Whelp... it's that time of year again. What's your prediction for this year. To me this year is tough. there's not been much talk of the team so it's almost a crap shoot.


Sep 4 - Vs Conn - Home - Win
Sep 11 - Vs Notre Dame - Away - Lose
Sep 18 - Vs Mass - Home - Win
Sep 25 - Vs Bowling Green - Home - Win
Oct 2 - Vs Indiana - Away - Win
Oct 9 - Vs MSU - Home - Win
Oct 16 - Vs Iowa *HOMECOMING* - Home - Lose

Nov 6 - Vs Illinois - Home - Lose
Nov 13 - Vs Purdue - Away - Win
Nov 20 - Vs Wisconsin - Home - Win
Nov 27 - Vs OSU - Away - Lose

7 - 5

If they do a 7/5 season, Rrod will be safe. They do less than .500 and he'll be out the door. They play against 3 pre-season ranked teams (have them beating Wis out of the 3).

national champion kicker - Alabama over Texas.

4-8

Here's a pretty good write up on the team and the entire RRod drama

0 -12 Dick Wad get's fired, all the angles in Heaven rejoice, Tom Brady has a career ending injury this year, and comes back to coach Michigan football next year. They then run the ball on all 3 downs, play smash mouth defense, and go 12-0, and never lose another game..... ever. Then I wake up.....

 

[jsxtreme]

But seriously I say they go 4-8. Why? Because we still don't have a decent QB.

 

[Stalker]

taking bets on how long before OSU gets sanctions.

I'll put in another 4-8 vote.

i think Tate did good last year and got his head too big. Hopefully him getting his ass kicked for the second half of the season has taught him to settle down. I think He'll do well. he's no Brady, but he should be good enough to get us 7 wins. it's not like we have a horribly difficult season. Wis, OSU, and PSU is really about it. MSU is a toss up via the rivalry game and Conn is tougher than they look.

 

[4 cam tbird]

Conn is tougher than they look? Maybe I'll go 3-9 then.

 

[moneypit]

national champion kicker - Alabama over Oklahoma or OSU .

fixed it for ya
RROD better pray you are correct, or Michigan is gonna can him and really f-up and hire miles from LSU cause hes gone if he doesnt win the west this year

Another vote for 4-8. I think it's 50/50 that RichRod gets the axe at the end of the year. If he does get canned, I could see the heavy push for Harbaugh at the end of the year, even with Stanford extending his contract last winter. I'd be a lot more worried as a State fan with Harbaugh as coach than Les Miles. UM could also decide he should get 4 years before sending him packing. Look how long it took to fire Tommy Amaker on the basketball side. New AD so it's hard to tell. If Martin was still there, I'd say RichRod is safe for another year.

 

[hangemhigh]

i'm guessing 8-4. c'mon.......this shit can't last forever.......it's michigan, for crying out loud....

and.....i like the buckeyes bcs chances too......!!!!

 

[JeffB]

I think it will be more of a 7-5, 8-4 year.

 

[Stalker]

Michigan has a ton of talent, its just whether it's gonna show up and be healthy. If they stay healthy and get their TO's in line with the rest of the league, I wouldn't be suprised if they aren't ranked in the top 25 at some point during the season.

 

[DetroitStyle]

Rumor has it that Denard is in the lead for starting QB. Along with it, is that Tate is saying if he's not the starter, he's going to transfer...

Tate -->

I love Jim Harbaugh. Michigan better not hire him :lol:

I think they will be 8-4. PSU lost a lot of people and Kevin Newsome is not a good option for QB. I think they will also beat ND because they are going to a new offense and may have a little time learning the new scheme. I would also say that the MSU game for me would be a toss up. If secondary and linebackers even play decent...it shouldn't be a game.

Turnovers were SOOO brutal last year. Ugh, painful to even think about. They were SO close to having a *decent* record last year.
The MSU overtime loss, the 2 point loss to Iowa, last minute loss to Purdue... ugh. 8-4 isn't great, but it's a lot better than 5-7!

Some people have them predicted to go 9-3 with a win over Iowa. I guess we will see a month from now. The make or break game is Conn.

 

[Stalker]

As much as I'd love to see Iowa lose at home for homecoming, I just don't see it. They are just too strong and developed. Not saying it won't happen, but I place better odds of us taking out Wisc or even OSU.
