Unit by Unit: Breaking Down Michigan Football's Offense Following Its Win Over Western Michigan
A new weekly post game feature here at Maize n Brew will be what we like to Unit by Unit. We'll take a hard look at the players and the coaches for each particular unit on the team, and bring them in for a pat on the back or a wag of the finger. After we've looked at each position, we'll give you a...
The Latest Across The College Football World
Before we dive into other topics, first there are a few major stories related to the Sooners. The first has to do with the ongoing Mike Balogun case. Matt Hinton over at the Yahoo Sports Dr. Saturday blog draws some interesting conclusions: When I read the headline, I assumed it was just a matter...
10 Freshman and Unknowns to be Excited About for the 2009 Michigan Football Season: Part 1
There is nothing of note going on right now besides the occassional injury on the practice field, so I'll give you the camp injury wrap up courtesy of the Free Press: OL Ricky Barnum (ankle), S Thomas Gordon (ankle), FB Mark Moundros (foot), CB Donovan Warren (knee sprain) and Zach Johnson (hit...
The Myth of "Big Game Bob" Stoops Is A Media Creation
This offseason, the one topic I keep seeing broached when the media talks about Oklahoma is how "Big Game Bob" Stoops is no longer; Stoops has somehow forgotten how to win the "big ones" because he keeps losing in BCS bowl games. This topic is really becoming tiresome to hear about, because the...

Upset Of The Year In The 2009 Big 12 Football Season?
Baylor over Texas Tech on November 28 in Arlington, TX is my early pick for Big 12 Upset of the Year (as noted in the comments, the game will be in Arlington, not in Waco). Consider that Tech will be coming off of back-to-back games against the Oklahoma schools, visiting Oklahoma State on November...
The Great Debate: Notre Dame
So we just recently put our various toughts and opinions out there well in advance for the upcoming season... and naturally there were a few games that the three of us didn't quite all see eye to eye on. So why not dig a little deeper and put more fodder out there for each of us to look like...
Sherman Clever Like A Fox
I have made no secret of the fact that I'm not a particular fan of the West Coast Offense (WCO). I think the rise of the WCO in the NFL ranks has stagnated creativity in the League, making every game look like a carbon-copy of every other game on Sunday.
