The Michigan Wolverines (8-0, 5-0) took to the road for the second time this season, hopping on a bus and making the 65-mile trek to East Lansing where they defeated the Michigan State Spartans (2-6, 0-5) by a totally expected score of 32-23. Michigan State drove the ball right down the field for a touchdown on their first possession, officially welcoming the Wolverines to life on the road. Michigan bounced…

First off, my apologies on the lateness of this week’s Michigan Monday. Road trips tend to push everything back a few hours and me having to watch Illinois football generally pushes it back a few more hours than that. I will try to give it my all, but I ended up watching the entire game and I think I may have damaged something. I was only going to watch a…

I foolishly thought I had seen everything when it came to B1G football, but Saturday was a new low. Rutgers (2-4, 0-3) had nearly 200 recruits on hand to witness the unrelenting devastation of a 78-0 loss to Michigan (6-0, 3-0). The Rutgers sideline looked like the aftermath of the Mount St. Helens eruption. Recruiting hosts and staff were laid one on top of the other like pummeled timber because…

The No. 4 Michigan Wolverines (5-0, 2-0) defeated the No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers (4-1, 1-1) 14-7 in Michigan Stadium on Saturday in a game that was never going to feature much scoring, but it could have featured more with slightly better quarterback play. This game was controlled by two iron-fisted defensive lines, but Michigan’s secondary proved to be the ultimate difference in this game, picking off three Badger passes and…

Well, what can you learn from something like this? Try analyzing Shaquille O’Neal posting up Mike from Accounting and see how much you can make of it. Michigan had the honor of playing Penn State on Saturday and they took that honor and crammed it down the Nittany Lions’ throats like the last bag of trash that you’re trying to get to fit into your garbage can. The Michigan defense…

Michigan improved to 3-0 on the season with a 45-28 win over previously undefeated Colorado. It wasn’t easy, however, as the Buffs led 21-7 in the first quarter and even had the ball at the Michigan 11-yard line with that lead early in the second quarter (which, by the way, is exactly when I tweeted “Michigan by 17”). But as programs that are accustomed to losing do, Colorado found a…

Michigan moved to 2-0 on the season thanks to an easy 51-14 win over a UCF team that thinks they know what they’re doing but doesn’t have the players to actually get it done. Michigan led 31-0 with 11:30 remaining in the second quarter, so please forgive me for only watching the first three quarters of this game. Don’t worry, though, I totally skimmed the box score play-by-play to see…

Michigan opened their season with a 63-3 win over Hawaii and in doing so made a statement to the nation that Hawaii should stop playing Big Ten teams on the road. Or at home. Or neutral sites. Michigan scored 49 points on offense and 14 on defense. Either would have been plenty; together it was just excessive. While Hawaii is not the kind of opponent with which to make a…

I have a feeling that I am going to contradict myself a little bit here, but I’m just not buying into the hype that the Michigan Wolverines are national title contenders in 2016. Every week there are new preseason rankings being put out by various media outlets, and all of them seem to have Michigan in or very near the top five. I get that and I understand that. It’s…
