There are times when we joke that the tailgate outshined the performance on the field. Saturday, that would’ve been an understatement. But that’s not a fair comparison. Twelve freshman saw the field for the Maize and Blue on Saturday…10 men and women over the age of fifty helped set up tents and cooked some food. [...]

The Tailgate Wins Again
Reality Bites
Somewhere in your mind, past the place where Michigan fanhood clouds your better judgment, past the place where hope kills all common sense…you knew. It really is a rebuilding year. And the reality is that in the near future, no matter what this team does to grow and learn, it would take a miracle of [...]
Return of the Utes
The co-architects of one of the worst football contests has returned to avenge their 10-7 defeat at the hands of our fair Wolverines.
No preview today, we’re cooking (huge cop out)…but here are some fun facts/bullet points:

Check List

Behold the Power of “OR”

Lots of “or’s” on the page. Most notable? McGuffie and Shaw, connected by an “or,” sitting quiety ABOVE Minor and Brown at the running back slot. [...]

The Wolverines have rounded out what will most likely be the worst home slate since, well, 2006. The 2008 Wolverines will open the season with a spirited contest against the Utah Utes on August 30th.
This is the non-conference showdown you’ve all been waiting for. I’m sure you recall the amazing seasaw battle between these two [...]
Not So Hot
Utes With Heart
The Utah Utes, with their small corner of fans within Michigan Stadium, did everything they needed to do on Saturday. They hung around until the very end, getting within a field goal late in the fourth quarter before the Michigan defense forced a turnover to seal the victory 10-7. Just watching the game [...]
