regarding the Lewis INT

When thinking about the should-he-have/shouldn't-he-have on the Lewis INT, I keep thinking back to one of the quotes from the Annonymous B1G Players Say Things preseason article. There was one where somebody said that their team didn't see any problem throwing at Lewis becasue he doesn't get picks. Obviously, we all knew that was a totally insane thing to think, but I wonder if a play like this wasn't somewhat in response to those sentiments. Not that I think Lewis processed all of that as he somehow levitated for several seconds and then caught the ball with one hand, but I think it's reasonable to expect that having a play like that on film will affect how future opponents treat his presence as they build their gameplan.

chops: licked

"Michigan's starting D consists of eight seniors, a redshirt junior, Jabrill Peppers, and Rashan Gary"

This sentence literally made me cackle out loud.

I'm glad we still...

...have a RB coach who makes favorable comparisons between unhearalded recruits and all-time greats

References

A title that requires knowing both the correct pronunciation of Bryan Mone's name and quotes from History of the World: Part 1--how delightful. What percentage of this blog's readership falls into both of those categories? I think it's probably really high...

other comparison...

Even if the comparison to one of Michigan's best defensive players of the last decade doesn't pan out, Pallante sounds a lot like Terrance Taylor--another short, squat former wrestler. Though never a star, he definitely found his role amongst the star-studded 2006 defense. I'm totally OK with getting another DT like that.

Also, dude's name is Brady. We like those. (Tom/Hoke/Lloyd)

As for next year...

ESPN just released their list of 10 "Top Matchups" for 2012. These are the teams that fill those 20 possible spots, with the number of top games they will appear in next year.

Alabama: 3

Oklahoma: 3

Michigan: 2

Florida: 1

Texas A&M: 1

Arkansas: 1

Georgia: 1

S. Carolina: 1

Texas: 1

Notre Dame: 1

LSU: 1

Oregon: 1

USC: 1

West Virginia: 1

Ohio: 1

First of all, that's a pretty prestigious list (also very SEC-y, but that's another story). Second, there are only three teams that appear on it multiple times: Bama, Oklahoma, and us.

I'm very interested to see how Brady handles a year with high expectations (because that is, of course, what a Michigan coach should always have). Hoke uber alles!

leon!!! leon's painting is even funnier now that the receiver he's majestically out-leaping--laveranues coles--is his newest teammate.
