Dog Days of Summer

With sports news so slow right now it seems the football chatter has picked up right were it left off. Every fan across the country is getting there fantasy football picks for a draft over going over countless articles to get you just another day closer to the opening kick.

While going over some Michigan videos I managed to check out a few of the great Bo Schembechler. What a motivater he was. Even if you're not a UM fan he just had a way about him that anybody could appreciate as the head coach of a big time program. He really cared for his players and it showed back throughout his life and after his passing. They don't make em like they used to.

Spring Game

Here is a clip of a TD run by Carlos Brown during today's spring game for the Wovlerines



Sounded like it was a great time and about 40,000 fans or so were there with a huge supply of great recruits as well. Hopefully the weekend will lead to a few commitments and turn the event into something everyone really looks forward to.

Also from what I've gathered Tate Forcier was tearing it up and still impressing. Throwing some great balls and a few TDs the offense looked very different from last years. Even though it is a scrimmage, it shows that he is able to do what was advertised and gives me faith that RR is doing things right.

Why will UM make it to the Elite Eight next year?

I can give you two very solid reasons, Sims and Harris, but the real reason I believe the basketball program will keep moving forward and not regress is 2009 commit Darrius Morris. He is a 6'3 point guard out of California and rated as the 75th (in that area) player overall by rivals.com. He seems to be very quick and explosive. He also led his team to a State Championship title this year.

With him, 6'10 PF Blake McLimans, 6'8 PF Jordan Morgan, and 6'4 SG Matt Vogrich coming in next year I really see the bench and inside game getting that much better. Add to that Manny Harris who works out as hard as they come to get better in the offseason and Sims not having to do everything down low by himself and this team is going to be great to watch in the tough Big Ten.

Only video of Jordan Morgan I could find



I will predict it right now: Elite Eight in 2010

And the wait begins......

With Michigan out of the tourney most of my attention turns to football and getting hyped up as much as I can over the next eight months or so. Yeah I will be all for the Tigers getting things together if their pitching can somehow manage it, but the King of Kings is Football.

I managed to check out a few new highlights of Tate Forcier from his season that were recently put up, this kid is something. I know it is easy to get hyped up for any freshmen QB coming into a program and having to take it over from day one, but this kid has only kept on building his hype since he arrived early. From what I've heard on boards and coaches he is throwing as accurately as advertised. Hitting WRs right on the button.

Click here to check them out. They are worth it. First highlight is of him leading his team down the field on a fourth quarter drive with only minutes left to win the game. Also search around the site to find out more about the future Heisman, haha!

One thing to keep in mind while watching some of his H.S. highlights is where he is able to place the ball compared with how the defense is playing at the time. He seems to always put the ball in the right position for the WR to either plant their foot and make a move, be protected from a huge hit and catch it, or right on the hands in front of the WR to continue without losing stride. Yes Forcier played in somewhat of a not so great league and has been called a midget by some. If he is able to improve at all and catch up to the speed at which the college game is played, dare I say better than a Henne fresh year? I do, and it will happen.

Already found a screenshot and some heads up on the new Madden game as well from my cousin. It is the same fluff piece before any Madden and it will get you pumped and want it now, let's just hope they get it right. Link here

Tough Times

Very tough times right now for Detroit fans unless your a Sparty fan.

UM is still going through the growing pains of a new coaching regime. They are still pulling in great recruits who are getting offers from major programs. I just really hope they can stop putting the ball on the ground as the year goes.

The Wings lost last night while raising the banner. They looked a little sloppy out there but I think it has to do with many of the players not getting time with each other on the ice in preseason due to injuries. They will be fine and everyone knows there is two seasons in hockey and by the time the playoffs come the team should be looking pretty good.

Then you have the Lions. I hope to see Stanton this weekend but because he has missed so much time with his broken hand/finger I don't think he needs to just get thrown out there. They really have a good shot at going 0-16 this year. I just really hope they get a new GM within the next few months and start to blow up the team. I also hope they don't spend their first round pick on a QB, RB, or WR next year. I really hope Lions fans understand that to build a team it starts with the trenches. I'm sure I will still see the stupid post everywhere of how they should take Tebow or Daniels with their pick. It never fails to amaze me how stupid some Lions fans are when it comes to building a team and what it takes.

