Below is a cool interview from Off Tackle Empire with Rich Rod because they actually talk about football and go through some game tape. Nothing ground breaking, but nice to see an interview in a bit of a different format from his office and not the presser room. Enjoy… Off Tackle Empire Blog interview with [...]

For the 2010 season I will be posting a summary from each Monday and Wednesday press conference as it happens. It’s essentially a regurgitation of several twitter feeds from those that are fortunate enough to have jobs that entail them being at the pressers. Here we go… I will be updating below as I get [...]

Hot Damn! Didn’t you think it was coming after last years win over Notre Dame!? I sure did. I thought it was coming last year after starting with season out with four straight victories. In the end, it was not to be. Michigan fell apart game after game. Even after losses against Michigan State and [...]

Here is some video of RR speaking at the Victors Rally on Sunday at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor.

Just as Michigan fans ponder the volume of three star prospects among this years 27 verbal commitments, national recruiting expert Tom Lemming has shared his thoughts on how this recruiting class stacks up. “It’s an exceptionally athletic class,” Lemming said. “It’s a class full of athletes at every position.

A 4-star Scout and 3-star Rivals [...]

Notes: Tate was solid but had a few reads he’d like to have back Felt comfortable offensively – need to do a better job [...]

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 [...]

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? [...]

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 point in the [...]
