Funny Quotes from the Michigan Press Conference Yesterday:
-A camera man asked a question to Coach Rod about facing JoPa head to head. RR responded jokingly: “Joe and I aren’t going against each other, I might be able to take him, if it is just me and him."
-Stephen Schilling on Big Will Campbell playing on the Offensive line: Sometimes he played the defensive line like an offensive lineman. He was more interested in finishing blocks then making the tackle.
- The Daily Gopher profiles a "Michigan Man" Brady Hoke for their open head coaching position. I didn't realize the job he has done at San Diego State. He is currently 5-2 with a win over Air Force and played Missouri within 3 points and was leading in the 4th quarter.
- Kelvin Grady was interviewed for ESPN's GameDay on Monday for his twitter use.
- Denard is a semi-finalist for Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award. There are 15 other semi-finalists as well.
- I know many of you have questions on what qualifies for a medical redshirt for Devin Gardner. #1 he can't play more then 30% of the games in a season, with all participation being in the first half of the season. His last snaps were in the Bowling Green game. #2 He also has to have a documented injury. Currently, he has a documented back injury. At the end of the year, they have to file paperwork to the NCAA requesting a medical redshirt. I fully expect Michigan to file for the medical redshirt also commonly known as a medical hardship at the end of the season.
- The other situation is that it seems Ricardo Miller played on special teams for the UMASS game this year. Let's hope that stat is a mistake. You lose your redshirt eligibility if you play one play.
- Yes, Michigan is recruiting a place kicker. They were looking at guys in California and Maryland last week.
