INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS "Punch in the gut … still feel it." — Former Michigan and current Oakland Raiders defensive back Charles Woodson on "the tuck" play against Tom Brady and New England in the 2001 AFC Divisional Playoff game; his forced fumble was later ruled an incompletion with 1:47 left to play and the Patriots would win in overtime (Sports Illustrated) "Thirty scouts at the game tonight to see Michigan' Caris LeVert. Tough night for him, going 1-13. Good player. Those things happen. "Have not seen a John Beilein team look that out of sync, but SMU de- fense was awesome. Switched everything and challenged lot of shots." — Tweets from ESPN college basketball analyst and former NCAA head coach Fran Fraschilla following SMU's 82-58 win over Michigan Dec. 8 "I'm very, very impressed. Not surprised because I think they're very good coaches, and I think — I just recruit against that, they are very good recruiters. The previous staff were excellent recruiters, and they have very good players up there." — Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer prior to his team's game at Michigan Nov. 28 THEY SAID IT Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh about his brother, U-M head coach Jim Harbaugh, who was on the sidelines for the Ravens' Dec. 6 game at Miami "It was great having him here. I'm very proud of him. He's down here recruiting. Whoever he's recruiting, I hope they go to Michigan." PHOTO BY BRANDON BROWN
