Michigan Monday: Deep Thoughts

Yes, this is rivalry week and Michigan is coming off a bye week and MSU took a bad loses to Lovie Smith and Brandon Peters on Saturday.   Still I have some deep thoughts...…..

  • First off, rivalry pushed aside the loss of Cassius Winston's brother and now the news is breaking that former WR for MSU and the Detroit Lions Charles Rogers has passed away at 38 goes behind sports and my heart goes out to both families. 

  • LSU QB and former Buckeye Joe Burrow is having the season I had hoped for Shea Patterson.  That was a heck of a win by the Tigers on Saturday. 

  • Is Michigan going to go all season without playing at 3:30? Update: Michigan @ IU now at 3:30. 

  • I wonder which Bowl Michigan is going to play Florida in?  Please no

  • OSU has played an un-believable easy schedule, they have Rutgers this weekend.  Their hardest road game all year, has been what at Nebraska or Indiana?

  • Does Michigan have a Hyberbaric Chamber and is Franz Wagner hand in it for 20 hours a day?

  • I still don't know if Minnesota is good or that Big Ten teams just can't play on the road.   It looked like James Franklin made some coaching mistakes in that game.  Minnesota goes to Iowa this weekend and will host Wisconsin.  It will be interesting to see if Golden Gophers can get through those 2 games.   So the odds are that the Golden Gophers will make the Big Ten Championship game before Michigan.  Come on, man. 

  • The Chase Young situation is starting to look like a setup with the NCAA.  Funny how something that happened almost a year ago is now an issue.  There are reports now he might only miss 2 games (not against PSU and U of M) but Maryland and Rutgers.  This reminds me of the time Auburn suspended Cam Newton for just a Tuesday for possibly taking a couple hundred grand from a booster.

  • App. State beat South Carolina this week (who beat Georgia).  I just don't understand why AD's not follow my rules, #2 is never schedule App. State. 

  • Arkansas fired their head coach on Sunday after losing to Western Kentucky and being 2-8 this season.  Remember when our AD paid Arkansas millions of dollars to cancel the home and home series? Solid investment there Warde. 

  • MAC Action on Tuesday has been moved up a couple hours due to a possible winter storm. 

  • I don't know what happened on Saturday will motivate Sparty or crush them.  I think either is possible.  No matter what, MSU is dangerous as hell for the Wolverines on Saturday.

Bob, stop it with MSU being dangerous. I don't think they are that threatening as they have been in the past.....

Prayers and thoughts goes out to the families.....

Michigan 38 MSU 10

Agreed... losing at home to a rival that has depth chart issues everywhere and trouble finishing games is ridiculous.... especially when osu comes later on... if Msu is dangerous as hell than what is osu? We are coming off a bye and i am not sure how they will be able to consistently run the ball... Msu has extremely young players at the left guard and center postions.... our d line has improved enough to be able to deal with that... (they better)... this would lead me to think that Their Qb will have to make several big plays to beat us... cant see that with the pressure that he will face....only Harbaugh could lose this game....

I think they could be dangerous because their season is basically lost. A win against Michigan would help rectify an otherwise lost and very disappointing season. I have a feeling this will be their best game of 2019.

Very interesting read, I like the point you made about Patterson...I thought he would be like the "son of savior"(Harbaugh), and kick butt...he's okay, but not as good as we hoped.... Ohio State, on the other hand, got an exceptional QB from Georgia... sometimes it seems like the only kind of luck we get is bad Luck!

Died at 38.... they seldom list the cause anymore...

Hebstreit (spelling?), said that Michigan could make the Ohio State game interesting... it would be nice, but I expect another servere ass-whipping.