Should be a great game for MSU this weekend to prove to everyone that Coach D is tunring the corner with them If they take out Northwestern it will really show everyone they are not the Sparties of old. Also I predict Ringer to have 220 yards and 3 TDs.

Make sure to watch some of the baseball playoffs as well. There are very good teams out there and it is always fun to cheer on Manny because people hate him so much. I would really like to see him face off against the Red Sox and beat them, but it seems the Phillies and Pat Burrell are going to make that very tough.

Have a good weekend and good luck to your fantasy team unless your playing me.

Fitzgerald Toussaint is another great RB coming to Michigan next year. I actually think he will be better than Shaw or McGuffie, yes I said it.

Ahh yes Cowboy fans

Like Christmas Again!

It is so nice to sit at my computer once again and keep hitting refresh over and over to see whether or not my fantasy team can win the game for me. Also I love the smack talk and having something to look forward to other then the Lions every Sunday.

As I'm sure many of you out there are aware of how bad the Lions looked against a very suspect team in Atlanta. I really just don't understand why they can never turn the corner - Millen!!! We continue to suck in the draft and don't even have our first two picks out there starting!?!? Just take a look a the good teams in the NFL who make the playoffs. Even with their great teams they are still able to find picks and have them starting on a team that is better then the Lions.....

It shouldn't get to me anymore being a Lions fan all my life but I'm not a sports fan from Atlanta or Carolina who could give a shit less about their NFL team. I'm a Lion fan and I want them to win a Lombardi Trophy someday. I know this is probably not realistic at this time with Millen wasting draft after draft and Marinelli blowing smoke up everyone's ass at his pressers.

As for the Wolverines, they still looked like a team in transition with a new football coach and complex system. I'm still hearing the fans on the radio talk about the recruiting class and how he is trying to make square pegs fit in round holes, yes that is true in some ways. I understand that every once and awhile they can line up and run right at the defense but in the end will doing this for one year help the program down the road? No it won't.

This team is very young and all the experience they get now learning and running the offense will only help us when we continue to get the players in here that are needed for the system to be the most effective. Understand Michigan fans this team is very very young and they would be the same for Llyod if he was here. For as bad as it looks though Notre Dame still looks worse and I think UM can pull it off once again against the fat guy.

Go Blue!!

One more little note before the vids. I was sad to see Tom Brady go down and this issue has been covered more then enough. I just wish him luck in his comeback and know he will be fine after having the same injury to both of my knees.

Mike and Mike on Monday Night also suck. They should just let Ditka be in there by himself. I bet he wouldn't even talk sometimes and just let people watch the game without an annoying voice every second of the game.

What would it look like if NFL players had a fantasy football draft? The Washington Redskins will show you. (Longer video but well worth the watch for any fantasy football player)



Here is a highlight from the Georgia/CMU game. Great play by Knowshon Moreno who may be up for the Heisman this year.

Did UCLA Just Win The National Title?

I was up on Monday to watch the great game that was UCLA vs. Tennessee. Yes I understand that UCLA was the underdog and that their QB was a third stringer, but come on. I think the game was more of a testament to how bad Tennessee actually is. When the opposing teams QB keeps throwing pick after pick and you can't get any points out of it, that is just a bad team.

Yes I was impressed with the UCLA defense more than anything, but the press conference, fireworks, and Neuheisel going on and on about how they are taking over Cally = A big ass whipping when the best program of the past decade (USC just in case you don't have a clue) meets up with them later in the year. It will be fun to watch the UCLA fans cry after that one and I'm sure Neuheisel will stomp his feet in a few years and leave UCLA in a mess of penalties like he has with both his former employers.

