Still Alive

Even after Appalachian State, even after Oregon, and now even after Wisconsin, Michigan is still in the hunt for the Big Ten Title.

Michigan's D looks slow and lost, could not stop the Badger offense, and made Tyler Donavan look like an All-American. Michigan D's have a knack for making QB's that are not that good look superhuman.

Michigan's QB is, a freshman that is really all I need to say. He made some good plays, but Michigan didn't need some good plays they needed many.

There is a real cohesion problem on this team, and Mario Manningham has let stardom go to his head and that is all I have to say about him. My overall impression was, Michigan played like a bunch of powder puffs and gave Wisconsin this game. There is also a real coaching problem on this team, are they not teaching FUNDAMENTAL football anymore? And Michigan needs to get back to recruiting hard nose players that want to hit and want to punish players, this team is void of that attitude, grit and toughness.

Congrats to Illinois! a great game at the Flip Flop, I mean the Shoe. I am telling you Illinois is the team to look out for in the Big Ten in the next few years.

Flying Under the Radar

Big Ten, better wake up, the Illini are on their way. Talented players in a spread offense, they are fast and hungry. They took care of Indiana on the road and then handed Penn State their second loss.

We shall see just how good the Zookers are next Saturday when they host the #5 Badgers.

The Crystal Ball

Mark Schlabach of ESPN has looked into his crystal ball and the season is already ruined for the Wolverines. I think this SEC lover hasn't been looking into his crystal ball he has been drinking too much Cristal.

"Peering into the crystal ball revealed the following five predictions for the 2007 Big Ten season:

1. The Wisconsin-Michigan winner takes the Big Ten title both teams will be unbeaten going into their Nov. 10 showdown at Camp Randall Stadium.

The Badgers' biggest scare will come at Penn State on Oct. 13, and they'll squeak out a win at Ohio State on Nov. 3.

The Wolverines will survive early-season shootouts against Oregon and Penn State, then the defense will hit its stride. Michigan will beat Wisconsin by a field goal, then lose to Ohio State the following week, costing the Wolverines a spot in the BCS Championship Game."

I think Mark's crystal ball is a bit blurry, the Wolverines will handle the Badgers about the same as last season and will win the Ohio State game by 3-6 points.
