I believe Scott Frost is going to be very successful at Nebraska, but the Huskers are a far cry from being able to compete with Michigan at any position group in year one. The Wolverines (3-1, 1-0) hammered Nebraska 56-10, and were leading 46-0 when I finally stopped watching. The Huskers are still a couplefew years…
Sorry for the delay on this week’s Michigan Monday. Traveling back from Dallas on Sunday and then having Urban Meyer’s return on Monday kept me from getting this done in a timely manner. The fact that Michigan was only playing SMU played into it a little bit as well, but don’t tell anyone. The Wolverines vanquished…
After a season-opening loss to Notre Dame in week one, Michigan football bounced back this past Saturday with a 49-3 win over in-state foe Western Michigan. In just 53 plays on offense, the Wolverines produced 451 yards of total offense (8.5 yards per play). It was an efficient afternoon that needed to happen against…
I don’t know what the five stages of grief are for Michigan fans, but I imagine after this last dozen years or so, at least the first two stages are pure numbness. After watching Michigan’s 24-17 loss at Notre Dame on Saturday, the third stage is probably disbelief that nothing has changed, followed by a fourth stage of…
We are very close to the start of the college football season, which means the anticipation is only growing in size. Because I have as much access to the Michigan football program as I do the Ohio State football program right now, I thought we’d go ahead and start a week’s worth of anticipatory pieces like this by looking…
There are certain things I believe every Ohio State fan can come to expect during any football season. For example, THE GAME has been played as the last game of the regular season between Ohio State and “That Team Up North”, the Michigan Wolverines, every season since 1935. Kickoff has moved from network to…
The difficult thing about having a series that runs for 100 days in a row is coming up with 100 different intros. Fortunately, since Tom Orr and I are doing this thing together, that only means 50 intros a piece. And I’m pretty sure I can get away with running the same intro twice, which cuts my total number of intros down to 25…
I’ve mentioned it before, I like predicting stuff. It’s fun. Hit on a couple of guesses, ignore those that you whiffed on, and you’re feeling like a million bucks. We’re now in the dog days of summer, with nothing left but baseball to save us from absolute sports boredom. For me, that’s just not enough, and my brain is…
The Ohio State football coaching staff can draw upon a number of aspects when it comes to recruiting players. There’s the winning, which helps. The facilities, which don’t hurt. Life after football is a popular topic, as is a possible NFL life after OSU football. Playing for some of the best coaches in the nation has been…
