Not going to read the entire Detroit John thread

but I will give me opinion of UM. I have not seen much of the Cats but I make sure to watch the big sister because I enjoy watching them lose.

So, what does UM have to scare you?
Offense:
-Below average qb who was not good enough to start at Iowa. Cant pass long, doesnt have deep receivers anyway.
-Straight ahead running backs with no wiggle and no great speed.
-Excellent tight end in Butt, aptly named.
-OL looks decent vs last year with no depth. If they had MSU injuries this year to the OL they would be winless.

Defense:
-No impact rushers on the DL but they play a good system and get pressure based on smart coaching.
-LInebackers, slow, very average
-Secondary very good.

Over all, have not played any strong defenses or offenses so have managed to dominate mostly weak competition. Utah is good, but Utah had control of that game all the way. BYU was burned out.

Cats should win , say 21 -10 as UM doesnt scare a good team

Seems to be a reasonable assessment.

Seems more a biased assessment than anything else, but whatever. At any rate, talk won't win this game; won't even come close. Setting sail for Ann Arbor within the hour -- this would be a sweet one to bring home. Let's git'er done!

Really? Bias? On a message board? Nah!

NU could very well win this game-lots of respect for Fitz and NW D. Cousin of Farty is a raving lunatic-go look at some of his post on his own board. I didn't know they had internet access in the psych ward.

Didn't read it? I had a great post were I demolish any chance of Michigan winning. My use of hyperbole was fantastic and worth your time to read it

What was so biased about it?

QB not good enough to start at Iowa? Check.
RBs OK but not great? Check.
Excellent TE? Check
OL looks decent but no depth? Check. (Remember this is the same OL from last year...)

I'm not so sure about the D part (though they did lose an excellent LB last week, which has to negatively impact that position), but to say that this post is more biased than some of the Michigan fan posts on here is ignoring reality, imo.
