For 3 1/2 quarters on Saturday, Michigan State had the answer for Michigan's explosive offense...keep them off the field as much as possible. Well, that might not have been their ultimate intention, but Michigan's inability to stop any sort of 3rd down situation in the first...
FNL: AA Pioneer @ Chelsea
Last Friday, I got my third opportunity to check out 2010 Michigan commit Ricardo Miller in person, as the Ann Arbor Pioneer Pioneers (we're from Pioneer!) traveled to Chelsea to take on Michigan State commit Nick Hill and the Chelsea Bulldogs. Ricardo Miller caught 4 passes for...

Dear ESPN,
I am writing to congratulate you of the amazing announcing work done by Mike Patrick and Craig James in last weekend's Michigan-Illinois game. Right from the start of the broadcast, I was happily welcomed with Mike's invitation "It's great to have you with...
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. It sounds like Dorrestein might miss the Purdue game, with Patrick Omameh his likely replacement at RG. Robinson did not play...

What else can we add to the resume of Rich Rodriguez? Recruiting and playing badboys Pacman Jones and Chris Henry — check. Recruiting a known drug dealer to play quarterback — check. Breaking NCAA practice rules? Check.

It can be argued that Michigan played pretty well in this game. It can also be argued that Michigan struggled in this game. It was really the tale of two halves. In the first half, we saw Michigan struggle to pull away early from an Eastern Michigan squad that ran the ball up the middle...
Graham’s Talk Might Be Incindiary, But He Can Back It

Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham caused a bit of a stir Monday when he showed up at a press conference Monday and didn’t pull any punches. Among the choicer quotes was this take on Justin Boren:
“It’s just somebody who shouldn’t have been here in the first...

We're crossing enemy lines this week with a Q&A session with Penn State blogger Mike from Zombie Nation. We decided to do this one home-and-home style with both of us fielding each others questions about this week's match up in Ann Arbor.

Firerrod.com-Michigan fans already fed up

It appears some Wolverine fans have already had enough with Mr. Rich Rodriguez because Firerrod.com is up and running just a handful of games into his first season.
And though the site lacks any real substance, I do find it hilarious that it was actually created well before UMs...
Upon Further Review: Defense vs Penn State
Personnel notes: As noted Monday, Michigan had an actual substitution package: on passing downs Williams would be replaced by Cissoko. For obvious reasons, that's unlikely to continue down the road. The rest of it was as usual, with the line rotating regularly and no one else coming...
Upon Further Review: Defense vs Eastern Michigan
Personnel notes: Michigan didn't change much at all from the Notre Dame game. Leach played basically the whole game for Mouton. Kovacs again got the fourth quarter when Mike Williams tweaked his ankle. Substitution on the DL continued as before. The only difference is that JB Fitzgerald...

Despite the poor play from his Wolverine teammates today, Sam McGuffie had his first breakout game as a college player. During the game, NBC showed one of his High School clips - for those of you who missed it, here it is... simply amazing:
Is Michigan recruit Sam McGuffie more fun to laugh at than Mike Hart (video)?

Before today I would have said there is no way any Michigan Wolverines player was more fun to poke fun at than the self-proclaimed "big brother", AKA RB Mike Hart. But after seeing the video below, I'm now convinced I'll enjoy Sam McGuffie's career just as much.

Picture Pages: Scrape Counterpunch
Last week in Picture Pages we saw one of Michigan's counters to the "scrape exchange" that Western ran constantly last game. Michigan ran a ton of bubble screens or "long handoff"* routes and gave Forcier another option after he decided to pull the ball out...

To say that Michigan looked bad in this game can be a bit of an overstatement. We did score 36 points. But we also made just about as many mistakes as you can make, and still somehow win the game. This can be attributed to the defense's ability to hold Indiana to 5 field goals...
Unverified Voracity Pulls Around
Programming note: the Martin news and AD search was clearly more important than slapping up half of the Delaware State UFR, so both halves will land tomorrow.
A couple AD clarifications. The thing about Dave Brandon politicizing the AD position was not meant to suggest a staunch anything...

So, ok. We lost to Iowa. It was a tough one. We made some pretty lousy mistakes, but in many ways, we looked remarkably better than we did a week before at MSU. We ran the ball better...without Carlos Brown I might add. We defended the run better. We defended the pass better. We moved...
