Michigan Monday: Game Week and Predict The Score Contest

It's finally here - Game Week.  The Wolverines will suit up and play football on Saturday night.  No, it's not ND or Alabama its Middle Tennessee State which will finally give the Wolverines a nice tune up game prior to Army and a trip to Wisconsin.   We will of course do our regular game preview on Friday.   I'm sure going to enjoy researching MTS this week!

Now on to the important stuff.   Our Game 1 predict the score contest is back!   Let's get to the prize first:

Braylon Edwards with Tom VanHaaren has a new book out called Doing it My Way.  The good people Triumph Books and Independent Publishers Group will send the winner a copy of Braylon's book.   If you want to buy the book which releases on 9/10, here is the Amazon  link.

As I'm sure you know, TomVH works for ESPN and does a great job with recruiting coverage.  Tom paid his dues working his way through Michigan Blogs and we support our own around here!   He also recently authored The Road to Ann Arbor. 

Braylon doesn't need any introduction to Michigan fans.  He went to Rose Bowls, single handedly beat Michigan State, and even had a few disagreements with Coach Carr.    When you talk about Michigan Legacy, the Edwards family has it.   The father Stan Edwards of course was a Michigan and NFL WR, which lead to Braylon staring at U of M, and then of course Berkley recently played for the Wolverines in his graduate transfer year.  As we all know, whether it was in Ann Arbor or the NFL, Braylon did it his way. 

Now for the contest rules:

• Pick the score and email your prediction to thebighouseblog@hotmail.com
• The first email with the closest to the final score will win
• I will take entries up to 7:00 PM on Saturday night 7/31/2019

Let's have some fun with this and one lucky Big House Blog reader will get a free book!  

--------

• Caris LeVert was once committed to a MAC school and then Coach Beilein found him.  Yesterday was his 25th birthday and Caris signed a $52.5 Million extension to his rookie contract with the Brooklyn Nets where he will star with KD and Kyrie.  Well done Caris! 

• Jim Harbaugh has coached a number of players that have ended up in the NFL.  His highest profile QB Andrew Luck called it a career on Saturday due to multiple injuries over the past 4 years.  

• College Football was back on Saturday night and even though it was a close game, the Florida - Miami game seemed to have more mistakes then points.   Florida did all they could to hand the victory to Miami and the Hurricanes refused to take it.   The Gators looked nothing like the team that beat the Wolverines in the Peach Scrimmage in January.   The Hurricanes have serious offensive line issue and gave up a season worth of sacks in one game.  

• Wisconsin has named Jack Coan the starter for Friday's game in Tampa against USF.  Jack will get to face Don Brown's defense in a few weeks. 

• Speaking of Wisconsin (former) QB's Alex Hornibrook was named the back-up for Florida State. 

• Former Wolverine RB Kareem Walker has not joined Mississippi State yet due to some academic issues.
