One poster on their scout board commented that they had a favorable schedule next year. Maybe with a typical Michigan product like the days of yore that'd be true but with the current product up there it could get kind of ugly starting on October 8th. Favorable schedule? I don't see it. They could lose as many as seven games with that schedule if things don't go their way. Let's face it. They are dead in the water with that defense.

Oh and scUM opens 2012 with Alabama and they also play at Notre Dame, at Nebraska, and at Ohio State and then Denard and Forcier run out of eligibility. On the bright side, maybe the defense will start playing better by that time.

You'd better believe Brady Hoke will have San Diego State gunning for the scUMMERs on Sept 24th.

A win against scUM, even a bad scUM team, with San Diego State would instantly put him into the top 4 or 5 candidates for every big job that next off-season - to include scUM itself probably.

I'd say they have a possible range of 4-8 to about 7-5 at best next year.

scUM fans are really starting to sound like Cubs fans: Wait till next year! The only difference is there are a few people that feel sorry for Cubs fans!

Give it time, m' man. The rest of the country feeling sorry for a sports team takes more than four years. Hell, it took the Cubs half a century.

VictorsValiant08 is on an anti-Harbaugh tirade in this thread.

Priceless post of his when talking about academic standards. The number of grammatical and spelling errors are funny. My favorite is bold.

Didn't Michigan not allow a couple commits this past couple of years. I remember Michigan not bending our academic reputation to let in poor studentts.

I guess Standford only has rockit scientist as students....but then why are so many of the Stanford Students in the same types of majors Michigan studnets are? That's funny a ton stay undeclared too, until they graduate with a communications major just like some of our players.

Looks like some of the TSUN fans are getting a head start on the optimism for next year. There's even a 'the defense can't be worse again'.

2011 Win Expectations

There's a man holding the ball or spotting rope or whatever. Definitely no cloaker.

AHHHH Michigan fans...they are hilarious through and through

Theres also a little thing known as special teams. They suck so bad at it it makes their defense look half-way decent in comparison.

I would argue that if it were not for the kick return for a TD by Hall after their second score it may have been a half-way decent football game. The KO for a TD was a backbreaker...absolute momentum changer in the Buckeyes favor.

They need in ST and defense before anything better than a 7-5 record happens...they lose 2 of their top 4 OL which IMO will hurt early next season on their OL.

let's figure out who our coach is going to be before we start worrying about OL.....:lol:

[tsun_logic]The success of the OL will of course determine how well our defense plays and result in a better season on both sides of the ball for our entire team. It's not going to matter who the coach is as long as our OL stays solid.[/tsun_logic]

We lose Steve Schilling and Perry Dorrestein. Not exactly huge losses. Schilling had a crappy year and Dorrestein was a solid, not spectacular player.

Our best OL by far was Dave Molk, and he was banged up most of the season and still played better than Schilling, and well, Dave is back.

Our second best OL was Patrick Omameh, and he returns.

And our third best OL was a freshman Taylor Lewan, who quite honestly is the most talented offensive lineman we have on the roster and could make a huge jump in 2011 and become a dominant player. His future is very bright and he'll be a very high draft pick in the NFL one day.

if only you had a quarterback on the roster that was tall enough to see over the pocket that they may or may not be able to create next year

don't know about all that, just trying to tell that guy that the OL will only be better next year.

Steve Schilling had a crappy year and Dorrestein had a solid SR season with some ups and downs.

Our best player on the OL was a JR, and the two best after him were a pair of underclassmen starting for the first time in their careers.

Have to think we'll be better along the OL next season and quite frankly I thought Steve Schilling should've been canned after the Michigan State game.

and this time last year Schilling was pointed to as an example of pending improvement for 2010...another year in the system/barwis etc etc etc.

It just never ends.

Here is a list of the strengths of the scUM football program right now;

Denard Robinson can run really fast.

Everything else about the program right now falls somewhere on the spectrum between pure shit and mediocre.

Lol. Please.

I never saw Schilling make freshman All-American teams like Lewan has been doing or All-Conference teams like Molk has been doing.

Schilling was a hyped up 5* recruit that didn't pan out, simple as that.

Lewan and Molk are legit talents that can play in any system, and Patrick Omameh is pretty friggin good as well.

There are many things to blast Rod, his program, and this coaching staff over, but the OL isn't one of them. That is one of the few things they've done pretty well the last 2 years.
