A week and change on from the national title, attention now turns to the basketball program what Team 145 is going to look like. This may be an exercise in futility since there's a distinct chance that Jim Harbaugh takes an NFL job this offseason, throwing everything into a mild state of higgeldy-piggeldy. But they'd probably just plug in Sherrone Moore, avoid significant portal departures, and be more or less the same minus a predilection for weird press conferences. So. QUARTERBACK O...

Lost in the shuffle of the pre-Rose Bowl noise was the commitment of Northwestern offensive lineman Josh Priebe to Michigan out of the transfer portal:  Excited for the next chapter!

Late last week I put out a post on the message board asking for questions for a mailbag, as I haven't done one since the summer and now seems like a good time to fit one in. To no one's surprise, nearly all of the questions were football related. I picked the best 14 questions and if yours wasn't chosen, better luck next time. I did my best to pick as many good ones as possible, but there is never enough space for them all. Two quick notes on question topics: 1.) there were a lot ...

FIRST OFF: DUNNO. Give or take Matt Hibner, who stopped playing in order to maintain a redshirt and transfer somewhere next year, Michigan is the last P5 team without someone in the transfer portal. This obviously isn't going to last, but I mention it because that fact combined with the peak COVID-shirt year means just about anyone could come back, or leave, for 2024. Michigan only definitively loses six contributors: Cornelius Johnson, Cam Goode, Mike Barrett, Mike Sainristil, Josh Wallace...

There was little fanfare in this year's edition of the Battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy. No heart-stopping endings, nor brutality in the catacombs of the stadium afterwards, just a total beatdown by one team of the other. Michigan State did reasonably well against the run but got eviscerated by Michigan's passing offense no matter who the QB was. In the process, Michigan defeated Michigan State 49-0 in a margin that was exceptional for the history of the rivalry and the game itself wa...
