The world woke up to “scandal in Ann Arbor” today, and in my life, there has never been anything more blown out of proportion than the allegations from the now-dead-to-me Free Press.  And wow, was it picked up everywhere.  It filled the airways of local and national talk radio, and took up the first 15 [...]

A 24-hour roller coaster, that’s what I’ve been on.  You probably had a nice Sunday.  Probably watched the Tigers beat the Rays and enjoyed the cool fall-preview weather.  Me?  I surfed the internet, because, well, that’s what I do best.  Scouring the ends of cyberspace, I took in the good and the bad.  I went [...]

Using a technique learned via the greatest hoop coach of all time, I did some research of my own. I called some current and former writers at the Detroit Free Press. You will be surprised at what I found out:

…we’ve got a distraction.  A big one.

I hope Tuesday’s post didn’t relax you too much, just as I hope this one doesn’t have you tossing and turning all weekend…

1) Piped in Music: What would it take for me to convince you that piped in music is a great idea?  If I said it would help us win just one more game, would you get on board?  I’ve been to every Big Ten venue.  And yes, there was a time when I mocked those [...]

So after a hard fought victory over WMU we welcome Big Charlie and his Fish Eaters to the BH.  Now I understand that some of my naysayers don’t like the comparisons and excuses for losses or “near wins” but my goal is not to refute that 2008 was a terrible year, just to point out [...]

Mustaches for Michigan is gaining some steam in a grass roots effort.  The basic premise?  Grow out your lip hair to show your support for Michigan in a “screw you, I love RichRod” kinda way.  Hey, I’m all for it, just don’t think I can have a respectable one before September 5th.  Cook is all [...]

Editors Note: FINALLY somebody else is writing!  Welcome back Johnny Cleveland…
I am breaking my silence because I am about to break some necks.  I am sick and tired of all this talk of us being much improved and doubling our win total from 2008 to 6 wins in 2009.  Of course I am aware of [...]
