Notre Dame Vs. Michigan

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 09-10-2004, 03:26 PM

I've been anticipating this game for a long time now(ever since last years disaster at Ann Arbor). I can't wait till kick off on NBC tomorrow. Here's hoping for a great game! GO IRISH!

WSUCougar · 09-10-2004, 03:32 PM

Michigan 27, Notre Dame 10

Johnny93g · 09-10-2004, 04:00 PM

Definatly looking forward to it....Love watching Notre Dame play...Win or lose, I enjoy them more then any other college football team

Leonidas · 09-10-2004, 04:06 PM

CS, you must be a die hard Irish fan to be looking forward to this game. Maybe the rivalry thing will kick in and make a decent show, but I think Miami (OH) is as good, if not better than ND and were stomped 43-10 by UM. I respect your love of team and wish them well, but I think this game will get ugly early.

JeeberD · 09-10-2004, 04:09 PM

Blow Out

Time 2 go.

kingfc22 · 09-10-2004, 07:27 PM

UM is going to whoop on the Irish.

24 point win margin.

Kodos · 09-10-2004, 07:37 PM

Notre Dame is one of a handful of teams that can make me root for Michigan. Ohio State is also high on the list.

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 09-10-2004, 07:51 PM

If recent history (10 years) have taught us anything its that ND can pull it out vs Michigan. I think in the 1997 season Michigan came into South Bend favored by 28 pts and the Irish wupped em 35-21. and The 25-23 win vs. Michigan 2 years ago also.

Agreed on both counts.

RendeR · 09-10-2004, 09:09 PM

If this game is less than a 30+ point win for Michagin I'll be stunned.

SunDancer · 09-10-2004, 11:52 PM

Can't wait to hear the NBC broadcast too. How long is NBC tied through ND?

Johnny93g · 09-10-2004, 11:53 PM

You know what I love about sports....Anything can happen....and alot of the time, it does....GO NOTRE DAME

Neuqua · 09-10-2004, 11:55 PM

The line has Michigan -12.5

If anyone wants to say hi, I'll be tailgating with the CBE grad students in the soccer fields south of Edison Road (Blue Field South, I think it's called). We'll be flying a black flag that says "Muck Fichigan".

(Edit: You better ask for Craig, too, if you ask for Mr. Wednesday nobody except me is going to know who you're talking about.

)

Passacaglia · 09-11-2004, 02:53 AM

I'll be watching the game on TV, putting up with the stupid NBC broadcast. Go Blue!

In 1997, Michigan was favored by 14 at home and won, 21-14.
In 1998, Michigan was favored on the road by 5 and lost, 36-20.
In 1999, Michigan was favored by 7 1/2 at home and won, 26-22.
In 2002, Michigan was favored by 5 on the road and lost, 25-23.
In 2003, Michigan was favored by 10 at home and won, 38-0.

Last year was the first time Michigan covered the spread against Notre Dame in a long time. They are also 0-6 against the spread (including five losses) in the last six road openers, and 1-7 against the spread in games where they shut out the opponent the previous season.

If I'm betting, Michigan doesn't look like a great bet to cover. But having seen both teams play last week, I don't think they're very close in talent.

Notre Dame is always dangerous. I'm expecting a close, low-scoring game. But I think Michigan wins.

kingfc22 · 09-11-2004, 01:54 PM

Go Blue.

I can't find an answer so I'll just ask it hoping someone who lives in MI could answer.

Who is starting at QB? Is it Henne or Guitierrez? I'm excited to see Guiterrez because he is a Bay Area kid who helped De La Salle HS to their impressive win streak.

KWhit · 09-11-2004, 01:58 PM

Michigan wins big.

Man I hate Notre Dame.

I'm pretty sure it's Henne. Guiterrez' arm is still injured.

Passacaglia · 09-11-2004, 02:05 PM

Yes, Henne is starting. It's going to be tough for a true freshman going in there. I'm a bit worried, but hopefully we can still take care of business.

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 09-11-2004, 02:28 PM

Kick off to Notre Dame's victory is only minutes away.

kingfc22 · 09-11-2004, 02:54 PM

Brady Quinn's first mistake of what will be many today against the Wolverines defense.

Dr. Sak · 09-11-2004, 03:07 PM

I cant believe I am saying this but...GO IRISH!!

Passacaglia · 09-11-2004, 03:45 PM

Nice goal line stand!!

Passacaglia · 09-11-2004, 03:45 PM

Hmm, but now we have to punt from our end zone. That can't be good...

Solecismic · 09-11-2004, 03:47 PM

Notre Dame is playing with great emotion, and dominating the game. Carr has lost confidence in Henne. Amazing that Michigan still leads this one. Those two picks are huge.

Passacaglia · 09-11-2004, 03:55 PM

This drive is really turning the momentum in our favor, though. Not a great ball by Henne on that long pass, but good enough for a guy like Edwards to catch it, I guess. And it's helping the run game in ND territory. We needed that TD, though.

Solecismic · 09-11-2004, 03:59 PM

I'm ticked that Carr chose to run into the line on 3rd and long. If he doesn't trust Henne, get Clayton Richard in there.

(note, it's a Michigan tradition to abuse the quarterback, no matter what he does)

Passacaglia · 09-11-2004, 04:23 PM

Well, of course. Who else would take a future two-time Super Bowl MVP, and make him split time his senior year?

BishopMVP · 09-11-2004, 04:38 PM

We got ourselves a football game. If it weren't for that bullshit call early, ND would probably be winning (by 1 point.)

kingfc22 · 09-11-2004, 05:04 PM

I keep getting this real bad feeling in my stomach as I watch this game.

Solecismic · 09-11-2004, 05:05 PM

Regardless of whether they pull it out, this is going to be a long season for Michigan. Just a terrible performance on offense.

Schmidty · 09-11-2004, 05:13 PM

Go Irish!

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 09-11-2004, 05:15 PM

Can you say: ''Over rated!!!!!!'' Shake down the Thunder from the sky!!!!

BishopMVP · 09-11-2004, 05:17 PM

Had the time and should have taken it in, but that's still nice field position!

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 09-11-2004, 05:17 PM

Punt Blocked!!!!!

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 09-11-2004, 05:18 PM

Return to Glory Baby!!!!

Dr. Sak · 09-11-2004, 05:18 PM

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BishopMVP · 09-11-2004, 05:19 PM

I like Darius Walker, but I'm not sure about this "start pointing at the end zone 2/3 yards before" trend.

Solecismic · 09-11-2004, 05:21 PM

Time to see if this team has any heart. Sure haven't shown it today.

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 09-11-2004, 05:22 PM

Michigan looks like they're gonna collapse.

Schmidty · 09-11-2004, 05:23 PM

I love watching the Wolverines get humbled, and seeing the look of despair on Gomer Carr's ugly face.

I agree Schmidty. There are 3 teams I despise, Pitt, ND, and Michigan. I find it really hard to root for ND but I just cant stand Lloyd Carr.
