The Hammer:
I’m willing to concede that Minnesota’s offense will be a stiffer test than Wisconsin’s. They have more balance and a somewhat less predictable attack. With that being said, their defense should be no match. I’ll give the Gophers 17 points but we’re dropping 31. This will be another game that frustrates me at [...]

Prior to the domination that was our game against Notre Dame, I interviewed ex-Wolverine baseball player Bobby Scales. In a crazy round-a-bout fashion, we are now joined by Andy Kropf, Atlanta native and childhood friend of Bobby Scales. Andy’s baseball career took him to Vanderbilt University where he played briefly with Mark Prior (before Prior [...]

We’ve crossed over mid-week and I’m feeling pretty confident. I just can’t see coming back here without the jug. There’s an empty spot in Schembechler Hall without it. I mean, it really is our jug. You know how the story goes. Lloyd tells it every year like a drunk uncle [...]

I decided to write this while we were still undefeated. That way I can bitch about this “organization” without it looking like I am whining cuz we got screwed. And don’t worry eventually we will get screwed (again) by Mr. NCAA/BCS.

4-0. Four wins. No Losses. Do you remember where you were when Michigan was last 4-0? It’s hard to believe that it was seven long years ago. There was no UMTailgate.com. Bubba and Stephen’s consecutive game streak stood at a paltry 29 games, and it was three games before [...]

The Wolverines fell behind for the first time this season, and posted their first scoreless quarter of the season in the first quarter on Saturday. At the half it was a worrisome 10-10 tie. The inevitable let down game was upon us. The 111,000+ on hand to see the team that dominated [...]

I usually don’t use this platform for discussion of events not pertaining to Michigan or sports in general, but the news today is so amazing, so groundbreaking, and so profound, that it may unite and define a generation. Not only that, but it may effect the next Fast Food Theme tailgate….
MCDONALD’S MAY START SERVING [...]

The Hammer:
The real season begins Saturday! And much like the first three games, the Wolverines will come out victorious. Pay back game number two will certainly produce a more difficult challenge than the pathetic job the
Irish attempted to complete in South Bend. The Badgers have a tough defense and should provide our toughest test to [...]

Where are you people?! Are you satisfied with last week? Are you thinking
to yourself “wow that was a great season?!” have you forgotten that it’s
only September 22nd?! Did you leave your passion in South Bend, or
Stevensville, or Riverview, or New York, or wherever you watched the game?!
Do you not think Wisconsin will provide a test?! [...]

There wasn’t any question from my co-workers this weekend as to which school I attended. (Not that there had ever been any question) Needless to say I was fired up before kickoff and through the entire game. Pints of PBR kept me company as I tried to pop in on the graphic designer, on-line editor [...]
