days until Michigan gets their first win of the season.

 

There are also...

days until Vincent Smith shows that the little guy can make a big impact in the Spring Game.

As a former running back it takes a tough guy to run in an I set backfield. The backs we have are not those kind of backs. They are spread guys. If offensive production goes down we are in trouble.

I don't remember DB ever saying that Michigan didn't have a national brand anymore.  I think his goal is to build the national brand though, for example, the neutral-site game vs. Bama at Cowboys Stadium next year.  Michigan is exploring the possibility of neutral-site games at Miami's stadium as well (not necessarily vs. Miami): http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/dave-brandon-possible-future-miami-neutral-site-game

Besides, Michigan still recruits nationally and has a huge alumni and fan population throughout the US and the world, and if that doesn't make them a national brand, I don't know what does.

The running game is nothing to worry about, hopkins is gonna be a beast, his 10 yard split needs a little bit of work but he is a quick, big back. He'll get things going in the coming year, also Shaw is solid and I know we like to hate on little vinny smith, but the guy does nothing but produce.

thats what you're worried about for next season, the running backs :|. How about our dreadful d that would make sense but the backs weren't a big part of the offense with RR, so dont base your assumptions b/c they didn't get touches. We have a solid young group and they will suprise and put some pressure off denard.

if memory serves me correctly, this is the first "there are..." post that has a three digit number represented in one picture.

also, how about a page-a-day calendar with these images that starts the day after the NC game and goes to the opener.  moeny in the bank!
