There are many Michigan football previews out there, but none other gives you half as much 13-10. The guys who analyze the football plays of Michigan and their opponents have once again put together a preview and feature book that covers every position and foe, with 13-10 asides galore. Every potential contributor, every elite defender, every Bryce Underwood, every contrived controversy, and even one position where everything's coming up Milhouse. There may even be a viable receiver in there; you never know. We also have deep dives into Ohio State, Oklahoma, Michigan State, Nebraska, Washington, Wisconsin, USC, Wyoming, CMU, Maryland, Purdue--heck we even made Alex remember there was a Northwestern game last year.
And that's just the stuff that gets old. THERE ARE FEATURES in this sucker too:
Sam Webb contributed WE GOT HIM!, the inside story of how Michigan…first the school, then the recruiting staff, and finally the FANS won Bryce. Yes people, you did this (with an assist from LSU fans who turned on their players when Alabama trounced them in front of Underwood).
Matt Brown, the editor of Extra Points, wrote THE NEW ECONOMY, an expert survey of the current state of NCAA governance and legislation, and where Michigan might stand when the dust settles now that House has.
Alex Drain submitted AN UNRECOGNIZABLE WORLD: For those of you who are just emerging from a bunker after 2020 and need a catchup of everything that's changed--TV, conferences, professionalism, playoffs--in a busy five years.
In serious football stuff, this year Seth dove deeply into the fundamentals of the Amoeba in THE BIG NICKEL to show how they might solve its biggest weakness—multiple TE threats—with a hybrid nickel.
In A CHIP AND A CHAIR Ian Boyd, writer of America's War Game, looks at new OC Chip Lindsey's history with quarterbacks, Bryce Underwood's skills, and how the two might mesh.
And cfb blogger Braves & Birds was summoned for WHAT'S A #1 QUARTERBACK, so Michael Elkon can take us through the freshman seasons of previous elite quarterback recruits and get our expectations calibrated for Bryce.
The history section leads with LET THERE BE ROSES by author John Kryk, who braved the pain of many Bo-era memories to give a new generation the proper appreciation for how much was on the line when they stopped Jalen Milroe from crossing it.
Craig Ross's WHO'S IN CHARGE? is the next installment of his ongoing history from the beginning to Yost, and here in the 1898 preseason it's getting good now that Michigan is, so long as we don't get ourselves booted from the conference for cheating, IE making Stagg mad, which amounts to the same thing.
Alejandro Zúñiga's story THE HAPPY FEW is a bit more modern. He went along with the team on Harbaugh’s summer trips around Michigan and D.C., and reported back with the stories he was permitted to tell before his subjects checked with their moms (too late now, hot doggers).
And it all ends with a Roundtable.