As for Michigan :( I was very disappointed in the defense more than anything. I couldn't understand why we weren't putting pressure on Johnson the QB for Utah. We just thought the line was so good they would plow through their O-Line and get to their QB, this never happened until we made the changes in the second half and managed to stop them with consistency. I just don't understand why the coaches waited, I'm looking at you Shafer.

The QBs were also bad and I knew they would be. I just thought they could at least throw a ten yard pass with decent accuracy, I was wrong again. Threet just keep throwing the ball higher and higher and Sheridan keep throwing the ball too far away from the WRs to even have a chance of making a play.

Many Michigan fans want to cry and say RR is horrible and how could they make such a big mistake, these are probably the same fans who sit through an entire Michigan game on their hands expecting a Michigan win and wondering why they never have great home field advantage. RR has said it will take patience since day one and he is right, even though I'm sure he also expected a better showing.

Michigan will be great once again but it won't be this year or maybe even the next. RR will get his guys in here and he will show everyone they made the right choice. Most of this mess can be blamed on Llyod Carr who I think was a great coach but left the university in a bad spot with the timing of his resignation. Our Line is awful and we are starting guys who just a week ago had never played on the O-Line ever before.

PLEASE Michigan fans just be patient and don't rush to judge RR in his first season, we don't have the players too do what he is asking. We will be just fine but I've learned a lot about the Michigan fans just through one game. I think most of them don't have a clue about the roster and how bad it is, they just expect it to be Michigan and have the best talent, we don't as of now. I'm starting to see some of the truth in many of the stones thrown by other fan bases as to why they hate Michigan fans.

I'm sad about this and just hope everyone can see that RR will turn this program into what it once was. I think I also remember Llyod Carr losing his first game? Isn't he the same coach who lead a great team last year over the mighty Appy State? Yeah we should get Carr back here as fast as we can because he never had any losses and none more embarrassing than losing to a good team in UTAH? Also the great Pete Carroll lost to Utah his first season as well and what has he done with USC except contend and win National Championships year after year.

OK I'm done ranting. On Saturday Michigan did get some good news, Tate Forcier commited to the Wolverines. I think between him and Shav'd Beaver we will have two great QBs that can get what RR wants done. Checkout his website at www.qbforce.com You can also check out videos of him at the site and here on the side, just click his name to take you there.

Heads or Tails? Call it in the air

Football is getting closer and closer so things are going well for everyone out there. The Lions already look to be sucking me in, again, this year. Calvin Johnson could be the best WR this year if he can stay healthy. With the weak schedule the first few weeks as well the Lions will be in full talk show mode with a few wins and many fans still bashing the wins.

The Tigers are done as I have already posted. I’m to ready for the football season so I won’t be talking baseball until the playoffs are close.

Michigan is keeping the hype machine going with the super freshmen tag team of McGuffie and Shaw, should be a great first game of the season. It has been a long time since I’ve anticipated the start of the season this much.

My fantasy football teams are also looking to win championships in both leagues. It’s funny that at the start of every football season everyone you talk to about ff says the same thing as well, huh.

Anthony Fera – 2009 commit for the Wolverines. Guess he can kick them from 58 yards out.



Here is a guy who decided to go wind surfing, in a hurricane. This just happened down in Florida and I guess the guy is in pretty bad condition at the hospital. Hopefully he recovers well and tells others not do the same, despite being common knowledge.

"42.5" Vertical

Eat Em Up Tigers, Eat Em Up, Eat Em Up

Lookout for the Tigers! Glad to see them come out and get some runs after a blowout the other night. I really believe that Cabrera is going to really get it going for the second half of the season. The biggest key for the Tigers, as with any MLB team, is for their starting pitching to step up and keep the runs low. Minor, Robertson, and Rodgers will be the main reason the Tigers do or don’t make a push towards the division lead.

Still hearing rumors that the Pistons are interested in both Josh Smith (sign & trade) and Ron Artest. Don’t really know how strong of interest the Pistons have in either one but both have the Pistons trading away Prince to acquire either player.

