BTCCG Michigan 43. Purdue 22

A sparty would have pulled the gun on the cop, been tasered, arrested, and cooling his heels in jail, only to be released to play before convicted of resisting arrest.

And Tom Izzo would be complaining about how unfair the justice system is

You all thinking that the loss of Corum is not a huge deal is nuts. There is a night and day difference between Corum and Edwards. Corum gets yards after contact. He is an elite RB and difference maker. Edwards goes down much easier and is not in the same class. Edwards is a good back, but not near the back that Corum is. If M can open holes like they did against OSU he can have huge success, but I don't think that will happen against a team like GA.

This may not matter in the CCG, but it reduces M's chances of upsetting GA (if they get that far) significantly.

IIRC Scott Skiles was a weed conviction, but didn't he make the trek from jail right back to the court in the 80s?

Speaking for the “Woke” side of the political spectrum, of which I might as well be a card carrying member. People are innocent before proven guilty. Sounds like Mazi made a bit of a mistake, but he was in the process of getting his concealed carry license. Stupid to be speeding with a gun in the car. But not really an issue. Woke people would agree, no issue here. Give him a ticket and a fine, he’s learned his lesson.

I can respect that. Then again, I think also equally valid that Michigan is explicit in saying it holds student athletes to a higher standard. So be the thing you say you are. There is some hypocrisy here. Could have issued a 1-game suspension for the Indiana game.

EFZ...you aren't the '95 Huskers when our Heisman candidate gets kicked off the team and you have Ahmann Green hehind him...

Agreed. Might feel ok about the 2/3 matchup, but very hard to envision beating Georgia without Corum. He's the one that bends a defense, not Edwards. But there's still a CCG to win, and that should be the focus. Don't overlook Purdue. Winning the Big Ten is extremely important.

Yep. I hope the kids aren't looking past the CCG the way this forum is...

Don't count me in on that number.

I believe Michigan is going to win, but they better show up like they did last week, or Purdue will be a problem.

Michigan could rest all the starters and still beat Purdue.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Seconded.

Thirded. Also agree with the above takes on Corum and how it lowers the ceiling re: winning the natty.

One minor upside is that by the time the semifinals roll around, Edwards' hand should be healed up to the point he can catch passes out of the backfield. That will be a nice addition to the playbook.

Come on now with this hypothetical. Purdue would clearly defeat a Michigan 2nd string team. You believe in Davis Warren at QB? 🤣
M rested like 5 starters vs Illinois and almost lost that game. Purdue defeated (@) Illinois a few weeks ago.

yawn

You seem to be forgetting one thing...

HARBAUGH!!!!!!!!

[AlabamAlum]

Michigan had an off game vs Illinois and the only way the Purdue game will be within 3 scores if they stb again. I don’t see it happening.

You know what I hope not to see? Another post by AlabamAlum...
