Michigan Monday

  Good news, everyone!  We beat Temple.  By almost exactly the score I predicted.

 And now the better news: it's Michigan week.

While my thoughts on Michigan are well known, the facts supporting my position deserve to be submitted to a candid world.  We start with a bit of good news.   National bugaboo Denard Robinson:

Is no longer with the team.  He has graduated, and is off to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars after being drafted by the Jaguars.  And getting photobombed:

He was beloved enough that some Michigan fans decided to make a tribute video: I Love You Denard.  Yes, he is loved by many.  But not by his ex-girlfriend.  You see, said ex-girlfriend found out he was cheating on her.  And she knew the password to his Twitter account.  So she decided to take a bit of revenge: 

Hell hath no fury like a Michigan woman scorned, apparently.  

But sadly, these hijinks did not keep him from defeating Notre Dame two years in a row, pretty much singlehandedly.  Alas, last year he failed, tossing four interceptions against the Irish.  

I could go on, but pictures are better than words at times.  So.  

This is how Denard made me feel: 

But thankfully, he's gone.  Replaced by Devin Gardner.  Who will take snaps from between a pair of All-American tackles.  But directly behind a center and two guards who are all making their second collegiate snaps.    Which means Lou Nix III may be coming through the line like a bat out of hell.  And Mr. Gardner may get beaten rather heavily.  So we must ask ourselves: what kind of backup is there for Mr. Gardner?  Well, there's Alex Swieca:

He's a dangerous QB, apparently.  He was the MVP for the ENTIRE COUNTRY.  Of Israel.

So, let's just say Michigan has QB depth issues.

More, much much more on Michigan tomorrow.
