Little history lesson. There were many in 1983 who felt we should have played in a national football championship game instead in the Rose Bowl 🌹 against a top 25 UCLA team. We got rolled by that average PAC10 champ.

Bottonline, energy and focus has to be to continue to win games.

Thanks to UCLA backup QB Rick Neuheisel. Who as a coach years later got the University of Washington put on probation. Who to this day fills up the Pac-12 network with his hot takes.

i have UW buddies who call him “Rick New-weasel.”

Yeah...that was the game we played "after" Hugh Hefner invited the team over to the Playboy Mansion in recognition of our Rose Bowl appearance.

I still blame The Heff for that loss:)

Isn't it interesting that if Michigan State wins its first game Michigan will wind up playing Michigan State threee consecutive games (for them, at least).
Wouldn't mind MSU taking the "rubber game" from the "champion" Wolverines. In fact, it would be cool for the Illini to get another shot at the Spartans in the tournament championship game.

just wait, if MSU beats Maryland, Juwann Howard will complain to the league that its not fair for them to play the same team 3 times in a row and the game will get switched !!

I could see Michigan losing in the first round regardless of who they play. Brooks rolled his ankle pretty badly so I don't see him coming back any time soon

I know this point has been beaten to death, but please allow this additional observation. The champion being determined by winning percentage not only assumes that Michigan would have gone 3-0 in 3 games that it didn’t have to play, but also assumes no season-altering injuries happen in those games. Yesterday’s game proved those can happen at any moment. I would never wish that upon anyone, but as they always say, it’s “part of the game.”

As much fun as it is to beat the Hoosiers like a dusty rug yet again, and once more show the Big Ten who the most dominant center is, I would actually prefer to exact revenge on the Scarlet Pimpernels, and erase the bad taste of that earlier inexplicable loss to Rutgers.
