Is there anyone in their mid-40’s factoring social security into their retirement equation? I think of it as a nice to have bonus.

We haven't played many guys there, so we are pretty thin with experience. Could be a big week for some guys who haven't got much PT so far.

I guess it depends on what you estimate you will need to live on, if you have a pension, when you will take social security.

OSU spent $20 million to be slightly above average, so who cares how much Michigan spends on an eighteen year old.

I don't see many of these seniors opting out. Maybe a transfer reciever but many of these guys want this one badly. Too much losing and they want to go out winning. This isn't a case of top draft picks having a disappointing season. Win 2 or 3 more and they may ALL play.

Against OSU he gave them a huge first down when we had them stopped and also got torched deep. But he also had an INT. So I guess on balance he was OK at least in that game.

I’m sure UCLA has a bunch of injuries, too.

Which makes it almost exactly the same, with regard to ratios. Considering there are 11 playoff spots open for 67 teams - essentially 1 in 6 teams get into the playoff. 1 in 5.3 get into the NCAA tourney.

I think of net worth as something fun to watch, if things are going well. Are you not more concerned with cash flow in retirement?

Also, NU fans will travel in hordes to whatever game we get. I know Ill be there. Its a good chance for our fans to show some of these empty bowl game stadiums what they have been missing with all our sucking.

Haarberg started 8 games for us last year, but really only played 7 since he went out so early against Maryland.
DR has started 8 games for us this year.

here's how they and the offenses compare:

HH - 49% completions, 1,444 total yards, 11 total TDs, 6 INTs (7 games)
DR - 66.1% completions, 1,686 total yards, 9 total TDs, 7 INTs (8 games)

the offense is averaging 24ppg compared to 22ppg last year during HH's starts
the offense is averaging 358ypg compared to 317ypg last year during HH's starts

pretty similar numbers. by far the biggest improvement is in fumbles lost, but that really hasn't translated to more points.

W/L record is the same.

I was pretty surprised to see how similar our production has been this year compared to last year's ragtag bunch.
