Ummmmm, Yeah...........Michigan vs Illinois

Listening To: Breakin' My Heart by Little Brother
Forecast: Flood Warning

Can you call Michigan this year a bad team? Can you call us a good team? The Jekyll and Hyde performances prevent you from making any significant critiques. 6-6 looks like an improbable task one week, and a comfy challenge the next. After the 500th game spectacle no one estimated we could see anything close to that again.


THAT JUST HAPPENED!!!!!!!




An outer perspective of UM games so far this year

• Terrible first half vs Utah.
• Terrible second half vs Miami OH.
• Who's Who Halves vs ND......Ill Take Second.
• Terrible two thirds vs Wisconsin.
• Terrible errr ummmm three fourths vs Illinois?

Now if you add all that up you can see Michigan has played about a complete 1/7th of a game this season.......this has to improve. We were up 14-3, at home what happened?

I'll Show you here



Now if you notice the bloke in the scarf is a analogous to Benn, Juice, Dufrene, major national recruits etc, we just can't seem to get a hold of them this year. The people wearing yellow would symbolize....well take your pick on the UM defense. Me has a feeling Nike is behind this. The grounds crew had no answer for this streaker, he taunted them the entire time, similar to Juice letting us think we had a chance while up 14-3.

Still not convinced?

Exhibit F
&

As you can see in both these photos Michigan players are behind the ball carrier. A wise man once said "Score few points than the other team, you shall lose", he also came up with "No grass on the field, then play in the dirt." Whatever became of him cant be for certain. Michigan spent alot of time looking at the backside of the other team in both these contests, its just a coincidence we lost both of them.

Looking inside

• Great start!
• Very disappointed in the LB play today, looked sophmorish out there.
• Threet, you still have no touch on the ball, suggest to RR to set up some sort of touch improvement drill in practice. Like erecting a huge wall in front of you and your intended receiver.
• Richard Rodriguez, I thought we addressed the fumbling issues?
• Odoms is more the TRUTH than the Mixtape Messiah. Get this kid in space or hell and hes going to succeed. Suffered from the trying to win it all in one play bug though.
• Why was Charles Stewart in on that 77yd TD pass?
• Why wasn't Charles Stewart in on the 65 yd screen td?
• What is with losing sight of Benn on any offensive play? Juice has two offensive options, Benn or himself. We got inoculated by both today.
• Juice Heisman campaign now in full swing at ESPN
• ABC tv coverage gets worse each week, terrible camera, terrible color commentary, terrible fact checking.
• Halftime adjustments were worse than what we did in the first half.
• Barwis shed a tear.
• Gotta pass to open up the run, gotta run to open up the pass. Slants work, throwing behind the LOS not so much. McGuffie pitch on 3rd and goal=dumb as hell. Seen better playcalling in NCAA 09.
• Speaking of NCAA 09, if it weren't for that game I wouldn't have been able to understand the inherent complexities of the Zooker offense, thank you ABC for that in depth look, sweet TD!
  
• We improved in the team celebrating on our field department. Not only do they celebrate in our stands and on our field, now they also break records. Most points ever given up in TBH and most pass yards ever in TBH(yes thats ever, thats 1929, that's all qb's, that should be held by a UM player.)
  

Final Thought: Time to go water ski!
