2024 Frozen Four Preview

As JJ McCarthy stood in the raining purple and black confetti on the last day of the 2022 calendar, he knew (as did a lot more of us) that if the right people wanted to give it one more go, it could be magical. Yes, they blew a really big opportunity, but there was still a lot of eligibility to be had across the program. Sure enough, almost everyone with said eligibility wanted one more shot. They got it. And, oh boy, did they make it count. 2023-24 was supposed to be about football...and it was (I still have certain items on backorder). Michigan came together, pulled out some historic victories, and finally checked ALL of the boxes in what will be (probably, at least...in SO many different ways) the most memorable season of our lifetimes, winning the National Championship. "I thought this was supposed to be a hockey piece?" you ask? Well, it is... The last time Michigan did that (1997-98, pre-Alex Drain existence), I was twelve years old. Charles Woodson won the Heisman Trophy and was only dreaming about winning a Super Bowl, making the Hall of Fame, and waving the M flag on the Fox set after beating Ohio State multiple times in a row. What else happened that next Spring? Michigan Hockey won their last National Championship. Bill Muckalt, Mark Kosick, Josh Langfeld, Mike Van Ryn...oh, and some goalie named Marty Turco knocked off the #1 team, North Dakota, at Yost in one of the most famous Michigan Hockey games ever. They followed that up by defeating New Hampshire and the hometown Boston College Eagles to win the ultimate prize. Boston College, you say? Interesting. Well, that seems coincidental. Okay... The time previous time...back in the Fall of 1947 (PRE-CRAIG ROSS!!!), Michigan Football led by Fritz Crisler's Mad Magicians of Bob Chappuis, Bump Elliott, and Al Wistert, et al, rampaged their way through the season, playing only two close games and pummeling Ohio State and USC in the Rose Bowl by a combined 70-0. Despite finishing 10-0, that team was denied a National Championship officially. So, they followed up that season by winning another nine straight games, including a stomping of Ohio State in Columbus, finishing the season #1 and winning Back to Back the National Championship(s). In between those glorious falls (the Spring of 1948), Michigan Hockey built on the success of the football program by going 20-2-1, winning their first ever Hockey National Championship. Gordon McMillan, Wally Gacek, and Al Renfrew led that team...with Connie Hill tallying a hat trick in the national semifinal against none other than...Boston College. Re-he-he-heally?? From Frozen Fours past [Patrick Barron] Some Background The last couple of years in this particular space I wrote about the history of Frozen Fours I fondly remember from the days of yore. Tales of Kevin Porter, Chad Kolarik, Carl Hegelin, Shawn Hunwick, etc. Even adding yarns about Cooper Marody and Quinn and Josh. If you start with my freshman year at Michigan as my first REAL year as a Michigan Hockey fan (I mean, kinda true...it was the first year I went to a game -a 2-0 win over MSU by the way), Michigan went to the Frozen Four in years #5, #8, and #15. That's 3 times in 15 years. Not ideal for a blue blood and the program with the most National Championships in college hockey. Now, they've gone in years: #18, #19, and #20. That's three times in three years. Very different. It's raising the bar, setting a higher standard, and maybe bringing back the days of old? Between 1992-2003, Michigan went to NINE Frozen Fours in twelve years. Okay, we're not there yet, but if you don't count the year that didn't have a tournament, we're up to four out of six. That's very close to half way... So, if we're not going to reminisce, what are we going to do? Well, who are these guys? What even is this year? First of all, Michigan returns many key pieces from last year's very good team (not THE piece, but whatever). Their top six scorers all were significant players on last year's team (Brindley, Rutger, Dylan Duke, TJ Hughes, Casey, and Nazar). They also brought in a few transfers, grad and otherwise: Marshall Warren, Jacob Barzcewski, Tyler Duke (brother of Dylan), Josh Eernisse, and Chase Pletzke. That's a new thing for Michigan. Finally, they added three contributing freshmen: Nick Moldenhauer, Garrett Schifsky, and Tanner Rowe. Okay, that seems...plausible? [AFTER THE JUMP: Game breakdowns]

