I'd be shocked if Michigan won that game. PSU's not a playoff team but they're a lot better than Michigan.

O/U on obnoxious Harbaugh facial expressions?

another White Out at Penn St..

I don’t want to just *beat* Michigan. I want to destroy them. Like a patented Coach Franklin 40 or 50 burger, 3+ possession win.

But yeah, even if that doesn’t happen (and I think it will as these teams seem to exchange blowout wins every year) take PSU -9 to the bank.

Most fans condemn him. Read BWI or check out @NCNittany, @UNRIVALED_PSU_ or other PSU champions on Twitter.

It'll be a repeat of two years ago with the white out at night, at Penn State, when Michigan got destroyed 42-13. Harbaugh has never been able to have his team prepared or ready for a game that matters, let alone on the road, so expect more of the same from two years ago, sadly.

They're not a great team this year, but I hope UM can beat PSU- still have no idea why people glorify that school.

Who glorifies PSU besides PSU homers? They're nothing more than a pretender when it comes to NC consideration, everyone knows that, but they're still a pretty good team.

I don't think it's just Harbaugh, though he certainly contributes to the problem. Michigan doesn't have the elite athletes or depth it used to have either.

considering they are going to get sandblasted i would say 7.5

Never said anything about other fans.

It’s the sense of pride with the university that comes with being a resident of central PA and/or a Pennsylvania State University alumnus or alumna, living and being very successful in many major cities throughout the world.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever been to the White Out Game, but it is an incredibly hostile environment, more so than any other stadium in this country. Michigan players will **** their pants, blink and be down 14-0. And it’ll all avalanche from there to about a 48-13 or so final.

Yeah, we’re cocky about our team. We’re not thrilled about being 6-0, it’s the expectation.


All this said, I acknowledge it is always one of the Michigan schools and OSU that cost us that shot at being an elite playoff level team. But the Michigan schools suck this year, and they’ll get OSU when both schools are likely 10-0. And it’s always been a close game with them, so they better be careful. They’ve been susceptible to big let down games every year too. And they could probably stomach one, but it can’t be the PSU game or the B1G title game.

Ohio State's cupcake schedule continues.

They finally play a big boy team next week.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Alexa, play “Zombie Nation” set to “We Are Penn State”.

Michigan is going to get smacked tonight. Their offense will be clueless.

@GKJ - If you wanna become a bazillionaire, here is what The Bear says:

Bear’s Board:
Charlotte+9.5 vs WKU
Okla St-4 vs Baylor
Miss St+18.5 vs LSU

Corso's Headgear Selection.....from the happiest valley in the land, State College, PA, where one of my favorite posters, the esteemed @Rossi Rat honed his skillz! They ARE!

Factoid: Lee is 3-2 when donning the Lion & 7-4 when donning the Maize & Blue

Sign of the Day: "Enron had more credibility than Michigan's offense"

Runner Up Sign of the Day: "Bear deserves a seat at the table"

Celebrity Picker: Good Morning America host & Penn State alum Lara Spencer, who obviously is going with her elite, blue blood alma mater.

Lee: Reminds us he picked Peen State to beat Ohio State in last year's white out & was wrong. Leads the "WE ARE" chant......says the crowd is ready & so is Lee as he dons the Lion head.

Love when Chryst gets super conservative and let's a team that has no business being in the game stay in the game.
