Clarett still "uncertain"

[JSMOOTH]

As reported on cbssportsline, This sissy's status is "the same as it was against Illinois."

I predict that he'll try and play, and Victor Hobson will send him to the sidelines dragging his left arm.

JSmooth,

Been watching Michigan football since I was four. . . especially Michigan/Ohio State. Everyone knows the key to this rivalry has always been the running game. Perry will need to come up HUGE for Michigan to walk off the field with a W.

I could care less whether Clarett plays. . . if he does, Perry will need a huge game, if he doesn't, Perry will need a huge game! This is his chance to shine as other Michigan RBs have done in the past. I'll never forget Tim Biakabatuka's (if that's how you spell it) coming out party a few years ago against the Buckeyes in a similar situation as we will have this weekend.

Side note: this whole bet thing you have going doesn't make any sense to me. . . it's a lose/lose situation as you won't win simply because the other is going to leave this forum. What have you won??? Besides, I thought we were all here to beat the man. . . didn't know we were supposed to bet against each other

Either way, I've always enjoyed your posts and your biased views as I share them as well with Michigan. Hopefully the Wolves come up with a big win on Saturday.

Gl if you end up leaving. . .

Just as a side note. . .

Forgot to mention that I found out this week that if Ohio State wins, I'll have tickets to the Fiesta Bowl. . . never been to the National Championship game before and would love to go, but I still can't root againt Michigan in this one. . .

Guess I'm kind of in a win/win situation which makes things easier to handle if Michigan loses, but I'll be rooting for the Maize and Blue.

Go Blue

Thanks Nickelback. BTW - It's spelled Biakubutuka. and he rushed for 313 yds that game. The same year that some guy named Eddie won the heisman.

You're right bout Perry, but I think BJ Askew and Bennie Joppru will need to be the big dogs in this one.

As for my bet.......I never made it as a wise man

Maurice Clarett made one guarantee for Saturday's showdown against Michigan: He will play.

Clarett, bothered by a stinger and bruised joint in his left shoulder, sat out second-ranked Ohio State's overtime victory over Illinois last week. But the freshman tailback vowed Tuesday that he would not miss this weekend's showdown against the Wolverines (No. 9 ESPN/USA Today, No. 12 AP).

The school confirmed on Wednesday that Clarett is expected to play.

At stake for the 12-0 Buckeyes: the chance to play for the national championship Jan. 3 in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

"I wouldn't care if I was 20 percent, you're going to see Maurice Clarett on the field," he told the Akron Beacon Journal. "I'm 100 percent. I'm ready to play. I'm excited to play. It's Michigan week."

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was not as emphatic Tuesday, but told the newspaper, "I expect him to play this week."

"The trainers say that his strength is much better than it was a week ago," Tressel said of Clarett's shoulder. "Yet his strength was right on the edge of being able to go last weekend, probably could have.

"I would bet that if the Illinois game was the last regular-season game that he would have gone."

JSMOOTH...kind of disappointed to see you were wrong...


but Tshimanga Biakabutuka is the actual name...but I just call him Touchdown Tim

Nickelback had it right the first time. Hopefully we see Biakabutuka resurrect his career....possibly first in the CFL and then bring him back to the NFL.

GO BLUE!!!

U MIGHT HOPE SO BUT THE MICHIGAN DEFENSE DOESNT!!!!!:thefinger

 

[bjfinste]

However the hell you spell it, as someone who dislikes both teams (but probably Michigan a bit more), I remember watching Biakabutuka go buckwild in that game is probably my top memory from this whole series. Talk about taking over a game...

Youre breaking the cardinal rule smooth... Youre letting your emotions control your wallet.
