- Munchie Legaux a 2010 QB from New Orleans who continued to have Michigan in his top 5 after Gardner and Jones had committed to the Wolverines picked Colorado on Monday. There was zero chance Munchie was coming to Michigan with Tate, Denard and Devin in the mix. I also watched him at the Disney 7 on 7 last summer and his QB skills seemed very raw.
- Bill Martin pushed a couple of students working in the Regents area of the Press Box on two separate occasions. Bill was trying to get in with out a pass.
- 2010 recruit Drew Dileo says Michigan is interested in him returning punts.
- If you haven't noticed Morgan Trent has been getting some time for the first place Cincinnati Bengals and has been playing pretty well in Nickel situations. The problem is the TV announcers keep calling him Trent Morgan.
- 2010 Safety recruit Bobby Swigert picked Boston College over Michigan and Stanford.
- Here comes the Michigan should have hired other coaches articles: Jim Harbaugh and Brian Kelly. Those are two good coaches and both might have done a fine job at Michigan, but I'm not sure even those guys could of worked a miracle with the talent that was left on the team after Lloyd Carr rode into the sunset. Jim never would have gotten the job after throwing Michigan under the bus a number of times and there is a reason why Brian Kelly doesn't keep getting these jobs at big time programs (I just don't know what it is?).
- Think RR is going to be fired if/when they miss a bowl game for the second straight year? Bill Martin, says no. "He's not going anyplace," Martin said of Rodriguez, who replaced Lloyd Carr, who retired after the 2007 season following 13 years as head coach.
"Rich is an outstanding coach. There is no question he's got my total support. I think the world of that guy. Is he perfect in every respect? Nobody is. But he works hard. He'll get it right."
Martin and Rodriguez shared an emotional moment together after Saturday's 38-36 loss to Purdue, which won at Michigan Stadium for the first time since 1966.
"It was a very emotion-filled time for Rich and myself after the game," said Martin, who said the Purdue loss was particularly hard to bear. "He helped me, I helped him (after the game). I think this loss was hard on all of us. It was hard on Rich, it was hard on me.
"But this guy is a winner. This guy's not used to losing."

There comes a point in time with teams and athletes of talent that have fallen on difficult times, when they are knocked down to the ground just one time too many. Then when that happens, those of strong character will somehow pick themselves up and come back with everything that they've got and will find some way to win. Those of weaker character will admit that they've been beaten and so they roll over and give up.
This Purdue game appears to be that occassion when this team and coaching staff have been knocked down just one time too many. Under extremely difficult conditions we will see what this team is truly made up. The next two games are certainly winable, but very difficult.
I'd like to think that Michigan will pick itself up and come out strong. This is the time when the coaches will earn their money and encourage their youngsters to act like men of strong character. I believe they can salvage this season in strong fashion.
I hope your right. The seniors deserve a bowl game and a win against OSU.
Let's hope the time is now for them to step up.
Seriously Bob, where do you get your info?...oh wait I know. Nice perusal of mgoblog and the newspapers. Offer something origina...oops sorry, that is just code for more of your negative BS.
Morgan Trent is doing great in the NFL. All the Michigan haters are probably missing him a lot right about now. I always loved this kid and I knew the horrible coaching he had last year really hurt him. Glad he's doing great for the Bengals.
Go Blue!
