THE BOWL THING So the Big Ten had the worst bowl season of any BCS team in the BCS era. I’m sure we won’t hear anything about that from the national media. I kid. But seriously, I am consist...

I haven’t posted much this season, which is probably a good thing. But after reading and hearing some of the things that were said after the Toledo loss, I had to chime in with my two cents: Ev...

And I’m not just talking about the inevitable complaints that will result from seeing our new road uniforms in action for the first time, I’m talking about the frustration that will result fr...

Had to digest the game a bit longer than most, obviously. And it never helps that September is the busiest month at work. Great timing, huh? BULLETS: - It’s a bit disappointing to see how ma...

IS UTAH THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE SEASON? With mere HOURS to go before the season starts, all of the season previews and predictions are popping up. I'll leave that stuff to the big boys - ...

MY LAST COMCAST/BTN POST... EVER?! I saw these two articles regarding all overflow BTN games being available in Philly and various parts of Pennsylvania. These were the first “official” ov...

If true, this would be awesome (FOR PEOPLE IN DC, mind you). Yesterday I received an email from a higher-up PR person from Comcast’s East Coast regional office. This is a different person than ...

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE Did LSU schedule Appalachian State to “get back” at Michigan for the Les Miles fiasco? The game was announced in early February , and there wasn't much talk about it, ...

Most Comcast customers who follow Big Ten sports breathed a sigh of relief when it was finally announced that the nation's largest cable company would carry the Big Ten Network (BTN) this fall. B...

End winter hibernation... SPRING GAME STUFF I’m a bit disappointed that the Spring Game won’t be at Ford Field this year, but that shouldn’t end the conversation. In fact, this should jus...

Some are obvious, but worth noting... THE PAC-10 AND SEC WILL BENEFIT, THE BIG TEN AND OTHERS WILL NOT Let’s get this out there first, so maybe 17 years from now, the mainstream media will fi...

THE FIRST 5 WEEKS OF 2008 It's a mini-tradition of mine to look ahead at each team's upcoming schedule as soon as a season is in the books. Here are some of the non-conference games that caught ...

This is going to be all over the place, and a lot of it isn’t even about the game itself: BEFORE I GET STARTED… Raise your hand if you thought “here we go…” after Brandon Minor caugh...

As is often the case in these types of situations, I haven’t had enough time to let everything sink in. But it’s fair to say that I’m very excited. It’s somewhat odd that my last post was...

As I contemplated just how upset I would be if Kirk Ferentz ends up being Michigan's next head coach (right now, "extremely"), I had some thoughts about the team that has become my second-favorit...
I’m no good when it comes to nostalgia, but I definitely want to thank Lloyd Carr for everything that he’s done for Michigan Football. His successes both on and off the field have been, as he...

A few quick things after a long absence and before what should be a crazy weekend: - Prior to the Michigan-Georgetown basketball game tonight, the UMDC alumni association had John Beilein come s...

"No! To the pain…" As the season winds down, bowl projections and BCS selections move to the forefront of the discussion. Additionally, the “Les Miles to Michigan” buzz is slowly but sure...

After talking to some friends about the crazy ending that everybody has seen by now, I realized that many people aren’t aware of this: Millsaps (a.k.a. “the team that lost”) had a chance t...

The Man kept me down last week, which was disappointing on many levels, but mainly disappointing because I went to the Purdue game and had some extra random thoughts. But that’s old news. About...

MICHIGAN STUFF: - Some people have noted that Junior Hemingway looked much shorter than they imagined. If he’s 6’3” (like the official roster says he is), then I’m Andre the Giant. Ther...

OPTIMIST - The schedule is still in our favor. A pseudo-scrimmage against Eastern Michigan will allow both Henne and Mallett to get playing time, and our injury issues might be cleared up by the...

- Can you imagine losing to any team 9 times in a row? Our record against OSU recently is pretty bad, but 9 in a row?! Wow. And it would probably be 11 in a row if Michigan hadn’t missed two of...
