... By now you've certainly seen the "interview" Michigan offensive lineman Marques Slocum filled out on his Facebook page that Every Day Should Be Saturday dug up.  Marques not only uses every posssible shortcut in written communication, he is also my newest hero (the brave troops overseas, firemen, and drunk strippers just got bumped down the list).  Some highlights: ...

Michigan 2007, Part II: Defense
Published 8/31/2007 by Brian at mgoblog
... Things are similar but less iffy on the inside. Marques Slocum is finally eligible after a two-year odyssey in pursuit of academic eligibility and amorous big cats. A totally shirtless recruit from the 2005 class who dominated that year's Army All-Star game much like Justin Boren and Ryan Mallett did, Slocum has all the potential in the world. As a 20-year-old he's more physically developed than your average freshman, but he's played no football since enrolling at Michigan after prepping for a semester at Milford Academy. Plus the whole amorous big cat thing -- which is totally my fault for linking Slocum's colorful description of a shoulder injury and exposing it to the world at large, sorry Marques -- maybe kind of got him suspended for the opener? In any case, production early will probably be limited, but he's got serious upside. ...

The Games To Watch Today: September 1st, 2007
Published 9/1/2007 by Mike White at Digital Headbutt
These are the games I m keeping track of today: Appalachian State at #5 Michigan, 12:00 ET, Big Ten Network The Two-time defending Division 1 FCS Champion Mountaineers will start the season in front of the biggest crowd that they will ever see live, when they play Michigan in the Big House. It will be interesting to see how they match up against a BCS power, especially if the Wolverines stumble out of the gate. It could be the upset of the century. But I m not looking for a good matchup. This could be the single funniest game of the year. Every day leading into this season, I ve that the Michigan band will play the single worst college promotional song in history: If there is a God, they re going to play HOT HOT HOT at halftime. And someone with a camcorder is going to record it and put it on YouTube. The Hilarity will go through the roof with the presence of a certain offensive lineman ...
