Is it really sporting when he probably just forgot to shave this morning?

I half expected him to throw a block after "snapping" the ball on that drill. Hoke still looks the part of a linemen
August 26th, 2012 at 1:29 AM ^

When Hoke finished his career at Ball State, there were no QBs, only MEN playing MANBALL. Then Bill Walsh came along and ruined everything.
August 26th, 2012 at 11:23 AM ^
Still looked better than Taylor Martinez....just saying.
August 26th, 2012 at 4:55 PM ^
And that's saying something since Hoke looked like he was trying to chuck a watermelon.

I like your enthusiasm, but one top ten team beating another is not shocking the world.

The fab five weren't exactly a division II team when they played Duke. I think the reference has more to do with the fact that the game is being played on a national stage and no one expects Michigan to win.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^
The Fab Five were freshmen and they weren't pre-season top ten either.
August 26th, 2012 at 12:23 PM ^
Seriously? How would it not shock the world if we won? Who is giving us a chance, again?
August 26th, 2012 at 3:00 PM ^
bringing back the cabbage patch after a Michigan upset of Bama. Pure gold. The dougie is back.... why not?
August 26th, 2012 at 4:44 AM ^
Lol at the choice of tunes... perhaps they should play Southern Man from Neil Young....

It looks like Bellomy got a lot of snaps in camp. This will be a good ting for next years QB depth. This is the season that Taylor Lewan shows the world that he is the best tackle in college football.

days remaining until Michigan runs over some Bama fools.

Interesting vibe coming out of Hoke, Borges and Mattison in their interviews. There's the to-be-expected coach-speak about "always room for improvement." But there's a certain ... dare I say it? ... calm, quiet confidence in how this team has formed.
No cocky boasting (that's not their way), but also very little obvious lowering of expectations.
Perhaps I'm reading too much into this ... but I sense the coaches know something we do not. Yet.

agreed

I agree with Don AZ's observation here, but with regards to what you pointed out, I think that the "lack of consistency" phrase rolls up into the coack-speak of "room for improvement" though. I would imagine that most coaches and coordinators would talk about "lack of consistency" at some point in camp or maybe even in the season wherever they saw it, but in this camp, they're not settling for some readily attainable level of competency (i.e., not lowering expectations - if that's what they were doing, I don't think we'd hear ideal state phrases like "hearing football" or "Michigan defense" as often as we do in pressers). It seems to me that, as much as they use these coach-speak terms, they do like what they have and the are pleased with what is happening, even though we see mere snippets of it.

Especially his comment about his cornerbacks not having enough closing spead. My be he is baiting Saban.
August 26th, 2012 at 9:29 AM ^
Ommameh interviews, but no magic happening :(
August 26th, 2012 at 11:44 AM ^
What a teaser for tomorrow
August 26th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
We won when our mobile atheltic QB (Demetrious Brown) hit our best reciever (John Kolesar) on 4th down in the End Zone for the win.
I'll take that again.
August 26th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
I gotta say, the blue jersey / blue pants combo has the potential to look pretty sweet. Not something to mess with at home, but something to keep in our pocket for a future bowl game or for when we go down to Death Valley to play LSU some year in the future. I can dream.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:49 PM ^
Has that ever been done?
