All I'm saying is it's in FLA. Not like the team is asking you guy's to drive to Texas or Arizona.

I guess we will see how horrible our offense is when everyone is healthy. I see a tight ballgame but a victory of 7-10 point margin is extremely doable.

We will still bring our share of fans so no worries, but I would want 3 days minimum to make this trip and Im not sure I can swing it. I would of made a day trip out of Jax. If we had gone to the Cotton bowl in Texas I would of told work to screw off because no way would I miss that.

LSU vs. Clempsun in the Chicken sandwich bowl. That's gonna be a fun one to watch.

Retweeted Andy Demetra (@GamecockRadio):

Offensive line coach Shawn Elliott coached vs. Michigan in '07 while at Appalachian State. That might get brought up this month.

No doubt they'll look down on the matchup like our fans looked down on the potential Northwestern matchup.

[BornCocky'86]

I can't wait for this matchup!

They are facing a team that has been in the top 10 for 2 years straight, not much to look down on.

Outback Bowl against South Carolina.

Go Blue!!



Possibly Gator Bowl against Vandy. If Cap One takes Nebraska, Outback might take NW. We'll see. Lots of politicking going on behind the scenes right now. Personally, I'd rather play Vandy in the Gator. South Carolina is a poor matchup for us. We could get blown out

This is from a UM fan FWIW

Can't wait for this game. I'll definitley be making the trip for this one.

Yeah, especially since they will be the underdog. That is a great comparison.

yup theyll line up shoelace at rb or put him in for designed runs. plus with a month to prepare they can probably do some creative things. gardner obviously isnt quite the runner that denard is, but he is a good athlete who will run some and who can actually throw the ball down the field.

how he does against our defense remains to be seen, but they have talented athletes who can makes plays if we're not sound. if we can contain their running game, get a lead, hopefully we can tee off on them. tackling and lane discipline will be at a premium.

Where's the line gonna open? -7.5 or so? What'cha think?

That would be my guess. Somewhere around 7.

I have watched them several times this year. We should win by 40. If we can tackle Robinson, this game will never be close. Big 10 football is awful this year. It is like watching football in slow motion. My brother in law went to Michigan, will enjoy ragging on him. He is already asking for a 10 point spot.
