Representing: TTTUN

Wolverines are Wolverines, but we did have one that was sane enough to hold our weekly interview. Maize n Brew Dave joins us with his thoughts and feelings (as if we really care about That Team Up North) on the game and their season.


1. Right now, how do you feel about where TTUN is as a team? 


Offensively meh to good. Defensively horrid. I honestly have no faith in the defensive coaching staff to make adjustments or teach fundamentals. That said, we're talking about a single player in the back five who's played moer than a season (Jordan Kovacs). Sometimes it takes a while. Overall, I think the state of the team is where it should be based on the transition and personnel issues and I'm pleased with the direction the program is headed in.


2. Denard Robinson is your best weapon. Who else can your team build around to make big plays? 


If healthy, Darryl Stonum is one of my favorite players on this team. He's a legitimate homerun and deep ball threat. At running back I'm really excited about the future of freshman running back Stephen Hopkins. He's what you would get if Ferrari started designing road graders. I'm fairly certain you will come to hate him in the next few years.


3. What has to happen for tOSU to beat UM, and vice versa? 


For UM to win the offense can't sputter once. There is no margin of error in this game. For tOSU to win, Michigan simply has to play like it did against Wisconsin, Iowa, PSU or MSU. If the offense fails to click, I think tOSU rolls.


4. Your defense..swiss cheese, or butter?  

It's actually a Sieve.

5. How will TTUN finish? (Bowl Game?) 


Assuming a loss on Saturday 8-5. Assuming a win on Saturday 8-5. I think Michigan wins a lower tier bowl game if they finish the season with 7 regular season wins. I think they get outclassed in a higher tier game.

THE Rivalry: It's A Hate Thing

Hate Week is in full swing in Buckeye Nation, and this afternoon we would like to feast your eyes on some good old fashioned hate. Also, after the jump we have video of the Mirror Lake Jump 2010. Terrelle Pryor, DeVier Posey, and Nate Oliver all were there. First things first, let's get the pictures going.
