The Hammer:
Vandy’s two leading tacklers on defense in 2005 were defensive backs and they lost them to graduation. Their top middle linebacker signed a free-agent deal with the Titans and their four year starter at Quarterback could very well replace Jake Plummer in Denver by the end of the year. The coaching staff is talking [...]

Staff Predictions: Vanderbilt Commodores
You’ve Gone and Done It Now!
They said it just for me. They knew I had just turned on the tv, I know they did. I can accept criticism but I can not accept a lack of respect. Whether it puts the University of Michigan in a better position by being disrespected, if that’s what it takes to get motivated…well I [...]
Know Your Foe: Vanderbilt
Less than three days before Michigan takes the field in an attempt to get their 850th all-time victory, which is, of course, a record. Ann Arbor will welcome the SEC into the city limits for the first time since a 1980 visit by South Carolina. As you well know, Michigan is no stranger [...]
The $400 Magic 8-Ball
You don’t need season preview mags, Corso or Herbstreit or Mark May. You don’t need The Wolverine Football Season Preview in all of its glossy glory. You don’t need websites or weblogs or monkeys throwing darts. Everything you need to get a randomly generated pile of bullshit an accurate gaze into the [...]
Amendments to Tailgate Constitution
Nice job Franky, but you made some serious omissions. You get a pass since it’s game week #1 and I’m sure your nervous, but it would be unjust to not include the following amendments and add ons. Tailgaters, remember it is your duty to help continue making Umtailgate the fastest growing and [...]
How To Tailgate at UMTailgate.com
Well my friends the time has come. Dust off your yellow socks, the 2006 season is here. Each year I get a plethora of questions from UMTailgate.com rookies on what you should do about food, drinks, etc, so I have rehashed an old post from before the start of the 2004 season that kind [...]
Case of the Mundys: 8/28/06
It’s game week. After a dreary weekend of weather in Ann Arbor, looks like we might get a break this weekend, with future forecasts reporting sunny skies and temps in the mid-70’s for Gameday. Of course, I have about as much faith in weather reporting as I do in the pre-season polls.
Looks like [...]
Slocum if You Got ‘Em
A couple of quick hitter news items, and I will start with the most recent, which is the campus arrival of Marques Slocum. Marques was not only part of the #2 SI.com ranked recruiting class of 2005, he was the feature of it. Slocum had some issues with some standardized tests, which Neon [...]
Can You Smell It?
The more I read, the more confused I get. I try to avoid being swayed by the pundits but it’s very difficult. I mean, their sole purpose in life this time of year is to sway. Is Ohio State’s offense really the second coming of Vince Young’s 2005 Longhorns? Will West Virginia’s schedule give them [...]
#13
With Breaston and Manningham streaking down the sidelines looking for deep balls and drawing double coverage, who will be moving the chains in the middle of the opponents defense? Ladies and Gents, meet Greg Mathews. He doesn’t have the speed of Teddy Ginn Jr., but he is his cousin. He doesn’t have the athleticism [...]
