Michigan WR Junior Hemingway: A Movable Feast of Receiving Yards
Coming into the 2011 season, it was thought Roy Roundtree would be the go-to guy for the Michigan Wolverines receiving corps.

But Roundtree only has 8 grabs for 127 yards on the season and it's senior Junior Hemingway … [Read more...] about Michigan WR Junior Hemingway: A Movable Feast of Receiving Yards
Michigan’s Denard Robinson: Overrated, Below Average Passer
Michigan Wolverines QB Denard Robinson is exciting and fun to watch. But he's not a "dual threat quarterback." That term is getting thrown around by the media way too liberally these days.

I think it may have been the same week- the one preceding the start of conference play, so everyone could fatten up with a won and get their confidence up for league play. Directional Michigan looked pretty bad in the morning games as the Central Michigan … [Read more...] about #22 Wolverines 28, SDSU Aztecs 7: The Michigan Difference
