After a dreary weekend of weather in Ann Arbor, looks like we might get a break this weekend, with future forecasts reporting sunny skies and temps in the mid-70's for Gameday. Of course, I have about as much faith in weather reporting as I do in the pre-season polls.

Looks like good news on the injury front, as Mike Kolodziej's ass-pimple illnessinjury has been magically fixed. He has been cleared to play.

"They were just checking up, everything's good," he said. "It wasn't much of a situation. I'm good to go."

That's very Lloyd of you to be so specific. Amazing how something goes from career threatening to "good to go" so fast. But hey, I'm not complaining. Good to have you back Mikey.

The hard-hitting interview show known as Michigan Replay hit the airways for its 32nd season. Coach Carr didn't dwell very much on last season, spending most of his time praising the Vanderbilt juggernaught to a level that made me uncomfortable about the possible outcome of this Saturday's contest. He did his obligatory pre-season freshman shout-out, listing newcomers that might see some action. No big surprises...but Lloyd did mention that Justin Boren would be back in a couple of weeks.

Injuries:

Antonio Bass: knee, out indefinitely

Justin Boren: ankle, 2-3 weeks

EDITOR's NOTE: Freep now has this article, which outlines the Michigan depth chart (on page 11), and quotes Lloyd as saying Mike Kolodziej will not play this season. So, we can (I guess) add...
