Michigan Wolverines vs. Michigan State Spartans, the battle for Great Lakes State supremacy. Basically, if you're a college football fan who lives in the Upper Midwest, and you don't have a boner (figuratively, not literally of course) for this game then.....you are a terrorist. There is no question about it, you're not with us, but with the terrorists. As relevant a … [Read more...] about #11 Michigan Wolverines vs. #23 Michigan State Spartans: Brutally Honest Game Preview

Michigan WR Junior Hemingway: A Movable Feast of Receiving Yards
Coming into the 2011 season, it was thought Roy Roundtree would be the go-to guy for the Michigan Wolverines receiving corps. After all, he broke the school record for single game receiving yards (246) versus the Illini last year and fell just 65 yards shy of a 1,000 yard season. But Roundtree only has 8 grabs for 127 yards on the season and it's senior Junior Hemingway … [Read more...] about Michigan WR Junior Hemingway: A Movable Feast of Receiving Yards
Michigan’s Denard Robinson: Overrated, Below Average Passer
Michigan Wolverines QB Denard Robinson is exciting and fun to watch. But he's not a "dual threat quarterback." That term is getting thrown around by the media way too liberally these days. Literally, it means a signal caller that can both pass and run effectively. But the way it's applied, it really means any QB who's a great runner. Technically, both Denard and Nebraska's … [Read more...] about Michigan’s Denard Robinson: Overrated, Below Average Passer

#11 Michigan Wolverines vs. Northwestern Wildcats: Brutally Honest Game Preview
If you ever needed any more evidence that Greg Robinson was in fact THE WORST Defensive Coordinator in college football history, look no further than what the Michigan Wolverines defense has done this year. They've only given up 10 whole points in their last three games, and the unit is more opportunistic and turnover-forcing (more on that here) Sure, this unit has their two … [Read more...] about #11 Michigan Wolverines vs. Northwestern Wildcats: Brutally Honest Game Preview

#22 Wolverines 28, SDSU Aztecs 7: The Michigan Difference
There was a Saturday like this last season in Big Ten football. Where no one in the conference played anybody at all. I think it may have been the same week- the one preceding the start of conference play, so everyone could fatten up with a won and get their confidence up for league play. Directional Michigan looked pretty bad in the morning games as the Central Michigan … [Read more...] about #22 Wolverines 28, SDSU Aztecs 7: The Michigan Difference

Wolverines, Illini Enter Top 25; Buckeyes, Spartans Drop Out
The Big Ten saw two teams drop out of the national polls this week; only to be replaced by two different teams. The Michigan Wolverines, who were on the cusp of the rankings last week, entered for the first time this college football season at #22. Fresh off their 31-3 pasting of their little sister Eastern Michigan from slightly down the road, the Wolverines will take on … [Read more...] about Wolverines, Illini Enter Top 25; Buckeyes, Spartans Drop Out
Notre Dame Fan Suffers Heart Attack, Michigan Fans Help Save his Life
Last Saturday's night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Michigan Wolverines was about as exciting a college football game as I've ever seen. I didn't have a rooting interest in it, so I didn't feel any emotion to it, other than the emotion of "wow, this is the coolest effing game, I've ever had a media pass for in my life." But for fans of both teams it was … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Fan Suffers Heart Attack, Michigan Fans Help Save his Life
