Just to preface this post, I was born in 1990 and my earliest memories of UM football were watching Biakabatuka in 95 and even those memories were vague. I remember a nervousness in my stomach when they announced the Heisman Trophy in 97 and jumping around the house with my family celebrating the 98 Rose a bowl win.

YouTube threw some videos in front of me that were from the 1991 season. I watched a few and saw some graphics that Michigan averaged 450 yards a game and I saw they scored a lot of points that year which was a great team overall.

I’ve read before that Moeller was the offensive innovator that modernized UMs offense. Can anyone explain the differences in Moeller’s offenses vs Bo’s and Lloyd Carrs? What were your thoughts and others thoughts (media, friends, family) about Michigan’s offense when Moeller modernized it? Just curious about some UM football history and appreciate anyone’s thoughts.

Rutgers has elected to wear all-white as the home team.
This means Michigan will be wearing a version of their home set on the road, I am not sure what combo yet.

Has Michigan ever worn their home uniform in a true road game before to anyone's memory?

You all know the drill!

- Guess the score
- Closest to the score wins
- If a score isn’t guessed correctly and if someone nails the Michigan score, it’s an auto-win

Winner gets an MDen gift card. Good luck!!

Bo Edmunson their 2023 QB commit just decommitted, I wonder how many will drop?

So pathetic.

Celebrating a play in a blowout loss that you pushed off on.

This is little doubt, slightly more in our favor for Davis.
👍GO BLUE

Cannot seem to find any statement anywhere from the B1G. I know that the investigation is on going but to say nothing to this point is very curious.

Hey guys! Rich Schnyderite here, publisher of The Knight Report aka the Rutgers-Rivals site. Just wanted to drop by and post our video / transcript from Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano's press conference today.

There is only a couple of Michigan questions / answers in there, so ENJOY!

Washington & UTAH. These two schools will add travel partners for USC & UCLA while bringing in two universities the B1G President's would be on board with in the B1G. This would pit the B1G with all 4 time zones across the country.

This would give the B1G 18 schools which would still fit in the no divisions model.

The real question is how would a division less or pod less single division work with 24 schools. As the 24 team model appears to be KW's goal.

Personally, the single no division model simply doesn't work for me (my opinion). I get the idea behind it, but, does it really offer the greatest competitive format? It is possible, I suppose so, but the pod concept IMHO offers the greatest advantage to limit crazy travel and still allows a national competitiveness within the league over all.

Before any new additions our current or new media partners must come up with more money, with the right mix of schools, the demand for the content they would bring will be there.

I suspect that ESPN would have jumped on the western expansion, but, I believe they nixed that idea because they will fight against the B1G expansion because the b1G cut ESPN's pet animal, the SEC out from going national.

We will see as the league moves forward! It will be what it is... This is why the league honchos are paid the big bucks to manage B1G sports.

What a way to make a living!!!...

Give us one area of improvement you think needs to happen to beat OSU. Can be anything.

For me, I want to see us do a better job of blocking downfield - and I know that sounds crazy because we are pretty good at it.

But I think we can be better, and I think if we are, we will see some of Corum's 10 yard runs turn into 60 yard TDs.

Since the first half had several long passes where the msu wr used his size and skill to catch 50-50 balls, my question is what actually did um do to stop it in the second half? Thorne still had time although obviously the um pass rush pressure was increased. When msu ran the ball I was thrilled but I couldn’t see why they didn’t chuck it up to the wrs a lot more. I was concerned about that part of their game like in 2020.

Jim Harbaugh brings up a player or coach/staffer after every practice for what he calls “Wise Words.” It’s basically a platform to speak to the entire team to deliver a message whether it’s serious or motivating.

Walk-on RB Danny Hughes had his turn to speak on Monday. He played high school ball with Peyton Thorne and Jayden Reed and you can imagine that was the topic he discussed.

Keep in mind, Hughes has a mild to moderate stutter.

Needless to say, the contents of the speech really fired up the team after practice today. And, to top it all off, Hughes didn’t stutter once in what I’m sure was a pretty nervy situation.

Just something cool I figured I’d pass on. If Michigan wins, I’ll tell you all the synopsis of the speech.

Another grind it out win, Rutgers gets one fluke touchdown. We run the ball 50 plus times. Slow first half start, second half dominance, rinse wash and repeat.

I saw a claim at Mike Sainistril got punched at the end of the play.

Anyone have a good highlight of this play?

Rutgers has a bad offense but a solid defense. I am afraid all this spartan crap has distracted the team - plus coming off back to back "big games" and we end up in a slosh Saturday night. I mean we win but not overly impressive. Something like that awful performance last year vs them. I hope my fear is misplaced.
