    I'd be shocked if Michigan doesn't run the table this year.

    I think they will be real good. But I dont see them getting by all of Bama, Nebraska, MSU, OSU, and *gasp* even Notre Dame.

    There is no way in hell tsun goes undefeated this season. I predict 9-3, with losses to 'Bama, Nebraska and THE OSU...mark it down.

    I think 9-3 would be acceptable with their schedule this year, except the OSU loss. :)

    It is no doubt. After the last few years though, it's about time.

    That is a rough schedule, lucky they play Bama right away since they are replacing a ton of long tenured big time players. I really think that gives them a decent chance.

    One man's opinion (and for the record, he's a tsun fan)

    It may have been Toussaint's first misstep with the law, but DUI is a big misstep and the price, in his case, should include a suspension against Alabama.
    If the schedule fell otherwise and the opener was against Air Force or UMass, teams UM faces the following two weeks, we wouldn't be having this discussion. You know it, I know it, Hoke knows it.
    Just because the game is bigger doesn't mean the price should be smaller.

    I think he has a good point about the opener being a quality opponent. DUI is a big deal. But at the same time, you see all around CFB kids getting less punishment for more crime. Being that it's his first mess up and seems to be a good kid and hard worker, I'm torn. If I had to guess today, I'd say he sits a half.
  • vball10set
    ^^not a bad King Solomon move, and Hoke may feel the same way--we'll see
  • xKoToVxSyNdRoMe
    It is a serious first offence but still a first offense. Similar to Meyer making Stoneburner do extra things at practice and off the field, a half would seem sufficient to me, and if he really goes above and beyond, let him play. A DUI is a potentially dangerous situation, but it was his first offence but no one was hurt so I think he should at least have to opportunity to earn his way on to the field in the first game.

    Reports of a player with possible spine injury at practice this morning. Not sure who or how serious yet.

    Ondre Pipkins. ESPN article said he has movement in arms and legs.

    Is it me, or are we getting hit hard this year?

    Hoke said they transported for precautionary reasons. Hope the big fella is ok. I think he is going to be a good one. Even a stinger can change a football player.

    Not a good start for the freshman class.

    Football God's are making up for the 2011 season.


    Hope its nothing too serious with Pipkins and he's able to return.

    Pipkins was walking around watching afternoon practice yesterday.

    Michigan #8 in the preseason AP poll.
  • Trueblue23
    Michigan got a #1 vote, which is absurd.
  • karen lotz
    @celebrityhottub: Michigan deserves a number one vote, if the poll question is "who is the second best team in Michigan."
