Henri says post away
Well, I finally broke: I've checked out emotionally. This happened last year, too, and the game columns from the on were pleas for something else to do and grim, brief recaps of the latest indignity...

Michigan 97, Northern Michigan 50
Michigan (1-0, 0-0 Big Ten)
When a college basketball player scores a triple-double, it's likely his team had a pretty good game. When he does it after 29 minutes of play, and is able to take to the bench for significant garbage time, it's guaranteed. Manny Harris did just...
Free Speech Repealed Until Monday (Again)
Henri the Otter of Ennui is the new mascot of posting restrictions.
Post-Illinois restrictions back: 20 to comment, 500 to start new threads/diaries. Will be in effect until Monday morning.
Justification I probably don't need to provide: seriously dislike new registrants who...

Everyone, please! Stay off my side!
ex-Wonk disagrees with Rosenberg agreeing with him about one-and-done. This made me feel better about the practice time thing. The power of Wonk.

Spread Run Game Nuances
[Editor's note: bumped. My favorite point in this is the reason you run the Illinois-style veer where the running back heads outside and the QB goes upfield is that you can run it with the same QB-RB position you run the stretch from.]There seems to be some confusion/questions...

MGoPodcast 1.12: The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow
We've got a guest this time! Woo! It's Adam Hoge from Bucky's Fifth Quarter, the SBNation Wisconsin blog—and only extant one, it appears. Unfortunately, logistical issues—read "sleep schedule of a 70-year-old"—prevented regular guest Jamiemac from making...
Upon Further Review: Offense vs Purdue
Personnel notes: Omameh played the whole game at right guard; Huyge played the whole game at RT. Roundtree was the only slot the whole day. Brown saw about four plays late; he was replaced by Grady, Shaw, and Smith.
Formation notes: A lot more two-back sets without a tight end against...
Basketball Non-Conference Preview
With basketball season fast approaching, let's take a look at Michigan's non-conference schedule, and see what the Wolverines are up against this winter. A more thorough rundown of Saturday's opponent may be coming later this week, but it's pretty difficult to find...
Unverified Voracity Has Tire Tracks On Forehead
Let's get Denarded. Since it will be on the message board forever and ever amen and discussed until the weekend: e-reports say that Tate Forcier's facebook status yesterday was about having a bad day and somewhere in the comment thread spawned by that—probably made band fiasco...

Yeah… so the site was a little goofy for a while. Why did this happen? I don't know. I put up Tim's press conference recap and then did nothing. I come back and I've got 30 panicked emails. Drupal is very sorry about that.
I did bad.

Wednesday Presser Notes 11-11-09
Injuries:
Brandon Minor practiced a little bit yesterday, and they're hoping he can go today. Minor is day-to-day with a shoulder injury from the Purdue game. Playing can't do any more damage, but he needs to get practice reps in order to see the field Saturday.

Upon Further Review: Defense vs Purdue
Personnel notes: Leach started the game and got pulled after he busted an assignment on a third-and-five TE cross that turned into 56 yards and a backbreaking touchdown. Ezeh replaced him for the remainder of the game. Mouton started the game and got pulled after he busted an assignment...

Picture Pages: Zone Read Veer
This is belated, but still relevant since I just saw Michigan run this play with Denard Robinson as the tailback in the Purdue game. This is a staple of the Illinois offense but it's something Michigan hasn't run yet in the Rodriguez era. I assume Michigan decided that the...
