I get it . . . Dodd hates Michigan

I know that Dodd hates the Big Ten and especially Michigan, but you have to hand it to him this time - it takes quite an effort to work in about 5 digs at Michigan in his 25 item list.  Methinks Dodd dost protest too much.  I realize that it is chic among sports hacks like Dodd to pile on Michigan these days, but this is ridiculous.  What's the matter Dennis?  Did your girlfriend run away with a Michigan fan?  Oh, right . . . you are a sportswriter, you likely don't have a girlfriend.

tUoOS are dominators of Michigan?  Wow Dodd, that is incredibly perceptive.  Yes, they have been on a roll lately against us, but the record is deceptive.  Two years ago we were one cheesy late hit call away from playing for the NC instead of the buckeyes.  Most of the games have been close, generally turning on a single piece of improvisation by Troy Smith.  Boeckman is no Troy Smith, and TP will be taking over a relatively young team, so it that period of dominance might be coming to an end (although the deck seems stacked against us this year).

GaTech is implemeting a new system under a proven new coach, so they will be great in two years, but Michigan implements a new system under a proven new coach and it will be a long, slow process?

? vs. ? for the Michigan QB position?  I know that you are a terrible writer, but even you should at least be able to mention Threet.  Michigan's QBs are unproven?  So are the QBs of a lot of other teams.

RR needs to work on the roster?  I guess that is what he was doing with a top 10 recruiting class this year.  And by getting commitments from two of the top dual threat QBs in the nation for next year.  And by adding more speed than Michigan has probably ever seen before.  Gee, why didn't he think of working on the roster?  Once again, Dodd is terribly insightful.

Could this year be a struggle?  Sure.  It could be anything, including a pleasant surprise.  The team will be far better conditioned than in recent years, and will be running a system against which much of the Big Ten has struggled.  The defense returns a lot of talent, and adds some new young talent.  It might be easy to write us off, but you would have to be an idiot to overlook Michigan in any year, even a transition one.  Then again, Dodd is an idiot, so it all fits. . .

For such a "great" ,eague, you B11 guys sure are insecure.

The guy points out some FACTS about several teams, and you guys take it as an attack.

It's always been known that Dodd hates Michigan (along with the Big 10) and is one of the biggest SEC fans out there.  He'll always take a shot at Michigan whenever he gets a chance to or I should say go out of his way to.

You can't blame him though, Michigan does pretty much own the SEC. 

Quit crying, you got owned in the biggest game ever of the rivalry.

That is because the rest of college football fans, as well as journalists, and other teams see Fraudriguez for what he really is, a total scumbag. You all run your mouth about him getting a promotion, check it out a little more, Brown had already talked to Arkansas, Mississippi, and SMU before talking to scUM. After the loss to Pitt Fraudriguez wanted to leave, and he did not care where he went.

One guy does not make a team, unlike at scUM, the other teams you mentioned have the bulk of a great team coming back, at scUM the cupboard is pretty bare. You truly have been brainwashed by the constant barage of pro B11 propoganda on the B11 network if you even speak of scUM and UGa 2008 in the same breath, one will be fighting tooth and nail to beat Northwestern, the other will be fighting for the so called national title.

I personally don't know why Dodd hates on Michigan, but I commend him for it.  As a group of fans, Michigans are probably the worst fans in the nation.  They are arrogant, stuck up, and have an excuse for every loss.  I hope U-M goes 3-9 this year and their football program goes down the drain.  I have been in that stadium and I have never been in a more boring place to watch a football game, I never knew that 100,000 people could be so quiet.  I can't wait to hear the excuses this year.  Does U-M have any 1-AA schools on the schedule this year???

dodd not smart look at the Schedule 9 wins minimum prolly 10.

as much as it hurts to say put beanie wells in the heisman hunt sam bradford please

oh and he does hate the big ten but i dont know why every one has such a love affair with the SEC i cant even watch them on tv even in HD i meen they are just to fast all i see are blurs
