I know he emphatically said that he was the coach at LSU, and the he would be the coach at LSU, and that the media was doing him and his team a disservice by reporting that he would take the job coaching the Michigan Wolverines. He also said that he felt bad for Michigan fans [...]

Ohio States visits the Big House to face Michigan for a trip to the Rose Bowl
Thursday, November 15th, 2007These teams are in unfamiliar territory. They both enter this game following a loss. Last week Michigan lost to Wisconsin on the road, and the then number 1 ranked Buckeyes got upset when they visited the Fighting Illini. The last time Michigan came into the OSU game following a loss was 1996 (they lost to [...]
Michigan vs. Michigan State Recap
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007A tale of two halves. In the first half, Michigan State repeatedly shot itself in the foot with penalties, and Michigan absolutely shut down the Spartan rushing attack.

Michigan vs. Northwestern Preview
Thursday, September 27th, 2007The Wolverines can’t possibly lose this game. Can they? Northwestern lost to Duke. A couple of things that I know. Michigan has consistently had trouble with Northwestern. For some reason the Wildcats play Michigan tough. Northwestern runs a version of the spread offense that gave Michigan fits against Appalachian State and Oregon. Thankfully Northwestern’s version [...]
Michigan drops fourth straight
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007624 of total offense for the Ducks, 7 points for Michigan, 2 losses at home, 4 losses in a row, and ultimately 1 person to blame… Lloyd Carr.
I have given him a long leash.
He hasn’t beat Ohio State in 3 years. That makes me cringe, but it’s not something that should cost him his [...]
Michigan loses to Appalachian State
Saturday, September 1st, 2007I quit. I just can’t take it anymore. Michigan losing at home to Appalachian State has pushed me over the edge.
I know that people will be calling for Lloyd Carr’s job for this one. I can’t make an argument against it. This is 3 straight losses. Two of them were big ones, Ohio State [...]
Which of my favorite teams would I want to win a championship?

Of all of my favorite teams (University of Michigan football, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears), which would I most want to win a championship. It has caused me great inner struggle. Which team would it be? [...]
