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

He seemed day-to-day by the end of last week, so I figured he'd sit versus Troy to be ready for Michigan.

Ah, I was wrong then -- knew he wasn't practicing by Tuesday (which is the unofficial cut off point for game time at most schools) but thought he was day to day by Saturday. 

I think for Michigan the game really depends on three things. Offensive line. Obvious. They need to be way better in pass protection and in a hurry.  Secondly- Harbaugh needs to unleash Patterson and use the pass to set up the run. IF he keeps trying to force a running game that isn't there this game will be closer than it needs to be. And last but not least- the defense. The defense has just been sluggish the first 3 weeks. Was really expecting so much more. They've started all 3 games off looking uninterested and lousy. I want to see them start out with an edge and play an entire game like their hair is on fire. They've played lousy, sloppy football for 3 weeks. They have the talent and ability to play so much better on defense.

I just want to know who the idiot Nebraska player that said this about Charles Woodson was;

“Their best defensive player was a poor-tackling cornerback,” says former Cornhuskers middle linebacker Jay Foreman.

Charles Woodson a poor-tackler? Lol. Woodson is one of the best tackling cornerbacks this game has ever seen. He is a future NFL Hall of Famer. Who is this scrub from Nebraska? How dare this peasant open his mouth to speak the name of one of the all-time greats. Someone should slap this fool.

what ifs man.    there are handful of games from the 90s we'd all love to have seen.

MDot just reminded me that Frost actually hung around the NFL for six seasons (mostly as a Safety IIRC).  I have no recollection  (Browns, Packers, Jets I think).   I think he had an INT. I'm guessing he was a scout guy sharpening his pencils for coaching.

I won't defend Foreman's trolling remarks re: Woodson, but he was hardly a slouch of a MLB.   He didn't have the decorated NFL career of his father (Chuck) that's for sure, but I recall he played for some period (Texans/Bills maybe) (I don't watch pro football much at all and watched virtually none in 2000-2003 during law school).

There was plenty of solid talent on the two-way on that team that played for a long time on Sundays.  Defensively Ralph (ok career) and Mike (quite good) Brown, Mike Rucker, Kyle Vandenbosh, Grant Wistrom, Eric Warfield, Jason Peter.   A few other dudes hung around for a cup of coffee or typical 3 yr trips through the league, Carlos Polk, Eric Johnson, Steve Warren and Foreman.

Offensively:  definitely the weakest Sunday crop of their mid 90s run, still not bad, Ahman Green is the Packers all time leading rusher.   Correll Buckhalter RB, somehow lasted forever with the Eagles, I swear that guy had nine lives, he would take an option pitch or toss in college and run forward for nine yards and fall forward. What did the NFL see in him to let him play until 2010 and 3 knee surgeries?  Kris Brown kicked for a decade.  Dominic Raiola seemed to be the Lions Center for a long time, unless I'm misremembering.  Russ Hochstein played some OL, Sheldon Jackson had a cup of coffee.     

97 UNL beats 97 Michigan by 17... and it's not that close.
