Apparently I work with Bizarro ELA. The guy is a Michigan fan. But today he showed up in a Michigan State shirt. And it was nice. Brand new. looked like he spent a pretty penny on it. So I kind of looked at him a little sideways. He ignored me. So I upped the cartoonish nature of my sideways glance just a hair. Finally he cracked. "I like 'em as long as they're not playing Michigan!"

Sounds like Hill, Long, and Bush sitting out too. That’s 4 of your staters on defense sitting out. Wonder if Chase sits as well.

Aren't they all underclassmen?  I would guess they'd declare before making a decision there, so I'm calling BS

Over/Under on the number of defensive starters UM has to sit before Florida can score 30 on them?  I put it at 6.




It seems like FR QB Emory Jones will play, though I don't know how much.  He's more of a runner than a passer, but he's a capable passer in limited time thus far.  We have 2 bangers at RB.  OSU transfer Trevon Grimes had his first 100 yard game vs FSU, I'm sure he's looking forward to having another big game vs Michigan.  Our RT is looking like he'll leave early, probable 1st-rounder (Jawaan Taylor).  




All I heard the middle of the season about UM was how their OTs sucked....well we have 3 pretty good pash-rushers who should expose them if that's the case.  It's funny, but if you break it down position group-by-position group, Florida isn't really weak anywhere.  The QB play could be better.  We could be deeper at CB.  But there are no glaring weaknesses.

My general advice is to bet the dog in bowl games and take the points.

Florida will be one of the best teams Michigan has played (and vice versa).  Just a few breaks could tilt it to the Gators, maybe more than a few.  Michigan SHOULD win if turnovers etc. are about even.

If the number of UM players rumored to be sitting out truly are, I'll probably flip my pick.

Just from a "mood" or "Vibe" standpoint, I feel like these are some hungry Gators and Michigan is not stoked (or fully-manned) to be there.


Oh wait, that would never happen.  That's an invention of mine.  We all know all teams go 100% every game.

I would expect the players who go to play hard, and the ones who have mentally moved on to not play.  That seems to be how it's trending.

I'd agree that Florida had a better end of season than Michigan.  I don't know how well players "get over" stuff like the OSU (or SEC CG) games.  Some outcomes are crushing, worse than just losing badly to somebody.

I could feel the SEC CG slipping sliding away.

My sense is the Dawgs want to play well in the SB though, the Fields thing might be a distraction.

I think a good bit of this "motivation" factor is before the game is played, game prep, watching film, practicing hard or easing off, etc.

Teams might be jazzed when the whistle blows, fine, but if they got a bit fat and didn't pay attention, they are likely to get smacked.  The opponent is probably better than all but 1 or 2 teams they played all year.
