About an hour and a half down I-75 for me4.
August 11th, 2009 at 3:04 PM ^
Quite informative

Alpharetta.

It is going to great when all these naysayers eat their words about UM. Let them talk.
I think we are going to surprise some people this year.
And I don't know where he gets off saying "The only way this season could be worse? Lose to Western Michigan or Eastern Michigan in the Big House."
Maybe EMU I agree. But WMU is a damn good team. And I am sorry but #5 in the country losing to Appy state was worse than either of these.
August 11th, 2009 at 3:18 PM ^
Schlabach is the biggest moron ever.
August 11th, 2009 at 5:31 PM ^
you forget forde and coward
August 12th, 2009 at 7:45 AM ^
Drew Sharp
and many others
August 12th, 2009 at 7:49 AM ^
double post.
sorry.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:03 PM ^
Pretty much what I expected. Losing to EMU would be crazy, but I really don't see WMU or EMU beating UM this year.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:21 PM ^
He does predict that Michigan will be in a bowl game. He has Michigan against North Carolina in the Champs Sports bowl.

Seems a little high. I'm more inclined to believe the Feldman list where we backdoor our way into a scrub bowl, presumably at 6-6. Champs sports seems more like a 8-4 type bowl, which is a stretch for any realistic projection.
Are the bowls forced to go by record at all, or can they just pick whoever they want? If we make it and they can pick whoever, that would give us a decent chance of being overrated into a higher bowl... which wouldn't be so bad since RR has performed well in bowl games, and our team should improve quite a bit over time.
I'm not really offended by the hot or not list; it's fine to say we had a sucky season last year. There was also mention of Michigan at Iowa as an important conference game, which it really isn't (for other teams). Pat Forde on the other hand, is an ass.
August 11th, 2009 at 7:27 PM ^
he wasn't stupid enough to put Rich Rod in the "Coaches in Trouble" category
Not sayin'. Just sayin'.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:27 PM ^
Let them talk. The only thing that will change minds is wins in the upcoming season.
I cannot wait until September 5th to get this started.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:38 PM ^
Archive these. So when we go 9-3 and RR is Coach of the Year we can pull these out and have a laugh.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:42 PM ^
I don't think RR would get coach of the year for 9-3. While that would be almost Zookian improvement, people are more likely to blame him for the previous season.
10-2, sure. Not that I'd complain about either one, or 8-4, or 7-5.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:45 PM ^
We'd need to go to the Rose Bowl or at least tie for 1st in B10-not gonna happen.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:45 PM ^
ESPN just loves to hate on Michigan. It can get a little annoying, but I've just gotten use to t. Can't wait until September 5th to prove them wrong.
August 11th, 2009 at 5:19 PM ^
Why does everyone keep posting this crap/feeding these guys? What do you expect them to say, that Michgian is primed for a big year?
August 11th, 2009 at 5:42 PM ^
Schlabach has no friends because he has a rare form micro-penis.
August 11th, 2009 at 5:45 PM ^
Prior to the 2008 season, the Hurricanes left the crumbling Orange Bowl -- their home for seven decades -- for Dolphin Stadium. Because of a recent naming-rights agreement, they'll play this season in a stadium named for a beer owned by singer Jimmy Buffett. It doesn't get much cooler than that.
August 11th, 2009 at 7:29 PM ^
They are a solid MAC team, but they have no defense.Plus, they run a traditional pro style offense. Hiller is not as good as Lefervour at CMU. Not by a long shot.
August 11th, 2009 at 8:19 PM ^
about that. Central Michigan's QB is spectacular and ahead of Hiller by leaps and bounds. They will both however see action in the NFL.
