1 week 5 days ago	Why are you baffled?	I'm not sure why you're baffled. I am hoping Michigan wins these games. I want them to win these games. But hope and want are the key words. But these are preseason prognostications. Objectively: Why would anybody who's not a fan of the Wolverines think Michigan, the youngest team in country, would win all of those or most of those games? Because Harbaugh? Harbaugh, who hasn't beaten OSU yet (and yes I know about the refs last year, but, truthfully, 99% of the time only fans of teams who lost remember refs) ... who's 1-1 against MSU (although should be 2-0 ... I still haven't gotten over that damn punt block and not sure I ever will) ... who hasn't finished higher than third in the BIG East.  I think 2-2 (assuming Michigan wins all its other games) would be a great season for this team and lead to a lot of excitement in 2018. Anything better than that is gravy. Anything worse than that and we're all going to have to spend an entire offseason listening to the media and oposing fans talk about how Harbaugh and the Wolverines are always overhyped and overrated.  Then again, last year in the preseason nobody was picking Penn State. That prediction would have been crazy.
1 year 47 weeks ago	I was at the	I was at the Missouri-Nebraska kicked ball overtime game when the Michigan-penn state game was happening, and about every 10 minutes the Michigan score would pop up and I kept thinking it was a mistake. I think penn state was ranked no. 2 and Michigan 4 at the time. Nebraska was 1. I know because to this day I still can't believe Missouri choked that game away.

5 years 25 weeks ago	It's weird	I used to watch other schools recruit like this — Texas, USC and recently Alabama — and wonder why Michigan couldn't match their recruiting. Especially Texas, which basically is Michigan south (the two schools are very similar in how they view themselves and how others  view them). And, yes, I know Texas has an advantage by having a huge home state to pull recruits from. I just always wanted Michigan to recruit like the top schools do. Now, Hoke is doing exactly that.
5 years 26 weeks ago	Why one or other?	Anybody else getting sick of this one or the other crap?  They're both great. They've both done great jobs since they've taken over at Ohio State/Michigan. They've both done great jobs prior to their current jobs.  To argue over who's a better recruiter when both are consistently pulling in four/five stars is pretty stupid. To actually try and win that argument is even dumber. Especially since you really can't judge a recruiting class until the players have graduated and you're looking back at their accomplishments. I hope this continues and Hoke and Meyer make the next 10 years the second coming of the Big 2 and Little (insert correct # here). And here's to Michigan winning the majority of those matchups.  As for Meyer's national championships ... he won them. Of course, neither of those Florida teams managed to go undefeated.
