hmm,

Helmet numbers are the bright yellow now, and looks like the grey facemasks are here to stay.

That.

Is not a safe assumption.

 

As was discussed here: 

 

http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/not-100-sure-it-looks-next-years-helmets-are-keeping-numbers-grey-facemasks

"The gray facemasks were the practice set all year, and the helmets won't be reconditioned until after spring practice anyway, so they'll be using whatever is on hand.  Which means gray facemasks and numbers. "

Point taken.

Did the practice helmets always have hi-liter colored numbers on them?  I thought the old helmets had the oldschool maize numbers.  The sugar bowl helmets definitely had the oldschool maize, so if these are the same (which they might be, since they have the BCS stickers), then the numbers at least have definitely been redone since then.

* With the weather, it really _will_ be Spring practice for at least a few days.

* I agree with the above poster that Denard's throws looked pretty good.

* Is it just me, or is Gardner still shot-putting the ball a little bit? I saw only a single throw.

On an underneath route like that, a little shotput-ish motion isn't too bad. the jury remains out until we see a full throw.

I thought that video would serve as a welcome relief from the months of not seeing any live football. I was wrong. Like a smoker lighting his first cigarette in a long time, it did nothing but awaken the inner beast who demands MOAR FOOTBALL.

Damn you, MGoBlue.com. Damn you.

Thinkin' bout PRACTICE

Here is how old and out of touch I am (I'm 38, married, 2 kids, (I drive a DODGE STRATUS)).

This morning as I usually do on Saturdays at about 7am I'm out for a run and I'm passing through the UM practice field area.  The sun is just coming up and there is a fine mist coming off the railroad tracks and coming across the lacrosse field.   Of course I start thinking about the first football practice and wondering how it will go.  As I head north on State St. I notice lots of people out and about and some house parties.  "Huh" I think, "they must be stoked for the first practice cause I only see this on game days."

It wasn't till I got to Ashley's I realized it was St. Patrick's day.  A pointless holiday if you aren't Irish, an alcoholic, or if you are burdened by the twin drudgeries of work and family.

Really?

It's amazing on some folks on here can take a video that last 2.24 of 1st spring practice and make judgment calls-Hilarious some of you. Let them get through the spring and pads and start hitting and then maybe some assumptions can be made.  But you know what happens when you assume!  Chill Out folks

Just remember

After the Spring Game last year we lost 1/5 of the readership to hangings and other forms of suicide because of how ugly it was. And none of them lived to see 11-2.

no matter

No matter how bad we look, I will always love watching Michigan men in winged helmets.

Looks like all the weight gain or loss is positive, for the 133rd year in a row!

Why did he say "open

Why did he say "open practice" instead of "spring game"? I hope he just considers those to be interchangable. If the scrimmage portion is any shorter than last year then they might as well not even have an open day (from a watching football perspective. Getting money for Mott's is still worth it).

That one Denard throw was worlds better than any throws he made last spring that we were able to see. If he can get the "reading" mentality in the pocket to become second nature the offense will have unprecedented success. Everyone outside Alabama and Ohio State would be dead in the water trying to defend them, and even those guys would have some serious issues between Fitz, Denard taking off on the run, or Denard hitting open intermediate routes consistently.

Official First Spring Practice Data Extrapolations

I have reviewed ALL the data from the first spring practice, and I can categorically say that the following is absolutely true about team 133:

Ricky Barnum will have snapped at least one ball during practice.

Jordan Kovacs will have been interviewed at least once.

Vincent Smith will still be very small and very jacked.

All hail my awesome powers of data analysis!
