Overall the O-line was good, but Schofield filling in at left guard missed a few key blocks. The one in particular that was blatant was when Denard scrambled for a first down because he had a d-lineman in his face before he even had a chance to view the field (I believe it was in the 2nd quarter). Let's hope it was just a mental thing that can be corrected.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.

Hey, it's cool.
Hey, it's cool.
My parents would tell you I was injured/sick if I was suspended and didn't want people to know about it too
I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.

though presumably on the front page - woolfolk was a minor sprain of his non-injured ankle and 'could have gone in if he needed to'

Thanks for clearly that up for me. For some reason, the Forum title "Barnum was not suspended" and OP content saying that he was not suspended left me confused as to whether or not he had been suspended.

In Hoke's post-game presser, I think someone asked him about Barnum (although I couldn't hear the question.
Hoke responded by saying we didn't dress him, and nothing further.
Not sure that means anything, but its interesting with all the misinformation out there on a relativley minor situation.

I don't think anybody asked him (Hoke) about any player specifically. He was asked about suspended players in general. That's when he gave the response about suspended players not dressing.

Got that...they took it a step further in turning "missing the game for a team matter" into "suspended for breaking team rules".
I realize it might be sematics but they must have enough of a staff that they can be more precise than that

Missing the game for a team
Missing the game for a team
Missing the game for a team matter is the same as being suspended for breaking team rules. Unless you can think of a single team matter other than a suspension that would include not dressing for a home game. If Barnum wasn't really suspended, the miscommunication started with the Athletic Department/SID it isn't the announcer's fault. They did plenty of other dumb shit that deserves critisism. This isn't one of them.

I didn't say he was or he
I didn't say he was or he
I didn't say he was or he wasn't. They should just be more careful in repeating what was said, not their interpretation, unless they make the distinction clear, which they did not. It's sloppy reporting, and indicative of a generally sloppy standard of preparation. The fact you accept that as normal is indicative of how standards have been lowered across the board in media "reporting".
If the AD was obviously careful enough to state it a certain way they owe it to their viewers to do the same.

That could be read to say
That could be read to say
That could be read to say Gordan was out for injury, Hopkins out for team matter and Barnum and Evans out for unspecified reasons. That is the parenthetical "team matter" after Hopkins may only apply to Hopkins. Similarly, maybe what came from the SID was vague or open to misintrepretation.

During Touissants big run Patrick called him Shaw. After the camera clearly showed it to be Touissant he still called him Shaw. James then correctly identified it as Touissant.

According to mgoblue player participation, the following true freshmen saw action:
Obviously, Beyer saw action on defense at SLB.
Wile, Clark, Countess, and Brown played special teams. Only five redshirts burned (barring injury) - though maybe more would've gotten in had play resumed.

*** ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Michigan coach Brady Hoke has decided
not to allow starting offensive guard Ricky Barnum to be in uniform
for the opener.
The school said Barnum, backup running back Stephen Hopkins and
reserve linebacker Marell Evans would not play Saturday against
Western Michigan because of a team matter.
Starting linebacker Cam Gordon wasn't expected to play because
of a back injury. ***

Hmm. Our O-Line seemed to do well in his absence, but it would certainly be nice to have him back for the ND game.
COYS and lets go Detroit FC!
