Michigan Friday: News and Notes

  • Michigan was interested in tall IU wide receiver Donaven McCulley last off season when he entered the transfer portal.  He decided to give the new coach a shot and stayed in Bloomington.  Now, he is back in the portal and looking for a new team next season.  Donovan is 6'5 and many programs have reached out already, including the Maize and Blue!
  • Michigan is on the Joe Moore Award mid-season list again.  Not sure how, as this has not been a very good offense line this season.  I would also continually like to point out, that award is a curse.  Michigan wins it 2 years in a row and gets beat in the CFP semi's, Washington wins it last year and loses in the National Championship Game.  Michigan did not win the Joe Moore last season (and you know what happened). 
  • Before I did the Big Ten Picks on Thursday's, I used to identify which games Michigan fans should watch to scout our opponents.  Since this week is a no stress bye week.  Here are my recommendations:
    1. Ohio State @ Oregon 
    2. Purdue @ Illinois
    3. Northwestern @ Maryland (tonight)
  • Ok Tigers, get the next one! 
  • Purdue's QB is now out against Illinois, which is not good news for the Boilermakers in game #2 above.   
  • Are you getting optimistic about Michigan Basketball?  I'm starting to feel it. 
  • I'm always for the coaches hitting the road recruiting, but not sure how this team is going to get better with the coaches at high school games?  Lets hope Tuttle is throwing with his WR's, TE's, and RB's non-stop.

Bob, it's not going to get better. Nothing has improved from week one. In fact, it's gotten worse. Now we have Michigan staffers yelling at the fans in Washington. If this isn't the same as the Shane Morris concussion incident, then we are getting close.

Does Sherrone have enough brain cells in his head to start David for 5 of remaining games. I believe he was a lap dog for Harbaugh and is lost without him. So, do we go 6-6 and lose to Mac team in Bowl then were 6-7? Do they still have Pizza bowl in Detroit ....yikes? How far we have fallen. "NFL Lite" bites the big one, I miss the days when pride was the only thing. How long before pretty girls start charging guys to date them, are we close to dogs and cats becoming couples?

What Michigan should we looking for? Are cornerbacks not receivers?.... Berry and Hill are two of the worst cornerbacks in the country

They can't even cover themselves with a blanket if it was cold outside

Bob you should have done a write up, Michigan vs the bye week. Could have been very entertaining.

If I'm a free agent WR, I'm not coming to a team without a QB, sorry! Tuttle's done after this year, so who's the QB next year? Jadyn Davis? Coooool, give him some snaps. Jack Tuttle's not getting us into the CFP, so you're playing for a BS bowl game. Get Davis a series or 2 a game and let him get some live game action. And if he blows, hit the TP HARD!

ScottyDoggs said...

That's Davis .... excuse me for living!

MichiganMan said...

I have been saying since week 3...but once Michigan hit four lost...gave the ball over J. Davis...let him do his THAANNGG!

Blue for life

At the very least, give a series or 2 per game. Tuttle's done after this year. I can't see them ever going back to Davis Warren and the only way Alex Orji is lining up with a winged helmet is if he's a RB, TE, or LB.

Chowman said...

Brady, yeah when you start letting the opposition fans get in your head, you're done!
