2009, and Looking Ahead to 2010

I’m cool. Real cool. It’s all good. Seriously. A fury of circumstances has turned me against writing anything for about an entire week. Most of all, I just needed a mental break from thinking about this football program and how this once promising season turned to dog poo. It sucks to be on the bottom [...]

Don’t Panic

Another ugly Saturday – Michigan gets pushed around in Madison. One loss away from a second consecutive bowl-less season, and one win away from what would be a season-salvaging, bowl-qualifying win against Ohio State. The mood surrounding this Michigan program will take a 180 if Michigan can pull an upset at home next week. The [...]

Monday Presser Notes – RR

Notes from what RR is saying up at the podium: RR on Minor’s shoulder: “It’s concerning. It’s his shoulder now.

Mid-Purdue-Week Rant

It’s been somewhat of an intriguing week of news and notes after Michigan hits it’s presumed 2009 season bottom. This weekend’s game has the potential to be very impactful to the program’s development, which will benefit from about 15 extra practices for a bowl game should Michigan snag that sixth win. Unless Michigan can manage [...]

Ok, Moving on to Purdue…

Let me just say this – one play or one shift in momentum is not the sole reason a team loses. If Michigan manages to get in the endzone to go up 20-7 against Illinois, do I think they walk out with a win? Yes. So Michigan isn’t able to punch it in, so what? [...]
