2011 UofM Wolverines Football

The bye week before us is favorable and your schedule has been favorable the last 2 years when you won the Co Championship without ever playing OSU. I never said your schedule was easy this year though the OSU game this year was against a depleted team and what ever happened to your big land grant classic with PSU. Now your rival is IU wow
Our recruiting is up because of the type of players we are getting not the ranking. And by the way your two tops recruits would be wearing blue next year if it wasnt for academic issues that you guys dont seem to worry about over there.
I will agree that Dantonio has been focusing on lineman and toughness which we got away from. Thats why we sucked for the RR years. If will take us a few years to make up for that but we are fighting and improving. Depth is gonna be a problem for us as your said.
We are going to have our hands full Saturday, State is just a better, deeper team and playing at home.

Big Ten teams lose more often than they win following a bye week. They have a tendency to come out flat.

The academic issues you bring up is a huge falsehood. Michigan doesn't hold it's players to a higher academic standard than any other Div-I school in the country. So long as they pass the NCAA academic clearinghouse, Michigan takes them. And then throws them in that joke major known as General Studies where they take classes on balancing checkbooks. You know, the one that something like 65% of the scholarship football and basketball are in but less than 1% of your entire student body is majoring in. So get off your high, mighty, and utterly imaginary pedestal regarding academics for your athletes.

Michigan is a fine academic institution as a whole, but they take the same barely functional college students that other schools take so long as their bench press is big enough and their 40 time is fast enough. Se'von Pittman and Aaron Burbridge picked MSU because they want to be Spartans, NOT because UM wouldn't take them. But if you want to live your little fantasy go ahead.
