We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Yeah, my buddy (UM grad) told me the "OL couldn't block the cast of Glee." Quite the indictment. :lol:

Yeah was not a thing of beauty, of course Coach Hoke said the practice before the line and backs were good - so never can tell I guess.

But UM's DC did not hold back (though obviouslly neither squad showed everything andd were pretty vanilla) and brought constant pressure, the D will definitely yhave to be the hero early on.

Not sure I understand? Are you asking who is winning the position, or how is Devin Gardner looking?

Well I think he is still getting used to the Nuss offense, and he is jekyl and hyde. When under pressure he is still doing some bad retreats with his back to the LOS, but he is throwing it away now - which I know sounds bad but is good in comparison to the sack or pick. He will be the starter I have no doubt, and can hurt an opponent with his arms and legs...heck his yards per game were better than Braxton Miller's last year. The question is can he make smart decisions this year.

Poooo on that, the New Michigan offense is simple and the new OC will go back to Old UM football.
first down RUN,
Second down, RUN
Third Down, Run

and then UM will throw a few passes to the All american WR

Well of course we are going to try and run, and against your smaller (at least in quantity) win the war of attrition. But if they cannot runblock which has been a problem then Devin will be self-creating and passing a lot.

Don't get sucked in by IGG. Now that his favorite whipping boy has moved on, he's looking for someone or something new to direct his negativity towards.
