Despite a winning record losing to Ohio State today in embarrassing fashion feels like the nadir of my Michigan fandom. In many ways today wasn’t necessarily about winning. Let’s face it, in every conceivable category Ohio State is a better football team than Michigan and everyone expected them to win. Seven wins and a bowl [...]
Trying to get pumped up for Ohio State Michigan isn’t easy these days. I offer the video below to help out [language warning]:
Michael Zuidema of The Grand Rapids Press about sums it up: Against Wisconsin, Michigan essentially followed the same script that’s resulted in its current 1-6 stretch. A couple of sparkling defensive plays, followed by a second half filled with miscues and missed assignments. When the spread offense looks like it’s starting to click, it stalls [...]
In a post echoing Peter Bigelow’s argument that Michigan needed polish and poise I had this to say: Illinois is the next yardstick. If we can’t beat up on the worst team in the league like everyone else then 1) the hole from last years “the horror” is deeper than I had thought and 2) [...]
I have to agree with this Peter Bigelow article on what the Michigan football teams needs to show the rest of the season: They’re not Penn State yet, and that’s fine. No one expects them to be playing at that level halfway through Rodriguez’s second year of a big-time rebuilding project. But it’s fair to [...]
Well, ain’t that a poke in the eye?!?!? Man, did that suck or what? The Michigan Wolverines first drive was great. From that point on they displayed the polar opposite of what I said they needed. Turnovers, dropped passes, critical penalties, bad decisions, just about everything you expect from an undisciplined team not ready to [...]
A little trip down memory lane in anticipation of today’s Penn State Michigan game. Great stuff from two guys playing on Sundays now. Can Forcier/Robinson pull off another great win? [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofg5EiHxaX8&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]
Image by RichKD via Flickr One of the things I thought I was going to post about regularly on the blog was Michigan Football. After last year’s debacle, things have improved dramatically. Sure, there is still a lot of work to do before UM can really compete for the Big Ten title or national title. [...]
I think this video express things perfectly [language warning]: [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZl35RAxerQ]
Brian from MGoBlog on last night’s game: The presentation was such a disaster that a lot of people have been complaining about how bad the game was when, really, it wasn’t too bad. Julio Iglesias was nearly decapitated, and there was a critical fourth-down stand and a couple of miraculous interceptions and all in all [...]
