Waiting for Michigan Football to Fall? It Might Be a While

"I'm not saying Michigan is going to come out and win the Big Ten championship this year.  But within the next four years?  I'll be shocked if they don't.  In fact, it's safe to say we expect a national title game within that span."

"Michigan has had some bad seasons in the past, but to almost every Michigan fan out there today, a bad season is 7-5 or 8-4.  Sub-.500 just doesn't compute for Michigan.  In fact, the last time Michigan had a losing record was 1967.  The last time Michigan didn't play in a bowl game was 1975.  Both streaks are current NCAA Division I-A records."
