It’s Great To Be a Michigan Wolverine

7 November 2007

Being an alumnus of the University of Michigan has its advantages, if you consider everyone telling you what a great school you went to and not being prepared for the real world advantages.
However, there is still the football.  And every year that they don’t lose to a 1-AA team at home, you can smugly rub [...]

Is Mike Hart “The A-Rod of College Football”?

14 October 2007

In an article for Sunday’s Detroit Free Press, Drew Sharp calls Mike Hart “the A-Rod of College Football.”
Could there be a worse analogy?
First, Alex Rodriguez is a player known for his natural ability. If you had to design a baseball player, he would be built to A-Rod’s specifications. He has been destined for [...]

Michigan 14 - (10) Penn St. 9
Even with Michigan’s horrific start, Mike Hart is still on the Heisman radar, and deservedly so.  The senior was by far the best player on the field and willed the Wolverines to victory.  The next person to make a pun about him having a lot of [...]

Michigan 38 - Notre Dame 0
Michigan was playing badly, Notre Dame is just plain bad.  They were thoroughly destroyed in every aspect of the game.  Their offensive line was non-existent.  It doesn’t get any easier for the Irish either.  With Michigan State, Purdue, UCLA, Boston College, and USC coming up on the schedule, an 0-8 [...]

Domination

16 September 2007

Congratulations fellow Wolverines!  We can now show our faces in public again.
There is nothing to re-energize a dejected fan-base like a win against Notre Dame, particularly when you unquestionably dominate them in every facet of the game for 60 minutes of pure unadulterated beat down.   The win provided a much needed catharsis for the players, [...]

Michigan Doubtful With a Pulled Henne?

10 September 2007

Michigan has announced that senior QB Chad Henne will definitely miss the Notre Dame game next weekend, after suffering an unspecified lower-leg injury against Oregon. He has been listed by the Wolverines as “week to week,” which, given Michigan’s usual transparency about injuries, could mean he has a mild-sprain or could mean that his [...]

Oregon 39 - Michigan 7
Michigan proved a point this weekend, that last week was no fluke.  The 32-point loss to Oregon was the worst loss Michigan has suffered since 1968.  Their defense, despite Ron English’s pledge that they would play better, allowed an astonishing 624 total yards.  Turning the ball over four times as well [...]
