I'm a bit surprised you haven't jumped on the opportunity to write "Utah Utes of Utah (We're from Utah!)."
This morning's slate of games is thoroughly un-entertaining. As Teddy KGB once said, "I feel so unsatisfied." Can 2:30 (CDT) just get here already?!

Don't worry about OSU though, they'll just "Reload." All jokes aside, if it's serious that is messed up for him and should significantly affect OSU's championship run.

I agree, I hope he gets drafted by the Lions--last year

I'm not so sure about us having "four top RBs." Those four have a combined total of like 600 career rushing yards.

I'm just really frustrated in that we can't stop any spread offenses. Every year it's the same stuff; shreaded by a spread offense with no effective plan. I thought bringing in Shafer would help solve the schematic problem, but it seems that our personnel flat out sucks in defending the spread. I'm just wondering if we will ever be able to defend a good spread team. Do we lack speed? Do we have poor fundamentals? What exactly is the problem? Why did we do better in 2nd half than 1st half defensive wise?

Or faster, anyway. More faith in their reads?
EDIT: Or jsut read what the coach said.

"Why did we do better in 2nd half than 1st half defensive wise?"
Because Michigan now makes second half adjustments - something that was never done under the previous regime.

i couldn't see shit from row 63 in the endzone, but the defense looked phenomenal in the the second half (and like shit the first). how'd they look on tv/close enough to see? also, how did the o-line look? couldn't quite tell who sucked and who was ok from where i was. basically i was too far away to see anything. can i get a quick (or long) recap please? i don't want to have to wait to read it in the papers/here tomorrow.
edit: also, was it just me or did they not throw anything over the middle, or get it to the receivers in stride? the o just looked like shit from top to bottom from where i was.

Well that sucked, but it was the first game. We have no offense. Crap. To anyone willing to answer, what is your assessment of the o-line? I thought it was more a matter of the QB and the RBs struggling, but I'm not the expert. I just wish that Carlos Brown would have played more, definitely at RB. I thought he was better than Minor last year, and he has speed and the moves.
The improvement by the D-line was spectacular, but the mistakes made in the 1st half and the beginning of the 2nd half were too big in the end, although that INT in the first half was the result of a bad decision. Brian Johnson is pretty good though.
Clemson doesn't have it. They will lose again and WF is going to win the And I called E Carolina or VTech. I am a fucking guru.

i called the ecu as well, and im picking them next week vs wvu, i have watched that program grow up before my eyes... and i am a huge wake forest guy, remember i was the leader of the jim grobe mafia....... its going to be nice to have ecu and wake dominate recruiting in nc for awhile, instead of ncstate or unc

Tim,
So f'ing right about Clemson. That performance against Alabama was so predictable. They're frauds every year.

TV called BG over Pitt last nite (can't remember who)...
Did anyone see that smug lil troll Holtz say he knew Michigan would lose and that they won't be that good this year? Like he was the only one in the world who had the inside info that UM was going to have a down year. No shit, Lou.

Rodriguez gets 1. A real quarterback and 2. An offensive line that doesn't resemble my first crush's gash they will never be a good football team.
I love the fact that we played so many young guys right away. This team will be great in the future... if and only IF we get a QB that can make plays (see Threet's throw on 4th down) and an O-Line that doesn't leak like a hooker on a period.
I puked after the third quarter.

JB,
Your post should take the place of the MGoBlue banner on the homepage until this offense has at least 100 rushing yards. Make it happen, Brian.

I suspect Rodriguez is a better coach than Carr, and Michigan will soon contend again for national championships.
Good luck to Michigan in every game except the one that counts.
August 31st, 2008 at 12:53 AM ^
It's not fair to knock the D's second-half success by saying that Utah was playing Lloydball. We had six sacks. The Utah coach wasn't exposing Brian Johnson to that many hits just for the hell of it. The switch to a three-man front seemed to make a big difference after halftime.
August 31st, 2008 at 8:48 AM ^
Please don't priase Zoltan anymore and please take his shirt off your site. His name does not deserve to be known by anyone other than his parents.
Maybe we should recruit an actual punter next year too...
GO BLUE!!!
