Scott Van Pelt of ESPN talking about receiving a text message from a University of Texas coach about Michigan’s NCAA violations. Saying that at least 90% of teams would be guilty of these same violations – and there wouldn’t even be enough teams to fill all of the BCS bowl slots. Also saying [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Notes from what RR is saying up at the podium:

RR on Minor’s shoulder: “It’s concerning. It’s his shoulder now. Talking to trainers, it’s day-to-day.”

On Carlos Brown – knee is still bothering him a little bit.

RR on OSU: “If you coach and play here and, you understand this rivalry every day.” “Legends are made in [...]

Unless Michigan [...]

As far as “interesting” goes – this season has been nothing short of interesting. Michigan fans have experienced some real nice highs – see Notre Dame win. And this team has given Michigan fans some September-provided-hope-ridden lows – see Penn State loss. There are plenty of reasons to be negative at this [...]

A debacle it was. What a great start to the day. Woke up 6am to drive up to Ann Arbor from Dayton, Ohio. Brought the girlfriend to her first Michigan game. Tailgating was prime – got a good 4 hours of hanging out and drinking in before kickoff. Checked out [...]
