Brady Hoke: how warm is his seat getting?

By

With Michigan’s recent loss to Iowa, there have been talks about Brady Hoke and others on his staff being on the hot seat.

By

In October, who would have thought the Michigan Wolverines, or "Ypsilanti's Big Ten team" would be underdogs at Northwestern come mid-November? *This guy* I said then that UM was possibly the worst 5-0 team in the history of college football.

Big Ten football power rankings: lipstick on a pig edition

By

During Big Ten football Saturdays like this, how do you spin what happened? How do you put lipstick on these pigs? And even though Northwestern out-gained an AWFUL Western Michigan team by just 126 yards, they've still earned the second slot. You can argue that a different Big Ten football team deserves to be there. But my argument is pretty solid for NU. Also, Illinois gave … [Read more...] about Big Ten football power rankings: lipstick on a pig edition
