Hail to the Victors 2007: An Annual Guide to Michigan Football

by Brian Cook (editor)

Hail To The Victors 2007 is the must-have preview book for all Michigan fans. While national publications spend a page—if you’re lucky, two—covering the Wolverines, Hail to the Victors is 112 pages of the best analysis available anywhere, from passionate fans who know the program backwards and forwards. Included inside are a look at the strengths and weaknesses of Michigan’s new zone running game, an analysis of new offensive coordinator Mike DeBord, profiles of Mike Hart and Shawn Crable, a complete recruiting breakdown (including a look at incoming freshman Ryan Mallet, Chad Henne’s heir apparent), and detailed looks at each of Michigan’s 2007 opponents.

Those opponents will face one of the nation’s premier teams. Michigan bounced back from a disappointing 2005 season with a fantastic Big Ten season and Rose Bowl berth, and are now poised to make a run at the crystal football. Chad Henne, Mike Hart, Mario Manningham, Adrian Arrington, and Jake Long all return to what promises to be one of the most explosive offenses in Michigan history, while Terrance Taylor and Shawn Crable anchor Ron English’s sophomore defense. Oregon, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Ohio State all travel to Ann Arbor, giving the Wolverines home-field advantage for their toughest tests.

It will be a season of excitement, and Hail to the Victors 2007 is the perfect way to kick it off. The diehard Michigan fan won’t be ready for the upcoming season without it.

36 days and I can't wait. Doesn't get much better than this. Also the 2012 edition was self-published and I apparently went to high school with one of the biggest donors. Makes my $15 seem like chump change.
