There has been a lot of talk about Rich Rodriguez’s statements about not being nostalgic about running out from the tunnel and touching the GO BLUE banner at midfield before the start of the team’s football games. I think what he likely meant was he wasn’t emotional about envisioning that scenario, a scene that […]

Offensive line: based on the limited number of plays shown I was surprised that they looked pretty good. This was an area of concern given the attrition that’s taken place but when they faced your typical fronts they seemed to provide good protection and some lanes in the […]
The latest story on the Michigan football team is that offensive lineman Justin Boren has decided the new coaching regime isn’t exactly what he signed up for; as a result he’s quit the team. He’ll stay at the university through the current semester and then will likely transfer if he’s interested in pursuing a […]
I haven’t experienced these types of schizophrenic emotional swirls in a Michigan football game very often over the past half dozen years. The game against Ohio State last season and the Rose Bowl game against Texas might have been the only times in six seasons prior to today. Of course, being a Lloyd […]
Holy shit. There was nothing since Lloyd Carr announced his retirement that would suggest Michigan was going to go out and try to hire one of the top coaches in college football. Michigan did the obvious and gave current coordinators Ron English and Mike DeBord cursory interviews. They also interviewed a solid […]
Based on what I’ve read from several news sources it looks like things could be progressing towards Rich Rodriguez becoming the University of Michigan’s next head football coach. Here are the two key pieces of information. The initial report from the Sporting News reported that Rodriguez was meeting with U of M president […]
With Les Miles confirming for the second [and hopefully final] time that he’s not a candidate for the University of Michigan coaching job, the collective mood of the Michigan fan base seems to be ranging anywhere from wistful to batshit crazy. Apparently there are a substantial number of people who still believe Miles will […]
I keep hearing absurd arguments for the old guard in regards to the Michigan head coaching job. The first thing I recall hearing when Mike DeBord left Central Michigan to become Michigan’s totally awesome special teams coach was that he quit the head coaching job because the Chippewa program didn’t have the commitment to […]
Detroit Tigers
After the Tigers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2006 World Series I thought they’d need to make a trade that would be the equivalent of the Red Wings trade that brought Brendan Shanahan to Detroit.
Going back to the Red Wings analogy, the team finally made it over the hump from contender […]
There continue to be mild rumblings that Michigan might still reach out to Les Miles to offer him the job opening, despite the fact Miles’ agent told Martin he has no interest in discussing the job opening with the University of Michigan. Martin has kept a low profile and hasn’t said much about the […]
