Michigan Monday is up
Latest is up below but it had me wondering whether there's a similar focus-on-the-enemy in the michigan football blogosphere? What are bloggers doing today to beat ohio?

As usual, not buying what they're selling.
and the defense wasn’t a liability
3 AM scrambled Cinemax movies have more clarity than what we know about this defense.

Wow… that reference takes me back! Haha
September 6th, 2021 at 10:02 PM ^
That gif takes me back! Haha

Wait, tilt my head a little and I see....SEXY BITS!!!

Wait, that isn't a giraffe ambling across a hot savannah?

Thanks. It is a very good summary/analysis.
(And to be snarky for a moment -- why focus on our enemy OSU when we can be our own enemy and perpetuate stupid grumblings with a "Hot Seat Vibes" column on the Monday after a 33-point win? Given Iowa State's dud against Northern Iowa (6 point win as a 28.5 point favorite), I thought we would be spared this week from stupid hot seat posts. I did not expect one to be the sole post on our front page today. I bet recruits love to read stuff like that!)

Are you allowed to parenthesize that long?
September 6th, 2021 at 10:08 PM ^
It's illegal in New England, frowned upon in the Midwest and accepted in the South.
September 6th, 2021 at 11:39 PM ^
There's also a set of parentheses within the parentheses, like the dream within the dream in Inception. This is next level parenthesizing

OSU Monday brought to you by the Kool-Aid Guy:
OSU on Offense: real good
OSU on Defense: real good
OSU on Special Teams: real good
OSU Coaching: real good
Tune in again next week!

You forgot recruiting. That must be their weak spot, right? Right?
September 6th, 2021 at 9:54 PM ^
Oh, you sweet summer child.
September 6th, 2021 at 9:52 PM ^
I thought about this but I guess that's the exact point.
Watching the game the last few years, its clear OSU still prepares for Michigan like they're a worthy adversary.
Clearly OSU fans still think they are as well, or else Michigan Monday would have disappeared sometime in the last 10 years along with Michigan's perceived chances of winning...

I'll bet more Michigan fans read it then Ohio State fans.
Smart way for him to generate an additional audience for his site.

I've got a hot-take. CJ Stroud will not be the starting QB when we play OSU Thanksgiving weekend. They (The fan base) will not be happy, even if winning, by his missed opportunities, and the pressure will rachet up to play another QB. I realize he was just name B1G freshman of the week.
September 6th, 2021 at 10:09 PM ^
I'll never understand the fascination of Michigan Monday with Michigan fans.
September 6th, 2021 at 10:56 PM ^
It's always been a pretty good balance between our homer instincts and our everything-is-awful instincts. It's truth serum. It can get unnecessarily snarky sometimes, but it's generally on the money.
September 7th, 2021 at 1:33 AM ^
It's typically a pretty funny and well written piece, and also a barometer of the Ohio State hive mind feelings on Michigan. Lighthearted banter means M is seen as no threat. When Michigan Monday gets salty, you know they are getting nervous. This hasn't happened since 2018 but has happened.

DJ durkin is killing it on ole miss defense. I mean really killing it.
too soon
September 7th, 2021 at 5:20 AM ^
Louisville is garbage. Wait till you see the Ole Miss defense against a competent offense.
September 6th, 2021 at 11:06 PM ^
When describing Dax Hill playmaking ability on defending the screen, “he ruins the moment like a heckler at a funeral.” Pure gold
September 7th, 2021 at 7:49 AM ^
thank you for posting...that one was good as well - he is pretty even keeled in his Michigan opinions and think most of his writing is spot on.
September 7th, 2021 at 8:15 AM ^
That junk closet analogy has me feeling a certain way. I will be happy with every win our boys earn but I will not be excited until they can beat OSU.
September 7th, 2021 at 9:45 AM ^
I really like the Michigan Monday features. They always seem to have watched the same game I did.
September 7th, 2021 at 10:01 AM ^
Gerdeman is so in tune to our team.. though I disagree when he says he'd put Hill at cb and sit Gray... wonder if thats leftover sentiment from last season, because it seemed Gray played good, and maybe better than Green last Saturday, and maybe Green should sit instead in that scenario. Anyone have a thought here ?
September 7th, 2021 at 11:23 AM ^
Our own DC says Hill’s NFL future is at Cornner due to length, athleticism and speed. He’s what every nfl team covets at corner. IIRC he plays quite a bit of man coverage either at corner or nickel and will likely get tasked with certain receivers this season. Esp if our back up safeties come along fast enough to put Dax where the defense needs him. Imo that’s the plan to achieve long before we get to Osu.

We're not as fanatical as them folks
