Fair use rationale for Image:Michigan BlockM.jpg
Image:Michigan BlockM.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:47, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Statistics
Why does this article include an exhaustive table of statistics when the other featured football articles do not? see 2005 Texas Longhorns football team and 2007 USC Trojans football team. I used to add stats to the Penn State articles but at some point I had my fingers cracked and was told that a stats table is a "no-no" on wikipedia. Dincher (talk) 00:00, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

 * People who want to know about Michigan football or any other sports teams expect stats. Almost any basic GA review for a sports team requests that stats be added. I don't know how much stats is too much, but these stats seem to be basic stats of interest to a reader about a sports team and worthy of being WP:PRESERVEd.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:23, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Possibly false claim?
In section 'Pre-season': "The 1997 Michigan team was the first since the 1969 team to have no Rose Bowl veterans."

This claim is sourced from the Chicago Tribune's 1997 preseason preview (the claim is not found in the second listed source from the New York Times). Obviously the Tribune is generally a trusted source, but this claim seems dubious. Michigan had a 4-year Rose Bowl drought from 1972 to 1975, the same length as the Rose Bowl drought heading into 1997. So unless there was some sort of special case with a player's eligibility, a freshman on the 1971 Rose Bowl squad could not have played for the 1976 squad. This would mean that the 1976 team also had no Rose Bowl veterans.