Here is a link to some news on 5 Star recruit Darius Wintson. He had named Michigan as his new leader awhile back but since has decided to slow the recruiting process down a little.

http://www.nwanews.com/adg/Sports/231854/

Also former Michigan QB, Clayton Richard, will be making his first start today for the White Sox. I don’t remember this guy at all. I hope he does well, but also hope they lose for the Tigers sake.

Yes, Dunk Fail indeed!

Damn Tigers!!

The Tigers let everyone down this week in which they could’ve gained a ton of ground on both the division leader White Sox and second place Twins. The Twins have owned the Tigers this season and they came to Comerica and kept the Tigers their whipping boy by taking 3 out of 4. I won’t go out and say there is no chance of the Tigers making a run at the Sox and Twins but if Mags comes back and we don’t come out of the All-Star break on a tear, we will be looking forward to next year very early.

Sick of Brett Favre and how much ESPN is talking about him…….

I can’t believe how close training camp is and all the FF football talk that is starting to creep up. It is the best time of year for most sports fans by far. I can only hope to be watching the RED ZONE channel at one of my friends house come this fall.

Also the last bit of news for the day is that the Lions are interested in QB Chris Simms from the Bucs. I really don’t understand why considering we just drafted Stanton last year with a 2nd round pick. It never fails that the Lions will continue to defy all logic.


Thought you could only do this kind of bad assery in a video game.



Great MMA Knockout - video powered by Metacafe

Still tracking different Michigan recruits. Here is Darius Winston a 5-Star CB who put Michigan at the top of his list for the 2009 class after he dropped off from Arkansas.

What A Week!

Twice in one week? That is just too much. Fans of Detroit should take a moment and remember one of the greatest weeks in recent Detroit sports history. Both the Tigers, Pistons, and Wings managed to complete the winning tri-fecta twice in one week!! Can't wait for the next round of playoffs to start so they can do it again.

I'm glad we won't have to wait long for the next playoff game with the Pistons taking on the Magic tomorrow. It is also great to see the Tigers just one win away from the .500 mark. I know many of us were worried about the bad start, but it looks like the team we all thought we had has finally arrived and this will be a great year for Tigers baseball

On a side note, the Michigan Wolverines continue to keep getting great recruits with RR at the helm. Most of these guys are very fast as well. This may be a hard year to weather for us UM fans, but RR isn't going to make us wait that long to see what an SEC team would look like in the big ten. Keep getting the recruits RR!!!


Another great commit to add to next years great Michigan recruiting class - Bryce McNeal WR. You can check his myspcae page out here.

Draft Day Is Upon Us

Wow what a disappointing night, both the Tigs and Stones loss. I really don't know what's up with the Pistons, but I still think they will pull off a series win. The Tigs should've gotten a few more runs and were unable to play small ball which cost them the game. Sheff is a real rally killer right now and I don't think he is even close to 80 percent healthy. His career is going to end pretty soon if you ask me.

As for the one day of the year that Lions fans actually have hope for, it is HERE!!! As long as we go with players in the trenches or a LB for the first few rounds I'll be happy. A lot can happen in the first round and maybe this will be the year it goes right for Millen, highly doubtful though. A lot of people have them getting the LB Mayo who looks like a decent player. I just hope that we can at least find one starter out of the 2 third round picks we have. If we do, this will be the best draft be Millen in his great career.

Check out the QB recruit Michigan will be bringing in for 2009, Kevin Newsome. He is ranked 39 overall for the class of 2009 by rivals.com



I hope the Dolphins made a clause in their contract with Jake Long about playing guitar hero. He may want to have a little chat with Zumya



Stupid Yankees fans and Red Sox fans fighting. I hate both of these fans more than any other teams in sports because they think their the only ones that matter even though the Yanks haven't won in years and the Red Sox sucked for decades and now think they are the greatest team in the history of baseball (First few seconds are only part of vid worth watching)



Wonder if this guy even trained for this fight?

At Least We Got Football

Posted by Beautiful Dreamer

Well Saturday was kind of a shocker when the Michigan Wolverines basketball team beat Penn State. It used to not be the norm to see Michigan losing on a consistant basis, but times have changed and we stand at 6 wins and 17 losses right now.

