They say, it's always darkest right before it goes pitch black. For some Michigan fans, this is how they feel right now. I've been weighing in pretty heavily lately on the subject of the "state of Michigan football" as it were. Mainly because it's the hot topic right now and people seem to be gravitating towards it. But for reason's that I can not explain, I am in the typing mood lately. I have things on my mind and I have a blog to write them on.
I've been listening to a far more frequent amount of local talk radio this week than I usually do. Drive time radio, mainly in the afternoon in metro Detroit is especially depressing this week. Between the Lions, Wolverines and Spartans, all three teams were losers last week. That coupled with very little else to discuss this week, makes for really irate hosts and frustrated call-in guests. There seems to be nothing better to do than dial up a radio station and let loose all of your inner most thoughts about football and how it effect...

Minor Healthy? tOSU to Wear Old Unis at Michigan
• According to reports, Brandon Minor is about as healthy as he's been all season. We've been told for the last two weeks now that Minor's high ankle sprain is getting better and that he should be close to 100%.

So no video today. I will go back in an add it later, and I'll revisit the key points in a couple of Picture Pages posts.

Upon Further Review: Offense vs Illinois
Personnel notes: Odoms did not play and was replaced by Roundtree. Patrick Omameh got a series late in the first half, probably because Dorrestein was injured.

Thursday Quick Hits: No Suspension for Mark Ortmann
Mark Ortmann will not be suspended and has been cleared by the Big Ten to play on Saturday against Purdue. All I can say is that I’m glad there were no good replays of whatever happened, because Corey Liguet didn’t just start running funny on his own. It’s good that Michigan will have its starting [...]
