Okay I left off after the Notre Dame game. Michigan is 3-0. Next is a possibilty of a loss against Wisconsin.

Wisconsin

Last year Wisconsin beat Michigan ending any chance of a Rose Bowl if they lost to Ohio State(which they did). This year Wisconsin looks alot like they did last year exept weaker. I'll say a Michigan win. But possibly an injury or a sloppy game. That leaves alot of worries for they're next opponent..........the Illini.

Michigan                               Wisconsin

35                                             24

Illinois is next

This game worries me.  Juice Williams like it or not, is probably a top 8 heisman choice. I'm sure Rich Rod knows how to deal with mobile guys but this isn't just a mobile guy. Thats why i'll say the Illini win this one.

Michigan                            Illini

21                                      31

Next. Toledo

Ah finally a break after all this hard work. Coming off a loss to the Illini the Wolverines will be eager and attackful. Too attackful. They'll trail early but in the 2nd half they'll put the Rockets down. Oh that was close...

Mich                     Toledo

24                           10

So here we are currently 5-1(1-1) Probably on the 25. Cant be any higher than 16 or so.

 

Side Notes

I'm predicting Michigan WR Greg Jackson so far to be having a 2nd/3rd Team ALL-BIG TEN season.

 

I think SR Terrance Taylor, SR Tim Jamison, and JR Brandon Graham will be having 2nd to 3rd Team All-Big 10 seasons. By now Taylor will have about 18 tackles and 3 sacks.

 

 

Jamison will have about 20 tackles 4 sacks.

Graham will have about 28 tackles and maybe a sack.

Sophmore CB Donavan Warren will be having a 1st Team All-Big 10 season.

 

About 60 days away on August 30 the Utah Utes will play the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House.

 Records won't be in play yet. The teams will be 0-0.The Utes last year were 9-4(5-3)Michigan was 9-4(6-2). Michigan Stadium will likely be packed after last season ended on a good(not great) note after beating the Heisman winner Tim Tebow in Florida in the Capital One Bowl. Alot of things will change. No Mike Hart. No Chad Henne. No Mario Manningham. No Jake Long. No Lloyd Carr. And from what I here no Nike. A spread offense. But at least one thing will be the same. It's Opening day at Michigan Stadium. Last year's opening day was a shock, and an eye opener.

I predict this years opening day will be the opposite. It will likely be a solid defeat. I'll say because of the holes in the Michigan defense the score will be

Utah                           Michigan

27                                38

Next game, Sept, 6. Miami(ohio).

This wont be as close. Miami only one 1 game outside of it's conference. Michigan's D will clamp down.

Miami(ohio)                           Michigan(2-0)

10                                             
35

Two victories to start the season. Next is the big challenge. Notre Dame ended the season with 2 wins and has a great recruiting class. Jimmy Clausen might just start to develope this year.

I'll say Michigan wins but not quite as easy as it was last year.

Notre Dame                            Michigan(3-0)

24                                             
    28

So I've got Michigan Starting 3-0. Stay tuned for part 2,3, and 4.

 

 

5 QB's Ten Years Down the road. Let's start with the best.

Matt Ryan.AKA-Solid Tall, strong , smart, likable guy. 10 years from now He'll be the starting QB for the Dolphins. The Dolphins seasons will slowly improve with time and Matt will get much of the credit then after 5 years of rebuilding he'll lead the phins to a division title and a Conference championship loss. 3 years of stead football later he'll be in the Super Bowl losing. Next season they'll be 9-7 and loose in wild card play. Next year will be similar.

Overall:

Pro Bowls-3

Super Bowls-1(lost)

All Pro-2

Stats 162 TDs 71 INTS

NEXT

Chad Henne AKA Late bloomer.He'll be QB for the Baltimore Ravens. After the retirement of Steve McNair after next season Chad will once again battle Troy Smith but this time for playing time. After a 1.5 years of Troy, Chad will take over and for the .5 of the season look solid. After 2 years of shakyness he'll be on the hot seat. Over the next 5 years he'll improve to lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory in 4 playoff apperances.

Overall

Pro Bowls-2

Super Bowls-1(win)

All Pro-0

Stats 103 TDs 51 INTs

LAST

Colt Brennan AKA-SurpriseAfter being picked up by the Bears he'll be put in as a starter after 2 years of Grossman/Orton/Griese musical QBs. He'll shine. He'll shock. He will surprise. He'll immediately lead them to a playoff apperance, the following year a conference title game loss. Then the next year a wild card loss. Then the next year a clutch Super Bowl victory. After 3 more years of first round exits he'll win the big one again. He's gonna be somebody.

