Football was a disaster this year, no two ways about it. The fact is we went 0-5 against good teams that we played. Northwestern and State were both pretty average this year and we squeaked by them. No, we didn’t lose at home, but good teams win games on the road and we failed in that department. Next year the schedule is looking pretty favorable and Devin seems to have it together at QB. He fits much better with Borges’ offense than Denard did. The question will be the young OL, especially assuming Lewan goes pro, but if they can get it together we will contend for the B1G. We look to be in the lead for Green right now but anything can happen. It looks like the staff really wants another OL too. And btw, hearing that we’ve been in contact recently with top rated linebacker Reuben Foster. Poggi built a good relationship with him at his All American game and Foster reciprocated interest with UM. It would be a major coup but just something to stay tuned into. Oh, and a visit looks to be in the works with recently de-committed from USC WR Sebastian LaRue. Would be another huge get.

Basketball is another story. We’re playing like the best team in the country right now. Really it’s hard to say just how good this team is before we get some real road tests (@OSU, @Minnesota are coming up) but if we can get some quality road wins we’ll be a national championship favorite come March.

As far as Ole Mi$$ goes, well…
