ESPN Dudes Backing Michigan in NCAA Case

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

What Ya Done Fa Me Lately, huh?

The wonderful world of college football, where last week’s biggest win is essentially out the window – come one more Saturday down the road you can kiss it goodbye. Couple big wins here and there – and you’d think a coach was a legend. Bad loss, maybe a couple in a row, and [...]

People – Just Accept Reality

Right – shouldn’t we be screaming to fire Rich Rodriguez at this point? Many fans are doing just that and think that Rodriguez has driven a proud program straight into the ground. I get it – the winningest program in all of the land has hit hard times – a rock bottom. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Positive Thinking…

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 [...]

The Penn State Debacle

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 [...]

Post DSU Romp and on to Penn State

My little sister is a sophomore at Ball State – so while Michigan was walking all over Delaware State I was attending Ball State’s family weekend and watching the winless Ball State Cardinals get smoked by Bowling Green in Muncie, IN. There simply is nothing like college football on a Saturday in the fall. [...]
