Tommy Blamaker.
Quotes can be taken out of context, however, the terrific U of M beatwriter for the Ann Arbor News, Nate Fenno is credible and reliable. Fresh off his first loss of the season, replete with characteristic sloppy play, quick shots and catatonic effort, Tommy Amaker publicly pointed the finger at one of his players. According to Amaker, "Lester is out of sync right now. For us to become the type of team we aspire to be this season, we're going to need Lester to play to his potential. Right now, it's not there.'' It's unlikely Amaker would have singled out Abram if Michigan beat NC State, afterall, they would've been 8 and 0. Perhaps Amaker was just musing about Abram coincident with a loss. Perhaps, however, Tommy was typically deflecting blame in the wake of another embarrasing effort on national television. Perhaps Athletic Director Bill Martin is watching.