It doesnt look to be getting any better in the future as well.Maybe this is a transition year with John Beilein coming in, but with the previous 2 Mr. Basketball players in Manny Harris and Deshaun Simms on the team why are they so bad? It may be that the 15 year old Fab Five still is big enough in Michigan to recruit from the state, but unlike Michigan State who not only gets good players from the state of Michigan, they also get 5 star recruits from around the country. I am not quite sure when Michigan Baskeball will be able to be a contender in the Big Ten again, but i know this.

There is a better chance of Michigan State football getting better then the wolverines, then the Michigan basketball team getting better then the spartans. Neither one looks likely to happen anytime soon.

5 Great Hockey Goals

These are some of my favorite hockey goals of all-time. Let me know other ones that you think were great as well and I will add them.

5. Rick Nash - Just happened this week and probaly had the most shoulder shakes and dikes of any goal I've ever seen.



4. Bobby Orr - I couldn't just pick one goal for Orr and had to post this video of some of his best goals he ever had. He was a player before his time.



3. Steve Yzerman - I'm biased to this goal. No Detroit fan will ever forget the overtime winner from the blue line in a game seven. This is why he was known as "The Captain".



2. Alex Ovechkin - He is still yong and will have many more goals throughout his career, but it will be hard to top this diamond.



1. Mike Legg, University of Michigan - If their was an And 1 league for hockey this is the move that they would all try.



Here is one more video highlight of other great goals mixed together.

Michigans New Strength and Training Coach

I have found a video through si.com of the new Michigan strength and trainging coach, Mike Barwis. This guy is intense to say the least and he may even been on speed while he gave this interview. I can only imagine how much faster Michigan players will be after this guy gets on their ass!

Michigan Commitments

Hope everyone has had a great weekend watching the NFL playoffs and the Pistons winning. The Red Wings let us down last night, but they were playing the second best team in hockey and they didn’t look like themselves. Everyone has a bad game here and there and we all know that the Wings will be in the playoffs and that’s when it will matter, so don’t get down on them. The Pistons play tonight against the Knicks, so you can add another W to their record.

For this post I decided to put up the commitments from all the top rated players that should (never know these days) end up in Ann Arbor this year. Everyone knows about Sam McGuffie and I figured that we should get a little insight on the other guys who will be wearing the block M. I have also included a link to each player with a video or other information if I wasn’t able to get the video. Hopefully these guys can do what the last class wasn’t able to and bring down OSU this year.

Sam McGuffie – We all know who he is and here is a mix of some of his great runs he has had. Click Here

Darryl Stonum - He is a WR out of Texas who has a 4.4 40, he is also rated 43 on rivals.com. Couldn't get a video, let me know in the comments if you can find one, thanks.

Boubacar Cissoko - We all will have to learn how to say this guys name because he is going to be a stud. At the All-Army game he impressed a lot of coaches and should get sometime as a freshmen. Click Here

Dann O'Neil - You say your worried that Jake Long is gone? Well don't. Standing at 6'8 and weighing 291 I think he will do just fine. Click here to see this beast in acition

Brandon Smith - This guy also had a great showing at the All-Army game. He is a pure athelete and if Pryor doens't end up coming this guy could get a look. Click here for video. They talk about him at about 1:35 into it.

For those of you who want to see more videos click here and go to takkle.com. It is better for getting videos rather than paying at rivals.com. Just type in the player you want to see and you should get some results use the list (link provided below) at rivals to get the players you want to see, just a little tip.

These are just a few of the recruits that I think could make a big impact at Michigan. For a complete list you can click here. It will take you to rivals.com but they don't give you to much and want you pay for everything.

Oh your an MSU fan? Click here and scroll to Michian State in the commitment list box, sorry it wouldn't copy right sparty. There it will give you a list of their recruiting class.

Freaking Sam McGuffie!!

Above you will see why people are excited in Ann Arbor about McGuffie. In the video McGuffie does a front flip over a 6'4 football player. You gotta see it to believe it.
