Caught Michigan’s spring football practice on Saturday. They looked pretty good.

Noteworthy: freshman running back Carlos Brown showed some jets. Sophomore Kevin Grady looked very, very comfortable catching passes one-on-one against the linebackers. Backup QB Jason Forcier is faster than Henne but threw several forced passes that were nearly picked for six. Wideout LaTyrrell Savoy (sp?) showed good hands and made a nice catch near the end zone that got the crowd buzzing.

My prediction after watching the scrimmage? 8-4.

New Scientist Breaking News - Giant dino-predators may have hunted in packs

Giant predatory dinosaurs may have hunted in packs to bring down the biggest plant-eating prey.

The evidence comes from the first detailed analysis of the remains of giant predatory dinosaurs uncovered in Patagonia over a span of five years, starting in 1997. The 100-million-year-old bones come from a previously unknown species closely related to Giganotosaurus, a huge and slightly older creature also unearthed in Argentina (see “The dino-daddy of all meat eaters”).

The discoverer, Rodolfo Coria of Museo Carmen Funes in Neuquen, Argentina, has named the new species Mapusaurus roseae.

Cool.
