    whats everyones REAL thoughts on future matchups?

    i honestly think this yr is gonna be close but bucks win in a2

    next yr bucks win easily (braxton sr, in the shoe)

    after that home team win most of the games

    We are going to have a much deeper team with quality players everywhere this hear. Gardners second year at qb...I just cannot see how it will be a game. I didn't think you were very good last year and I don't see how you will be much better. you did gain momentum and got better last year, but I still never saw an amazing team by any standards. I'm not tryi g to be a dick either

    not needed, just pointing out we all have our "homers". And yes, even writers on other teams boards are going to reflect in a positive way for that team, I read your writers as well as this boards and they also favor the home team. would be pretty dumb not to since you have folks paying to read about their team. How long would you pay if the writers bashed your own team?

    Those of us that have been around awhile, don't get too wrapped up in what is written by a hometown writer. Sure, it favors the home team, but taken with a grain of salt by many more than not. Hell, we have some young guys that were calling for Matta's job a few weeks back, but then again, they weren't around much before Matta and don't appreciate how much better he is than what our BBall team has been over the previous 20+ years. I find the younger guys get the most worked up on the boards, but in our case, they've had it pretty good for their run of being a fan with Tressel and now Matta, they don't remember the Cooper years or the very average BBall teams we put on the court for the most part.

    I, too, read writers on many different boards every day. Some are homers, some are not. You don't have to "bash" your team to avoid being a homer.

    EDIT: I shouldn't say "your team" because a number of writers aren't necessarily fans of the program they write for, which significantly helps reduce homerism.

    Then it should be a very good game....OSU returns 10 players on offense, that led the league in scoring, plus added some speed.

    Should be a good one!!

    roflmao I just read what you were referring to with your quote. The Bucknut staff is far and away the least professional staff I have ever seen. Every other board here hates them lol

    Actually I was being a dick. Of course its going to be a good game. Its always a good game. I thought we could have stole one last year but jt didn't work out.
    I think we will have better athletes this year with larger bodies on the field. If ojr team chemistry comes together we can have a slecial year.

    I honestly think this year is going to be close but the Wolverines win in A2.

    Next year, UM wins easily (Gardner sr, in the shoe)

    After that it too far to predict anything meaningful.

    ??????

    outside of lewan and jake ryan, who would even start on osu?

    braxton>gardner hyde,smith,dunn>fitz, green osu wr's>um wr's

    osu db's>um's db's (altho countess is good) osu dline>um dline

    i'll concede the lb's to um

    Literally no one cares. Remember you are on our board, not Bucknuts.

    so we cant give our reasons on why we think our team will win?

    In the Michigan offseason thread on the Michigan board? Why would we want to see how much better an OSU fan thinks OSU is?

    I would take Gardner over Braxton in a heartbeat. I would take Gallon over every single one of your WRs. With how your D played last year I would take the entire Michigan D over OSU especially considering Mattison is so much better than your D coordinator.

    A2 i usually agree with what you have to say/respect what u say because usually you are reasonable but to say Smith and Dunn are better than both Fitz and Green?!?! Come on, man! How is Braxton better than Gardner? Because he is faster? Gardner is more accurate than Braxton. And you failed to mention our OL is head and shoulders better than yours.

    I am willing to bet Countess would start for you guys. If you used TEs Funchess would. Also I bet James Ross would. Numerous OL would start as well.

  • This was a really good thread that's been turned into Bucknuts 2. Maybe the biggest waste of time in life is defending Michigan against Ohio fans. Make them go back to their own cess pool.

    then why will every publication, every coach, every sportscaster and every writer have the bucks wayyyyy ahead of um in the polls, predictions etc????

    braxton over gardner?????

    cmon man, braxton is one of the early faves to win the heismann (both denard and gardner didnt even cross the 50 yd line in the 2nd half last game, combined!!!!!)

    sorry willy, um has to beat someone better then nw and msu for us to believe

    Stop this or you're not coming back. It's simple. I respect you as a poster, but this is OUR board and OUR offseason thread. No one wants to see this. I'm gonna start deleting your posts if they continue like this.

    You talk about NW like they're bad. They were literally two plays away from being 11-1 this year. Nebraska pulled the W out in the final seconds of the game, and I think you know how lucky we were to beat NW.

    Gardner did amazing in the time he started.

    per TAMUWolverine on tBB:

    Miller
    169 yards per game
    58% completion
    1.25 Passing TD's per game
    .5 INT's per game

    Gardner
    244 yards per game
    60% completion
    2.2 Passing TD's per game
    1 INT per game

    ___________________________

    Miller first 5 games
    53 % completion %
    77 yards a game
    .8 TD's a game
    .4 INT's a game

    Gardner first 5 games
    244 yards per game
    60% completion
    2.2 Passing TD's per game
    1 INT per game

    ________________________

    Miller
    105 yards a game rushing
    1.08 TD's per game

    Gardner

    I don't give a crap what every publication says. I don't give a crap what you sorry Ohio fans say. All you sorry ass Ohio fans do is troll Michigan on tBB. You Ohio fans need to grow up and spend more time worrying about your own team than Michigan.

    It's my opinion and I will take Gardner every day of the week from what i saw last year. I watched almost every game Braxton played and he is good but Gardner showed a ton of potential with only practicing part time at QB. With him focusing solely on QB I will take Gardner all day long.

    Who did Ohio beat last year? That was one of the weakest schedules i have ever seen. If you are so confident in Ohio walking out of Ann Arbor with a win this year then how about you agree to never ever post on this board again if Michigan wins. Hell get your brethren Ohio fans to agree to the same thing.

    umichyank,

    we need to see it on the field....those great teams with long, hart and henne were 0-4

    denard, lewan, molk...1 win (so far, lewan could make it 2)

    your best win last yr was to nw (hail mary) or msu (last second field goal) you guys lost to every good team you played...

    i find the um arrogance to be a bit unfounded...

    Holy crap you are going to come over here and call us arrogant. It's time you leave.
