Will Hoke's Luck Hold?

In my fifty years of serious U-M football watching, this pre-season was the most difficult for me to parse. Will the 2011 Wolverines be any good? Will they be awful? The strands of information are a tangle of competing uncertainties.

After the spring game, I posted a note on Brian Cook's MGoBlog, suggesting that the Wolverines' beleaguered 2010 defense, perhaps the worst in Michigan history, might be "average" or even "above average" in 2011.

Government, business, environment, the U-M, and more.
