The OFFICIAL ROSE BOWL THREAD: The #1 MICHIGAN WOLVERINES vs. the #4 ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE - 1/1/24

[Rell]

Yea not worried about this game at all. Michigan is an easy matchup for us

Dis finna be a breeze

 

[ABlackMan]

What a shame. This supposed to be our game every year. Go Trojans! Fight on!

 

[Tony D'Amato]

I still dont know how FSU haven't complained about Michigan getting in. They basically beat a team by 1 score that beat Notre Dame and Penn State. Hell, FSU beat Louisville who beat Notre Dame more convincingly than OSU did. You can make an argument that FSU>>>>>>>>>Michigan. I think thats why they didn't want FSU in. They feared that they'd beat Michigan just like TCU did and we'd be fukked for a natty game.

[Trust Me]

At some point.. a man is actually gonna go out and get some p*ssy. Right?



Right?

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

You're batting like .180

I'd be worried if you actually gave us props.

Keep thinkin this game is gonna be sweet tho.

We just went through an SEC schedule and beat UGA, I'm supposed to be worried about a big 10 team who hasn't played anyone all year?(Sorry OSU fans but McCord is shyt)

Any time we play a team that wants to run the ball a lot and doesn't have a QB that can beat us with his legs then it's a favorable matchup for us. That's just facts. And your defense hasn't played a decent offense all season so it's hard to be impressed. The last time y'all played a decent offense(TCU) they put up 50 on you.

Just because McCarthy can run a little doesn't mean he's gonna beat us with his legs. There's a difference.

 

[King Poetic]

It’s going to take JJ to win the game and I dont see it

Alabama- 27
Michigan- 17

You realize that you sayin 'We just went through an SEC schedule' aint sayin much this year, right? Who'd ya'll face that was so dominant?

- You played Texas.. at home, and got worked by double digits.
- Ole Miss?
- Tennessee?
- LSU?
- Auburn?

I'll give you TONS of credit for knocking off UGA.. but that's literally all ya'll have accomplished this year.

The SEC in 2023 is NOT the SEC of years past. I think deep down inside, you know that.

I also think you're delusional, because the last time our teams played, ya'll handled us. But this aint that team. It's nowhere close to that team.

he can definitely extend plays and throw off script and reel off big run plays when dialed up
pretty much has been his MO on making great defenses pay all year

It’s going to take JJ to win the game and I dont see it

Alabama- 27
Michigan- 17

Goes for Milroe too
Both defenses not giving up much
Michigans secondary is being overlooked here...

Difference is milroe can get outside of the pocket and run..

guess we will see if JJ is this game manager yall think he is.

 

[HabitualChiller]

Michigan has faced #2, #3, #4 & #8 ranked defenses according to SP+
Maryland at #20 and Rutger at #22

Now do the same exercise with Bama.

It's much easier to have a highly-rated defense in the big ten where teams like Iowa somehow are good enough to play in the conference championship game.
