He asked "how do they look?" From Tate Forcier to Obi Ezeh and Rich Rodriguez to Greg Robinson, you couldn't have realistically dreamed they'd look any better. The final... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-09-10T10:22:29-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/14310 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/14310 Michigan's 2009 Schedule: Brutally Honest Predictions In the effort of not being a complete homer, here we go with the preview of the Wolverines on a game by game basis, starting in a way too long away two weeks from now. Western Michigan: (W) The world will find out very soon whether or not there will be marked improvment under Rich Rodriguez in this team like he had at West Virginia. WMU... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-08-22T11:08:30-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/14109 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/14109 Last week, Michigan’s wide receiver corps -- arguably the weakest unit on the team -- was covered. Well, running backs are at the completely opposite end of the spectrum. This is the unit that is expected to carry the Wolverines’ young offense this season. The main cast: Brandon Minor, Michael Shaw, Vincent Smith, Carlos Brown, Mark Moundros What happened last year: It was a weird, whirlwind... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-07-10T05:05:27-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/14088 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/14088 College football season starts in under 70 days; so, unless you’re in a lot of trouble, the depth charts are somewhat set. The final analysis of each position must be completed so that we can see how overly optimistic we are about our teams’ chances. Until Western Michigan visits on the first week of September, here is how it shakes down for the Michigan Wolverines, starting with the wide... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-06-30T05:04:04-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/14006 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/14006 If one article about the Grady family wasn’t enough, you’re in luck. A few days ago, it was announced that Kelvin Grady, brother of recently jailed Kevin Grady, would be joining Michigan’s football team for the fall. He will have two years of eligibility remaining and takes up one of Michigan’s five unused football scholarships. Normally, just being Kevin Grady’s brother wouldn’t merit much of... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-06-04T05:03:27-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13977 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13977 Kevin Grady’s story certainly isn’t unique, though it probably would be in a perfect world. Among the things head coach Rich Rodriguez probably is not looking forward to upon returning to Michigan from a supposed vacation is putting the final, inevitable stamp on the running back’s tenure in Ann Arbor. If you’d have told people four years after Grady signed with Michigan that he’d be exiting... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-05-25T05:06:21-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13954 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13954 Remember Roy Roundtree? You probably do, but you probably don't all at the same time. You likely remember his story, not knowing even for a minute what his name was that got everyone all riled up. Roundtree is the man who inspired the famed "snake oil salesman" comment Purdue coach Joe Tiller gifted to the media last year when talking about Michigan counterpart Rich Rodriguez -- who could... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-05-18T05:01:40-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13876 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13876 As if Michigan's public image really needed to take another perception blow right now, the Greg Paulus ordeal certainly gave it the old college try. Thankfully for everyone involved, it has finally been cemented that if Paulus will be playing college football, it will not be as a Wolverine. It was reported last week that Paulus was not a scholarship option being explored by Michigan at this... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-04-27T05:02:56-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13816 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13816 With the Wolverines in the epicenter of one of the most important college football spring practices in the history of the program, Michigan fans are waiting with bated breath for any signs of life from the spring game. The most pressing issue for many fans remains one that came with head coach Rich Rodriguez, and that involves the success of the 3-3-5 defense at the Big Ten level. Rodriguez’s... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-04-07T05:00:21-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13793 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13793 It would be safe to say spring football practice at Michigan wasn't going to be to Tony Clemons' liking. The 6-foot-3 wide receiver and cousin of former Michigan standout and budding NFL star receiver Steve Breaston decided this past week that another year in the winged helmet would be a season too many; as a result, he announced his decision to transfer. Usually, news like this comes in... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-03-31T05:10:39-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13748 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13748 College hockey notwithstanding, it has been hard to find anything not archived regarding Michigan defeating Ohio State in some sort of athletic competition of recent. So, when you’re looking for something to hold onto as a Michigan fan, you’ll take any type of victory you can get. Enter quarterback Devin Gardner, a native of Inkster, Mich., who this past week verbally committed to the... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-03-17T05:10:07-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13674 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13674 It’s always easier to focus on the problem spots, and everyone knows discussion about next season's Michigan Wolverines football team begins and ends with analyzing an upperclassman-devoid quarterback situation and trickles down to inexperience everywhere from receiver to defensive line to kicker. There is one constant, however, and that player is Brandon Minor. You may remember Minor from such... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-02-25T05:07:31-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13642 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13642 When a rebuilding program wakes up in the morning and gets the news that its starting quarterback is departing for possibly greener pastures, normally total confusion about the future follows. When now-former Michigan starting quarterback Steven Threet did so, however, there was nothing of the sort. Threet’s transfer really is somewhat of a surprise. Ensconced as the returning starter, he... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-02-17T05:06:38-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13615 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13615 If you scan any recruiting service's top 10 or 20, you'll notice most of the college footballs teams being mentioned have something remarkable in common. They spent last season winning more than three games. One -- Michigan -- sticks out like a sore thumb when you affix that stipulation. Right after losing to Ohio State, it appears head coach Rich Rodriguez packed his clothes, toiletries,... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-02-09T05:02:05-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13563 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/michigan/13563 Once again not entirely true to his word, Rich Rodriguez decided this past week that the next fall guy for Michigan fans to bristle at after watching his team surrender countless third-and-10 conversions would be Greg Robinson, formerly the head coach of Syracuse. In addition to keeping Syracuse as bad as it was before he was hired, Robinson spent two years as the defensive coordinator at Texas... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) Michigan Wolverines 2009-01-26T05:00:50-05:00
