Nick Mother F'n Saban. He is the Alpha and Omega of this game, beginning and the end. He shoots lasers out of his eyes and farts rainbows. He once winked at a player and the player exploded. Processed.

    Enjoy being undefeated for the next 20 days and I wish you well in your quest for a Big 10 championship.

    Signed,

    Ichabod

    Michigan fans: as you know, not all of the Bama fan base is as assinine as Ichabod. We may believe everything he said, but definitely don't want to b a blowhard. I don't give a rats ass how many posts he has done; his pompous ness has made him a fool. By a real Bama fan

    You must have forgot Oregon scored with 13 seconds left to make it 40-27. It should have been 40-20. Your shut your dirty mouth

    Earned it? Dog, you don't earn respect by how many posts someone delivers; It's the quality posts, not quantity that should determine whether someone has "earned it." Let's Just quit talkin the smack & trash & let our boys in uniform do the talkin for us all. Incidentally, I know Ichabod was having fun, & has posted some excellent information; but for Christ's sake, that was extreme show-boatin & it pissed me off...

    Respect that, but most of us aren't expecting a win.

    However these idiots saying it's going to be a blowout, are either extremely biased or know nothing..

    I'm predicting Bama 24-14 Michigan
