| 1 year 27 weeks ago | Height? |
Okay, I am happy and all about the kid, but it does dampen my enthusiasm just a bit to see that the homecoming queen is taller than our new CB. |
| 1 year 28 weeks ago | Classic |
***James Rogers was out for most of the PSU game in favor of Talbott so we may see our long-held dream finally come to fruition: a secondary made up of nothing but true freshmen without a fourth star to any of their names.*** This is truly scary. |
| 1 year 37 weeks ago | 19 of 22 is more than a change up |
Denard's passing was awesome. The only reason we are not talking about it is because his running was even more awesome. But he was throwing darts out there today. The kid is a true talent. |
| 1 year 37 weeks ago | And Pat White was not backed up by Vince Young |
A bit OT here, but isn't that essentially what we have? Denard is the next Pat White and Gardner is the next Vince Young. The offense looked completely different today as compared to last year. |
| 1 year 37 weeks ago | Tate has a low ceiling |
I am not saying Tate will not play in the NFL (though I would be surprised), but the fact that he essentially has been playing QB full time since high school (home schooling) translates into a lower ceiling. Yes, he will improve, but his ceiling should be lower than that of either Denard or Gardner. |

| 1 year 37 weeks ago | Dreisbach |
Actually, Drieisbach lost his job to Griese (though Brady was there and thought he should have started). Dreisbach did handle it well, asking to play on special teams. I think I remember his getting applause for his last home game against Wisconsin when he was on for a kickoff. Also, though not drafted, he was on an NFL roster for a time, at which time there were six Michigan QBs in the NFL (Harbaugh, Brady, Griese, Grbac, Collins, and Dreisbach). |

Some random memories: 1. First game at the Big House, in the rain as a 1st year law student in 1989, watching Michigan dominate Notre Dame and still lose because of two kick off returns for touchdowns by The Rocket. I learned to love Michigan and hate Notre Dame the same day. 2. Sitting down low in the corner of the end zone two years later in what turned out to be the perfect seat: I got to see Desmond Howard stretch out to catch the pass from Grbac. Sweet revenge. 3. Learning the hard way at the Florida State game that the visitor tickets one can buy from a scalper look different from the home tickets. Sitting in the middle of the FSU fans doing the annoying tomahawk chop as we lost by 20 points was no fun. 4. Seeing Desond Howard strike The Pose. 5. 1994 Colorado. Ugh! At least I was not there. 6. 1995 Virginia: Dreisbach to Mercury Hayes. This was back when they had the Pigskin and Kickoff classics the week before the season, so this was the only game that day and I spent the entire day VCRing every highlight I could find, and there were a bunch of them. Wish I could find that tape (but I could not play it even if I could -- who has a VCR any more?) 6. 1996 Northwestern. I flew from Dallas to Chicago to see a 4-0 Michigan team lose to Northwestern on a last second field goal, back before Northwestern got somewhat decent. Actually, we lost twice. The first kick barely made it, Northwestern got a penalty and had to kick again. They made it -- again. 7. 1997. Too many wonderful memories to list, but . . . Win against Notre Dame, comeback against Iowa, seeing Woodson in person return the punt for a touchdown at The Game (jumped so much my glasses flew forward about four rows); the Rose Bowl. 8. Brabbs making a long field goal after a gift 12 men on the field penalty and after he had missed an easy, short kick earlier the same game. 9. 2006, right before the Ohio State game. Oh, life was so good. 10. Beating Florida for Lloyd's last game. Other than that, not a whole lot of fun since The Game in 2006. Hopefully, things turn around. GO BLUE!!!

| 1 year 37 weeks ago | Great post |
In three weeks, I will fly from Dallas to take my 7 year old son to see his first Michigan game. We will meet my friend from Chicago and his 7 year old son who will be attending his first Michigan game as well, the same friend who was with me at the 1998 Rose Bowl. I hope our sons remember their first Michigan game the way you remember yours. GO BLUE! |
| 2 years 26 weeks ago | That Video is Still Awesome |
Even after what happened this season, it is still an awesome video. Unfortunately, you could do pretty much the same video next year, except all of the color highlights will be from September and the black and white is everything after. The video also underscores the beast that is Minor when healthy. Too bad for Minor, the team, and the fans. I don't see how we pull it out tomorrow, but it sure would make the season if we did. |
