There’s a chill in the morning air. Students are beginning to return to campus. A Michigan game week is finally upon us after what seemed like an offseason that would never end.
It began eight long months ago. As the final whistle blew in Atlanta, Florida had just completed its demolition of the 2018 Wolverines 41-15. The loss sentenced Michigan to a 10-3 record for the third time in four years under Jim Harbaugh and left the head coach with plenty of questions on his plate heading into January.
I attended that game in Atlanta. I’ve seen plenty of demoralizing things happen in 20 years of watching Michigan Football; this was near the top of the list.
