LSU needs a new defensive coordinator.
LSU needs a new head coach.

…you’d be pissed at how screwed we’re getting on this bowl bid.
Option #1:
West Virginia or Missouri lose, Ohio State goes to National Championship game that they will win just to ruin your 2008… Illinois goes to BCS. Michigan goes to Citrus Bowl of the Capital One variety.
Result of option #1:
You hold a razor [...]

It’s been more than two weeks since Lloyd Carr announced his retirement and I’m not sure I feel any different than I did prior to his announcement. The anticipation is no longer there. It left rather quickly in fact. LSU losing may have dampened my enthusiasm for Les Miles and the search in general but [...]

ESPN just reported that LSU has granted Michigan the opportunity to speak with Les Miles…but only after the SEC championship game. And that’s fair, because they are undefeated in regulation.
Oh, and Chris Spielman prefers Ferentz for Michigan in an article that has a title that is missing the words “EX-BUCKEYE.”
***UPDATE: Story now on ESPN.com. [...]

Kirk Ferentz…nope. Back to trying to figure out the Cyclones.
Ron English…hope you enjoyed your interview.
Mike DeBord…hope you didn’t even enjoy your interview.
Brian Kelly…worked as a press agent for Gary Hart’s run for president. That’s not a joke. No thanks, enjoy the MAC.
Gary Pinkel…despite the magical 2007 season, you’re under .500 in conference. [...]

The rumors at MGoBlog are scaring me…a little. Iowa folk seem to believe that Ferentz has been offered…and accepted the job. Not sure if I want a guy that is 3-6 against their version of Michigan State, and is 2-4 against the coach he is replacing. The pinnacle of his career [...]

Apologies to those of you that tried to access UMTailgate.com this morning.  Big faux pas on my part letting the domain name lapse due to some confusion between my domain name company and my registration company.  Whoops!  Anyway, we’re back now.

Freezing temps. 4:15am wake up call. In line at 5:45am. In a folding chair staking claim on the 7th hole green at 6am. Gates open at 7am. Tailgate.
It was a truly amazing turnout for a game with limited tickets and freezing rain in the forecast.
The tables were once again filled, [...]

The season started with hype that was unachievable, a loss for the ages that was unbelievable, and a beat down by Oregon that, in the Big House, was inconceivable. “Lloyd should step down!” the legions of fans shouted as the town burned down around them. At 0-2, and with 4 consecutive losses, this [...]

After reading all the internet rumors about Lloyd Carr’s impending retirement (which has been internet rumor for many years now, let’s not kid ourselves…) I immediately equated his relationship with us, the fan base, to a girlfriend we just broke up with. I feel confused and frankly I’m a little nervous. Prior to the break [...]
