i feel like the system is much deeper and better off than it has been in a long time. keep singing lorenzen's and flaherty's to one year prove it deals and then trade them for prospects. that's how you build a system.

texas opens as a 7 point favorite. wow. how the mighty have fallen.

and they NEED receivers. they dont need running backs.

anyway, back to this year's michigan team. sure looks like they have some problems! oline was bad. will johnson was bad. the recievers were bad. the qbs cant throw downfield. wink called a really good game. they were blitzing all over the place and mostly successful when they did. the d ends looked good too. mullings looked good. edwards looked bad (huh, its almost like he had trouble identifying running lanes...who knew?). loveland looked great. guidice got replaced but settled down a bit in the second half. jyaire hill looked good to me. none of us are at practices, and maybe theyre hiding things before texas, but when your best oline recruits are benched in favor of low level guys, its usually not a good sign. and it wasnt good last night. none of that matters without a qb. and they dont have a qb (although orji looks like he could be denard-lite if they let him). looks like we'll be scouting the portal for qbs next year. we dont really know what fresno state will be. maybe they are a really good mid major team? likely not, but maybe. we'll find out what michigan is next saturday. if they play like they did today its not going to be pretty.

you let your dislike for him cloud your opinion of his ability. how did urban meyer do in the pros? nick saban? how about jim harbaugh? you cite andrew luck but make no mention of alex smith and colin kapernick? no coach wins without talent. how is bill belichick doing without tom brady?

jim harbaugh won a national championship, took a team to the super bowl in year 2 (with alex smith and colin kapernick as qb), and made STANFORD a powerhouse. i know you have something against him personally, but he's one of the best football coaches alive.

wait, there he is. getting roasted on what should have been a touchdown. welp, i'm going out for the night. hopefully the vibes change in the second half. go blue.

they play texas next week.

romad, they dont have a qb. theyre not winning many games if they can dominate up front. and theyre being dominated by fresno state. will johnson hurt already.

are you mocking me? lol.

but the playcalling has been atrocious. in fairness, they dont have a qb. kind of hard to fun an offense without a qb and an offensive line.

i'm more worried about sherrone moore. youre replacing one of the best coaches in football with a guy who has been an assistsnt for a couple years and no head coaching experience to speak of (yeah yeah, four games last year with a stacked team and harbaugh doing the coaching all week). not exactly the resume i want for a guy to lead a top 10 program. they didnt have much choice, but i think it might be the beginning of a downturn fpr michigan.

that's the guy you picked to be your starting center? the one who just got pushed by 5 yards by...checks notes....fresno state? oh boy this does not look good.

that was a very uninspiring offensive first quarter. lets pick it up, boys.

michigan is the new iowa.

you shouldnt drive when you smoke pot or eat gummies too...

if he had done that consistently for the last two years he would be in the pros right now. but he didnt. let's see if the holes are there this year.

he sure did have a problem with it. bouncing off his own blockers and then finding open space is one thing, finding the hole is another. he's very inconsistent at it.

having a couple 3* nobodies beat out your top recruits at tackle and center is not encouraging.

its confirmed

he could win the heisman if he could figure out how to spot a hole and run through it.

the last three are against the white sox in detroit. i hope the sox break the loss record because to avoid breaking it they'll likely have to win at least one of those games in detroit and i dont want them win another game against detroit. ever.

2 to 4 losses. have a hard time seeing them beat osu this year. think the split with oregon and texas. hard to tell without an established qb. hot takes: oline is better than last year. they lose one game they should win (nebraska?). alex orji is a pretty darn good (running) qb. i'll be boring and say 9-3. losses to oregon, nebraska, and ohio state.

just during the season.

interesting cuts: desmond ridder andre carter cj henderson quintez cephus! amani oruwariye alex leatherwood (haha mayock) mike white (friend of tater) bailey zappe equanimious st brown (lions pick up?) allen robinson ii (he used to be good) parris campbell
