U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

WMU is a good team. They're going to move the ball on a lot of teams this year.

I appreciate the grit they showed in attacking on D after getting their asses kicked early on.

Denard looks promising as a pocket passer. His mechanics need work, but he's got a good mentality.

His problem is this offense is totally devoid of weapons.

[Drew]

Okay, the D is now making some nice plays. They're already better than last season no matter what happens the rest of the season.

[Drew]

Another TO for D

[Fraquar]

They still got some things to fix on the D - but they are clearly embedded in Carder's head.

Point of emphasis this week - fix the kick coverage it's been horrible all game.

Options for the Michigan game, According to Rivals.com:

From Rivals:

1. Resume the game at a later date;
2. Terminate the game with a determined final score;
3. Forfeit of the game; or
4. Declare a no contest.

WMU should concede. It was about to be 41-10.

[Kstat]

Why would WMU concede if they don't have to?

[Tony G]

It's done

[Kstat]

U-M wins 34-10 in less than 3 quarters.

It was the classy thing for WMU to do. They were toast.

Throwback unies Saturday nite.

Throwout is more like it, although these look better than the replicas they are trying to pawn off to......somebody.

The helmets are nice, though.

Meanwhile, the basketball team is in their biggest recruiting hunt in over a decade:

You mean, the throwbacks to nothing?

[gjdodger]

I like 'em. But then, I liked World League of American Football jerseys, too.

[chemiclord]

I don't like them or hate them.

I just dislike how the school calls them "throwbacks." To be a throwback would require that uniform existed in the past at some point.
