How terrible bad are the Lions???
Well, it got me thinking....
What if we played the Lions, who would win??
So, I went and checked out each team's offensive stats.
(pun not necessarily intended....)
Dudes! Our offense's numbers are better than theirs AND our QB's numbers are better too ! WOOT WOOT
| | UNIV. OF MICHIGAN | DETROIT LIONS |
| | | |
| Total Offensive Yards | 3,613 | 2,048 |
| Offense: Avg Yds Per Play | 5.8 | 4.4 |
| 3rd Down Conversions | 46/119 (39%) | 42/106 (40%) |
| Rushing Yds Per Play | 4.8 | 3.8 |
| Passing Yds Per Play | 7.5 | 6.1 |
| Touchdowns | 37 | 12 |

| Daunte Culpepper | 62 | 35 | 384 | 56.5 |
| Denard Robinson | 22 | 11 | 179 | 50.0 |
Heck....even our defense seems to stack up even with them!?

So take heart, M-fans. All is not as bad as it seems.
Too bad we can't run the game on Madden or something just to be sure.....
If someone figures it out--lemme know!?

I think even the Lions would decimate Michigan right now. I for one am not all that excited about getting one more win so we have a 13th game to potentially be embarrassed in again. a 6-6 team has not "earned" a bowl game I'm sorry. If they win 2 of the next 3 then I'll be satisfied and ok with it but there's no way that's going to happen.
Anyone have ESPN insider and can lay down the truth of these rumors of Jim Harbaugh?
ESPN front page "Bye Rich Rod hello Jim Harbaugh."
I think RRs job is gone no matter what with whatever new AD they bring in.
the Lions would definitely beat Michigan. They would also beat Florida, Alabama, Texas, and every other college team. As would every other NFL team
ohio_guy:
dude, you are a killjoy
OF COURSE an NFL team will beat a college team.
It was a joke.
A comical premise that I thought would be funny to put up as a post since everyone is so darned down in the mouth about Michigan Football.
you, ohio_guy are no fun!
Whoa! After that dressing down I think I will scuttle what I was going to say. Never let it be said that WB is no fun.
wv = "blestest"
Truer words were never spoken.
Yep, Whets is fun. The one Buckeye I'd like to have beers with.
One day, Tom, one day.
wv = eject (I'm not going to take that personally)
Something tells me we weren't expecting great things from the team this year. The 4-0 start got us a shot of false confidence. The Spartan and Hawkeye games didn't help with that because they were so close. Based on that, I thought that Michigan might be able to hang with Penn State. I think it was the Penn State game where the wheels really came off the bus. The Illinois game was the icing on the cake.
