Michigan will be a top 5 preseason team. Whether they stay there, only time will tell.




And that sucks.

Doesn't surprise me. The top 1/3 of the 3rd deck was empty along both sidelines. I don't know if it was 80-20 Michigan fans like Webbie was saying, but it was HEAVILY Michigan fans.

Thanks. It'd be interesting to see the breakdown. I know people were saying VT didn't sell many.

If the exact same game occurs down to the T on Monday, which one is that game then?
I'm still waiting on an answer to this. Maybe CGW can help me out.

Wow is all I can say. Worst officiating I think I've ever seen. Not calling a false start on the kicker....TWICE? Overturning that touchdown! Unreal! But the final result shows the Big Ten won! Pretty sad we needed a garbage win over an ACC school.

I was trying to find something with the attendance numbers. Did a quick search and gave up. I'd like to see the numbers from the last 12 games.

And yeah it was definitely Michigan heavy in there.

Probably not long since they start with Alabama. They may start high, fall, and have to win their way back. Not an easy schedule next year.

No way, they lose a lot of talent at key positions. Maybe top 10 to hype the Bama game but I'd say more like right around where they are now. They will probably have the #1 toughest schedule in the country next year though so they won't stay there.

You could still go on mgoblue.com as late as Sunday or yesterday and buy tickets directly from the school. $125/ticket.

DL is a concern, but they also have a lot coming back.

The Super Dome hosting the title game next week had a lot to do with corporate tickets being down. I'd imagine that and the Saints game this weekend hurt local attendance also.

And the fact its on a random Tuesday is so dumb. People usually go back to work after taking time off for the holidays ya know?

Live and die by the guy. I honestly think you may be right. Especially when Shane Morris takes over.

Not only are the hosting the title game, but in-state LSU is playing for it as well as Alabama, which is only like 4 hours away. The locals that'd normally take in the Sugar Bowl are pulling are the coin and teeth to make it in there next week.

I don't disagree with you, but it was played on Jan 4 last year. A Tuesday and the attendance was 73,879.

Why did Beamer go for it on 4th and short while up 6-0 and in easy field goal range in the first half?
You've been dominating and you can extend the lead with a chip shot field goal.
If you go for it on 4th when already in easy field goal range and don't make it that's a big momentum shift every time.

When Michigan stopped them I looked at my wife and told her they were going to win this game.

That receiver was pulling the ball to his body before his elbow hit the ground. Can't do that if you don't have control.
Couldn't believe the refs overturned that one.
My wife fell asleep long before that play though:)
