 As a Michigan fan interested in a preseason football magazine, you have two choices:
1. Two pages written by a fellow from North Carolina who thinks "Troy Woolfork" is the son of Michigan legend "Butch Woolfork" and an up and coming cornerback.
2. Books written by company men who can't level a critcism, fair or not, without losing the access that is the lifeblood of their coverage.
Now you have a third: Hail to the Victors 2008, written by and for Michigan fans.
HTTV 2008 is a different sort of preview publication, one that takes a hopeful but realistic look at a new era of Michigan football. The magazine:
- puts Rich Rodriguez under the microscope in two different articles, one detailing his rapid ascension from NAIA schools to West Virginia and Michigan, the other explaining just what makes his offense so unstoppable and what Michigan can expect when he gets his hands on four- and five-star recruits.
- profiles Blitz-mad defensive coordinator Steve Shafer.
- looks back at the 1969 Ohio State game that changed the program, and the Big Ten, forever
- relives the crazy weeks leading up to Rodriguez's selection
- analyzes the first years of college football's premiere coaches
- explains just what went wrong at middle linebacker after David Harris went to the NFL
- picks out a dozen recruits you should keep your eye on
- comprehensively previews the Michigan team and their twelve opponents
And then the are two articles the likes of which you can't get anywhere else. In one, Craig Ross sneaks his way into a Scot Loeffler quarterbacks meeting. In the other John Saward has a heartfelt conversation with outgoing coach Lloyd Carr.
Hail to the Victors 2008 is the best preview on the market for the diehard Michigan fan. If you're sick of surface-level coverage and want to dive into the beating heart of the Michigan program, this is your source.
