To the real American heros thank you for your service. We should do more than one day for you. Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated and loved. Now Beat Northwestern.....

Just read they fired their OC, DC, and WR coach!

I doubt Moore does the same during the season, but should be done before the bowl game, if there is one.

I think right now I would put the Andrew Olesh situation at LIKELY to stay put but I’m definitely not feeling super comfortable with things right now.

However, some good news:

Our ND site also said that Olesh is still leaning Michigan (which we have reported) but the Irish and Penn State are threats. Oregon flipped a TE this weekend.

Olesh was in South Bend this weekend.

I wonder if Charlotte doesn’t go bowling do they get rid of Biff & Sherrone picks up the phone to bring him back home. Truly think he needs that 1A guy that Biff was to Jim

Is going to be excellent for my mental health. Can’t wait.

Fully expecting Ivan Taylor to flip to Alabama.

Also, flipped my FutureCast from Michigan to Texas for Graceson Littleton. Talk was that he was basically all but wrapped up coming out of the weekend but had to survive the Texas visit. Sounds like that talk has shifted to the Longhorns.

Any truth to rumors ivan taylor considering flipping to bama?

Rubin Jones is questionable after missing the season opener against Cleveland State with an undisclosed injury.

Justin Pippen is also questionable.

Wake Forest is a 1.5-point favorite, according to ESPN. Tip-off is at 1 p.m., and the game will air on ESPN2

For those younger people on the board, I want to point to 1984 Michigan football. Michigan went 6-6 that year, when scholly limits were at 95 and Michigan and OSU were dominating the Big Ten. We beat #1 Miami to start the year but Harbaugh got injured and we ended up 6-6. Offense was horrible and we averaged less than 20 points for the year. Why? We had no quarterback. Team was stacked with talent yet Bo had no serviceable QB to step in. The next year, with a healthy QB, we went 10-1. There is hope my friends. Things will get better.

Whether it’s offense, defense, or decisions on players but coaching has cost this team 3 wins; Washington, Illinois, and now Indiana.

UM is now 1-1 on the season after a two point loss to Wake in the Deacon/Wolverines Challenge.

This clown show of a season will end in a soul crushing 56-10 angry loss in Cbus.

The offense will not score a TD.

Let's start with the D this week. The greatest thing about this defense is they have not shown one bit of quit in their DNA. Again, today, they played well enough to win the game. The D line dominated in the second half. The hitting today was outstanding. We held IU to 20 points. That should be enough.

On the downside, it takes a half for Wink to figure things out.
Overall, the D is pretty good. They are not great like last year, but they are okay.

Special teams: Z is $$. Punting is crap. We can't put two or three good punts in a row together. It hurt us today.
Z may be the MVP for the entire team.

Offense: Well, it's not good. Let's start with personnel choices. The Orji experiment needs to be put to bed. Once in a while, it works, but mostly, it's a waste of plays. It's predictable and disrupts the flow of the game. Donovan Edwards will go down as legendary for his play at Michigan, but this stuff has mismanaged him and Mullings. If they flipped Mullings to DE carries and gave Edwards carries to Mullings, I think this offense would be much better than it's shown. I think Mullings would be a workhorse on any other team. The personal choices and timing of personnel changes have killed momentum over and over.

Play calling: In a word, it's bizarre. It seems like every time we get momentum, this staff takes a chainsaw to it. Bringing in Orji after Warren completes a couple of passes in a row. With the game on the line, we run a trick play where one of our Smurf wideouts ends up being the QB. This week, we get a gift on the seven-yard line, and we telegraph three run plays and end up kicking a FG. The list goes on.

Players: Davis Warren should have played better. When he wasn't running for his life, he missed some throws that could have really made a difference. Unfortunately, most of the night, he was running for his life. The offensive line was crap most of the night. Link and Hinton were beaten on the outside all night, and none of our backs could get to the second level without contact. Our receivers can't win 50/50 balls.

Offensive staff: Top to bottom, a crap show. Kirk is horrible. Serrone, terrible, all of them, terrible.

It is what it is. I don't have answers. I hope Sherrone can figure it out because we are stuck with him for at least one more year. Everyone on his staff should be on notice.

Go Blue!

Lots of issues this year but this one is my biggest concern. We went from having a dominant line to it being a huge weakness. Yes I know we lost a lot from last year but what happened to the development of these guys. Super concerning given our current head coach used to be OL coach . Why is it so bad . We can’t even run the ball anymore.

If Bryce Underwood stated that he would accept UMs NIL offer only if they would mark the yard lines in UM stadium every 5 yards (like LSU), would you approve?

If offering millions of dollars doesn't seem over the top, does this?

You Jar Heads never looked so good!!!

Semper Fi!!!
