New name. Same old Bouje. Bouje14 will be here by the MSU game.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:15 AM ^
But hey do whatever you feel like.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:19 AM ^
It has everything to do with anxiously awaiting your next meltdown.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:23 AM ^
About what a rival sports blog thinks of our performance.

<br>Sorry

After your explosions about Myron Rolle and teen suicide, I refuse to take anything you say seriously, Jason. Sorry.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:31 AM ^
What's your point. Was this post not good? Not informative?
September 13th, 2011 at 12:29 AM ^
Michigan Monday is a rock solid read week in and week out. They do a pretty great job.
And, yes, I feel dirty saying that about an Ohio site.
September 13th, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^
Michigan's defense and offense need a lot of work regardless of the outcome of the ND game? Thanks OSU article writer guy.

I was actually disappointed by Michigan Monday this week. Usually there's either some good snark or a little fingernail biting for the Buckeye "readers" (#didyouseewhatididthere).
But this week it was basically just sober, garden variety analysis. Pretty boring, frankly.

women's herstory month? did you see what i did there?
September 13th, 2011 at 1:50 AM ^
I certainly don't need a writer who hates Michigan to sober me up. I am perfectly aware on my own that our team has rather discouragingly huge holes on offense and defense and can read and discuss that here.
Going to a rival site you will read the same analysis but written by people who will take that criticism to the nth degree to compensate for the fact that they absolutely cannot stand seeing Michigan get positive publicility against their relentlessly negative attention (OSU) or continued national media apathy (MSU).
September 13th, 2011 at 10:52 AM ^
Honest question: Have you ever read Michigan Monday before this week?
September 13th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
I used to read it every week. I still check it out here and there.
Have you ever read Tony Gerdeman's Twitter? He despises Michigan. He reels back some of that for his MM column, but that Buckeye rage is there and sometimes will present itself even when he's trying to take a step back.

I had no idea who the author was when I read that story, and it sounded like it was being written by a disgruntled Michigan fan.
OSU fan or not, he has some very valid points. It is very unlikely we can make any extended run using Denard this much. It did not work last year, mainly because defenses keyed on him in the B10 and by then he was so dinged up, he wasn't the same guy as he was against ND.
If Toussaint cannot stay healthy, and no one else steps up (other than V Smith on passing situations - who is obviously a GREAT fit for that), then we're either a 8-4/9-3 team, or a team that somehow goes 10-2 or 11-1 and gets CRUSHED in a bowl game (see: MSU last year).
September 13th, 2011 at 10:53 AM ^
The scheme is the problem on offense, not the players we have. I think, given time, that Denard will get things figured out in this more pro-style offense, but if he were allowed to run what he knows, this offense wouldn't be a problem.
Allow me to make an analogy for a minute:
Lets say I am a contractor and have been used to doing my job a certain way for all the years I have done the job. One day I take a contract in South America to build a school. I bring all my tools that we use here in Canada to build schools, the problem is I have to use South American workers to do the jobs. They have never seen these tools before and have no idea how to use them.
What is my best means of moving forward. Force the workers to use tools they have never used before and in so doing end up with an inferior product, or educate myself on the tools they use and allow them to utilize the things they know with tools they are used to which would translate in a better product in the end.
I know what I would choose and frankly, I think it is too early to say that Borges isn't going to go that route. I think after watching how the first three quarters went there may be a shift back to a more spread like offense.
My point is still simply that it isn't really the offensive players that have holes, but the scheme itself.
