Michigan’s star DB Woolfolk suffers Serious Injury

By

Just this past week I had an extensive profile of star Michigan Wolverines defensive back Troy Woolfolk. It was an exclusive look at the mental/psychological battle that takes place between wide receiver and DB before every snap. Today, Woolfolk suffered an unfortunate turn of events. Details are sketchy but here's what was just released at 6:15 CT 8-17-10: … [Read more...] about Michigan’s star DB Woolfolk suffers Serious Injury

Michigan Wolverines’ Woolfolk and the psychology of pass defense

By

You've heard the "voice of God" in those old NFL Films clips. That ultra-deep, ludicrously over-dramatic and mortally serious narrating by the late, great John Facenda: for the Autumn wind is a Raider, pillaging just for fun. He'll knock you 'round and upside down. And laugh when he's conquered and won. My favorite Facenda prose describes the island duel between wide … [Read more...] about Michigan Wolverines’ Woolfolk and the psychology of pass defense

Stephen Schilling: Leader of the Michigan Wolverines Offense

(unless they win the Big Ten tournament of … [Read more...] about What Can Michigan’s DeShawn Sims be at the Next Level?

Michigan 1-0 in moral victories; defense still sucks

By

By H. Jose Bosch On Saturday I went into the game expecting the Spartans to win a shootout. By halftime I “knew” Michigan State would win by more than a field. And by the end of the game I found myself thinking, “Is Michigan State really that bad?” While I rooted for the Wolverines and wanted them to win, I never thought Michigan actually had a chance. And any rational … [Read more...] about Michigan 1-0 in moral victories; defense still sucks

All Hail! the mighty Wolverines … for now.

By

By H. Jose Bosch I went to Michigan bar in the middle of the desert or Scottsdale, Arizona depending on your perspective, to watch Michigan’s home opener. It was me, a friend and quite a few Michigan fans huddled around the many TVs throughout the top floor of the bar. The Syracuse-Minnesota crapfest had just ended on ESPN 2 and all of us were waiting in anticipation for … [Read more...] about All Hail! the mighty Wolverines … for now.
