sometimes those games are the best ones....

But yes, so far it's been pretty dull in and of itself.

Usually the ESPN Thursday Night games are crazy, but with one exception, they've been pretty dull.

Only game I think will be closer.....Iowa/Michigan.

Iowa usually plays Michigan extremely tight. They always get up big time for this game.

maybe...

I don't know...

Iowa looks to be on the verge of a collapse. Tate has no confidence in his receivers and their defense isn't as good as it looked early on.

You may be right there.....

Michigan has a tough, tough pass rush, and he could get into trouble.

I am judging from past years, and maybe they have simply folded.

yeah....

This Iowa team is a lot younger than the past couple years. They just don't have it in them yet.

But those Freshmen will own the Big Ten title at least one time before they are out of Iowa City.

Ferentz will try to rally them, Michigan has just gone through a huge stretch of emotional games, so I am guessing M could let down a bit.

On the other hand, M has been thinking for months this would be tough game at the end of their toughest stretch.

Could be interesting.

Normally I'd agree with you, but this Michigan team is a bit different.

They haven't shown the propensity to let down this year like they have in the past....

Meanwhile...Utes 17, Lobos 3. :-) UNM can't get anything going on offense so far. About time an offense didn't show up against us, we gave Wyoming's frosh QB a watershed game last week.

Another good game to watch for strength of schedule is Cal v Wahington. I haven't seen Cal, but know Washington gave USC a big scare.

the OSU Michigan game should be very interesting....

If it follows, I'd bet it isn't much of a game and Cal wins by a couple TDs....

I wish....

But I don't want to have to take out a 2nd mortgage on my house to get a ticket :)

:-)

I do think this is likely the best game of the year.

Should be great to watch.......or even to mortgage your house for.....

24-3 Utes! Man, we're such a bipolar team this year. We either dominate or just don't show up at all.

No doubt, like we did last year against Ga Tech in the Emerald Bowl. UNM Finally scored, 24-10.
