From their viewpoint: "MICHIGAN WOLVERINES: U of M to face tough Crimson Tide in opener" Quote In case you hadn’t heard, Michigan football opens its 2012 season against defending national champion Alabama on Sept. 1. A daunting task for the Wolverines, ranked No. 8 in the USA Today Coaches’ preseason poll, the looming match up with the No. 2 Crimson Tide will serve as an immediate measuring stick for Team 133. “You come to play football at Michigan to play in those kind of ball games,” coach Brady Hoke said. “Playing the defending, reigning national champs is always something that’s a great challenge and a great opportunity.” The season-opening tilt with Alabama was the center of conversation for much of the Wolverines’ media day Sunday, less than a week after Michigan opened fall camp. As Hoke begins his second season at the helm in Ann Arbor by taking on the best the country had to offer a season ago, his goals for this year’s team are no different. “Our expectations are always the same, and that’s to win the Big Ten championship,” Hoke said. “We don’t really care too much about rankings. Like life, it’s not where you start; it’s where you finish....

Title: Re: *** OFFICIAL Michigan Pregame Thread Post by: Chechem on August 14, 2012, 03:18:21 PM Quote “Our expectations are always the same, and that’s to win the Big Ten championship,” Hoke said. They aren't aiming too high now are they? Maybe Hoke could broaden his vocabulary. "Expectations" may have been a poor choice, and certainly the level of his goals is below that of most prominent programs.

They aren't aiming too high now are they? They are not very good at winning the Big 10. Their last conference championship was in 2004 with a 9-3 record. It is not a very tough conference either. tOSU won the BCS title in 2002. Michigan shared a title in 1997. You have to go back to 1968 for another title for the Big 10. 1 1/2 titles in 43 years - thats pretty bad.
