Note: Decided to start my Michigan Dynasty that will run along with my Lions one as well now that I have decided on what sliders I will be using for both Dynasties. I also have a very prego wife right now who will go any day now so that is why it has taken me so long to get back into doing this again.

20 AT 40
Ann Arbor, Mi - The University of Michigan re-dedicated the big house prior to today's game as it now holds over 109,000 fans for every home game. Now head coach Rich Rodriguez had to live up to the hype of Michigan football and both he and the team delivered when it counted routing Connecticut 40 - 20 at the big house today.
Rodriguez had Denard Robinson start the game at quarterback and after finding a rhythm with the offense the team battled back from being down after the first quarter 10 - 7 to take the lead at the half 17 - 10. Robinson would leave the game with an injury early in the third and that brought Tate Forcier off the bench who then took over the game and the defense followed leading the team to a 40 - 20 win here today.
"We got into a good flow today but we made some key mistakes that kept UConn in the game for the first 2 quarters and we can't make those mistake next week against Notre Dame or will get crushed." Said head coach Rich Rodriguez.
The team now practice up for next Saturday's big game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend Indiana where the Irish will look to win their first game of the year.

FIREWORKS IN THE AIR!!
Missed Field goal spoils Robinson record breaking day!!
South Bend, IN - Kicker Brandon Gibbons missed a 41 yard field goal off the left upright with 2:15 to go in the fourth quarter to give Notre Dame a 40-37 win over the Michigan Wolverines today.
The loss spoiled the new school record put up by QB Denard Robinson who threw for a school record 392 yards pass in the game while the team as a whole rushed for 133 yards on the ground.
"We made some of the same key mistakes that we made last week against Connecticut and it cost us." Said Coach Rodrigeuz. "We just didn't make the type of defensive plays that we needed to make to get the win." Said Right End Craig Roh.
The Wolverines now head home to face off with the University of Massachusetts on Saturday Afternoon, September 18th with a 12:00 noon kick-off.

BIG HOUSE BLOW OUT!!
Michigan runs over Minutemen
Ann Arbor, Mi - The Michigan Wolverines ran for a combined total of 390 yards on the ground in a 63 - 0 shut out of the Massachusetts Minutemen at the Big House in Ann Arbor today.
HB Michael Shaw run for 215 yards and 3 touchdowns in a game where it looks like Michigan could do now wrong on offense or defense for that matter. The Michigan defense came away with 4 sacks in the game along with 14 tackles for losses as well.
"This was a total team effort today and it was good to see the team respond as well as they did after last weeks loss to Notre Dame" Said Head coach Rodriguez.
Michigan stays at home for week 4 action of the season as they invite the Bowling Green Falcons to the Big House next Saturday with a 12:00 noon kick off.
