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 [...]

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.

They did not pressure the quarterback. Notre Dame gave up a record number of sacks last year. Michigan sacked [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

After about a month of misfires, and hiccups Michigan announced Rich Rodriguez as their new coach on Sunday. They will formally announce it on Monday at a press conference. To take the job at Michigan, Rodriguez is leaving his post as West Virginia’s head coach, a job that he has held since the 2001 season.
During [...]

So, let me get this straight. Les Miles doesn’t want to coach at Michigan, but he does want to ‘assist’ them in finding a new football coach, ‘as any loyal alumnus would’? Sounds a little fishy to me. Especially if I’m LSU AD Skip Bertman. All of this said while in the middle of a [...]

Well that certainly puts a dent in plans to bring Miles to Ann Arbor. Apparently Miles had no interest in the position. According to Skip Bertman, LSU’s Athletic Director, Miles never held that over their head. He sure could have. I’m glad to see that he didn’t.
One thing that causes me pause… Why? Did he [...]
