3 Daniel Bromwich writes an ode to Mike Hart. Luckily, you won't see
the drool on the paper.
Mike Hart's-good, but where does he rank among Michigan's all-
time best? The Daily ranks the top five running backs in Wolverine
history.
Not sure what to expect in this weekend's game? The Daily
breaks down the matchup with Eastern Michigan.

gan depth chart and roster.
Sure you love Ann Arbor's Main Street restaurants and South
University bars. But how does it compare to the city across
the river?

Appalachian St. (Sept. 1), L 32-34: Imagine opening the door to your
dorm room and someone punching you in the face. That's what happened
at the Big House. So much for a National Championship.
Oregon (Sept. 8), L 7-39: Then the person that punched you in the face added
insult to injury by stepping on your crotch and spitting in your ear. Then he walks
out your front door with your girlfriend and steal your laptop. And your pillow.
Notre Dame (Sept. 15), W 38-0: The defeat of the Fighting Irish did two things for Michigan.
First, it gave the Wolverines confidence heading into the Big Ten season. Second, the national
press switched gears from Michigan's 0-2 start to harping on how bad Notre Dame is.
Penn State (Sept. 22), W14-9: For the second week in a row, the Wolverine
defense held its opponent with a touchdown as Michigan beat the Nittany
Lions for the ninth straight time. Michigan safety Artis Chambers had nothing
to do with that, but his play still might cost the Wolverines the game.
at Northwestern (Sept. 29), W 28-16: Chad Henne returned from injury to
lead Michigan to a second-half comeback win. Special thanks to the alarm
clock that woke up the Wolverine defense for the fourth quarter.
Eastern Michigan (Oct. 6): Although it's not a bye week, Michigan will likely get
some much-needed rest when it faces its Huron River rivals. The Wolverines are
7-0 against the Eagles all-time, including a 55-0 steamroller in 2005.
Purdue (Oct.13): Purdue coach Joe Tiller sat on the hot seat after his team
failed twice to capitalize on a Michigan-/Ohio State-less schedule. But his
team returned nine defensive starters and right now, its undefeated.
at Illinois (Oct. 20): Michigan has not lost a game at Memorial Stadium since 1983. But
this year the game starts late, and you never know what can happen under the lights.
Minnesota (Oct. 27): Two years ago, the Gophers captured the Little Brown Jug for the
first time since 1986 thanks to - surprise - a late-game, long run. First-year head coach
Tim Brewster seemed excited about this game at Big Ten Media Day, but we'll see how he
feels after Michigan extends Minnesota a not-so-kind welcome back to the Big House.
at Michigan State (Nov.3): No longer will the Big Ten have John L. Smith to kick around.
The oft-criticized coach was fired after a disappointing 4-8 season. New coach Mark
Dantonio is known as a defensive guru, and other than Wisconsin, he's proved it
at Wisconsin (Nov.10): If the Wolverines had a choice of what time to play Wisconsin at Camp
Randall, they probably wouldn't want a night game. Michigan got its wish because contrary to early
beliefs, this game will not be under the lights. Just less time for the Wisconsin students to get drunk.
Ohio State (Nov.17): Even with the loss of Troy Smith and many of his merry men, Ohio
State is still ranked No. 4 in country. That could be bad news for Chad Henne, Mike Hart
and the rest of the seniors, who don't want to be remembered for one record: 0-4.
