... have fallen off after appearing to emerge as challengers for conference hegemony, and the Michigan Wolverines have dropped off the edge of the earth. Mark Dantonio’s Spartans appear poised to fill the void, at long last shedding their "choke artist" image by winning three of their last four regular-season games in 2008. With no Ohio State on the schedule, Michigan State has a solid shot at a second-place finish in the league. ...

... bad day, he's a liability. The Illini go as Juice goes.
Defense - With the thin linebacking and secondary corp, the defensive line is going to have to be killers. Pilcher on the end and Williams in the middle are the two seniors. They will have to be rocks if this defense is going to stop anybody.
Area that scares you as Michigan:
Simple: Juice Williams doing what he did last year.
Area that makes you salivate as the Michigan Wolverines:
That defense looks primed to be worked ...
Don't Make Me Open Up a 50-Gallon Drum of Grizzard on You: A Reply to Maize 'n' Brew Dave

My favorite Michigan Wolverines blogger is, without a doubt, Maize ‘n’ Brew Dave. Granted, this is because other Michigan Wolverines bloggers either regrettably stopped writing or regularly call me a moron, but, still, being No. 1 is being No. 1, even if it’s only by default.
Accordingly, I read with amusement Dave’s satirical guide to irritating SEC fans. (I wish to stress that Dave was being satirical. Don’t take it personally. He’s just being funny. I can only ...

Defensively, it's gotta be the combo of Odrick and Ogbu. These types of DT's are sorely missed on Michigan's roster, and it's amazing how demoralizing it is when your center's butt is the first contact made after a hand-off.

Florida will now advance to the Cotton Bowl and await the winner of Oklahoma at Wisconsin, while BYU will probably receive a bid to the Las Vegas Bowl as the Mountain West champion.

That September was my first Notre Dame football game, ...

In a game that featured approximately 54 minutes of woeful offensive ineptness coupled with periods of alternating defensive brilliance and stoutness-resembling-that-of-a-wet-noodle, it's difficult to imagine that we forced it to overtime. Consider that after the first quarter, State had tallied somewhere around 150 yards of offense to our none and you'll get an idea of how things were going for the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday. Yet, despite all of the missed ...

Nebraska will prove that you don’t have to get better if everyone around you is getting worse.

Since 1997, Penn State has lost nine out of ten meetings with the Maize and Blue, finally snapping the streak last season. Sometimes, getting the win that breaks an opponent’s longstanding stranglehold on a rivalry changes the psychology of the series and shifts the momentum entirely, as proved to be true with Clemson’s win over Georgia in 1977 or Ohio State’s win over Michigan in 2001. Usually, ...

I might have elevated South Carolina past Joe Paterno’s squad, were it not for the facts that the Palmetto State Poultry are weighed down by a loss to a mediocre Georgia team and all four of the Gamecocks’ wins over BCS ...
