Some chuckle-worthy news out of the Indianapolis this week: of all the quarterbacks at the NFL Combine, Jimmy Clausen has the smallest hands, at only nine inches. I’m not particularly proud of the following photoshop, but my friend Noah had the idea and it was too good not to use:

That is all.

The last year, to say the least, hasn’t been kind to the Wolverine faithful. Taking lumps from all three major sports programs on a day-to-day basis has taken its toll on my sanity and well-being. Sometimes, I need a reminder that things could, in fact, be worse. Thankfully, there’s a school in East Lansing that [...]

By now, the press conference held yesterday detailing Michigan’s NCAA violations has been broken down from every conceivable angle. Personally, I’m getting tired of it already, but this is a Michigan blog, and this is the biggest story of the year, so I feel obligated to share my thoughts.
First, as a staunch backer of Rich [...]

I’m in between classes, and it’s midterm season for me, so I’m not going to have much of substance on Michigan’s press conference on the NCAA investigation. From what I can tell, the allegations are rather minor (practice time violations were way overblown), but that isn’t to say Michigan is entirely in the clear: there [...]

I was able to attend the Victors Rally at the Michigan Theater on Sunday to do some filming for The Wolverine, and I thought I’d share some of the video I got with you. The first two videos are from former head coach Gary Moeller’s speech. It’s really nice to see Coach Moeller staying connected [...]

This weekend’s Junior Day produced a commitment for the Wolverines, but not from a player on most people’s radar: Shawn Conway, a 6-4 wide receiver from Birmingham Seaholm who has flown under the radar of the recruiting services, picked up a Michigan offer when he arrived on campus and made his pledge before the day [...]

The above is WolverineHistorian’s latest YouTube masterpiece, a compilation of Michigan running back highlights from Jamie Morris all the way through Mike Hart. For me, it’s great to see not only guys like Wheatley, Biakabutuka, and the A-Train on film again, but also the players that predated my time watching Michigan football (I’m going to [...]

This just came in from the athletic department. Braithwaite was in charge of defensive quality control for the past two years here at Michigan. This is certainly an interesting hire — a complete unknown from a coaching standpoint, except, of course, to the coaching staff themselves. As expected, Greg Robinson will take over coaching the [...]

Well, this is interesting: Tom Keegan of the Lawrence Journal-World is reporting that a source with ties to the Big Ten has told him that the conference is in “preliminary exchanges” with the University of Texas about becoming the 12th Big Ten team. Yes, that University of Texas. While this rumor, by virtue of not [...]

With the recruiting class of 2010 signed, Michigan football fans can officially turn their attention to spring practice, and ultimately how the team will look come fall. With some assistance from MGoBlog’s depth chart by class and the resources available at The Wolverine (including Michael Spath’s very early look at the 2011 depth chart and [...]
