The No. 12 Michigan Wolverines (5-1, 3-0) remained undefeated in Big Ten play with a 42-21 win over Maryland. The Terps move to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the conference, not that anybody cares. The game would seem to end the age-old debate on who is better — Michigan or Texas. The Terps actually led 7-3 early in this…
Just a note for future reference, when the Buckeyes are playing on the road like they did this past weekend at Penn State, I’m going to have a very difficult time getting Michigan Monday out on a Monday. However, I also reserve the right to have a very difficult time getting Michigan Monday out on a Monday following a bye week.
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…
Late last week, word came down from on high that Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson would be eligible this coming season for the Wolverines. The decision by the NCAA could immediately make Michigan a national title contender. Patterson, a true sophomore last season, transferred from Ole Miss in the…
We are a little over two weeks away from the second and final signing day of the 2018 recruiting cycle, and as you might expect, Ohio State and Michigan are right at the top of the Big Ten standings in recruiting rankings. Well, that’s not entirely true. The Buckeyes are at the top and the Wolverines are No. 3 behind Penn State.
It. Is. Time! Those are the three words that Ohio State strength coach Mickey Marotti will yell in the locker room before the Buckeyes take the field at Michigan Stadium this Saturday. He will likely be using more exclamation points than I did. Before the Buckeyes get to Ann Arbor, however, things will change around the football…
It was another big division win this weekend for Michigan (8-2, 5-2) over Maryland (4-6, 2-5) as the Wolverines took it to the Terps 35-10. Michigan led 28-0 midway through the second quarter and coasted from there like the world’s most determined conserver of gasoline. The Wolverines were actually outgained in this one…
