That's the Harvard of the West proving once again that a straight line is the fastest way to the end zone. What's not to love about this picture?

Typical scUM fan--as soon as Floyd gets hurt, they immediately start talking about how bad he is and how they're better off without him. The over/under on how long the RR apologists take to start trashing him once he's fired is about 5 seconds.

Well he is bad. What I get from the picture is that the backup probably wouldn't even be in that picture. You would just see a Penn St. player.

According to Angelique Chengelis via twitter JT Floyd is done for the year. She had a conference call with Rodriguez this morning, Floyd will have surgery on damaged ligaments, nothing broken though. His status for spring ball is uncertain at this point.

Good thing slot receivers and DBs are interchangeable or Dick Rod would be in a pickle.

scUM still favored by 3, total set at 57.5


If they keep the total under 60 and scUM favored by 3, it means the Illinois team total will have to be set around 25.

As the Russian in the DirecTV commercials says, when I see Vegas offer scUM opponent total below 30 package.......I juuuuump in it. BWAHAHAHA.

The latest bit of bad news arrived Wednesday, as Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez confirmed that cornerback J.T. Floyd will miss the rest of the season after suffering a "freak" ankle injury in practice Tuesday. Floyd's ankle isn't broken, but he suffered ligament damage and needs surgery that will keep him sidelined for a while.

The redshirt sophomore has started all eight games for Michigan and ranks third on the team in tackles with 66. Floyd also has an interception, a forced fumble and four pass breakups.

Michigan's struggles in the secondary are no secret, and this certainly doesn't make things easier.

Rodriguez said true freshman Courtney Avery will start Saturday against Illinois opposite senior James Rogers, the Wolverines' only non-freshman cornerback still available.

"We're pretty young in the secondary," Rodriguez told reporters on a conference call. "We're getting younger."

Yikes.

Remember these names?
  • Troy Woolfolk: Multiyear starter in the seondary suffered season-ending ankle/foot injury in camp.
  • Justin Turner: Decorated recruit was granted his release from the team in August.
  • Vlad Emilien: Young defensive back left the team in September.
  • Demar Dorsey: The Big Ten's top-rated recruit signed with Michigan in February but was denied admission in June.
  • Boubacar Cissoko: Blue chip recruit started the first four games in 2009, missed two games because of a suspension, returned for a game and then was dismissed for violating team rules. Cissoko is now in jail serving time for his role in multiple robberies.
  • Donovan Warren: First-team All-Big Ten selection in 2009 declared for the NFL as a junior but wasn't drafted in April.
  • Adrian Witty: Signed with Michigan in 2009 but never made it to Ann Arbor because of academic issues.

So RR's two pronged plan of recruiting far too many kids of questionable academic ability/character while simultaneously running off the existing talent he did have is coming back to bite him in the ass?

Anyone see this coming? I know I didn't.

what talent did he run off on defense?

Babysitting is a big part of a coach's job. If your stance is that the doors aren't locked from the inside and remind kids regularly that you didn't recruit them, then you reap the benefits when so many don't want to stick around or do so without the right commitment. I is a precarious game, balancing when to light a fire under kids or when to work through their antics.

There were a number of defenders that left, but more devastating, a lot of defenders who loved michigan who were alienated by the scheme, style and politics of rich's defense. And unlike a lot of other topics, that one can't be blamed on cloakers or rr hatred. That was all him and his staff. Warren didn't leave because he was an early pick, he left to escape the disaster.
