Cell Block News and Notes: Monday's Edition


  • The Wolverines are going to get stronger with one of the best Strength and Conditioning programs coming to Ann Arbor. This was a very important hire and maybe ranks right up there with retaining Fred Jackson. Michigan's S&C program is so outdated that they just removed that Big Belt Shaking Machine (that goes around your waist) just last week.

  • I don't know about you, but I haven't seen a lot of Pennsylvania High School games this year. So I wasn't sure about all the hype around Terelle Pryor. Well folks, after watching the Army All American Game on Saturday, I can say this guy is the real deal "Holyfield". The experts are saying it's down to the Buckeyes, Wolverines, and Ducks. Terrelle, if you don't come to Ann Arbor (Please Do!), for goodness sake please choose Oregon!

  • In other news and notes from the game: Boubacar gave up a number of long touchdowns but did have a couple of good plays, Sam McGuffile did have a nice 33 yard run, and Brandon Smith a Safety out of NJ did commit to the Wolverines.
  • Most of the Defensive Coaches are staying in Morgantown but most of the Offensive ones are coming: Offensive coordinator Calvin Magee planned to join former coach Rich Rodriguez at Michigan right from the start, while quarterbacks coach Rod Smith and Greg Frey made their decisions Friday to also join Rodriguez.


Tonight's Dilemma: Root for the Big Ten or a Michigan Man (who is planning to have a news conference before the game to announce he isn't coming to Michigan and that he has a damn good football team)? Either way, I hope for an entertaining game. I think LSU (basically) at home is going to be a tough game for OSU to win. The Buckeye's passing game has been non-existent the last few weeks of the season and LSU's D will stack the line to stop Beanie. The OSU Defense are no slouches either. This could be a defensive battle. The difference will be LSU's experience playing against talented, high powered teams. LSU 21 OSU 10
