pSweet. Someone lock Wolverine Historian in a room with a computer and a stack of videos. (This may be redundant, yes.) /p
pstrongPah./strong The New York Times' bottom-to-top rundown of I-A football has a href="http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/06/the-quad-countdown-no-57-michigan/"reached Michigan/a at an uninspiring #57. The meandering glory of the thing has 100 words in German, mentions Elroy Hirsch, cites a href="http://umvarsityblue.com"Varsity Blue/a, and desperately needs more paragraph breaks. It gt; CFN./p
pBut the thing that sticks out to your correspondent: /p
blockquotepstrongWho is No. 56?/strong: The name of its first president graces our next university?s football stadium and library. There is no memorial to Jimmy Bob, his ever-present parrot./p
/blockquote
pA commenter solves the riddle: /p
blockquotep#56 is Western Michigan, home of Waldo Stadium and Waldo Library./p
/blockquote
pAwwww, come emon/em. There is no way that's not a hook for the WMU preview. /p
pstrongUp-and-coming./strong This doesn't come as a surprise to me since the Doc pinged me to ask whether Boubacar Cissoko was a reasonable pick for the team?I replied quot;if you don't have anyone truly inspiring,quot; to which he said quot;I do notquot;?but Michigan features twice on a href="http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/The-Doc-s-All-Up-and-Coming-Team-Defense?urn=ncaaf,174829"Dr. Saturday's up-and-coming defense/a. You'll be able to guess the other member without reading the post, but what the hell: /p
blockquotepstrongDefensive Tackle:/strong Mike Martin ? Michigan br /Aside from punting, run defense was the only halfway respectable aspect of the entire Wolverine operation last year, and the best aspect of the run defense may have been that Martin held his own as a regular part of the rotation as a true freshman -- with both starters graduating, the middle of the line remains one of the team's many red sirens. Most importantly, Martin a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/upon-further-review-defense-vs-wisconsin-1"earned the MGoBlog seal of approval/a, which is no small feat./p
/blockquote
pHey, now: the rushing offense was (very, very slightly) above-average. That linked caused me to return to the Wisconsin UFR, in which Martin thwarted Wisconsin's second attempt at a game-tying two-point conversion by escaping a double team and crushing the QB as he released the ball; he is kind of a great interior pass rusher already. I just hope he can hold up against the consistent pounding of the ground game./p
pThe Doc's offensive team is a href="http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/The-Doc-s-All-Up-and-Coming-Team-Offense?urn=ncaaf,174647#remaining-content"hyah/a; call me skeptical about the inclusion of a no-block tight end from Ohio State on the list. Ohio State tight ends have to block because they do little else except a href="http://www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com/2009/4/15/838987/anderson-russell-alive-and-well"get death threats/a. One dollar says that Kevin Koger has more catches than Jake Stoneburner at the end of the year. (Stoneburner, naturally, will a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_of_the_Dune_universe"blind more messiahs/a.)/p
pstrongFind Pierce Brosnan./strong Jewel Hampton is the tailback on that DocSat up-and-coming offense, but his knee may have a href="http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/dmr/index.php/2009/07/04/jewel-hampton-injured/"up and left/a: /p
blockquotepMultiple Web sites are reporting that Iowa football running back Jewel Hampton sustained a knee injury during non-contact drills Friday. If confirmed, that would put a damper on the 4th of July weekend for Hawkeye fans./p
/blockquote
pBHGP a href="http://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/2009/7/6/939224/its-not-plagiarism-if-you-link-to"links to stuff/a that suggests the injury is a torn ACL, which would knock Hampton out for the year. Yea, if there is any Angry BLANK Hating God as wroth as Angry Michigan Safety-Hating God, it's Angry Iowa Tailback-Hating God. /p
pHowever, the a href="http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20090706/SPORTS020502/907070345"second-wave word on the thing/a is much friendlier to Iowa and Hampton: /p
blockquotepquot;I'm OK,quot; he said./p
pWhen the 5-foot-9, 210-pound sophomore-to-be from Indianapolis was asked whether he would play in the fall, Hampton said with a grin, quot;Don't know yet.quot;/p

pstrongDude NFW./strong You know what? I really don't want to get into this again. But I find it amazing that a href="http://www.warblogeagle.com/2009/07/works-no-business-like-show-business.html"this happens to be true/a: /p
blockquotepbAlmost there!/b With two graduated, third-team seniors predictably (and acceptably) having left the team over the past week, a href="http://www.bamasportsreport.com/2009/07/04/scholarship-numbers-july-4/"Bama Sports Report reports that the Tide only has/a ... i10/i more scholarships to free up over the rest of the summer!