Overall

Pro Bowls-4

Super Bowls-2(wins)

All Pro-3

Stats 189 TDs 101 INTs

 

 

 

 

 

Let's face it. The Media looooooooooves Tyler Hansbrough. And why shouldn't they. 23 points a game. 10 rebounds a game. 4 offensive rebounds a game. Draws a lot of chargers. National Player of the Year(pretty much all of them). But some say he gets all this treatment because he's white and if say.......Beasley was white he'd be National Player of the Year and the Media would love him.

 

Jake Long is a 6-7 300 pound beast. He's the best offensive linemen in Michigan history. One of the best in Big Ten11 history. Jake Long has been getting a lot of attention on NFL.com draft section. He has around 7-8 videos about him. I think it's because he's the best OT in the draft. Some say it's cause he's white. And lets say uh........a certain one of these guys isn't because he's black.(can you guess which one it is)

Chris Long is a monster, soldier, a whole army. But he's getting loads of attention that some say..............Vernon Gholston might deserve.

 

Tebow wins the heisman. McFadden doesn't. One annoncer describes him as "a guy you'd want to marry your daughter."

 

Here are some responses I've gotten.

 

Yes, sadly in this day and age it is true I mean consider how Barry Bonds has been treated in the steroids affair and how Roger Clemens is being treated. Seriously, Clemens had some on field issues i.e. throwing the bat at Piazza which you can't say of Bonds. Another example is when Ben Roethelsberger got hurt riding a motorcycle as did Kellen Winslow how was that handled? There are several are many examples of similar behavior being treated much differently. Too much to mention here maybe if I was getting a degree in sociology or communications I might have good subject matter for a dissertation. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
```````````````` Yes they do, The media is waiting for a black players to screw up, act stupid, or join the slappaho tribe. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
`````````````````` Of course they are. Tyler Hansborough get all this attention not just because he is good but because he is good and white. Not to many talented white players coming out of college, when there is one than of course he is going to draw attention. Same for football especially when it's not the QB position. I think since there isn't a lot coming out it's more impressive to the media when one does have the talent. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````` Yea, hust look at the Leinhart story. It's treated as a boys will be boys. If he was black it would be viewed as a...well how the vikings were treated after their cruise. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
`````````````````````````  No i think they're treated the same but on who you think is better is partly wrong. McFadden is FAR better at RB than Tebow is at QB McFadden has been cheated out of Hiesman for two straight years, you could ask the LSU Tigers who was a bigger threat! B-Ez is easily better than Tyler, he has better stats & if you compare UNC's talent not counting Hansborough to K-State's talent not counting Beasley, B-Ez elevated his team's gameplay far more than Tyler did with UNC. Take Tyler from UNC & their still a top 10 team, take Michael Beasley from K-State & they don't even make the NIT let alone the tourney.

But no doubt Jake Long is the best O-lineman in the draft & Chris Long>Vernon. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
````````````````````` Thats a load of ####. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
```````````````````` I think they're treated equally. Some black athletes (Henry, Vick, Pacman) give the rest a bad name with the media. They don't understand that they can't live the #### lifestyle anymore, with all the people watching them like they do. The media reports on whatever stories it gets, about any athlete, black or white. Look at Leinar story. He was partying with some girls, and it became a story. If he was doing something illegal, then he'd be in the same boat as Pacman or Henry. It's the choices that the athletes make that gives them the type of media attention they receive ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
`````````````````````` Yes.. sad, but true Hun. The Black players have to be near Perfect in everything off the field.. the white player does not... #### Bu*t, but thats why theyre called the Minority, because everything is unfortunately control by us, if it were reversed, im sure yould see alot of Matt Leinart, Tom Brady having a baby out of wedlock, if that were Donovan Mcnabb who knocked sum chic up then broke up with her, i dont think it would have been forgotten quite so fast, Jeremy Shockey, and Bill Walton, when he was in college acting like idiots. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````` Yes..look at Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire. I think Peyton Manning mooned somebody in college ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
````````````````````` Just the nature of the question #### me off. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
`````````````````````` BY THE WAY i didn't write that cowboys song.
