By H. Jose Bosch No one can convince me that there is a better place in the world than Buffalo Wild Wings. Why? Plenty of solid beers to choose from; the wings, unlike Hooters, are actually good and the whole atmosphere of it all helps you forget that your college football team is actually as mediocre as you feared. I’m sorry, what? What was the third thing I wrote? … [Read more...] about Michigan and Rich Rodriguez have nothing but a bowl to play for

It’s not time to drink the Kool-Aid … yet
H. Jose Bosch How does one respond to Delaware State’s 63-6 undressing at the hands of the Wolverines? Happiness? Pity? Change the channel to watch a more interesting game? I didn’t have the third option because my father and brother were starved for the success Kool-Aid they drank after 4-0. In fact, to stick with the Kool-Aid analogy, this weekend’s game was the … [Read more...] about It’s not time to drink the Kool-Aid … yet
Someone tell Tate Forcier that he is, indeed, just a freshman
By H.

By H. Jose Bosch Drink a glass of water a day and it’s just a glass of water. Drink a glass of water after running a couple miles and it becomes the most important glass of water you’ve ever had in your life. The same concept applies to Michigan football.

All Hail! the mighty Wolverines … for now.
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.