The Book Kickstarter Is Here

Seth and Jeremy have outdone themselves. Our annual preview mag is HAIL (to the victors); our championship book is (Hail to the) VICTORS; our mock-up is above. It is a very fancy book. Our annual HAIL TO THE VICTORS previews are 128 pages of glossy softcover; this is 256 pages in a hardcover book format that is 50% larger. We have spared no expense on paper stock, cover feel, etc. This is as premium as we can ask our printer to make. This book does not just cover 2023, but goes back to the start of this run in 2021. Inside you'll find: HOW WE GOT HERE A new piece from Brian recapping everything that led into the 2021 season. THE STORY Brian's season preview "The Story" pieces from 2021, 2022, and 2023, revamped. GAME BY GAME RECAPS MGoBlog game columns from 2021, 2022, and 2023 are collected, along with other items, notes, prognostications, visions, dreams, and whatnot. Technical breakdowns of how and why Michigan got to this place are interspersed, with a focus on the bigger games. NECK SHARPIES We've selected a few of Seth's detailed breakdowns to highlight the core components of Michigan's title-winning team: duo, the Ravens' amoeba defense, that kind of thing. The meat of the technical knowledge is in here. ALL THAT NONSENSE Alex Drain provides an all-new piece on the Connor Stalions tempest, contextualizing in the aftermath of Michigan overcoming all that to win the national championship. THE YEARBOOK Every player from the last three years to make an on-field impact is commemorated with all-new writing, from Christian Boivin to Blake Corum. An excerpt on Sherrone Moore will run later today. PHOTOS In addition to the photos speckled throughout the book, our photographers have a special section containing their favorite shots from this three-year run. RUN DO NOT WALK Kickstarter page is here. The Kickstarter ends at 8PM the day of the Spring Game. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell people you have no particular opinion on.

Starting PG for N.Cobb as well. Film: Senior Highlights: Jr Highlights. Hudl. Spring Game. Runs at camp. Catches a pass at camp. People were mad when Mike Hart took a commitment from this Georgia 3-star. Fans wondered if Hart realized he was holding the keys to RB heaven. On3's EJ Holland thought they could have held out and gotten top-100 RB Mark Fletcher, who ended up at Miami (YTM), or top-250 Jayden Limar, who chose Oregon over Notre Dame. Stargazers pointed out Michigan's 2022-'23 hauls since Hart arrived were a big step down from the Haskins-Charbonnet-Corum-Edwards run under Jay Harbaugh under less favorable recruiting conditions. Recruitniks figured Hall was merely the Adrian Witty Memorial cocaine-laced carrot to lure Hall's teammate/M's top edge target Joshua Josephs (who chose Tennessee). Our local coaches noted this was the third time Jim Harbaugh's program took a swing on a low-ranked RB from Georgia, with nothing more to show from the first two than a few fumbly carries by (now-Hoosier) Christian Turner in 2018. Second place South Carolina was all WTF Mike? When Hall fell from his team's second-leading rusher to its fourth as a senior, people wondered if Michigan was trying to back out of the deal. Then came the Spring Game, when Hall ran 13 times for 96 yards and a score. The above doesn't even include one of his TDs, which Hall ran in through Jimmy Rolder. Now there's a new narrative. [After THE JUMP: One spring game doesn't say everything about a player, but it says the most about Ben Hall.]

MGoPodcast 15.20: May the Romanovs Find Reason

1 hour and 44 minutes The Sponsors Thank you to Underground Printing for making this all possible. Rishi and Ryan have been our biggest supporters from the beginning. Check out their wide selection of officially licensed Michigan fan gear at their 3 store locations in Ann Arbor or learn about their custom apparel business at undergroundshirts.com. Our associate sponsors are: Peak Wealth Management, Matt Demorest - Realtor and Lender, Ann Arbor Elder Law, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, Sharon's Heating & Air Conditioning, Venue by 4M where we recorded this, The Nose Bleeds, which is the Sklars Bros’ reboot of Cheap Seats on UFC Fight Pass, Autograph: Fandom Rewarded, who just launched an app where you earn rewards for things like reading MGoBlog and listening to this podcast, and introducing Champions Circle, the NIL fund keeping our team together. 1. The Final Coaching Staff Starts at 1:00 Jack Tuttle has been approved for a 7th year, does this incentivize you to switch over your offense since he's so different from Orji? Whoever the quarterback is, they just need to have a Cade McNamara year. Sabb hitting the portal is sad. The coaching staff is final (other than what's up with Mike Hart). The average age of this coaching staff is too close to Alex Drain. The Tennessee message boards are like "RHWRRRGHREWRGRR". Things seem to be moving positively on the NIL front. Michigan is losing assistants at a higher rate because if you succeed at Michigan you go to the NFL. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]

Appreciating Alex Drain (and MGoBlog)

