MLive Article-UM not paying attention to hype
What grabbed me about this article was the picture. What does MLive choose to represent UM? A picture of two backup tight ends running wild through Florida.
It's a beautiful thing.
Edit: I'm an idiot.
I'll read the article now.
"We're tighter, cleaner," Bunting said. "We had a year to practice everything. Second year with the same program you just keep building from where you left off and where we left off is now the new benchmark to build off of."
I like that approach and it seems like it is less popular in football that it should be, the attitude that last year is merely the current year's baseline and your goal is to make the following year's baseline just that much higher. It's difficult to maintain because of players coming into and going out of the program, learning curves, and so forth, but if you can manage something like, there's very little you cannot do as a program, I would think.
I was hoping that article would be longer than 1 page. GD, work is boring today.
plant is empty, no customers are placing orders. everyone is on vacation except the full timers

Harbaugh has done a great job of teaching his players what to say and what not to say in the media. His mantra of constant improvement has permeated the team. Besides, nobody on the team is going to be allowed to be satisfied with a year in which they lost to both Sparty and OSU.
Harbaugh's best strength may be his ability to inspire favorites to work like underdogs.
I agree with your message, but it's hard to picture many non-UM homers to pick UM as a favorite in The Game, especially when it's in Columbus and we haven't won there in what, 13 years?
I see OSU losing to Oklahoma and maybe UM, but that's about it. They're still win 10 games in the regular season. They don't play Iowa and I don't see PSU, Nebraska, or MSU beating them.
If any of you want to think this article ahows we are better than other teams, take off the rose colored glasses. I cant imagine an RR ot BH player would hVe said anything different. (Not that we were ever 7-1 odds under those regimes.)

Offseason :(
Stock, cookie cutter, article fluff. The season can't get here soon enough.
