The Rich Rodriguez Era began dubiously on Saturday when the Wolverines fell to the Utah Utes 25-23. I have to say it wasn’t really that close.
The first half was thoroughly embarassing for Michigan. They couldn’t move the ball and they could stop Brian Johnson and the Utes. It was Johnson and kicker Sakoda that [...]

Michigan loses second straight home opener to Utah
Sunday, August 31st, 2008Need a few good Fantasy Football players
Friday, August 29th, 2008One of the Fantasy Football leagues that I run has seen a lot of turnover this year and we’re needing to fill a few spots. If there is anyone out there that’s interested, comment on this post and I can get you set up.
The Rich Rodriguez Era kicks off with a tough game against Utah
Thursday, August 28th, 2008As we all know Michigan’s home opener last year was an embarrassment. This year the Wolverines bring a Utah team into the Big House that has BCS bowl aspirations. Michigan will also be breaking in a new head coach, offensive philosophy, starting quarterback, starting running back and it’s wide receiving corps.
That’s enough for me [...]
Michigan unveils new football uniforms from adidas
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Michigan’s football team will have some new threads this fall (and for many years to come). The new uniforms are courtesy of adidas. Michigan has been in a relationship with Nike for many years, so this is a huge change for the university the traditionally has been a leader in merchandise sales.

The Seahawks cut Alexander unconditionally. Perhaps worth a look for the Bears?
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Shaun Alexander wore out his welcome here in Seattle and was cut by the Seahawks Tuesday in a move that surprised no one. He was just 2 years into an 8 year contract worth $62 million. Because he’s a football player that money is not guaranteed so Alexander out a hefty chunk of change. But [...]
Terrelle Pryor seals his own fate by signing with Ohio State
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008We all remember Maurice Clarett don’t we? Today Terrelle Pryor announced that he’ll be playing football for Ohio State this fall. Pryor claimed that he thought that OSU gave him a better chance to make the NFL.
By that did he mean, “They don’t really care how long I stay here, they just want to use [...]
The Bears sign 2 washed up wide receivers to replace the 2 they just let go
Monday, March 10th, 2008The Bears have picked up re-tred Marty Booker and notorious malcontent Brandon Lloyd to round out their receiving corps.
These signings leave the Bears without a go to receiver for any of their inadequete quarterbacks to throw.
I think Jerry Angelo should have his General Manager card taken away when it comes to signing offensive players. [...]

Mushin Muhammad is not the Bears problem anymore
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Tra-la, tra-la, tra-la.
Mushin, thanks for bringing that veteran “leadership” and for letting your play do the talking. It really spoke more loudly than you ever could have.
The funny thing is that the Carolina Panthers are bringing him back. Don’t they know just as well as the Bears that Mushin isn’t all he’s cracked up to [...]
The Bears bring Grossman back to torture their fans
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008So we’re in for another year of “Rex is our quarterback”. Ugh. The Bears say that Grossman will have to compete for the starting job with Kyle Orton, Brian Griese or whomever the Bears bring in at quarterback. Hopefully they’ll draft a solid QB in the upcoming draft, but my confidence in Jerry Angelo drafting [...]
