By H. Jose Bosch No one can convince me that there is a better place in the world than Buffalo Wild Wings. Why? Plenty of solid beers to choose from; the wings, unlike Hooters, are actually good and the whole atmosphere of it all helps you forget that your college football team is actually as mediocre as you feared. I’m sorry, what? What was the third thing I wrote? … [Read more...] about Michigan and Rich Rodriguez have nothing but a bowl to play for

It’s not time to drink the Kool-Aid … yet
H. Jose Bosch How does one respond to Delaware State’s 63-6 undressing at the hands of the Wolverines? Happiness? Pity? Change the channel to watch a more interesting game? I didn’t have the third option because my father and brother were starved for the success Kool-Aid they drank after 4-0. In fact, to stick with the Kool-Aid analogy, this weekend’s game was the … [Read more...] about It’s not time to drink the Kool-Aid … yet
Someone tell Tate Forcier that he is, indeed, just a freshman
By H. Jose Bosch Someone needs to tell Tate Forcier that his name isn’t synonymous with “badass mofo.” If Bill Simmons were writing about this team, he’d say that Forcier has “I’m Keith Hernandez!” syndrome. In other words, Forcier has bought into his own hype so much, he’ll try just about anything just because he’s Tate Forcier. OK, I can’t get inside the head of … [Read more...] about Someone tell Tate Forcier that he is, indeed, just a freshman
Michigan 1-0 in moral victories; defense still sucks

And by the end of the game I found myself thinking, “Is Michigan State really that bad?” While I rooted for the Wolverines and wanted them to win, I never thought Michigan actually had a chance. And any rational … [Read more...] about Michigan 1-0 in moral victories; defense still sucks
Michigan needs to clean things up to keep the good times rolling
By H. Jose Bosch Drink a glass of water a day and it’s just a glass of water. Drink a glass of water after running a couple miles and it becomes the most important glass of water you’ve ever had in your life. The same concept applies to Michigan football. For almost every year until 2007, the Wolverines were never short of wins. They had the best all-time winning … [Read more...] about Michigan needs to clean things up to keep the good times rolling

All Hail! the mighty Wolverines … for now.
By H. Jose Bosch I went to Michigan bar in the middle of the desert or Scottsdale, Arizona depending on your perspective, to watch Michigan’s home opener. It was me, a friend and quite a few Michigan fans huddled around the many TVs throughout the top floor of the bar. The Syracuse-Minnesota crapfest had just ended on ESPN 2 and all of us were waiting in anticipation for … [Read more...] about All Hail! the mighty Wolverines … for now.
