inside the fort coming on Friday um fellows me how's it going today uh we got a little more juice

it feels like when we were talking to some players and coaches this week they all know that these

games are a little bit more important and they're going to be a little bit tougher and for

Rutgers that's the funny part about this yeah you know it know, it's just like, normally you'd be like, oh, well, ho-hum, but it's a step up in competition for what they've seen. And Rutgers is playing solid ball. They got a good defense. I think a solid defense, you know, who knows how good they are. We're going to find out a lot about a lot of teams this week, frankly, and Rutgers being one of them in Michigan. So, of course, maybe not.

You know what?

I remember a couple years ago. we're going to find out a lot about a lot of teams this week, frankly, and Rutgers being one of them in Michigan.

So, of course, maybe not. You know what? I remember a couple years ago, Rutgers in Michigan.

Rutgers played Michigan to a standstill for most of the game there. And then Michigan went on to win the Big Ten and Rutgers was crappy.

So, however, you hope that Michigan will respond against better competition. I think they will. I think having their head coach back means something, fellows. It's like our Totchman, one of our respective posters on the board said, it's like going into battle without your general, you know, and that's basically what it's been. So excited to see what happens on Saturday. It's kind of crazy that compared to what we watch the first three weeks, it feels like

Ohio State Week almost.

There's just so much more juice.

And the slate this weekend in general, we had to kind of gut through last week's slate

as college football fans at large.

This week's slate, we're going to pick those games later.

Incredible.

So looking forward to see what Michigan does in their non-conference opener.

It finally feels like there's a complete product on the table. We'll discuss all that coming

up. But yeah, really excited for conference play and to get this thing rolling.
