Well, we know only Ohio State went down in a football game that I hope all the Wolverines watched. Why you ask? Not because both teams remain on Michigan's schedule (that is a good enough reason to watch) but Wisconsin gave us all a text book example on how to upset a highly ranked team at home. The young Wolverines need to take that class and read that book a couple of times.
Back to my list of things I learned on Saturday that was strangely educational:
- For the young Wolverines, the more things change the more they stay the same.
- Illinois is an improving team and out played Michigan State for close to 3 quarters but couldn't score touchdowns.
- Michigan State seems to be a team dedicated to not beating themselves. They just wait for the other team to make a mistake and then win the game.
- The Minnesota Golden Gophers Athletic Department has a crystal ball. They started writing a press release firing Tim Brewster on Friday if he lost on Saturday. They did and he got fired.
- Michigan for the second straight year made Indiana look much better then they really are.
- Purdue always seems to play better after their first string QB goes out with an injury.
- Kenny Demens is the answer at middle linebacker for Michigan.
- Watching Michigan play this year is not good for my blood pressure
- The Michigan coaches need to spend more time at practice - the soccer team's practice.
- I'm still really upset about Devin not redshirting
- Michigan needs both Denard and Tate this year
- David Molk might be just as important to the Michigan offense as Denard is
- This ABC/ESPN mirror thing is strange. I had the Michigan game on both ABC and ESPN channels. I can't get Texas and Nebraska?
- Speaking of Nebraska, I was real worried about them joining the Big Ten last week, now I feel better.
- I would like to see a replay of the Auburn - Arkansas game.
- The Big Ten champ this year might have 1 or 2 losses.
- My lucky shirt from week 1-5 isn't lucky anymore.
- Those new Tech Fit jersey's didn't look any different
- Michigan's defense can make an average offense look good.
- Greg Robinson might not be the answer at DC. Even I knew the draw was coming on 3rd -16 and the whole Ezeh - Demens thing is mystifying.
- Michigan should put their starting offense line in for field goals. Big Will blocking? I know he was an offensive lineman in high school but come on. Iowa had their first team defense line in.