During this morning of diaries and general everyone loves everything love fest, I want to take a quick moment to shoutout Alex Drain. The vast vast majority of people who frequent this board found it and appreciate it because of some content that Brian wrote or created. As Seth has taken a more active role, I think most of us long-timers have really grown to appreciate his yin to Brian's yang, and how their 1-2 dynamic really does create a nice balance. (Let's call it the best version of this site's different personality 'blends' over the years)

Upon Further Review 2023: Defense vs Ohio State

UFR GLOSSARY is here. FORMATION NOTES: There's no way for me show them all. Here's Eagle Zero: SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Slight tightening of the rotations. Graham and Derrick Moore had the most snaps of the DL, with Jenkins, Grant, Stewart, Harrell out there about half the time, McGregor a bit less, a couple drives of Benny and Goode. LBs were mostly Colson and Barrett, with a dozen snaps for Hausmann in place of Colson and two disastrous snaps for Jimmy Rolder. Rod Moore went the whole way (no Sabb) with Paige giving a quarter of his snaps to Q-Jo. Will Johnson came off a snap after the one he overran Harrison; McBurrows got some nickel time before that, and M put Sainristil outside when Johnson went out. VIDEO NOTES: In recent weeks Fox has been abusing YouTube's awful policies for copyright control to harass anyone with clips from the game without regard to Fair Use. The best you can do is dispute the claim and wait 7 days for them to even bother to check if they violated the law when they blindly issued a strike on your account, and then if Fox denies your dispute you have to escalate to the legal system. This is the plan, and we've been through it before, but it's not very conducive to visual aids in an article that comes out a few days after the game. I put some of the clips on Streamable and will move others over if Fox issues further strikes. [After THE JUMP: The Greatest Game of Football Ever Played.]

Offense vs Michigan State Starts at 1:00 There was an initial reaction to be nervous about this game due to the history of this rivalry but Michigan does not care. Seth got an Epic Double Bird from a Michigan State player. We love this team. The story of Mike Sainristil and Michael Barrett are what this era of Michigan football are all about. They're such dorks (this is not a diss). Michigan fans absolutely drowned out Spartan Stadium in this game. JJ had a Tom Brady throw in his touchdown pass to Colston Loveland. When the pocket breaks down, JJ is like Houdini. If you let JJ sit in the pocket, he hits his dig routs and you die. If you rush him, it's even worse! Alex Drain's pre-season hot take about AJ Barner was accurate! The run game was a bit stagnant, though. MSU was prepared for the RPS. It's funny that JJ is having his Heisman campaign going on but opposing defenses are still saying "grr we gotta stop the run." [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]

Preview 2023: Cornerback

Previously: Podcast 15.0A, 15.0B, 15.0C. The Story. Quarterback. Running Back. Wide Receiver. Tight End. Interior OL. Defensive Interior. Edge. Linebacker. Depth Chart Corner Yr. Corner Yr. Nickelback Yr. Will Johnson So. Josh Wallace Sr.* Mike Sainristil Sr.* Keshaun Harris Jr.* Jaden McBurrows So.* Rod Moore Jr. Jyaire Hill Fr. Amorion Walker Fr.* Zeke Berry Fr.* Well, on the one hand you have two of the best defensive backs in America. On the other you have a great sea of uncertainty led by a UMass transfer. It'll be fine, in all probability, because Michigan has six or seven guys competing for one spot on the defense and the UMass transfer has almost literally as much experience as it is possible to have while still being allowed to play college football. But, I mean, this is it. This is the Worry Spot. This is the most concerning thing about the entire 2023 Michigan Wolverines: who is going to play opposite the reincarnation of Charles Woodson. CORNERBACK: MY NAME IS KIIIIIIIIID WOODSON RATING: 4. This preview series has now referenced two of Michigan's famous Musical Dirtbags and will undoubtedly work in some sort of juggalos reference before it ends. This is what you don't pay me for, folks. [Fuller] Anyway, WILL JOHNSON came in as a 6'2", five-star corner and those guys simply do not miss. The question was "when will he not miss" and the answer was right… about… now… CB #2 to top On the opening snap of The Game Michigan put him in press coverage with no safety help against Marvin Harrison Jr and he obliterated the first WR off the board in the 2024 draft. That was a statement of intent. (PFF, infuriatingly, did not count this as a target.) Ohio State targeted Johnson downfield exactly one more time (a comeback to Fleming that was complete for 15 yards) before it was 38-23 and Michigan started playing to bleed the clock.
