OGT: UM @ MSU 1/27/08 1pm

[Jethro34]

Somebody has to start this. Dave Dye of the Detroit news got in the first shot.

"Eller-Beilein?"

I knew things were tough around Crisler Arena, but not to the extent that people are starting to call coach John Beilein "Eller-Beilein," a mock reference to former U-M coach Brian Ellerbe.

Ouch.

Sunday's Michigan-Michigan State game, by the way, will start at 1 p.m. now at the Breslin Center, not noon as previously scheduled.

The early line has Michigan State as a 79 1/2-point favorite. I'd pick MSU, but that 1/2 point could be the difference.

If you're an MSU fan that's comical.
If you're me he's a prick.

Anywho - throw everything out in this game. UM showed Wisconsin they can run with good teams if they're hitting shots. Big, BIG if.

I predict MSU by 16.

If MSU's defense shows up... <---I really need to let that BukDow thing go.

Thanks for the OGT and its clear to me that the guy is a prick.

Look for State to out rebound the shit out of Michigan's zone defense. That is why i think Michigan has a 2% chance of winning.

I'll bet that Manny Harris outscores Drew Neitzel.

How's big Drew holding up as the Pre-Season Big Ten MVP??

Please. DJ White and/or Eric Gordon already have him beat.

We'll out score you at every other position, though, including bench positions 1-3.

One thing working for UM is that MSU has not been playing well these past few weeks. I mean, we lost to IOWA.

MSU by 32. Lead grows fast when Lucas is in. Durrell Summers and MarQueis Gray take advantage of easy rebounds and get the break going bigtime.

Sorry guys, I don't see this one ending well. Perhaps I'm bringing in too much of the OOC schedule, where MSU looked great, and UM looked horrid, but I don't see this being a game, and Izzo will get everyone pumped.

[Glenn]

MSU by 32.

[MoTown]

MSU by somewhere between 1 and 45.

Book it. I'll wager all my MoTowns if necessary.

Instead of predicting whether Michigan can upset Michigan State lets make this thread really fun.......

Percentage that after the Sparties wipe the floor with our 1-3-1 that Tre and/or Bukdow both make an appearance?

Tre -- 25%
Budkow -- 57%

The first post in this thread says the game is at 1.

WAY better chance for Tre to make a cameo.

bukdow ain't coming back, after what Jethro did to him.
