When it Rains at Michigan, It Pours: Threet and McGuffie Doubtful for Saturday

Nothing seems to be going right this year for the Wolverines.

Whether it's during the game

Michigan's interception return for a touchdown to tie the game in the fourth quarter was ruled out of bounds at the 45, when the official "thought" No. 6 Donovan Warren stepped out of bounds. The replay clearly showed he did not.

Whether it's a QB transferring

Ryan Mallet, "thinking" he wouldn't fit into Rich Rodriguez's system, transferred in January to Arkansas. Filed in the irony department: Jason Forcier (who would have been great for RR's system) transferred to Stanford the year before because Ryan was coming aboard and clearly was going to get more snaps.

Whether it comes to recruiting

Terrelle Pryor picks Ohio State over Michigan. Kevin Newsome, William Campbell, and Bryce McNeal all de-commit from the Wolverines. (Michigan has picked up two other high profile QBs in the 2009 class, and "Big Will" is still rumored to have Michigan No. 1 on his list.)

Whether it comes to the weather

Michigan trying to put two wins in a row this past weekend was stopped by the weather (temps in the 30s with rain and snow mix) and the Wildcats.

Now comes this report out of Rich Rodriguez's news conference this morning.

Threet is likely out against Ohio State due to a separated shoulder.

McGuffie could miss the game due to a death in his family.

RB Brandon Minor is expected to return.

Nick Sheridan is likely to start.

These things happen to a 3-8 team that will soon be 3-9. The line for this game should end up around 27 points.

I think I solved one mystery from the good play in the Metro Dome: Nick Sheridan has "Dome" arm strength. He doesn't have November winter weather arm strength.
