  • Lines needs a bowl of prunes.......I'm not touting M as a championship team. Neither do I think they'll tank and lose 6 games. They've got talent and energy. They can win 9 games tops, more likely they'll go 8-4 shade to 7-5.

    What separates my take from AA's at the hi end and Linesman's and Hannibal's at the lo end? First the middle is always good. Extremes are outliers. Second, in close games where the outcome is uncertain, Harbaugh turtles. He plays the game not to lose. That is an unmistakable aspect of his coaching. He's not bold. He's timid.

    I see winnable games where his "this is what we do and we're going to do it no matter" game strategy will work. He'll get out front and coast. He'll lose games that require boldness and creativity at crunch time and flat out have his ass kicked in maybe 2 games.

    For the season, 7-5 sounds like an appealingly sound prediction. 8-4 a stretch. 9-3 not at all likely more likely though than 6-6 or GTFO 5-7.

    Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

    • I hope you're right and I'm wrong, Jeff.

      Harbaugh is not a good road coach unless the opponent is totally hapless. I don't see anyone on the road schedule that I'd characterize that way.

      I think there's more opportunity to fail, than there is to succeed.

      We're about to find out.

      • I said earlier this year, M will end 9-3. I think 8-4 should be viewed as a disappointment because 10-2 is absolutely possible.

        I see Nebraska, Northwestern, and Indiana as certain wins.

        Currently, my book has you as a 1.5 fav at Wisconsin. They haven’t looked great. I see that as a win. And I haven’t bought into the Maryland hype. I think that’s a win, too. That’s 9 wins even if you lose the Michigan State, Penn State, and Ohio State games- and honestly. You should take one of those games and maybe two.
