I've been watching the panic on all the Michigan message boards over the Texas loss and it feels very reactionary. The Longhorns may well be the best team in the country right now. Personally, I think Texas did us did us a favor. It's an early wake up call from a non-conference opponent-better to get that early. Michigan got more great improvement film from that game than they could have gotten from a 100 fall practices. Actions have consequences. Now the players know what happens when they lose discipline. They know what needs to get better. But most importantly, they know what happens if they don't pay attention to details and improve. It's also going to establish a baseline for Sherrone Moore era accountability. Is accountability and culture just words or are they going to mean what they meant when Jim Harbaugh was here? Leaders are born from moments like these.

Panicking now is pointless and premature. We have 8 days until we will really know what kind of football team we have. Do we have the kind that takes a beating and folds, or the kind that learns and evolves from their mistakes? When USC comes to town is 8 days we will know where this Michigan team is headed and what they are made of.

Go Blue!
