Wolverine Wednesday: Pre-Turkey News and Notes

Its nice to have a quiet week prior to the big game.  Even the NCAA leakers have taken a vacation week.  


Michigan Basketball is currently in the Bahamas at the Atlantis Resort.  They take on Memphis today at 5:00.  ESPN 2

  • EMU and Bowling Green are now bowl eligible (BGSU has 7 wins)
  • Per Brett McMurphy there are still 14 open spots and 23 teams still trying to get to 6 wins to qualify for a Bowl Game.  If those 14 spots are not filled, RR's JAX State and JMU can fill those spots. 
  • #1 Player in the 2025 class and 5 Star local QB Bryce Underwood is trending towards LSU, which is not a surprise.  Bryce is questionable to attend the game on Saturday.
  • Illinois DL's Newton and Randolph both have declared for the NFL Draft.  Newton who is expected to be a top 10 pick, will skip the Bowl Game but play in Illinois final game this weekend.   I'm a bit shocked that Illinois had such a good defensive line and a losing record.  Illinois has to beat Northwestern this weekend to become bowl eligible. 
  • Urban Meyer says he has the scoop on Harbaugh.  On one hand, I don't trust anything Urban Meyer says (mostly on the topic of Harbaugh), on the other hand, nobody knows how to side step an investigation like the master Urban Meyer.   I still don't understand why Fox and BTN keeps that clown employed. 
  • Funny to me how the NCAA is conducting this investigation like its Watergate, while other Big Ten AD's are saying that the NCAA will be going away and the big conferences will be its own entity.  
  • Roman Wilson is partnering with Ann Arbor's Drip House to raise money for his hometown, Maui. 

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone! I'm continuedly blessed to have each one of you here everyday, as I share my thoughts and frustrations on the best program in college football.

Mark Furman was the corrupted cop who's malfeasance allowed a guilty OJ to go free. Yes, networks still use that fool for his "law enforcement" experience. Urban Meyer is the Furman of football....a total dbag, discredited at every stop....yet continues to be used for his experience. He should dissapear and never be heard from again! Urban's source would be the corrupted side. The real insiders at UM say there's no there there....the worse has been disclosed. Urban is a dbag and is probably right now in some university hangout trying to score with a coed.

Urban Meyer is many things...but a "clown" he is not.

Urban Meyer give the best insight into the Xs + Os, technique, strategy, and game plan - better than anyone on TV. He's exceptional.

I cannot stand Urban Meyer because he cajoled the refs like a cad at a college bar at 2 am. But it won him many games.
