About seven weeks ago I posted a blog that stated Michigan "was back"...I was wrong...I have no problem admitting when I am wrong and this is one of those times...I am a loyal Michigan supporter, but the fact is, the Michigan football program has shown no improvement over last year's 3-9 debacle...I attended the Michigan-Penn State game and was totally disheartened by the poor defense and lack of offense...then after watching their performance against a 1-6 Illinois team who was 0-5 in the Big Ten, I am starting to wonder if Rich Rodriguez is the right man to lead the once proud and winning Michigan football program...As of today, October 31, 2009, the Michigan football program is just an average program...Michigan athletic director Bill Martin and president Mary Sue Coleman need to monitor this situation closely...look at what happened to Nebraska...the Cornhusker administration stayed loyal to Bill Callahan and now the Huskers are just a 6-6 or 7-5 team - at that...t...

It's Time to Step Up

Via Maize & Blue Nation  |  November 02, 2009
 In times like these, I like to ask myself, "What would Bo do?" It seems cliche to pick apart every minor detail of this Michigan football team right now. The internet, television, radio call in shows...have all been lit up with detractors and fans all questioning the heart and will of this team. The offense is young and over-matched. The defense looks lost. All...

Once the actual football talkin' began, there were a few tidbits. Injuries: There were no new ones coming out of Illinois, except Greg Banks has sprained his foot. Brandon Minor's injury is...

Directed Criticism

Via Motown Sports Revival  |  November 02, 2009
Rich Rodriguez has received a lot of criticism in his two years at Michigan. Almost none of it has been warranted. I can regurgitate the litany of ridiculous accusations and innuendos that have been unfairly tossed his way but I’ve documented them enough here that they should be pretty obvious by now. Rodriguez’s unspectacular 8-13 start at Michigan has been plagued by mitigating...
