NU @ UM Prediction Thread
- Thread starter rmndcat
- Start date
Why do these morons come over to opposition boards to gloat?
it’s win win for NU. Stay close and you are viewed as improving. Get socked 63-7 and we get to watch Hardballs do his usual end of the year collapse with PSU and OSU.

That’s almost qualifies as an understandable sentence. You’re probably in an honors program.
Both my brother and sister are U of M grads. First time I heard that term was from my brother. I found it rather amusing!!!!! Wal-Mart Wolverines abound at the Big House, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as they fill the stands and spend $$$. NU could use some Wal-Mart fans, as it would help the program in various ways. I am a Wal-Mart Cat fan, and that is the what the University needs to target to grow the fan base . It would really grow the "brand"!!!!
I was about as bearish as could be on Northwestern last week, and I'm fairly bullish this week.
That being said, Michigan is likely to end up being the best and most complete team on our schedule.
I think we show enough this weekend to show that we can get to 6+ wins and go bowling.

My heart says we win on a last second field goal 24-21 ( and if there is justice, half of our offensive line should be moving when the ball is snapped). But my brain says Michigan wears us down and hit a few long runs and beat us going away:
UM 31
NU 14
UM 31
NU 14
33-32 might be the strangest football score ever, should it (beautifully) happen.
LOL. Even though this is our own message board, I guess we're not allowed to voice any optimism here. Carry on, Boilers! You have the best players and the best team ever!
No.. you can, but you’re definitely the most smug fans in the big ten. Many of you also make it clear how little you watch other games.
I predict we insert JJ for multiple drives in which he can work on exploiting the Wildcats under performing DE's. Otherwise, man ball all day.
I think this squad of Wolverines showed some grit on the fields of Nebraska.
I have not seen that in a while.
Love and respect to the Fightin' Fitzes. I like to see you guys do well.
Michigan 34
Northwestern 10
Go Blue!

Really!!!! Very cool!!!! I am originally from Allen Park, class of '88 hence my nickname.
Joe, I was about to post the exact same heart/brain prediction: brain - UM 31 Cats 14, heart - Cats 24-21. Hope my heart is stronger than my brain, which is usually the case.
That’s what’s up I went to school in Southfield class of 2010 wow I just showed my age Young Buck.
You can’t begin to imagine how awful they were back when Tiller had the Boilers humming. Think Iowa fans.
(I’m only addressing the keyboard warrior contingent. When I went to games down there, I never had a bad experience. Run of the mill fans seemed o.k.)
Anyone go to Mumford? I just know it from the Axel Foley t-shirt in Beverley Hills Cop. Otherwise I know nothing about Detroit area high schools.
To read people who think you got your defensive mojo back against the 109th ranked offense in college football (right behind mighty Akron). What’s more entertaining than that??
We appreciate that, Sir.
Not optimistic at all for this one. I know Fitz's teams usually come to play against UM and the other Big Boys, but its about the OL. We looked respectable against Rutgers pretty ugly looking DL. I think our OL gets exposed again tomorrow. If they somehow can protect Hilinski before Blue gets a big lead, then I could be wrong. I'm not expecting it.
Also, we had an extra week of practice to put together a solid showing against a weak Big Ten team. Do we beat Rutgers without the bye week? I have my doubts. Now UM gets the extra week for us, not that they need it.

Don’t know if you can actually read but this is a Northwestern fan site so of course we’re going to have a lot of optimism after playing one of our better games of the season but no one ever said anything about our defense having our mojo back if anything our defense finally has played a solid game never heard of a boiler football troll but you must be pumping your chest out over your best win this year against the most overrated number 2 team in the nation so why don’t you go back to your own hut bud with your whiny *** coach!
Purdue, where the most famous alum was probably horrifically boring to talk to... and he was the first person on the Moon.
I had triple bypass surgery many years ago, so I think my heart is now stronger than my brain (I suspect some would claim that isn’t saying much given my brain).
Truman HS(closed down a few years ago) was in Taylor, MI, and Allen Park borders Taylor from the East. Allen Park is 6 miles south of Detroit. Southfield is NW of Detroit by about the same distance as the other forementioned cities. Mumford is one of the major high schools in Detroit and is one of the better ones in the city. Eddie put them on the map with that t-shirt and the school was able to raise some $$$$ of of that. I am in Sumter SC now, but still pull for the D and of course the Downriver area where I am from!

Cool story. I watched Beverly Hills Cop recently for the first time in probably 25 years and noticed that Eddie wore that shirt for almost the entire movie. I had to look up Mumford, as I had no idea what it was. Great publicity!
I've been to Detroit only once, and that was the day prior to the 1995 NU game against Michigan. I'd like to get back and see a Tigers game (looks like a neat ballpark). Ideally it would be a September game when NU is playing on a Saturday against Michigan or MSU. That would be a fun trip.
Downtown Detroit in September would be very nice. Comerica Park is a great venue and surrounding Greek town is fun with a lot of restaurants around, plus the casinos!!! It is still somewhat warm, in September, so you should enjoy yourself!!!
That was three years ago pal but since we’re gonna play that game lost to Appalachian State oops that must’ve hurt!
It's blocked, it's blocked!!!!! They were selling t shirts in Ohio with that on it right after it happened. I drove to Findlay to visit some friends after watching that game on TV. Buckeye fans went nuts and almost considered it as great as a Buckeye win against the team up north.
I am an Eastern Michigan alum. EMU is about 8 miles east of Ann Arbor and a straight shot down Washtenaw Ave to the heart of U of M. Ypsilanti didn't have much in terms of things to do, so we would go to AA on the weekends sometimes. A lot of those kids are indeed smug, but not as smart as they think.
