#22 Michigan def. Illinois, 31-14

• merv

  

  Michigan heads to Champaign to take on Illinois. Game starts at 3:30. Michigan is coming off a loss to Iowa. Illinois is coming off a bye week, after 3 straight losses. Who you got winning?
  
  Go Blue!!!!!!!

  ^^^lol....anyway, I think Zook will pull a rabbit out of his hat, again, and win this one to retain his job for another year...again

  Illinois robbed themselves of a win at State College a week ago. I'm thinking the bounce back and get that elusive 7th win.
  
  Illinois 27 Michigan 24

  Illinois runs the football pretty well and have a very mobile QB both weaknesses for Michigan's defense. For those reasons and being at home, I'll pick illinois in a close one 31-28.

  I like Illinois here in a close one. UM looking to make the annual year end crash yet again.

  scUM scheduled to lose 4 in a row to close out another disapointing season.

  Illinois started out 6-0. At the time I did not see how Zook could get fired. If the Illini crap the bed and finish 6-6 I think Zook's goose is cooked.

  This has more to do with UM than the game. A qeustion to TB webfire and other UM fans.
  
  UM got a commit from Drake Johnson RB. http://michigan.scout.com/a.z?s=162&p=8&c=1&nid=5161853
  
  Are they giving up on Dunn? Why offer this kid now, doesn't make sense.

  A lot of discussion about this as we speak. My first reaction was that Dunn was out of the picture. But the recruiter gurus say that is not the case. Hoke does like to take 2 RBs in each class, although Dunn would technically be the 3rd (one is a FB, so not sure that counts).
  
  My gut still tells me that Dunn is no longer in play for UM.

  I think Dunn is still in the picture, but I think Michigan feels he is leaning too far towards OSU. There are too many other very good players interested in Michigan to take Dunn and a talent like Johnson.

  Not sure why but I think Michigan will cruise in this one. Early in the week I had Illinois winning.

  I think Meat Chicken will win. I hope Illinois does.

  Michigan has left SO MANY points out there, they should be winning by 40 and keep making the dumbest fucking mistakes, lol.
  
  Also, they just had a false start on their KICKER for a FG. At least he made the retry.
• merv

  

  The FG was big.
• merv

  

  That was a catch.
• dave

  A win is a win, but that was ugly. The Big 10 is terrible this year.
  
  I expected an 8-5 year, looks like they can exceed that.
