With all that holiday time off, I had so many plans. Multiple postings about the assistant coaching situation, the Capital One Bowl, recruiting…all in my head, but never came to fruition. Ah well. Hope it was relaxing for all of you as it was for me. This will no doubt be [...]

Debord…
English…
Everybody….outta here. And don’t you DARE say you didn’t want it. You did. You wanted them all gone.
The fiesta continues.

Noticed a new article on Freep…
WVU DEPARTURE: Rodriguez moves up resignation date
Must have worked out the buyout or something.  So by the time you read this, he’s ours, all ours.
**UPDATE: Looks like MSC had this first…and adds the tidbit that RichRod is attending practice tomorrow.

It’s a party. You’re invited.
To say that RichRod’s exodus to A2 is on the tongue of the collective mainstream media would be a gross understatement. Everybody has weighed in, and have done so with similar opinions: amazing hire, welcome to the 21st century, the Wolverines are back. All great things, all [...]

A collective tear has been shed by the bachelors of Wolverine nation. We have lost a good one…to Notre Dame.
The Princess, daughter of The Godfather and Godmother, cousin to Goody, Aiden’s aunt, Kelly’s sister, and niece to Captain Michigan, has agreed in principle to terms outlined in a verbal contract of marriage to James [...]

Ahhh, the days of cameraphones. A West Virginia fan caught some images of the newest Michigan Man heading to Ann Arbor. With him? Calvin Magee (assistant head coach and offensive coordinator), Tony Gibson (defensive backs coach and recruiting coordinator), and his wife. What does this tell us? Probably that Vance [...]

Hardly breaking news now, but in case you live under a rock and/or don’t know how to get your browser off of UMTailgate.com, Michigan has hired Rich Rodriguez. MGoBlue made it official this afternoon. Don Nehlen tells you why in the Detroit News:
Former West Virginia coach Don Nehlen, under whom Rodriguez played and [...]

It’s been all quiet at Fort Schembechler since the UMTailgate.com media blackout. OK, just kidding. Rumors are still flying.
From the coaching front:

There’s a deal on the table for Les, for less. Rumor has it we have put 2.5 million out there, just a million shy of LSU’s guarantee if Les wins one [...]

Too many rumors, too much news…and it’s all bad, if you listen to the pundits.
The truth is, it’s all bullshit. The perception that nobody wants the Michigan job is retarded. The idea that Les Miles turned down the Michigan job is wrong. You can’t reject that which has never been offered. [...]

…the Candidates Bowl.
It occurs on January 5th, which is crap. There shouldn’t be any bowls between the BCS bowls and the BCS championship. Also, it’s in Canada, which is steaming crap. And finally, it has Ball State and Rutgers in it, which is a really horrible matchup of two programs who [...]
