While I'm not sure it's possible to set these instances to the Benny Hill theme music, the Michigan Wolverines have had their last few weeks be reminiscent of Notre Dame's on-the-field efforts against them in '06 and '07 (Mind you, not nearly as bad as the Irish effort in those games, but still, not great).  Since fall camp officially started, the following has Yakety Saxed the maize and blue:

• Yesterday, top-notch QB recruit Kevin Newsome decommitted, perhaps heading instead to Virginia Tech and Penn State.  They still have a line on Tate Forcier, but Newsome seemed to be in the fold and a great fit Ric Rodriguez's offense.  (I was also scanning the comments, and this one was particularly hilarious to me.)
• This might not be as big of a problem if the new favorite to start this season wasn't a walk-on.  Of course, last time Michigan played the majority of their season with youth in backfield, Henne and Hart led them to the Rose Bowl.  (And lost to the Irish!  Heyo!)
• And perhaps seeing the writing on the wall in regards to the season, running back Kevin Grady had a bit too much to drunk  earlier in the summer, and has plead guilty to drunk driving.  MGo linked to a report about the arrest, and Grady was apparently not just casually drinking and out for a spin, but drunk to the tune of "Thompson said he asked for a number between 12 and 14, and Grady answered '15.'"  Of course, you could just potentially say that a sober Wolverine couldn't correctly answer that question.  (Again, zing!  On fire!)

Over on the left coast, San Diego State is converting a defensive lineman to left tackle after starter Mike Matamua went down with a foot injury.   The Trojans are still trying to find a replacement for Mark Sanchez after his injury, but there's a tiny bit of talent behind him to fill in until Sanchez can return.  Irish Band of Brothers is keeping track of our 2008 opponents' camps, so be sure and check in there.

Hey, at least none of them had the day this guy did.
