There will probably be a 4 way battle this summer. Orji, Warren, Tuttle, and a portal transfer. May the best QB win. If it is not Orji as starter, he will be used a lot through the year. We probably need 3 who could start if needed this season.
The offense looked better than I expected. Usually in spring games the D dominates. Warren and Orji looked good. Tuttle and possibly a portal QB will be in the mix summer.
Denegal does have a slow release. He did not have a good passing game Today. Denegal seem to be a better player last spring game. If Orgi can get more accurate on his 10 to 20 yards throws, he will have a good season.
Looks like QB battle early will be Orji vs Warren. Though when Tuttle comes back he will make a run this summer. I still think if there is a good QB in the portal, Michigan should grab him.
There must be a good QB on a .500 that is a good passer. We will need a QB who has an accurate arm and who is healthy. Hopefully, we can get one in the next month. Also, there may be a few good WR who would like to play on a team with a good chance of making the playoffs.
Henne was probably the best pure passer to play for Michigan. He did not do as well in the NFL that I thought he would after being drafted. He became the starter at Miami but hut that team was a mess. I thought Henne was going to have a greater NFL career.
His only slight flaw may be 50 + yard inaccuracy at times. But this could be partly fault of our WR. Put JJ with OSU WRs, I think you would see a lot more deep passing yards.
PSU seem to be on a lot of top talent for not doing much on the field for the past decade. The probably have a good NIL program much like OSU. I think M will eventually have to go down the NIL road for top recruits. So far we are building up 3 and 4 stars to perform like 5 stars.
I drove to west of Little Rock, AR. It was great but did not get as dark as the 2017 eclipse. I had to endure a 3 hour traffic jam westbound on I-40 in western AR.
It would be great to have Moore back in time as the season ends. We will beat OSU in Columbus and Moore will help us beat them a 2nd time in the B1G championship game, and then a 3rd time in the playoffs.
I'm more worried about the QB. It sounds like none cannot throw well and the only one who can is suffering through some sort of injury. Without a QB to throw the ball well, we will be a one trick pony offense that will try to run the ball but the better Ds in the B1G can stop a running game. I think if a good QB is available in the portal, we should grab him. If we had another Jake Ruddock come through the portal, we could win another NC next season.
If May gets his former team's core players, he could have a better first year then 2nd year when he will have to start from scratch with new recruits. He may come close to .500 in the B1G this coming season and probably make the NIT. But his 2nd year he may finish .300 in the B1G with a very young team. I hope people don't go crazy with the torches and pitch forks after his 2nd season. I would say by year 4, he should make the big dance.
Shea, I thought you would have gotten on of those USFL gigs. How about them Panthers, winning on a 60 Yd FG. I wonder if their FG kicker could play for the Lions during the off season for the USFL>
Harbaugh came through to what he promised, He delivered us a national championship. It is so rare to get the job done in the BCS and the 4 team playoff format. If may be easier in the 12 team format. But Harbaugh completed his mission here and wanted to try the NFL again.
My Irish genes really came in handy. They allowed me to drink an incredible amount of alcohol with very few negative effects. Though it took a long time and a lot of alcohol to get buzzed.
At least your ancestors came to the US because of the potato famine. Half of my ancestors are from Ireland as well and I'm glad they left for Boston in the 1860s.
Odds are we will end up with Josh, From a couple ISU games I have watched his team fundamentals looked good. If Marshall was not abusive to his players, he did well at Wichita State. I met him at an auction in Wichita 12 years ago. He really liked Michigan. He seem like a nice guy but sometimes those nice guys are not nice at all.
After a promising start, too bad it did not work out. All the best to Howard in his future endeavors. Hopefully the AD will hire a good coach who can rebuild this team.

So, we now have a team that could finish above .500 in the conference and make the tourney?
He was the chubby QB who did not have great pass accuracy.

WR may not be a weakness, with Morgan, Morris, Moore, and Bell. Plus our two good TE.

Moore and Bell looked good at WR. A bit more optimistic about our WR. Though, if there is a good deep WR in the portal, M should grab him.

O'Larey had a big spring game last year. Almost made some big catches in this game.
Needs: A few more WR through the portal. If there is a good passing QB in the portal, M should pick him up.
Not surprising. Reports were that Dengal was not doing well in spring practice Michigan should have went hard after McCord. They knew JJ was leaving.
I'm glad the real spring game is back. Many years it was a lame scrimmage.

I thought the D would play better but nice to see the offense make some plays against our tough D.
Orji did not look too bad on the first drive. Got a few tight throws.

If I lived closer, I would go!

I can't wait! The 9/14/99 eclipse totality path will cross southwest Michigan.
I know Milroe passed for a lot of yardage in High School, so the passing was always there. Not sure what Orgi did in HIgh School as far as passing?
Does not surprise me, it's what you expect going to OH to see an eclipse.

Too bad there is not a Jake Ruddock 2.0 out there!
I'm glad our D will be elite again this season. We may need to win a lot of low scoring games to make the playoffs.
It would be great to have Moore back in time as the season ends. We will beat OSU in Columbus and Moore will help us beat them a 2nd time in the B1G championship game, and then a 3rd time in the playoffs.
We may have to go with the wishbone on offense.

I wonder if some of our M football players have joined this group?

Happy Easter to both my religious Christians and secular friends.
Nothing will happen. Alabama will just tell the NCAA go go fuck off!
My bracket is shot. Two final 4 teams out, Houston and Arizona.
LOL, she was older and worked as a sportscaster in Anchorage. She worked hard to go out with Glenn when Michigan played in the AK tournament.
Dusty looks like a good hire. I expect an improvement in our defensive play and overall better basketball fundamentals. that lead back to coaching.

He's not coming back. Michigan is a train wreck. Best to just let those who want to go leave and rebuild.
I miss not watching good Michigan basketball the past 2 seasons. It helped fill in the gap between football seasons.

Sunday is the worse day for drinking because I work at 6 am on Monday. No Irish car bombs Today.

LOL, I meant 0.06/
Did he blow under a 0.6? 0.6-0.77 is a DUI and over 0.80 a DWI? I forgot the Michigan breathalizer criteria.
Not good for a coach of young student athletes. Not the example you want to set.

I was hoping Hart would come back as RB coach. But it here is friction with the program or with the HC, it may be best for him to go his separate way.
