Northwestern is looking to build a new stadium in Evanston, significantly upgrading the football facility often noted as among the worst in the Big Ten. Should the $800 million renovations to Ryan Field take place, the stadium would then match the prestige of the Wildcats’ state-of-the-art lakeside facility. But many in the Chicago suburb aren’t too happy about it. The Wall Street Journal chronicled how Evanston residents have reacted to the proposals, and some are more fond of the upgrades than others. One man who is in favor of the Ryan Field enhancements spoke to the NYC paper about the beh ..read more

Spring is upon us and most of the Big Ten schools will be having their spring games here within the next few weeks. Looking back to last season, the conference had two teams in the College Football Playoff: Michigan and Ohio State. But both teams lost their first game in the CFP and Georgia took home another title for the SEC. The Wolverines took home their second Big Ten Championship after going undefeated in the regular season and defeating Purdue in the conference title game. Football in itself has turned into a mostly passing game for several years now. While some teams, like Michigan, enj ..read more

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan football had a rare afternoon where the media got the opportunity to meet with both coordinators on Tuesday. Offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter had their first availabilities in 2023, as the last time they were made available was on media day for the College Football Playoff semifinal in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, one day before the Wolverines took the field against TCU. On Tuesday, they touched on a variety of issues that impact their side of the ball, from Moore discussing being the sole OC, to what Minter learned from the ..read more

The maize and blue are heating up in terms of recruiting of late, and now Michigan football is starting to take some big swings at some big-time players. The question is, will it hit a home run, or strike out? Nonetheless, elite wide receivers are hard to come by, and in the Jim Harbaugh era, the maize and blue have landed exactly one five-star at the position (Donovan Peoples-Jones). Now position coach Ron Bellamy has his eyes on a few others, and one of them just put the Wolverines in his top group. Sure, a top 12 isn’t exactly whittling things down, but that’s where the maize and blue lande ..read more

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Many didn’t give Michigan football a chance to do much on the defensive side of the ball in 2022. With a new defensive coordinator in Jesse Minter, and without Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo, the narrative was that the Wolverines would take a big step back. Yeah, about that. The Wolverines excelled in every game but the final one, and now it’s year two of Minter at the helm of the defense. So, what does that look like? Who’s standing out and how has Minter approached it? He met with the media on Tuesday to discuss how his unit has looked during spring ball. Here is ev ..read more

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — You can’t exactly call him a new sheriff in town, as Sherrone Moore was the co-offensive coordinator the past two years. But last year, he wasn’t playing second fiddle to Josh Gattis as he was in 2021, and now, with Matt Weiss gone, he has the sole responsibility of the offense. Michigan football is fully entrenched in spring ball, with the spring game just days away, coming up on April 1. Moore met with the media on Tuesday for the first time since before the Wolverines’ loss to TCU in the College Football Playoff semifinal, to discuss the state of the offense, the min ..read more

Back in December of 2022, Michigan football made the final five for four-star defensive back Omillio Agard. The Wolverines were a finalist along with Clemson, Penn State, Tennessee, and Alabama. Fast forward to March, Michigan football is still in the hunt for Agard and he announced via Twitter that the maize and blue would be one of four schools he would be making an official visit to this summer. The four-star cornerback out of Philadelphia St. Joseph’s Prep (Pennsylvania) announced he would be visiting Clemson in early June, the Volunteers in the middle of June, and Penn State in late June ..read more

It was a glorious day for Michigan football and its fans last season in late November when the Wolverines went into Columbus and thumped the Buckeyes, 45-23. There were multiple things that stood out from that game: J.J. McCarthy had the ‘it’ factor, Donovan Edwards was a beast, the silence in The Shoe, and of course the Michigan players playing the ‘M’ flag at midfield on the ‘O’. Ohio State fans and players did not appreciate the Wolverines doing that. It reminded people of Baker Mayfield and the Oklahoma Sooners planting their flag at the same spots years prior after a win in Columbus. One ..read more

Blake Corum is a little less than a year away from his turn in the NFL scouting combine. He could have been included this past year, but citing unfinished business, the elite running back inexplicably decided to return to Michigan football for yet another year. While his running skills should have NFL teams salivating at his potential at the next level, Corum apparently has another attribute that should also make all 32 programs covet his unique capability. The official Michigan football Twitter account posted a video on Monday of Corum participating in the bench press, surrounded by his teamm ..read more

James Ross played his collegiate ball at the University of Michigan from 2012-2015 where he was a four-year letterman and started 21 games at linebacker for the Wolverines. Ross had a brief stint with the Chargers in the NFL, but could never quite catch on to the NFL game. But the former maize and blue linebacker had the itch to coach the college game and that’s precisely what he did. Jim Harbaugh brought Ross on as a graduate assistant where he helped coach from 2018-2020. Hope College, a division III program, hired him in 2021 to coach its linebackers. After his lone season there, Cincinnati ..read more
