Horrible scheduling. You don't play an Alabama smash mouth team, then schedule a cut block team the next week.
As a program, Michigan was nowhere ready to play Alabama in a showcase game like that.
Why was that game scheduled?
I figured it was something like that. Has the department looked into rectifying some of these future games that were left over by the previous AD?
Was there any games that were requested to be canceled that you are able to comment on?
Thanks for the answering my questions.

Amazing how clueless the guy was in terms of PR.
Defense did well against a lot better teams throughout that season.
Gaming the schedule is an art that the previous AD knew nothing about. Just a horrible setup considering the previous week.
Also, the Alabama game should never have been scheduled in the first place.
Brandon played football for Bo Schembechler. How the hell did he know nothing about the game? I had really high hopes for that guy when he was hired. Nothing but one disappointment after another... Still pisses me off to think about it.
So thanks for reminding me, and happy Sunday, jerkface. (... /s)
(Edit: Yeah, I know the previous AD you meant was Ed Martin. But still...)

Brandon got virtually no actual game time in. He was basically a practice player, and just lettered his senior season.
Still, I agree that the experience of just being with the program for four years would have taught him something. His entire tenure was the antithesis of everything Bo was.

Air Force ran triple option I believe. Scary.

Another thing I remember is the pregame show. When the Michigan Marching Band plays the opposing team's fight song to honor them, the crowd traditionally boos. No big deal. But you can't boo Air Force. And when it came time, the crowd cheered...and I was a little relieved.
