If it helps, I can show you how to skin a possum and make some great stew! That's some good eats right there, and you can make a nice jacket for your woman out of the fur, it won't smell that good, but it does keep her warm.

U-M football analyst: Expect more than 7 wins in Rodriguez's debut season

July 22, 2008


Michigan football analyst Jim Brandstatter spoke with WXYT-FM (97.1) recently. Some highlights:




Over or under seven wins for Michigan in the fall:

?I think over. See, here?s the thing. Call me pie in the sky, call me maize and blue glasses, call me whatever you want to call me. Yeah, they lost Chad Henne. Yeah, they lost Jake Long. Yeah, they lost Mike Hart. But defensively, they?re pretty good. They didn?t lose a lot of guys defensively. They?ve got guys that can fill in for the (Shawn) Crables and the Jamar Adams, the guys that they did lose. I?m telling you, defensively, I think they?re going to be pretty good. Early in the season defensively, they?re going to have to win a few games before that offense finds its way and fits in some of these young freshmen that I know Rich Rodriguez wants to use. Once they get it offensively and once a quarterback is established that can manage the offense ? he?s not going to be a key part of it like a Pat White was at West Virginia, but he?ll be a guy that can manage it, get it to his playmakers in positions for them to make plays ? I think this offense is going to be a difficult test. I think they?re going to be a tough out after game four and game five. But the defense may have to carry them early until the offense shows up.?

Muskegon Chronicle: Sad to say, but football is almost here

The end-times must be at hand... who woulda thought there'd come a day when they would rue the arrival of college football in tsun?

Sad to say, but football is almost here

Tuesdays with Tom ...

Sorry to ruin things for all of you just starting to enjoy summer, but it's time to talk football.

With sunny skies and scorching temperatures, it might seem that I inhaled too many fumes at last weekend's Bike Time (which is true) to be writing about football, but the calendar doesn't lie.

The start of high school football practice is less than two weeks away and with an abundance of loaded teams in a variety of divisions, this could be another special fall for Muskegon-area football -- more on that next week.
This week, it's time to get a jump on the Big Ten's annual football media day, which is Thursday in Chicago.

The Big Ten football season will be packed with great storylines this fall -- can Ohio State remain on top, can Joe Pa remain alive, can Michigan State and Mark Dantonio take another step forward and can anybody compete with Ohio State?

But by far the most compelling situation is in Ann Arbor, where everyone is wondering whether Rich Rodriguez can work his Mountaineer magic at Michigan after a disastrous start -- highlighted by losing star quarterback recruit Terrelle Pryor to hated rival Ohio State and the public relations fiasco of refusing to pay the $4 million for breaking his contract with West Virginia (Michigan eventually paid $2.5 million and Rodriguez, supposedly, the other $1.5 million).

The one comforting thing for Rodriguez is that he's in better shape than fellow Mountaineer and current Michigan basketball coach John Bielien, who is currently third in the state basketball recruiting battle behind Michigan State and, gulp, Oakland University.

All eyes will be on Rodriguez's innovative spread-option offense, which relies on a multi-talented quarterback to work, something the Wolverines don't have.

U-M football players to miss Heroes for Kids fundraiser

The fourth annual Heroes For Kids golf benefit likely still will take place Wednesday at Apple Mountain Golf Club, but not as originally planned.
Larry Preston, one of the directors of the event which raises money for Saginaw youth recreation, said he learned today that no University of Michigan football players are able to take part in Wednesday's benefit.
Preston said U-M officials told him first-year U-M football coach Rich Rodriguez and his staff have scheduled a mandatory strength and conditioning workout for the players on Wednesday.
"It's a big disappointment for all of us," Preston said. "The (U-M) players always have said how much they enjoy Heroes For Kids, and the strength and conditioning coach (Mike Barwis) said he wants to work with us on this next year.
"But this workout is mandatory, and all players must attend. It's coach Rod's call on that. This is his first year (at U-M), and he's doing everything he can to make sure his team is successful."

Former U-M football player and current Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley started the event four years ago along with former Michigan State University football player and current St. Louis Rams defensive lineman Clifton Ryan. The two launched the Heroes For Kids benefit as a way to give back to Saginaw, where both were born and played sports when they were youngsters.
Woodley and Ryan brought along about 20 their teammates each year to take part in the golf portion of the Heroes For Kids event and to later sign autographs for Saginaw youngsters. The tradition continued after Woodley and Ryan graduated from college two years ago.
Woodley and Ryan are planning to attend Wednesday's outing, Preston said.
This year, Heroes For Kids officials expected MSU and U-M to bring 20 players apiece. Each player would join a foursome in the scramble golf benefit, which raised more than $250,000 for Saginaw youth recreation during the first three years.

Preston said MSU plans to bring extra players, and U-M will send three student-athletes from the Wolverines' gymnastics and women's basketball teams.

That will help the in-state tension towards UM...

I'm not sure who those kids think they are, but this is UM S & C. BARWIS people. Are you going to call Barwis and tell him that they can't condition that day? I'm certainly not.

I mean, this guy had pet wolves. Barwis will eat their children if they try and play golf on one of his S & C days.

This is truly pathetic, IMO. I know that S & C is important, but come on.
