Last season when Tate Forcier led the Wolverines in a last second game-winning drive over Notre Dame, it was announced that “a star was born.” Since that victorious September afternoon, Tate Forcier has done nothing for the program to exemplify that cry. At this year’s Big 10 media day, senior cornerback Troy Woolfolk called out the Wolverine’s signal caller for failing to be a leader off the field and failing to show that he deserves to be the starter....
San Diego State just sold its soul for a shade over $1 million dollars. The Aztecs agreed to travel to Ann Arbor to play the Michigan Wolverines in 2011. To date, this will be the largest payout in Aztecs history and will certainly cover a significant portion of the school’s football expenses. It is no secret that the Aztecs have had financial difficulties in the last few seasons and were aggressively seeking a big payday. The AD would have...
I’m not sure what’s worse—demoralizing a 1AA opponent by gaining 727 total yards of offense or letting a team demoralize you for $550,000. Earlier today, the Michigan Wolverines poured on the beating against Div 1AA Delaware State. Within what seemed like minutes, Michigan was up by three scores. By the end of the game, the final score read 63-6. Michigan broke a school record with 442 total yards of offense in the first half. The 727 total yards from...
The Matador just learned that the Big Ten conference is suspending Michigan’s Jonas Mouton for the punch that never occurred. Mouton allegedly punched the chin of lineman Eric Olson after the end of a play during the second quarter of the Michigan/Notre Dame game. The punishment, which is completely unwarranted, is for one game. Fortunately, this suspension will not really hurt the Wolverines as they face the perennial powerhouse Eastern Michigan Eagles this Saturday. This tells me that the...
As you know, Michigan’s Big House is still being renovated and should be completed by the 2010 season. There has been a lot of speculation as to who will help christen the renovated stadium. It looks like the rumor is out and UConn will get the nod. This will be a great Big 10 v. Big East match-up to open the biggest stadium in college football. Well done Wolverines and Huskies.
Today, there was another blow to Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan Wolverines. The team announced the dismissal of Deerfield, Florida native Justin Feagin (So. 6’0, 198lbs) for a violation of team rules. Feagin was Rodriguez’s first quarterback recruit. He was anticipated to become the “next Pat White” in Rodriguez’s spread offense for his speed and agility. Last season, Feagin was moved from quarterback to defensive back to slot receiver. He only appeared in four games last year (against Purdue,...
