Oregon Duck Week

Probably the biggest news in the deluge for Michigan this week is...  

The floods in Spain are much more important.

But it is Saturday in the Fall in the United States.  Even bigger news of our own making looms.

And that is what Michigan news is, all of their own making.  It is all rumor, last-minute revelation, dysfunction, or failure.  

Barstool Sports is kind of a neat name but I don't know who Dave Portnoy is.  I don't really have a reason to Google him either.  When the rumors first broke that Michigan was interested again in Bryce Underwood--big deal--his reaction was laughter.  He is the only one who knows.  Now the "news" is that Michigan is raising the scum level and circling the wagons for NIL money.  It is all so similar to Rich Rod and Tyrelle Pryor.  That was a time when these things were a little more discreet.

Carter Smith is a high school student I have heard of.  He holds Florida awards and records and had been a future bright spot.  He was, past tense, everything you want in a quarterback recruit.  Now his is but another Sherrone Moore failure.

Ohio State - Penn State is at halftime, 14-10, respectively.  Ah, the top three after Oregon.  I cannot listen to Urban Meyer at halftime.  Go Nittany Lions.

Perhaps we are seeing Moore's strategy.  Racism, I'll write it, and Wink Martindale and Kirk Campbell are not the solution.  Anyway, it is money and stealing others' recruits.  Hardly noble.  And you could even speculate (Putin?) desperate.

But Moore does have deep recruiting roots in Kansas.  Why would a top-100 o-line recruit want to come to Michigan?

And he condones a sideline-clearing fight after his team has already won the game.

I'm hoping for 5-7.  Today with Oregon we're all going to see what it looks like.  Moore and Michigan was very lucky to have so many hone games with revenue this year.  The poor fans today...  I'm just an observer.

Head coach Moore and Will Johnson have a plan. 

TreVeyon Henderson looks better--leaner, faster, and stronger--than under OSU's discarded, fat, running backs coach who, BTW, Moore hired.  Michigan already had Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards.

The Ohio State - Oregon game was exceptionally close.  Penn State is really good.  Ohio State looks even better.  They are all stars; they make plays.
