That was actually Scotty Passink with Griese. He has cerebral palsy.

Just had an interesting mini-interview with Mike Hart who mentioned that a lot of players didn't want to come back to Michigan while RR was here and that more players want to come back now that Hoke is caoch
April 16th, 2011 at 12:25 PM ^
That makes me rage. Way to be all-in for Michigan, former players who didn't want to come back when RR was coaching.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
It's pathetic. Makes me sick.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
Then fuck them.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:23 PM ^

April 16th, 2011 at 12:24 PM ^
Mike Cox,
Please get good at blocking, etc.

April 16th, 2011 at 12:25 PM ^
Hot Sideline Reporter: Mike, what do you think Coach Hoke brings to Michigan as HC?
Mike Hart: Derp
April 16th, 2011 at 12:25 PM ^
Mike Cox looks bigger.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
than who's?
April 16th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
George Morales sightings: 1
April 16th, 2011 at 12:27 PM ^
Or Jorge Bigs as he is known in the barrio....
April 16th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
It's crazy watching Mike Martin rush from the edge. I feel bad for whatever RB has to try to block him.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:28 PM ^
It's weird to see Denard drop back. He's looked good so far from what I've seen though.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:28 PM ^
our passing game needs some work........obviously our kicking game is vastly improved
April 16th, 2011 at 12:30 PM ^
I really really love what Im seeing from the new defensive schemes.....
April 16th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
lets keep tally of how many times we hear the words "tough" and "physical" the rest of the game
April 16th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
Will Campbell was not moved to OL because of injuries. And Michigan did not run a 3-4 last year.
But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
Jake "Sunshine" Ryan staying at home on that....
April 16th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
Jake Ryan wit da sack. I always think of Jack Ryan played by Harrison Ford whenever I hear of his name for some reason.

...who is jordan barpal??
April 16th, 2011 at 12:35 PM ^
Where did they find the announcers for this game they are terrible!
April 16th, 2011 at 12:38 PM ^
Well...the color analyst started 50 consecutive games here, was an All American and first round pick and has a NC ring.
Good insider's perspective on Michigan FB, just what you want for a Spring Game.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
two nice defensive play in a row. We'll see a lot more of this eventually.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:39 PM ^
Any chance frosh Matt Wile starts out the season as at kicker? Dude's got a leg, and clearly Gibbons and Broekhuizen are back to their 2010 form. Just a thought.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
I think most people right now are assuming and praying that Wile will start.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
But right now, I'm pretty disappointed. The offense looks pretty bad, and the defense has given up some big plays. Then, of course, the field goal situation. This spring game is making me very worried.
On the plus side, I was amused by the zone blitz where big Will dropped back into coverage.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:43 PM ^
You can be opptimistic and pessimistic at the same time, and be right each time.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
Except I'm not feeling optimistic at all. This spring game is just making it look like Michigan is taking a huge step backwards. It's making me worry if we can even get to the same win record as last year.
You prefer to look good in the spring game instead of in a actual game?
No, obviously it's more important to look good in the actual game. But if you look terrible in the spring game like the offense, then that likely means that there is a gigantic improvement needed to have any chance to look good in the actual game. Especially when you're going against what was the worst defense in the Big Ten. This offense would have been shut out by pretty much any defense in the Big Ten. It's pathetic.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
This isn't full speed and there is a lot of subbing to give all the guys some reps close to a game speed. Buck up man! MANBALL will prevail!
<br>
<br>And Wile will solve all K woes - and sell hot dogs at halftime even
April 16th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
Has a big time arm - but both he and Drb need to learn to set their feet and to get rid of the ball quicker.
April 16th, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
I'm bored.....
April 16th, 2011 at 12:48 PM ^
Michigan football is back. :)
I'll only know Carrball is back if we start throwing 5-yard outs. On 3rd and 8.
I kid because I love.
The old guard must feel so content and at home. Everything is right in the world again. We will have a competent defense (or better), and our offense can pretend that like the last couple decades never happened. (Of course, the old guard doesn't remember what the Mad Magicians did on the field. Hint: it wasn't run power up the middle all day.) Somebody, hand me a chardonnay and some brie!
April 16th, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
more toughness references ahead
April 16th, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
its both great and depressing to hear red's voice again
April 16th, 2011 at 12:43 PM ^
Is Jack Kennedy no longer our third string?
April 16th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
Did Jack Kennedy change his name to Steve Wilson?
April 16th, 2011 at 12:46 PM ^
Honestly, I felt a lot better about the upcoming season before watching this game. You can see how much better we look out of the gun.
