Every Monday we will be posting a “Week ‘x’ Trend Report”.  Trending IN Fitz Toussaint looks more and more like Michigan’s best running back.  Detroit News on Fitz’s big day.  I can’t argue with Touch the Banner… Perhaps the best part of Toussaint’s game is the way he finishes runs.  Despite not being particularly big, [...]

Michigan 36  Purdue 14 Well, if there is going to be a second-half, post-MSU-loss collapse for Team 132 it hasn’t started yet.  Michigan spent a few hours on their Saturday afternoon handling a fairly weak Purdue team. In reading some post-game columns and going through the post-game presser – the theme is that Michigan has [...]

I toyed with a “Yardage Predictor” deal last season where I used the data from previous games in the season to make a more educated prediction on how Michigan would fare against their opponents and vice versa.  This year, I’ve decided to resurrect the Yardage Predictor and utilize a “yards per point” metric.  Yards per [...]

I’m stuck at a hospice facility right now AND buried with actual work (time to recruit someone for the blog – more on that later), which has been going for a solid month-month-and-a-half, but I couldn’t resist throwing this .gif up.  Vincent smith has become one of my favorite players on this team and for [...]

Northwestern is one of those teams, for me personally, that strikes fear into my eyes.  Not because of Dan Persa, or any other player on this year’s version of the Northwestern Wildcats, but because of how I was traumatized in 1995 (highlights, box score)  and 1996 (highlights, box score).  At the time, I was a [...]

Michigan 58 – Southwestern Minnesota Tech 0 Those uniforms looked a lot like Minnesota’s out there on Saturday, but man, they sure didn’t play like Minnesota.  Don’t take that the wrong way either – I’m not saying Minnesota is anything halfway special, but wow, that was a poor showing.  And that score suggests two things [...]
