Denard Robinson for Heisman

Yesterday Michigan revealed their “throwback” uniforms for the September 10th contest against Notre Dame. I put “throwback” in quotes because Michigan never actually wore uniforms that looked like these. While the actual appearance of the uniforms has received mixed reviews, the hype behind them from Adidas et al has created a stir. The uniforms have [...]

The Detroit News reported recently that, according to online sports books, a bet on Denard to win this year’s Heisman Trophy is at 5:1 odds.  The only player to be more favored to win this year is Stanford’s Andrew Luck, who is at 3:1.

The end of the 2010 season was unpleasant, to say the least, for Michigan football fans. Decisive losses to Wisconsin and Ohio State capped off a tumultuous regular season for our Wolverines. Immediately following the atrocity that was the Gator Bowl against Mississippi State, it was clear that Michigan AD Dave Brandon was not going to keep [...]

Denard Robinson was announced today as the winner of the Chicago Tribune’s Silver Football, making him the Big Ten’s most valuable player in 2010. While the Heisman is not in the cards this year, it is a hugely important event to be recognized as the Big Ten’s MVP. The conference had its fair share of [...]

Denard Robinson has electrified college football and his Michigan teammates with an incredible beginning to the season.  National Player of the Week for the first two weeks of the college football season, Denard racked up 502 total yards while leading his team to victory against Notre Dame this past Saturday.  His stats are both eye-popping. [...]

You heard it here a lot sooner than you will hear it most places: Michigan football will win ten games this season.  We will qualify for a New Year’s Day bowl.  We will defeat a top 10 opponent at some point this season.  Most importantly,  we will once again set the bar of excellence back to the lofty heights where [...]

Michigan has the best offense in college football.  Both objectively and subjectively, the Wolverines have been transformed into an offensive threat that has never before been seen in Ann Arbor.  After two rebuilding seasons under Coach Rich Rodriguez, the team’s offensive firepower is finally starting to live up to the hype.  Opposing coaches from around [...]

Recently, a friend in California asked me to describe the difference between Michigan football and Michigan State football.  He asked: “Aren’t the two programs kinda the same?  I always thought they were pretty similar.”  To which I responded an emphatic “NO.”  Michigan football and Michigan State football are not the same, and in fact, not [...]

Michigan will face the Iowa Hawkeyes in Ann Arbor on Saturday in what is shaping up to be an incredibly important game for the Wolverines.  Both collectively for the Michigan football program and individually for a number of key people within it, winning the Iowa game is massively important. The Program Michigan needs this win [...]

Beating Illinois Never Felt So Good Michigan’s triple overtime 67-65 victory over Illinois on Saturday was thrilling, to say the least.  This was the highest scoring game in which Michigan has ever played.  Overcoming five (five?) turnovers and an injury to Denard Robinson in the third quarter, the Wolverines somehow found a way to win. [...]

So you may not have heard yet, but Wisconsin beat Indiana last week 83-20.  No, not in women’s basketball.  In football. In what has traditionally been a relatively classy program, Wisconsin chose to run up the score last week on the Hoosiers in a style that was uncharacteristically douchey.  These are not the days of [...]
