Texas has a great offense, but I haven't watched their games.
Wash handled Oregon twice, so they are a solid team from top to bottom.

I don't know who I prefer. help me out here.

27 short months ago - the crystal ball of now would have felt like the hopelessly unrealistic dream of a 12 year old Michigan fan.

3 straight wins over OSU, 3 straight Big Ten titles and 3 straight playoff appearances. The undisputed number 1 team in college football on 12/4/2023. ESPNs FPI percentage wheel shows us as 56% likely to take down Nick Saban's SEC champ Alabama team. All that and we're coached by one of our own, the favorite son of the coaching legend who built the foundation he is standing on and expanding.

Michigan football life is good. Signgate stole from that (and I'll never forgive the opportunists for it), but now its only sweeter.

Enjoy December. Many college footballl fans go their entire lives without a stretch like this.

the only undefeated FBS school at the end of the bowl season (not that I'm forecasting a loss by Michigan.) But that's a possibility and a much bigger middle finger to the CFP committee.

Do we have a shot at landing Nolan in the portal? I know he was high on Michigan before A&M gave him $

and ranked 4th in the polls and lost their QB for the post season would they be left out of the playoffs? Not a chance in the world.

....with the same old narratives.

1. Our oline sucks
.....ummm they were without Zinter our best olineman
....Nugent has been playing with a bum leg for damn near 2 months
....LDH was out for a week against Maryland and is still beat up.

2. JJ can't throw the ball.
....JJ hasn't been right since psu. He is pretty banged up.
....JJ didnt need to throw it and number if attempts is not on him...its on Moore and Harbaugh.

This team plays a very physical brand of football. They play a team on their senior night that had nothing to lose and JJ was beat up...the played 3 top 10 very physical defenses in the last 4 games. The are just beat up!

I'm sure people will still doubt this 13-0 team up until the Rose bowl and that's there right.

I'm kinda waiting for Daddy Lemon to show back

The game plans have been well thought out. This program is now 38-3 over the last 3 years. They have grown. They have been there. This team is different. 2021 was about the B1G. 2022 was a fluke. 2023 they won't allow flukes to happen.

Relax chicken Littles. The sky is far from falling.

GO BLUE!!!

I can't imagine how excited the Ducks are for this one.

This defense is fraud and so is this team. Not enough playmakers on the d line poor job by brad at deadline

Michigan is gaining momentum.

Good guys vs Bama
OSU vs Mizzu
PSU vs Ole Miss
Wisky vs LSU
Iowa vs Tennessee
Maryland vs Auburn

Oh and Washington vs Texas

Let the battle for CFB supremacy officially start now.

Any good news on tap for December?

Are coached out seeing kids this week?

Got 2 tickets thank goodness

Out of ideas for the Michigan fan who has everything in their life? Why not give the gift of M&BR this holiday season!

You can choose your gift options here by using the following link:


For those who message me with proof of purchase, I will make a donation to the charity of your choice.

Does anybody know what the priority point cut off is and when the ticket office will let us know if they filled our order? It would be nice to know sooner rather than later if the dreaded ticket Scalping scramble is necessary.

What hotels are suggested for MICHIGAN fans with transportation to Rose Bowl

a home game in AA period. The only neutral site location should be the natty. The argument of saying it is too cold holds no water because the players are now paid. Furthermore, the revenue generated would exceed the revenues earned currently.

I hope this is alright to post here. I looked for a ticket exchange here first.

Westside. W/ seat pads. You will be sitting next to me and my other three diehards.
Hard copy tickets available for pick up on N Main Friday or from 10AM to 11AM GAME DAY.
NO BUCKEYES. You will be given a short test. HA
$800 Ea. Hundreds below similar seats on StubHub/SeatGeek etc. (Hope that keeps our Karma in check)
Would sell there but DO NOT WANT BUCKEYES.
Please DM here

PS Your butt must fit on a seat pad. HA
Unless your an ex M Lineman

You've got to beat the best. Say what you will about Bama and whether they deserve to be there but these last four teams in the mix are VERY good football teams. Yes, that includes Michigan.

FSU would've likely been the easiest road to the national championship but you still have to face another very good team at this time of year.

It shouldn't matter who Michigan plays right now. All that matters is winning. Michigan has proved it belongs by beating good teams along the way.

If you want to be crowned champs, you need to play your best. Play good football and go win the whole dang thing.

Anyone know how high the pricing tiers go? Got $400-level tickets. Wondering how good those seats will be. Thanks.

$3k on Delta right now. 😂😂😂

Voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame!

Leyland was the lone person elected to the Hall by the Contemporary Baseball Era Non-Players Committee on Sunday. The vote, which was held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center as part of MLB’s Winter Meetings and announced on MLB Network, was the result of a recently restructured ballot system in which manager, umpire and executive candidates are no longer lumped together with their player counterparts in the election cycle, thereby creating better opportunity for their induction.

I know some of you think we can play Purdue and Minnesota to win a NC but we can't. Time to nut up and get ready to beat two really good teams to win a NC.
