The Rock Band Journy released a song in July of 1981 called "Who's crying now". The first part of the lyrics go as follows:
It's been a mystery
And still they try to see
Why something good can hurt so bad
There isn't much mystery with Michigan Football this year. The offense and special teams are stacked with playmakers and All Americans. Michigan not only has 1 good QB, they have 2. There are some questions marks at DE and LB after loses to the NFL but Michigan just plucked a former 5 star out of the portal weeks ago. Michigan has all the signs of a very good football team that should be able to compete at the highest levels.
Colorado State is just the opposite with 59 new players and a completely new coaching staff. Jay Norvell came over from Nevada and brought in some of his former players and pulled guys out of the portal to run his Air Raid Offense. Clay Millen was the back-up QB at Nevada last year as a true freshman and transferred to CSU with Norvell. He is a red-shirt freshman now and will make his first start in the Big House. Norvell also brought with him 2 WR's from Nevada in Horton and Stovall. So the offense might not have as many growing pains as we thought, they are just running the Norvell's system at Nevada.
Dear Jimmy,
It's been about 9 months since my last letter. I thought about stopping these but let's face it, they worked last year. You have your best team that you've had at Michigan. You have depth, talent, and speed. It seems speed is something that has been lacking in Ann Arbor for many years and this team has it. You've done a nice job in the portal and this team is primed to be contender again for another Big Ten Championship. Managing the expectations might be a bit of a problem, but I assume you continue to let this team know that they haven't accomplished anything yet. That starts on Saturday at noon.
You know I like stories and I will remind you of the last time a Michigan team entered the season within the top 10 and came away with a crushing loss. I know you weren't the Michigan coach and that was another time, but the lesson is still valid. Never underestimate your opponent and always be ready to play. CSU is a mystery wrapped in a riddle with a high-powered offense. You have no idea what to expect and the new defense personnel will be tested and tested often. I expect to see a ton of Will Johnson on the field against the Air Raid. You will also need to pressure the daylights out of the freshman QB.
You have a great punter but I don't expect to see him at any point during the game. Score TD's, rush the passer, and defend the pass and you'll be in good shape. Play Michigan Football and make sure the team is prepared physically and mentally to win. If you do those things, you will have the outcome you want. Go Blue and welcome back to the Big House as Big Ten Champions.
Michigan 51 CSU 17

Go Western! Beat Sharty!!
Amazing how that App State game haunts us to this day! The more we are favored, the more we think back to App State.
No thanks to RG3 being a commenter on ABC. He’s painful.
