Northwestern Preview

Time: 3:30
Location: Big House
Weather: 45 and No Rain
TV: FSN 1 (Brando & Gardner)
Line: Michigan -10



Michigan plays a football game on Saturday and people really don't care.  We hear tickets are less then $20 on the resale market.  Neither team is very good and Michigan is looking to become bowl eligible which is sad statement after winning a National Championship 10 months prior.  

The story lines are that Devin Gardner is on the call with a Tim Brando who is way past his prime and Michigan landed the #1 recruit in the nation yesterday.  Nobody is looking forward to the trip next week that the Wolverines have to make to a school down south.  

On a side note, if Michigan does qualify for a bowl game and gets two weeks of practices that Bryce can participate in,  I now fully support playing in the Blue Bonnet Bowl.  

Dear Sherrone, 

You have a game on Saturday you need to win.  Figure out a way to do it on senior day and let those guys have one final good memory of Michigan Football.   That is your #1 goal on Saturday.   Michigan has a struggling offense and Northwestern has a good defense.  The Over/Under is an embarassing 36 points.   Win the damn game.  

Now lets get to the other news of the week.   This year is a wrap, I don't know if there is any Ohio State Voodoo left, but it would be great to check for next week.  Nobody expects you to win that game and for some magical reason you do and ruin the Buckeyes season, all is forgiven for this season. 

Sherrone I know you understand magic because you pulled the biggest rabbit out of your hat on Thursday, landing the biggest fish in the 2025 class.  Get him signed and the playbook as he will be Michigan's starter next season. 

After next weekend, your 100% focus will be getting Bryce prepared for next season.   

To recap:

1 - Win the game on Saturday 
2 - Play hard next weekend 
3 - Get Bryce signed on 12/4 
4 - Fire Wink and turn Campbell into a full time QB coach
5 - Get Bryce ready to play next September 

In December, you will have your choice of the top DC's and OC's available.  Make some great hires and fill the holes in the roster through the portal.  

Win this off season and beat Northwestern.

I don't think I'm naive enough to believe Moore recruited Underwood to Michigan. Money Talks..

Szanreno your dead-on, UM night of had to pay more because of Moore. When Sherrone gave that bear hug to Texas coach, that's when I decided {{{WTF}}}

Fire both coordinators. I don't need Kirk Campell to be the QB coach, I need him to just leave! Wink: everybody on here knows my opinion on Wink. Winky is stinky! He's collecting a check, nothing more. His one game plan fits all doesn't work here, buh-bye!

Why were at it, and we're spending money like an NBA player at the strip club, lets go buy some more guys. Somebody of the team know Nick Marsh personally? Reach out, tell him he's just spinning his wheels in East Landfill, come on down to AA town!

Seriously I hope this works out, or if it doesn't the big balls don't shrivel into little marbles. You've seen it at other schools, make a huge splash in NIL, it doesn't quite work out and then the school goes "ah, not for us we're out". Michigan has to continue this and yes, sometimes throw good money after bed!

We already have a Marsh. Andrew Marsh. Supposed to be pretty darn good. 4 star WR.

Whether Underwood lives up to the hype is besides the point. The point is that Michigan is serious about winning, and has demonstrated the ability to land major recruits via NIL. Like it or not, these are the times we live in. Gotta pay if you want to play for Championships.
