Love Brandstatter as a person. Love Deirdorf as a person. Both are awful on the radio. Both need to be replaced. UM football deserves better play-by-play and better gametime commentary.

company man brandstatter
September 10th, 2017 at 5:44 PM ^
Well, if there's someone you would like to see host "Inside Michigan Football" outside of the normal rotation of folks, I am quite sure the producers would be willing to consider some names from random fans on a sports blog. That strategy has always worked in the past anyway.
September 10th, 2017 at 5:45 PM ^
just get him off the radio
September 10th, 2017 at 6:36 PM ^
Brandstatter was part of the first Bo team that reinstituted Michigan as a force in college football. So was Dierdorf. I am glad to see two people who contributed so much on the field have an opportunity to work the radio booth now.
It's called "tradition." Don't be a hyoocrite.
September 10th, 2017 at 10:13 PM ^
Don't be a jag. Brandy is the essence of what a Michigan Man is all about. Nobody cares what you think.
September 10th, 2017 at 5:58 PM ^
No real response to either comment there...but do you know what happened to Doug Karsch? I don't listen to the radio (not sure why anyone would when everyone complains about it - seems kind of counterproductive), but would he be a fit there?
I remember he used to have a part in these Inside Michigan Football pieces. Maybe he'd be a better option than JB?
I feel at this point, JB is like Michigan's version of Corso and they may take him off PBP...but they're not going to take this little nugget from him. It's a fluff recap and just not that big of a deal. Just my 2 cents.
September 11th, 2017 at 7:30 AM ^
I would like to see Rick Leach
September 10th, 2017 at 5:30 PM ^
for posting. Love getting this in Cali.

Grant Perry has some nice hands, nice catches fully extended throughout his career. That one low catch that was ruled incomplete was definitely a catch. I don't like him lunging the ball out there for the touchdown hopefully the coaches make him stop doing that. Totally not needed. Rashan Gary was not a late hit let alone targetting. Again the refs just itching to make that call way too liberally.
September 10th, 2017 at 5:59 PM ^
You may be right and I haven't rewatched but I remember thinking lunge when he was getting close and that it was the right decision.
Again I need to rewatch
September 10th, 2017 at 10:58 PM ^
I don't have a problem with him lunging it, my issue was he did it one handed.
September 10th, 2017 at 6:01 PM ^
Personally I'm glad Perry finished that play. Sadly I wasn't confident we could get the ball in from the 2 yard line. Another fumbled snap and we're sunk.
September 10th, 2017 at 7:47 PM ^
Perry had guys closing in on him. By leaping from the 4yd line, before they could make contact, he removed his legs from where they could have been cut down and ensured he got in for the score. I don't think he would have made it otherwise. Even if he kept his feet with two guys hitting him, the third guy could have got there. I have no problem with his effort here.
September 10th, 2017 at 5:41 PM ^
No voice sounds on my end with phone and computer just scratchy sound
September 10th, 2017 at 5:42 PM ^
Not worthy of a post, but what do people think of burning Samuels' redshirt? Seems unnecessary to me with the number of solid RBs we have.
September 10th, 2017 at 5:47 PM ^
If the ten million dollar man thinks it's needed then I'm for it
September 10th, 2017 at 6:11 PM ^
so he is not such a rookie next year.
September 10th, 2017 at 6:11 PM ^
He didn't suit yesterday and the coaches likely want a 4th RB like last year.
September 10th, 2017 at 6:16 PM ^
They didn't burn his red shirt. The rules have changed according to those who know more than I about it. You get 4 games.
September 10th, 2017 at 8:47 PM ^
No, that's just a proposal (not voted on yet), apparently.
September 10th, 2017 at 7:15 PM ^
'Master of the obvious'
September 10th, 2017 at 8:01 PM ^
On the fly I didn't notice how quickly the D turned and started blocking after the first INT. I guess they got the "respond quickly on turnovers" message after last weekend. Watson in particular.
Good coaching, good playing.
September 10th, 2017 at 8:12 PM ^
We ran all over the field and it was just plays here and there that killed drives. I'm hoping this was just a let down from Florida and we come out and destroy Air Force
September 10th, 2017 at 8:13 PM ^
I'll take a W with everyone's knees intact.
September 10th, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
same here. when they showed Devin Bush's injury on replay, I cringed and immediately flashed back to the last time we played air force
September 10th, 2017 at 11:09 PM ^
It looks like a helmet to the jimmies to me. Afterward he was sitting on the sideline like it was that, too. Did you see something else?
September 10th, 2017 at 8:56 PM ^
Jay Harbaugh is the new running backs coach...is he doing great because Issac is much improved and playing well, or is he doing poorly because Chris Evans seems to have regressed?
September 10th, 2017 at 9:28 PM ^
i think the jury is still out. Ty has always been great on sweeps, but he is being given more opportunities this year.
with Evans, I dont think he has regressed, the problem is our O line not openijg holes for him. Evans and Higdon need to make it through the hole then make their "1 cut" off the 2nd level. they arent even getting to the second level.
this is part of the offense that worries me. eventually defenses will realize Ty is in and the play is bouncing outside. when that dries up, our offense will be that much worse.
September 11th, 2017 at 2:21 AM ^
Don't see how Evans has regressed. He is juking the shit out of people. True it's often in the backfield.
