Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

remember watching Franks a couple years back in that Army bowl game. Big time arm, great size but looked about as raw as it gets. Not sure Doug Nussmeir is the guy to coach him up. That dude was a disaster as OC at Michigan. All the QB's seemed to regress under him. Don Brown is not a good DC to face for a Frosh making his first start ever while missing his top WR and RB. They don't call Brown Dr. Blitz for nothing. Just sayin'.

I didn't see where that article suggested more were coming.

I did get an email from Macelwain asking if I could suit up.

I was the one thinking that Florida would roll in this one.  When the first 7 were suspended, really only one was a starter, so I still though Florida had a good shot.  Now with their starting RB and WR out, I'm willing to admit that Michigan probably has the edge now.  I still don't think it will be a blowout, but I'm willing to see it as a competitive game now.

How would a Wolverine fare against a Gator, within the confines of the animal kingdom?

Well, I've gotten to the bottom of that. 
The Wolverine prevails over the Gator with ease.

Before the suspensions, I would have put $100 on Florida, and I think that I have made a grand total of 2 money sports bets in my life previously.

I think you are drastically underestimating the impact of losing 14 starters.  Yeah yeah....the brand new talent......blah blah blah.

A) You are assuming that the Michigan talent was worlds ahead of Florida.  It's better, but it's not THAT much better.

B) Both teams are going into an unknown environment.  When going to a neutral site, I'll take the more experienced team.

C) Michigan was good last year, no doubt, but their success was a bit of a product of their schedule.  They played exactly 5 games away from Michigan Stadium and lost three of them.  The two they won (@ Rutgers and @ MSU) had a combined record of 5-19 (really only 4-18 since one of MSU's wins was against Rutgers....).

Again, this was before the latest Florida suspensions and before they named the RS FS starting QB.  The first bout of suspensions was mostly freshmen.  It would have hurt depth, but it wasn't going to have a huge affect on the outcome of the game.  Now that more starters are suspended and the threat of future suspensions are coming, I agree that the team psyche could be shot and I no longer think that Florida has the edge it had.

So I'll stand by the original statement.  I thought Florida was going to roll Michigan.  Now?  Who knows, but I still believe it wont be a blowout.  We'll find out in a couple of days.

Well, Michigan has no excuse for not winning.  They are favored obviously, and now all this.

If perchance they did slip up, it would not auger well for JH.
