On the arrogance front, only Notre Dame fans are in the same area as Michigan.
Alabama and Ohio State fans would like a word....

utee how you feeling about the new Texas DT's replacing Byron Murphy & T'Vondre Sweat after week 1? Michigan tackles first week played pretty well, but inside the line at guard-center-guard had some issues with communication on passing off blockers and who they were suppose to combo block- and they split reps between two different centers because it doesn't seem like either one has outright won the job.

this will be arguably the key matchup in the game that Michigan has to get right in a week or they stand very little shot.

Sark is 1-4 vs Top 10 teams (at Texas). Sark's record vs Top 10 teams in his stops at Washington & USC was 1-5, with the win coming when he was at Washington vs #3 USC. Career wise vs Top 10 ranked teams he's 2-9.  

Sark's record vs Top 10's at Texas: 

2021: vs #6 Oklahoma - L by 7 points
2022: vs #1 Alabama - L by 1 point (probably should've won that one)
2022: vs #4 TCU - L by 7 points
2023: @ #3 Alabama - W by 10 points 
2023: vs #2 Washington - L by 6 points 


That win on the road vs Bama was huge and really a turning point for him and that program. Before that Sark was a pretty mediocre coach at Washington & USC, but he seems to have turned a corner as a coach at Texas.

also, how are Texas' LB's/Safeties in coverage vs TE's?

that could be a huge matchup for Michigan if Texas struggles to cover the TE. Colston Loveland might just be the best TE the entire nation. Michigan needs to feed him targets. If he doesn't get 10-15 targets this game it'll be a mistake on the OC's part.

Alabama fans don't know words.

They'd look up 'rrogance in the dictionary under R, just like readin', writin', and 'rithmatic...

...if they owned a dictionary that is...

At least one thing I can say out here on the West Coast is that USC fans don't hold a candle to any of those schools... Those fans can be arrogant even when their teams suck. When USC sucks, good luck finding a USC fan anywhere around here! They're all cheering on the Rams and/or Chargers. :57:

also: for Michigan to win the game they are going to need big play Donovan Edwards to show up, not 11 carries for 30 yards Donovan Edwards.

The kid is a god damn enigma at this point and I don't think his coaches know how to properly use him, but kid is as explosive and talented an offensive player as I've ever seen and has a knack of making huge plays in big games. they need that version of Donovan Edwards to show up on Saturday if they want a shot at all.

this is pretty cool. greatest Michigan player ever, dude was Superman on the football field. he has a similar deal with the Raiders where he was a HOF player. official spirit drink of the Raiders and now Michigan- who will allow alcoholic beverage sales inside Michigan Stadium for the first time ever.

My iPhone says it'll be cool in Ann Arbor on Saturday with a high of 60, with a chance of light rain from 7am through much of the game.  Grasping at straws...
