Michigan Monday is up at Ozone
There's nothing groundbreaking in this week's write up, but it's still a pleasure to read. Gerdeman mentions he likes watching Devin Bush run around because he never arrives delicately. He says there is room to move against this defense, but it learns and adjusts, like a sadistic supercomputer.

Anyway, the real news is that thanks to locker room-gate, this new rivalry with Purdue moves Michigan State to No. 4 on Michigan’s rivalry list, behind Purdue, Rutgers, and Ohio State.

What about Fuck Penn State and their delusional JoePa loving fans.

What in the world

I chortled.

Luckily, I have an office to myself because I laughed at loud at that.

Also never fails to amaze me how smart Gerdeman's takes are. He might even be the third best observer of Michigan football, after Brian and Nick Baumgartner.

Nick Bosa is going to eat Nolan Ulizio.
Let's hope Michigan's D line is better than OSU's O line by a greater margin than their D line is over ours b/c that game could easily be a 12-7 defensive slugfest.

John O'Korn will just have to channel his inner Baker Mayfield.

really what i'd like to read is one of these after a UM beatdown of OSU.
September 26th, 2017 at 7:38 AM ^
is usually pretty good. He respects the rivalry as much as any of us do.
But I agree. Beating OSU only twice in the last 15 damn years is really starting to get old.
September 26th, 2017 at 1:58 PM ^
disagree
September 26th, 2017 at 7:22 AM ^
We lost 10 starters. We suck on defense.

"The Wolverines were actually trailing 10-7 at the half, but they used the halftime to go have a good schvitz, and then they came out in the second half and treated Purdue like the Boilermakers deleted everything on Michigan’s DVR."
I hate it when someone deletes my DVR'd stuff...

His description of Speight's injury - "compressing his entire body into a Sonic the Hedgehog-like ball" - is one of the most perfectly illustrative uses of the English language I have ever read...

I laughed at that line. From now on this season, I will think of this defense as SkyNet probably - the moment it activates, that's the end of that.
September 26th, 2017 at 11:25 AM ^
take on that line has more to do with a scene from Jurassic Park where the park's Austrailan game warden is commenting on the dynamic intelligence of the velociraptors and what they learn about their hunters and systematically testing weaknesses in fencing protection.
"They remember."
September 26th, 2017 at 8:41 AM ^
That guy can write. Insightful and great wit.
September 26th, 2017 at 9:35 AM ^
Think I've said this before, but it's nice to read an unbiased review from the enemy. Nothing he said is untrue or unfair.
Usually the shit you find on 11W is something to the tune of rabble rabble rabble Hairball rabble rabble rabble Don Brown is overrated rabble rabble rabble scUM sucks rabble rabble rabble we're going to put up 700 yards on those guys.
September 26th, 2017 at 9:43 AM ^
Brown and Co. start adjusting even before the half, one gets the impression. When Purdue got to 10 points there was a sense of, that's all the scoring they will do - similar feel for Florida.
September 26th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
Great writer. He has a good point about Winovich possibly wearing down. Trust our coaches!
September 26th, 2017 at 9:51 AM ^
including late hit on Speight in back of his neck.

that we have this thread every time he puts up a column?
someone should invite him over
