I like Michigan and their fans but the same will not be said for us from their point of view after the game. You can tell yourself one thing, but our players have already taken notice to it and it is a starter(So don't pull out the some hot head freshman card). Now Michigan did nothing to bring it upon themselves, but this one could get UGLY.
Lebron James is easily the best basketball player in the league currently...

We've been playing big boy football for over 130 years and dominated in an era when the sport was nearly outlawed due to its violence. And we've played plenty of SEC teams in the past 25 years and have a very good record against them. That includes Bama, btw, and Urbie's defending national championship team led by the Great Tebow. Save your bluster. Or, better yet, put the energy into preparing for the game. You aren't playing Sparty this time. It will be a major disappointment to everyone if Bama shows up overconfident and unprepared and we have to call off the dogs early. I am paying a lot to travel to Dallas and I want my full 60 minutes worth.

Lay off the kool-aid Mr. Woodson. You do realize that before this year y'all won 15 and lost 22 right? Yeah, we sucked, but we have been back in the game for a few years. You don't just have one magic year and then beat down the defending national champions(Or really stay close to them if you're a B1G team) LOL at Michigan having to call the dogs off early. Now I may be mistaken, but y'all lost to Michigan State this year by 14, correct? We beat them by 42 last year(Now obviously that isn't always comparable) but the point difference is astounding, and I have no idea how you could possible make the comment "You aren't playing Sparty this time. . . " You are right, apparently we are playing someone was not as good lol

No kidding. Sparty is a better program lately and has been dominating Michigan since......
The fact that you mention that, "You aren't playing Sparty this time," shows your delusions. I get it. We were there as well. Auburn was a much better program from 2002-2007 in our state. Tables have been reversed and maybe you'll get there too in the next few years, but your not there now.

Don't forget that while we were beating MSU by 42, they were getting stomped by Miss St to the tune of 40 or so.
When was the last time a "big boy" got beat by Miss St like that?

Believe what you want, but when you line up on the other side of the field from us in Dallas you won't be staring across at RR and his 110th ranked defense. Of course, if it helps you sleep better to think of it that way, by all means go ahead.

Promise you they will be prepared. And ready for a big boy game on a huge stage. Hope you guys are ready.

It's nice to see that so many Bama fans think that Saban is classless. I mean only a schmuck would run up the score because of what a conference commissioner said.

Defense?
You gave up more points against tOSU, MSU, and ND than we did all year.
You gave up the same number of rushing TDs last year as we have given up the last 3 years. You held 3 teams to single digits. We allowed more than 11 points 3 times.
Our standards for defense are just a tad different.

Way to miss his whole entire point and just use the post to brag about Bama's D. It's a good thing we aren't playing last year's Bama team.

Only a schmuck that is a conference commissioner would act so childish to call a team out that is set to dismantle his conferences 4th best program.....4th maybe a little generous, but we'll go with it.

His point was to say Michigan's defense was improved last year. Only problem is improved doesn't equal good or talented.

Bravo! Which means Michigan isn't that same team that has been bad the last few years. Hoke did an outstanding job taking a D ranked in the 100's to get them to the number 6 scoring D and 17th total D in one year. We expect to see more improvement in his 2nd year.

Now I don't hate Michigan fans, and I do not think it will be like 70-0, but our gys to pay attention to thinks and y'all are unfortunately linked to Delaney in our players minds lol. I expect about a 30-10 or 25-10 type game. That will be good for UM IYAM.

i wouldn't of been suprised by that type of score without Delany saying anything. Most Michigan fans do not think we will win this game.

Improvement is one thing. Having talent is another.
Good luck though....I really hate the suckeyes and Coronary Meyers.

It's not like the players weren't taking things seriously to begin with. It's Michigan, on Nat'l TV, and the 1st game of the year. I just think Saban will be out to make Delany and the B1G look bad now.
I still think Hoke has Michigan on the right path and is probably only a couple of years from competing on a national stage for championships. I would say he is probably the best coach in the B1G and has 2 pretty good cordinators as well.

Didn't say none. Just a difference right now. We were there. I remember the difference. We went 10-3 in 2005 and thought we had a talented team. Then when Saban started bringing his guys in it was unreal.

Yeah. I disagree with you on Saban. I don't think he will do that to Michigan and Hoke. I think he has more class than that. That's just my personal opinion. I think Saban understands that Delany is an administrator who sits in his office all day and Hoke and Michigan football have no control over what comes out of his pie hole.

I hope so. I do think Saban respects Michigan and the "hatred" as probably more than worn off with the length of time since he was at MSU, but this one might burn him deep. A lot of time between now and September (118 days I think), but right now he is still steaming it appears from his comments.

Our defense is more than good enough to keep us in the game. And it's not like Bama has a juggernaut of an offense. You put up 6 points at home against LSU and that was with Richardson. How are Lacy's toe and Dee Hart's knee, btw? And do you have any decent WRs yet? You know, defense only takes you so far. You have to be able to score points, too.
