In the sport where games are played by college kids using an oval laced ball filled with gas, before large partisan crowds in somewhat ovate stadiums, Michigan has done better than the rest over time. Better than all the rest. Over all the time that college football has been played.

Too much of Denard might be a bad thing
Three games into the season, fans are calling for Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges to unleash QB Denard Robinson.
Let Denard be Denard!
The problem is that we’ve been down that path before.
Fans are frustrated seeing Denard under center at the controls of the pro style, power game that Hoke and Borges favor. But for the Wolverines to have sustainable success  Denard must balance between his remarkable running skills with the ability to deliver the ball down field.
Letting Denard be Denard resulted in him running the ball 26 times against Eastern Michigan.
That’s too much mileage (and hits) on Shoelace for an opponent of this caliber.
