How much is this game going to suck?

Michigan's defense can't stop anything. Notre Dame can't score to save their lives. Probably no Henne for Michigan, and Notre Dame has a decent D. It's going to be one ugly uncomfortable game to watch.

The good:
Both teams are coming in 0-2.
One team will leave 0-3.

The bad.
One team will finally win.

Normally this is the only time out of the year when I'd cheer for Michigan, but right now, I can't decide which team I'd rather see 0-3. I'm half tempted to cheer for Notre Lame so I don't have to hear anymore more nonsense about how great Michigan is for a good long while.

Hammel's got a hell of an arm...I hope they let him air it out a few times, I want to see exactly how hard he can chuck it :p

Other than that...I'm just hoping that we don't COMPLETELY embarrass ourselves (we have about 3% dignity left).

Giving up 30+ points a game is decent D? I dunno, if Hart is able to play and play well enough, he might be able to single handedly carry Michigan to a win. Michigan very well may suck, but I'm almost convinced ND sucks even more...

And each of them will have at least 8 titles more than Wisconsin at the end of the year also.

Yea, thats all they'll have. ND hasn't won a bowl game since 1994, and Michigan has 4 straight bowl losses. Tradition is great and all, but what have they done lately? Since 2004 the Badgers have more wins than any other Big 10 team.

eh, ND hasn't won a bowl game but they usually get invited to a bowl that they shouldn't be in because the bowl knows it will make a ton of money.

What do Notre Dame and Marijuana have in common? They both get smoked in bowls.

And yet they haven't won the Big Ten Championship since the turn of the century. What has Wisconsin done that's so great? Yes, we know, they've won all their bowl games as of late. Whoop-de-do.

My cousin has a BA from Notre Dame, a MBA from Michigan, and is a diehard football fan. I'm surprised he hasn't comitted suicide yet.

As a UW fan, I'm not entirely sold on Tyrone Willingham, but look at where Washington is. They are 2-0 with a 2 TD win over #20 Boise State. UW is also using a Freshman quarterback and a young/patchwork offensive line. Compare that to where Weis is in his third year with much higher recruiting classes.

Mallett appears to have a canon on his right shoulder... but I do think ND will win this game. Michigan's defense is that bad imo.

Edit: got my names mixed up.
