"A decision is coming pretty soon," Hart said. "I'm going next week to see Auburn-Clemson. Most likely that will be an official, but I don't know yet. I'll get out to Alabama probably for the Alabama-Florida game [Oct. 2]." "I'd say Michigan is out front," Hart said.
- For the weird file: Steven Threet gets to play Wisconsin again this weekend. What's weird about it, is the last time Threet played Wisconsin he was playing for Michigan and upsetting the ranked Badgers at Michigan Stadium. Some of you still might remember that 10 minute run Steven had down the sideline to help win the game that day. This weekend Threet will quarterback the Arizona State Sun Devils in Madison on Saturday. Ironically, Wisconsin is highly ranked again coming in at #12. Steve threw for 392 yards against Northern Arizona last Saturday. This will be the Sun Devils first real test of the year.
- An update on Sam McGuffie: I wish him well but he seems to be struggling again this year at running back for Rice. In two games he has 28 attempts for 65 yards which is a 2.32 average per rush. He does have a catch for a touchdown and has caught 5 passes for 84 yards.
- For those that think Saturday is going to be a cake walk, think again: UMass is ranked #16 in the FCS Poll. "We're excited to go out there and represent UMass,'' Minutemen coach Kevin Morris said. "We're facing a storied program, and we know that, but we're going out there to win. We're putting everything on the table, like we always do.''
- Light Up the Big House! The regents will vote on Thursday to add permanent lights to Michigan Stadium. The cost will be $1.8M and the athletic department will cover the cost for the project. Michigan will host ND next year for the first night game at the Big House and there will be a hockey game in the Big House this winter.
- With the recent attrition, Michigan can sign up to 20 players right now for the 2011 class. This might add a spot for another RB (other then Dee Hart of course) and maybe another WR.
- Michigan recruit Kris Frost will make an official visit to North Carolina this weekend. He is still planning a Michigan official for the Michigan State game.
- Anthony Lalota did not make the trip to ND this past weekend. Another sign he wasn't putting in the work during practice to get playing time. It seems the offense line might be a better fit for this young man.
- Denard's historic run went for 87 yards against ND. Michigan lost Ron Kramer on Saturday who wore #87. I'm just saying! (HT: Mgoblog)
