I thought this would have picked up a little more steam throughout the day after it appeared in the Freep and on AA.com. Â This is a tough one. Â I mean, Braylon was that feel good story, an under-recruited legacy who came out of the dog house and into the #1 jersey…and he single handedly led [...]

Building A Bigger Wall
Noooooooooooooooo. No. No. No. No. No.
Hmmm. This speaks for itself, and you know where I stand.
If you see Izzo, tell him I’ll be cheering him,” Carr said of Michigan State Coach Tom Izzo. “He and Jud Heathcote, those are two of the best guys in the game.
And…
I think he’s real,†Carr said of Izzo. “I think there’s no airs and [...]
Just A Little Taste
It’s been a long autumn. If you missed the trip to Minnesota (which based on the crowd there, you did) then your last viewed sliver of positivity as a Michigan fan came on September 27th. That’s a long time ago. And this just in…you’ve got the longest wait EVER for a chance to peek at [...]
One last Thanks to LC
Last night the BTN premiered it Legends of the Big Ten, Lloyd Carr edition. The show was good but I thought this quote was important for all of you to remember:
“First, you as a Michigan Man, are a part of something that is bigger than you are. And if you don’t understand that then you don’t [...]
November 22, 1996
“It was a players game, like most of these Ohio State-Michigan games are. And it was won…on the field…by a team that believed that they could win.” – Lloyd Carr following Michigan’s 13-9 victory over previously undefeated Ohio State in 1996. Ohio State was a 17-point favorite in Columbus.
Capital One Bowl Pics
Didn’t really touch on the tailgate itself…or lack thereof. We were some tired boys on Tuesday morning. Tired and unmotivated. I guess we were just going through the motions…waiting patiently for the impending doom. We were bad fans this day. No hope. No chance.
We managed to meet up with [...]
The Perfect Storm
The game plan, the situation, the timing…There are those that put more time into the analysis of the game and to scrutinizing the recruiting process but if you watched Rich Rod’s former team Wednesday night none of that information was required to be excited about what the future holds at Michigan.
It feels like the perfect [...]
It Makes A Difference
It doesn’t matter what anyone says. Winning IS everything.
I can’t really express my pre-game feeling in words. I guess “looking ahead” would be the best way to describe it. Looking ahead to the next regime. Looking ahead to the end of the vanilla offense. Pining for the spread, and dreaming [...]
The Wrath of Carr
MLive has a play-by-play recap of the day’s events, which includes this little gem:
A source close to the situation said what was always a close call was pushed the breaking point by the two-week interval between Carr’s retirement and the SEC title game, and the combination of LSU’s hefty contract offer and the ESPN report [...]
Lloyd Lloyd Lloyd
Two long weeks have passed since Lloyd Carr, pillar of integrity, bastion of good vs. evil, and proponent of the student-athlete has retired. In those two weeks, Michigan has interviewed Ron English and Mike DeBord, and asked for permission to talk to Les Miles at LSU. Outside of that, nothing as been accomplished. [...]
