Harbaugh.

Well, VaTech beat'em last year and Penn State was mighty close...

It's not like Ohio State is invincible... Wouldn't be shocked to see them lose a game they shouldn't next season.

THIS

I see them over looking a team and getting upset by a team that has nothing to lose and luck on they side

**This Sequel Won’t Suck … If you enjoyed ESPN’s “Training Days” special on Ohio State in August of 2012 – during the first preseason camp of the Urban Meyer era – then we have good news for you.

ESPN will be returning to OSU this August and the Buckeyes will once again be featured on “Training Days.” If you haven’t seen it, it’s basically ESPN’s version of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” which features an NFL team during training camp.

“The guys are fired up about it,” a source told us. “And this is obviously great for recruiting too. It’s like a week-long infomercial for our program.”

Would bet Little ends up back at A&M.. Aggies have gotten basically everyone they wanted from Allen for awhile.

Kyler ain't gonna lose.

I'm so over following recruiting. All the stuff with Mack ruined it for me last year 

The world would be a better place if we didn't give these HS kids a platform to rustle the jimmies of adults

Michigan's contract with Nike: $169 million over 11 years, the richest in college sports

ANN ARBOR -- Back in May, the three biggest names in athletic apparel wooed Michigan with varying forms of flattery.

Adidas draped a giant banner featuring its three-stripped logo and the block "M" over one side of the company's Portland headquarters. Nike painted a field on its Beaverton, Oregon, campus to match the turf at Michigan Stadium, pairing it with a massive wall reading, "GO BLUE." Under Armour hung a welcoming sign at the entrance of its Baltimore corporate offices.

Those were all well and good. Nice gestures of appreciation.

What mattered most, though, was Michigan's valuation. Displays of amity aside, each company had to present U-M with a mega-deal to replace the eight-year contract worth $7.5 million annually between the Wolverines and Adidas set to expire on July 31, 2016.

Last week it was announced that Nike won out in the bid to be Michigan's official athletic footwear, apparel and equipment provider.

On Wednesday, it was learned exactly why.

According to contract details released by the Michigan athletic department, the university's deal with Nike is worth $169 million over 11 years, making it by far the richest of all apparel deals in collegiate athletics. The contract, which will supply all 31 U‐M athletic programs with uniforms, footwear, apparel and equipment, will pay $76.8 million in cash and $80.2 million in apparel.

Michigan will receive $12 million upfront, followed by $10.1 million-$10.9 million annually in cash and apparel/equipment.

The contract will pay $4.82 million per year over the first 10 years of the deal, before rising to $5.32 million the the 11th year and final year. From there, U-M will have the option to sign a four-year extension worth $5.82 million per season.

For apparel and products, Michigan will receive $5.3 million in the first year of the deal. The figure will be lowered to $4.7 million in year two and rise by $100,000 per year until reaching $5.6 million in year 11. The figure will will continue to rise by $100,000 in years 12-15, should U-M opt for the extension.

The deal easily laps Notre Dame's apparel agreement with Under Armour, signed In January 2014, which is reportedly worth over $90 million. Among public universities which make their apparel contracts available for review, U-M easily outdistances the field.

Largest Athletic Apparel Deals Among Public Colleges Michigan (Nike): $10.1 million-$10.9 million Texas (Nike): $5.56 million-$5.76 million Florida State (Nike): $4.2 million-$4.5 million LSU (Nike): $4.1 million-$4.5 million Louisville (Adidas): $4.06 million-$4.28 million Kansas (Adidas): $3.8 million-$4.2 million Ohio State (Nike): $3.6 million-$4.21 million UCLA (Adidas): $3.54 million-$5.5 million
*contract begins in 2016

Michigan's previous deal with Adidas long stood as the largest apparel contract in college sports before Notre Dame's deal.

In it's new deal with Nike, Michigan will also be able to offer three student internships at Nike headquarters.

Additionally, according to U-M, the school and Nike will "will collaborate throughout the agreement on innovation initiatives in sports technology, design and best practices including at least two community events per year that support and celebrate education in health and wellness initiatives."

The Wolverines' deal dwarfs some of Nike's other recent university contracts.

In February, Nike extended its contract with Florida through 2024, netting the Gators from $3.1 million to 3.5 million per year in Nike products. That deal did not include an annual cash payment, however. Prior to that, Tennessee secured an eight-year contract through 2023 worth nearly $4 million annually in merchandise and cash. The Vols' deal also came with a $2 million signing bonus.

While Nike has not renewed some contracts with some well known collegiate brands recently, such as the Miami Hurricanes, it is still the largest NCAA apparel provider. In 2014-15, all four teams in the inaugural College Football Playoff and men's basketball national champion Duke were all Nike schools.

While U-M's future is now set through at least 2027 with Nike, other major collegiate athletic departments will soon be on the market for lucrative new deals. Texas (Nike), Indiana (Adidas), Wisconsin (Adidas), Michigan State (Nike) and Virginia (Nike) all have apparel deals ending in 2016.

The return of Michigan to Nike marks a reunion of a 13-year relationship from 1994 to 2007.

Back in 1994, the Wolverines entered into a now-modest six-year deal worth $8 million. It was among the first department-wide apparel contracts of its kind.

Michigan will continue to wear Adidas through the 2015-16 academic year before officially returning to Nike in July 2016. The changeover will be complete in August 2016. Fans won't be able to purchase any U-M Nike gear until that time.

Where have I seen this before....

Anyways...

Saban might be the whiniest, sore loser out there (even more so than Cardo or other Dawg fans). He's blaming the NFL draft and player evaluations as to why they lost their playoff game against Ohio State. Dude can't just admit that a Big Ten, Urban Meyer coached team was better than his "mighty" SEC championship team. Dude's a bum

The south is an interesting place.
