Like the rest of you, actually "rooting" for Michigan seems perverse, so here's the BrutusBobcat pre-game pep talk:
"Okay, Weasels -- the answer to 'what's in YOUR wallet?' had better be 'a Capital One Bowl win' or Senator Tressel is going to flat out humiliate your new coach next year. DO NOT let this conference down. After the computer points your losses to Appy State and Oregon have cost us, we are not going to be amused if you roll over and play dead for a second-rate SEC school. Put a gag on Mike Hart, even though he'll enjoy it, quit talking and play football. Try, try, try over the next month to teach your safeties correct pursuit angles. Chris Wells will not be playing for your opponent, so you don't need to curl up into a fetal position every time you see the Power-I formation. Get it into your heads that no one fears your winged helmets anymore, and that you're going to have to hitch up your panties and play with a mean streak. Find a stonecutter and carve some fingers into Manningham's hands while you're at it, and see if you can Dr. Frankenstein a brain into one of your QBs. I'd tell you to go out and win one for Llllllloyd, but you haven't done that in a big game during your entire careers, so think like this: you are the oldest orphan at the orphanage. Every parent who comes in wants one of the cute little kids, and you're the surly, unattractive redhead with limited potential. It's crunch time and you need a new parent yesterday. Comb your hair, smile the best smile your jacked teeth will allow, and try your best to impress the few potential future coaches looking at you. Who knows? Maybe one of them is blind. Now go out there and try to win something more meaningful than some damned 100 year old water jug."
