Michigan comes back to win against Wisconsin

Monday, September 29th, 2008

It almost happened again. Michigan almost fumbled away another game. Michigan’s offense is still abysmal, but they were able to get it together enough to pull off the 2nd biggest comback in Michigan history. Wisconsin was up 19-0 at halftime and then was outscored 27-6 by the Wolverines in the second half.
Michigan only notched 1 [...]

Michigan fumbles away the game against Notre Dame

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Six turnovers? SIX? I know it was raining but hold on to the ball! And by the way, Nick Sheridan should not take another snap for Michigan. He’s terrible. He floats every pass.
Other problems for Michigan
They did not pressure the quarterback. Notre Dame gave up a record number of sacks last year. Michigan sacked [...]

Michigan loses second straight home opener to Utah

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

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 [...]

The Rich Rodriguez Era kicks off with a tough game against Utah

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

As 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 [...]

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Michigan’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.
Some cool points about [...]

What does ‘Rock Chalk Jayhawk’ mean?

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

All this hoopla about the Kansas football team last fall, and now KU’s incredible comeback victory in the NCAA tournament, the phrase ‘Rock Chalk Jayhawk’ has been thrown around a ton.
In an effort to educate myself, I visited Wikipedia (where else would I go for that type of information?) and found that there is a [...]

Third Annual Vigilante Sports NCAA Bracket Challenge Results

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

There is some good news and some bad news.
Good news first:

If Memphis could hit free throws, I would have locked up my second consecutive Vigilante Sports contests

Mario Chalmers can drain a prayer of 3 pointer to tie the game

All that to say [...]

Terrelle Pryor seals his own fate by signing with Ohio State

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

We 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 [...]

Ryan Mallett leaves Michigan

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Ryan Mallett has left the building. Shembechler Hall to be more specific. The freshman quarterback is going to transfer to another school, sit out next season and play his remaining 3 years of eligibility at another school.
This sucks.
I predict that Ryan Mallett will win the Heisman trophy. Wherever he goes. He’s that good. As a [...]
