My nipples are tingling!!!  Seriously, the team just looks faster all the way around, and the execution just looks smoother.  I'm not reading too much into fewer Tate clips, but I wouldn't count on Gardner's redshirt for certain. 

Fitz looks great, but my money's still on #2 to have a breakout year at RB (health willing).  Small stature, good speed, great cutting ability behind an improved line.  KICK THE FUCKING BALL, ALREADY.

I vote for Countdown to Kickoff to primarily comprise itself of awesome practice clips like this from now on.  I mean, fine, maybe one interview every week or something, but seriously. 

More. Practice. Clips. Please.

flying dreads and speed, all 3 qb's looked great! Fitz is a factor inside and outside, call me crazy but is Vince Smith or version of chris johnson he is bigger this year! And Kenny D will break legs this year!

Toussaint looks like the truth. Hopefully he can live up to his HS highlight tape this year. Ricardo Miller is huge and hopefully he can help this year as well.  Everything looks so much smoother than ever before on offense.

And I can't believe you chose to make a comment like that. If you don't want to glean info, why are you 1. watching the video, 2. posting here, 3. reading here! This is what we've done all summer!

People glean tweets, facebook statuses, SO running into people on campus, their haircuts, how much Denard looks like Desmond - and what that means for his touchdown totals. Why shouldn't we glean these clips? We're starved of football here, we haven't seen Michigan football since the spring game (except for a random picture taken in a Honda on State Street). we've got 22 (YES, ONLY 22) days until the season that we're all ridiculously excited for. We've had 109,901 threads on "Denard or Tate?" "Can we play defense?" "Is Martin the Hulk?" etc. over the course of this offseason, and now we have SOMETHING with which to substantiate our claims. 

Yes, it's still the offseason. Yes these are random tiny clips. But guess what? We're here to talk about them anyway! If nothing else this speculation and this taste of football can help us get to 9/4 that much faster. Random gleanings and speculation are what the offseason is for. Michigan football really only exists for about 36 total hours of game time. Thanks to this, It lasts 24/7/365

Hey. I'm gonna eat 'cha. I'm gonna eat that hairy leg. I'm gonna eat that other one, too. I can see right up in them shorts. Got lots of rows of teeth to chew you with. Dun-na, Dun-na, Dun-na. Oh, I did eat a fat kid on a raft earlier. That's OK though, I have been swimming a lot.

If that does not get you pumped for kick-off....nothing will.

I was a bit surprised at the amount of contact involved considering they are not in full pads.

 

Michigan 42.....UCONN 17.

Book it.
