Had a conversation with G-Daddy this afternoon…that’s the Godfather to you at home. He told me he’s actually hung a noose from the ceiling fan with all the depressing news about Michigan Basketball, Terelle Pryor, and RichRod lawsuits, and that he is prepared to use it if things don’t start looking brighter on UMTailgate.com.
Fear [...]

The Freep is all over Michigan Basketball this week, and rightfully so I suppose. It started Tuesday morning with a sports section cover page and an article title with the crafty alliteration “woeful Wolverines.” At the time, with Michigan having won 4 out of their last 5, I was pretty pissed about the [...]

If you are a college basketball fan, you probably spent the evening with ESPN. Indiana vs. Ohio State had the intrigue of Sampson-gate, and was Dan Dakich’s first home game as the IU coach. That was the teaser at 7pm. #1 Tennessee traveled to #14 Vanderbilt in the nightcap at 9pm. [...]

The Pirates fell to the Red Devils for the second time at home in just 10 days. The first time, it knocked Riverview out of contention for a Huron League title. On Monday, the first round of the district playoffs, it ended their season. If you want to read about it, there [...]

The nominees for best of the weekend internets are:

Michigan Baseball plays the Mets on Tuesday. Yes, the New York Mets. [Bring on the Mets - MLive]
Mallet thinks he should be able to play next year. The NCAA is readying the middle finger. [No Reason to Grant Waiver - Rivals]
This is never [...]

Fifteen minutes until tipoff. No tickets. Ahhhh, but this is Michigan Basketball. Tickets can be had at the box office my friends. Even on Jalen Rose Day, you too can garner blue level seats.
It was an odd celebration. It was more about Jalen’s charity, the Jalen Rose foundation, than it [...]

…you do it yourself.  So for today’s two-sport double header action, instead of watching from the couch, a limited crew from UMTailgate.com will be in the stands.  Both Michigan Hockey and Michigan Basketball are coming off of disappointing losses, and play back to back today/tonight just 40 miles apart.   Tip off for the Jalen [...]

Life is full of difficult choices. Tonight, it was Kate vs. Michigan. Michigan wins. Kate and I will meet up in TiVoLand this weekend.
Thanks to Rhode Island vs. UMASS, which was a sweet matchup 12 years ago, we missed the tip live from the barn. No matter, because as they switched [...]

Thanks to MGoBlog for turing the Michigan world on to UMHoops.com. There’s some great stuff over there and they obviously have a thankless job covering what is considered these days to be the “other” sport…so, ya, props. While visiting I couldn’t help but notice the words “dunk contest” and “Petway” in the same [...]

The busy law students at the Harvard of the East Washtenaw Community College of the Appalachians have gathered together and made a new blog. This should be a wake up call to any of you out there that thought creating a blog was too difficult to manage or too technical. The fact that [...]
