From this Freep Article: http://www.freep.com/article/20110826/SPORTS06/108260452/ESPN-s-Kirk-Herbstreit-Eight-wins-Michigan
<blockquote>Kirk Herbstreit, who said on the air: "There's so much momentum now in Ann Arbor, and I think it's legit. I think Brady Hoke is going to find a way to win eight games this year."
That might seem low to some U-M faithful, but Herbie said the defense is a "work in progress."</blockquote> That sounds like the typical "I scanned some blogs to see what people have been saying and then repeated the concensus on the air" approach to broadcasting we've come to expect from ESPN.
Meyer said he actually watched one of our practices: <blockquote>But Urban Meyer, a former OSU assistant who hired U-M defensive coordinator Greg Mattison at Florida, wasn't so critical.
"I watched a spring practice, watched real close, spent time with Greg and Brady, and I was expecting something much worse than what I saw," Meyer said on a media conference call.
"I saw a bunch of good players out there running around and being well coached. I don't think they're near as far off as what you saw at the end of the season last year."</blockquote>
