Bonus! Song o' the Day: Go Blue!

Team 146, Game 13: Michigan v. Texas | Citrus Bowl
The University of Michigan Marching Band, "Varsity" from Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue (Mike Papa Wolverine)

Commentary: If Sherrone Moore was still the head coach of the valiant Wolverines, (№ 18) Michigan would have no chance against (№ 13) Texas. In 2024, (№ 10) Michigan lost to (№ 3) Texas 12-31; Team 146's three losses in 2025 were to (№ 18) Oklahoma 13-24 (now, № 8), unranked U.S.C. 13-31 (now, № 16), & (№ 1) Ohio State 9-27 (now, № 2). To the limited extent that Moore was actually coaching the valiant Wolverines in their biggest games (he is now known to have texted his mistress during halftime of Michigan games), he coached from a place of profound, paralyzing fear. Now that he is gone, anything could happen.

Interim head coach "Sleeveless" Biff Poggi went on an epithetless Longhorns podcast last week & slagged the valiant Wolverines, saying Michigan has no chance against Texas & that the program has been in profound disarray for five years. (A five-year stretch, mind you, that includes a National Championship & three consecutive B1G Championships.) The sooner the contents of Poggi's office are boxed up & tossed to the curb & he is declared
persona non grata in Ann Arbor, the better.

The Kyle Whittingham era begins in earnest as soon as the Citrus Bowl concludes. Now seems an auspicious moment to recall the immortal words of Bo Schembechler when he arrived on campus in 1969:
"Those who stay will be champions."
Go Blue!
