I can’t take anymore of this sad-sack shite. It’s Monday and the flue of this weekend has passed.

Michigan is a quality, tough opponent and a good thrashing of these maize and blue tards will go a long way in building our Team back into rabid nasty junkyard Dawgs!

I know they have two defensive ends that are awesome how do we counter that and do to them what they want to do to us?

Honestly surprised to see when they announced the Heisman finalists that the defensive player that made the final 4 was the kid from Michigan and not Anderson from Bama or JD.

We shut down Anderson pretty well I think. He got a sack late in the game but other than that was pretty quiet.

Anyways, Michigan scare me in the fact they are coming in hot as shite with a lot of confidence. Our defense will match up a million times better with them than Bama, but their defense is no slouch either.

Pickens will be back so hopefully it will be the George and Brock show. Hoping Milton can get back into form too, his fresh legs could be an asset in the playoffs.

Hopefully we don’t have to commit our TE’s to pass protection. That would be a W for UM.

They have two excellent pass rushing edges. Hutchison is projected top 5 I have seen one put him at 1st pick. Think JJ Watt like.

They have outstanding running backs and a decent QB. They mix in another QB here and there pretty much runs read options wildcat style then they swap back. They had both QBs in on a play vs Michigan state to try some trickery....ended up losing a fumble and was a big part of them losing the game.

I think a good match up for us but not for Michigan. They want to bully the other team and run the ball. Just want to avoid obvious passing downs as always. Their edge guys will be all over Stet.

Their defensive line will be the biggest problem, but the key for our team is always the defense. If it’s working, the offense will do enough to get the win.

The biggest thing is we have to stop their running game. This will be the first team we’ve seen this year to really try to just man up and run right at us. Hopefully our size and depth shines through.

Regardless of who’s playing quarterback, hold them under 28 and we should have no problem winning.

How in the frick do I get a down vote for this most uplifting thread?

The fricking sky is not falling down.

The Mighty Dawg Nation still has its destiny in its grasp, paws!

Frick it all get your heads in the next game!

Michigan is as real as it gets we and have to get after it as Dogs eat nails and glass while maize and blue eats fluffy cotton candy like little girls at a birthday party...

The rest of you need to join your fellow DAWG fans in here as we have business at hand the rest of the SEC is sitting at home.

Go DAWGS!!

Does anyone really think the sky is falling? We should match up well with Michigan.

And assuming Cincinnati doesn't pull off a miracle, a rematch with Alabama is in our favor. Alabama played unreal in the SECCG - especially after giving up 36 sacks coming in. We can only play better on both sides of the ball in a rematch. Staff will make some changes in strategy as well.

It could be a good thing that we're now being referred to as overrated...

I’m pretty pumped for this game. Playing in one of the Big 4 bowls, where we haven’t play since Fran Tarkenton was our QB, against a team we have played since Vince Dooleys second year. Great Uniform game too, too bad both can’t wear their home jerseys.

They throw less than we do and have good line play on both sides of the ball. Should match up well for us, but after last game, I wonder how we react?

A man on the radio Tom Luginbill, just called this one the single most evenly matched game of the entire playoff era in his opinion. Vegas line be damned, I guess. Says both teams are nearly identical in system and philosophy, but with Georgia running it with the more talented roster.

Its gonna depend on which teams show up. If last Saturday nights Dawgs show up we could be in trouble. If regular season Dawgs and end of season Michigan both show up though, we probably have the advantage, but it’s going to be a brawl.

Saturday nights whipping was a blessing in disguise. All medicine tastes like shite. Sucks, but we needed it

From what little I know abotu michigan they aren't really scary at all. They seem like a replica of us but not as talented or as good at it. They want to control the LOS, the want to run the ball, they have a QB who likes to sit in the pocket.

After about mid-october is was 100% plain to me, and I assume a lot of people, that alabma and maaaaaaaaaaybe OSU were the only 2 teams in america even remotely on our level. Nothing over the last 2 months has changed my opinion on that. If this was December 1st and we were abotu to paly against michigan we'd be predicting 41-10 final scores. Michigan plays exactly into what we do well.

I truly believe in our Dawgs and so what? We got a dose of humble pie. This is a 12-1 team that has done amazing things this season! Our team just needs to focus in on this Michigan team and handle business.

Last Saturday wasn't our day, we all should get that and remember this team is bad arse!

Stop the moping and get behind the program!

Great things are achievable and expected this year!

Go DAWGS beat Michigan!

Im not giving up on my Dawgs just yet. 12-1 season for starters and they broke teams.

Dawgs need to dig deep and take this gritty Meeshegan team to task.

Our O line must dominate. Our backs become steeds of no mercy. Our Defense suffocating.

All they need to do is play JunkYard ball.

If they want it they win it!

It’s pretty simple if they can stick to the fundamentals.

And did the subsequent 11 games reinforce your belief that Clemson was the rule, not the exception?

I like our chances against Michigan. We're built to shut their brand of football down.

Yes, they have a DE who's unworldy. That's absolutely something to scheme for, but it's the exact opposite of our Defense. They have 1-2 guys with lots of name recognition backed by a cast of relative unknowns, while we have a defense full of guys that share the credit (and the blame when dramatically appropriate) that most folks in CFB couldn't name outside of Dean and Davis.
