Not very good research at all. Makes you wonder how many of their stories are incorrect sometimes, though I’m sure this is a fairly isolated incident.

Apparently Ragone only played special teams last year and wasn’t our third Tight End or anything.

No mention of McNeil

And is Olson a new guard I haven’t heard about, or is this idiot referring to the nastiness that is
Eric OlsEn?

As Bobby Knight so eloquently put it concerning sports writers (read ESPN): “Most of us learned how to read and write in the first grade and moved on to better things”

I have to think that whoever wrote it just threw it together. There was so much wrong, including the ‘impossible win’ tag that NO ONE that knows anything about CFB would put on UM this year, that it had to be either a joint ‘effort’ where people threw in their own sections, or written by an intern hack and then barely reviewed before publishing. To call it low quality is to be very nice. Embarrassing for the sports journalism world. And they call bloggers hacks. Ha.

“The schedule is unusually tame, with only a home game against Michigan and road encounter at USC to end the season standing out as nearly impossible wins.”

In what universe is Michigan this year a “nearly impossible win”? Oh that’s right ESPN is in bed with the Big-10.

Looks like espn did a quick edit job and corrected the article. Whoever wrote the original article should be fired.

Speculation, innuendo, out & out lies and Bullshit. The next time you link to one of their articales remind me to put on my ESPN protective hip boots.

Its like they just have a dartboard with words and names, and throw to see how the sentences get completed.

Not to mention the other countless grammatical errors. Luke Schmidt was a former “Indiana Gatorade player of the pear.” Clausen has “built a report” with the receivers. Charlie Weis hopes Sam Young “will be able to stay their to help with the run game.” Weis also relished “play call-ing.” ESPN puts out such garbage yet they still call themselves the worldwide leader in sports. More like the worldwide leader in terrible journalism.
