Congrats

Congrats to Harbaugh, Miles and Kelly who all had big, big wins on Saturday.

Hopefully one of these men will be UM's head coach next season.

I'm amazed that Harbaugh can beat USC with a rather pathetic Cardinal team and every time UM plays USC in the Rose Bowl we get blown out.
Our coaching staff needs to get with the times, the game is all about matchups and attacking your opponents weakness. Our coach staff does not believe in this however.

Purdue looked awful against the Bucks, how will they look against UM? The coaches need to watch tape of the OSU game asnd study why they won and craft a similar game plan. Will they do it, HIGHLY doubtful, but as we have seen throughout this college football season anything can happen.

GO BLUE, pleas beat Purdue.

And on a completly unrelated note - Karl Dorell you are done dude, that EMU and his 87 yards passing put the nail in your coffin. Here's a tought - you are on a third string QB in a tie ball game - RUN the football.

Update!

First of oregon fans just like your team and your coach you have no class.

Next off, Portland should have taken kevin durant, think they are regretting taking the 40 year old rookie instead?

Next up, the Buster Bowl pitting ND against UM. I'm gonna say this right now the loser does not make a bowl game. Winner salvages some pride but whats on the line is being remembered as the loser in this clash of the anti-titans.

Notre Dame has no Offense, Michigan has no offense, typically a great D beats a great O, but does a shit D trump a shit O or vice versa.

I don't know how this game is gonna play out but it is gonna be painful to watch for fans of both teams.

My prediction is that mike hart leads UM to 13-10 victory.

UM needs to win if not Clausen and the robot genius will get slurped by ESPN more so than usual and no one should be forced to deal with that.

As for other games - I'm picking USC over the huskers, UW over the Buckeyes, noles over buffs and the gators over the vols.

And I'm not sure who oregon is playing but I hope they lose.

time for some michigan football coverage

Here is my super early michigan season preview: (part 1 of ?)


Michigan (probable regular season record somewhere between 1o-2 and 12-0)

OFFENSE:

arguably one of the top 3 offenses in the country. with mike hart, chad henne, jake long, mario manningham the wolverines have one of the country's top RB, QB, LT, and WR.

Looking at the various positions:

WR:
Mannigham is a stud, a legit #1 receiver. Hopefully adrian arrington will be available if not greg matthews must step up. If arrington is back on the team UM has a solid wr trio, and talent recruits coming in. Latrell Savoy has been a bit of a mystery, apparently he looks good on the practice field, yet cannot get any worthwhile playing time. If indeed arrington returns (i think he will) this receiving core should be tops in the big ten, and one of the best in the country.

Questions about the WRs - will arrington be back on the team, will savoy get to play, will manningham be able to rival his performance of early 2006, and will the freshmen earn any playing time, will antonio bass ever be able to play again and will debord and carr throw the ball since we have a vetern qb and solid wrs?

Probable starters at WR - Mario Mannigham and Adrian Arrington (Greg Matthews if A.A. is not back on the team).

Losses from 2006- Steve Breaston (graduated), Carl Tabb (graduated), Doug Dutch (moved to CB)

Incoming players: Zion Babb, Toney Clemons, Junior Hemingway

Preview of upcoming previews:

TE is a position of concern and mike massey needs to show he can stay healthy, because he is really the only TE on the team with any experience.

the O-Line is solid with long and kraus anchoring the left side. schilling and boren must step up for the line to be at its best.

I thought this was a michigan blog?

well rest easy loyal readers, it is a michigan blog, there is just such a lack of um football news at the time that it is very hard to find new and intersting um football news to talk about. granted some um players have tried to make news by fighting on st paddys day, getting pulled over, etc. however it is not my place to comment on these kind of issues so i prefer to stay out of them.

but as soon as september nears believe me the content will be much more um related, but until then enjoy some nfl coverage, and what ever else random coverage i decide to talk about.
