Enemy Spring Game Highlights
Edit: Added ND's Blue-Gold Game and BTN highlights from other assorted teams that we hate. MGoVideo will probably have torrents of OSU, MSU, PSU. So far, there's a TYT release of the Wisconsin spring game:

I wonder what the redneck rocker would say about the pink numbers.

Not with our current defense
April 24th, 2010 at 10:51 PM ^
Time for one of those patented Rich Rod WVU 58-55 shootouts he used to have!
April 24th, 2010 at 10:53 PM ^
Well I should point out that IF the offense (be it under Robinson or Forcier) can explode in that game, we can certainly beat them. I just don't see that happening in Columbus
April 24th, 2010 at 11:17 PM ^
You'll feel better about our defense after you watch the ND highlights.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:25 PM ^
Haha you're right... Wow, could be a long year for Irish fans
By "Irish" do you mean the collegiate team or the MGoBlogger? Because it could be a long year for fans of both.

So you're that guy in the section about 10 rows back yells at the 18 year olds and all the coaches. Take a seat ass clown.
Whoops! Sorry for being honest about this upcoming year. Take off your maize colored glasses bud, I love U-M but they're nowhere near OSU , esp on D
April 24th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
Poor attempt to beat the "All In For Michigan, All In For Mott" thing we had going.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:22 PM ^
30,000 less than last year but they still had 65,000 in the 'shoe on a rainy day.
When you have over a million people in the metro area, 65,000 in attendance is not a lot. If TUOOS had a 250,000 seat stadium they would be able to sell out most home Big Ten games. I order my employee tickets just to sell them each year. I usually make enough from one or two games to pay for the pair for the season. People are despirate for TUOOS tickets in Columbus. Columbus has nothing: no pro football, baseball or anything else other than a piss-poor hockey franchise. TUOOS sports is all there is...

are they down in OSU- they let their defense tackle/sack their Quarterbacks in F***ing Spring Ball!!!! One can only hope #2 in scarlet and gray takes on of those hits just in the right spot...
April 24th, 2010 at 10:51 PM ^
Rich Rod allowed the same this spring, just not in the spring game...
April 24th, 2010 at 10:57 PM ^
OSU Highlights is an oxymoron
April 24th, 2010 at 11:28 PM ^
They look really slow, definitely a spread offense with pro-style players. Long year ahead for the Irish, although those games against the service academies should help out a little.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
Except for the fact that twice in the last three years the Navy has rolled into South Bend & topped the Irish. :)
April 24th, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
Has Crist had the fastest recovery from an acl tear ever?
April 24th, 2010 at 11:43 PM ^
Yeah, because according to SI and everyone in the media except the great Colin Cowherd (yeah, I said great) thinks he's OMG amazing and he's "waking up the echoes" or something retarded like that. 5-7 at best this year.
He isn't 100% right but he was strong enough to be full go in the spring with no contact. His footwork is messy and I don't think he ever rolled out of the pocket or threw on the run which are all things he has done in the past.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:50 PM ^
Cierre Wood and Jonas Gray did look solid for ND
April 25th, 2010 at 12:01 AM ^
Yeah, but that defense isn't exactly lights-out, either. The tackling was pretty atrocious, and I don't think they'll fare too well trying to take down Denard in the open field. I could see the grounds crew growing that Kentucky Bluegrass out like a damn jungle to try and slow down our speed.
April 25th, 2010 at 12:03 AM ^
jonas gray- detroit country day's finest! im looking for JG25 to have a big year for the irish.
im certainly not
I'm looking forward to watching Kenny Demens bury him into the turf and showing him who is actually Country Day's finest.
April 25th, 2010 at 12:22 AM ^
there should be no way UM could lose the following games
ND has no defense, hopefully it will stay that way, a new qb in a non-traditional system;
ILL - no qb, disorganized with new coordinators;
purdue - no qb, no RB;
PSu - no QB, still shifting OL, ok defense and RB but that is it
April 25th, 2010 at 12:33 AM ^
but considering the sparty D gave up almost 500 passing yards, their secondary will be atrocious
http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/24/cousins-leads-spart…
an IMPROVEMENT over the 2009 MSU spring game when the QB's passed for more than 700 yards.
34-24 UofM this year over Sparty. Book it!
April 25th, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
No one really looked too outstanding, although it is just spring ball. I think the Big Ten could be a relatively wide open race this year, with OSU seeming to be the obvious favorite. PSU is going to have to recover from the straight-up beat down it's going to get from the Tide early on, for a young team that might be kind of tough to do. Other than that, Notre Dame seems like they're running in a field of syrup compared to the other teams; I thought MSU looked especially fast and spry.
I think we can take the Irish, win a shootout with MSU, and I would feel good-ish about PSU if it wasn't in Happy Valley.
thanks, nice thread
If you come across a full ND stream or torrent let me know, I haven't come across one yet
Rich Rod will have this team ready for every single game. New athletic director, mad fan base and an ego bigger then most coaches. He has to win he knows this, his staff knows this. Another poor season and his future at Michigan is probably over. His future as a coach in a BCS conference will probably be over. As big of a year this is for Michigan this is the year is even bigger for the coach.
Mark it down. Go Blue!!!
I don't think a successful season for Michigan would be much of a surprise to most people who follow football.
RR has HIS recruits at key positions now and he'll have good, non-freshman options at QB for the first time since he got here.
is a A.J. Soprano clone.

Vanilla defense tends to look, well errr Vanilla. Especially in spring games.
Notre Dame's offense looks like they are executing pretty well.
And Sparty's defense looks worse than ours did last year.
A. Sparty's offense looks pretty nasty; Very shifty. At the same time, their tackling is hilarious.
B. Notre Dame looks like they're trying to play two handed touch with those attempts at tackling.
C. This is Spring ball so it means nothing.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:00 PM ^
will be average at best this year. I really think Purdue can be a darkhorse in the B10 this year
April 25th, 2010 at 11:05 PM ^
I think they could be the biggest surprise this year in the big ten, though losing that RB is going to hurt quite a bit.
