If you are this week's winner, the NC run is on!

I'll need two Harbaugh games to adjust my algorithms

 

[TheVictors]

Out of Conference Pac-10/12 road games make me think of games from a bygone era at Washington and UCLA ... USC and Cal. And Bo didn't win these games back then, on the road ...in the Pac-10.

But this is Harbaugh! And not Bo. And it's no longer a completely foreign idea to get on a plane and fly to time zones West and play football ...though a Thursday night opener is weird.

Week one games typically offer funny bounces and turnovers and odd little twists of fate. Conventional wisdom and those at ESPNsucks all figure Michigan to lose because ...that's just what should happen so that the enthusiasm for Harbaugh is tempered a bit - start 0-1.


I think the MICHIGAN DEFENSE steps up. I think that the Holy Ghost of Bo shines on the team just this once and His anointed Son and heir to the Empire. I think a whole lot of people in Oakland watch and say, damn .... I thought for sure he was going to be the next Raiders coach!

MICHIGAN - 23
UTAH - 20

Torn between excitement (HARBAUGH!) and the sense of impending doom I've grown accustomed to over the past decade. I'm still not very confident in the QB, from all reports M has no kicker and I feel like there's too many questions on offense to expect any consistency. Optimistically I want to predict a win, I'm just so damned jaded after the past two regimes to go there.

M 17
Utes 24

I hope I'm wrong and Michigan wins by 20. GO BLUE!

Defense forces 3 turnovers and offense does just enough....can't really remember a more important opener on a bigger stage.

maybe in the late 80's/early 90's. those games were usually our openers, but not ND's; they scheduled a weak opener to prepare for us.

I'll go 27 M - 17 Utah

Definitely I think 1989 we were 1 and 2 in Ap
1990 we were 5 and nod 1

Etc

Could probably pull it together and I am sure it is somewhere

Can also cross check with ap poll history for each year

Maybe damfran is really young but there have definitely been more important openers on bigger stages for uofm than playing at utah w/ neither team ranked on a thursday night.

Either way - Good luck tonight. Go Blue!
