Nick Baumgardner • AnnArbor.com

Michael Spath • TheWolverine.com
Brady Hoke has made it clear that in 2012, it's Big Ten title or bust for Michigan. U-M either succeeds or fails in that endeavor. It's black or white. Similarly, this fall represents one or the other, boom or bust (well, maybe not quite bust) for a group of seniors .
