Weekend Roundup, Molly Ringwold Edition: March 24, 2013

Is it me, or are there only about six different advertisers for all three of the channels broadcasting the NCAA tournament.  Shit is getting repetitive.  Here's what happened around the internet while you got a hole in one, a 5-card royal flush, and won the lottery in the same day:

• We won.  Michigan sent Wofford and Texas back to their respective homes and will move on to Indianapolis to face Tennessee on Friday, and the winner of Louisville vs. Kentucky on Sunday,  Texas blurbs...
  • UMHoops covers Jordan Morgan's career day and his mantra of "I don't want to go home"
  • Ace covers the statistical differences and requests a bow from John Beilein over on MGoBlog
  • Maize and Go Blue gives his three stars to Morgan, GRIII, and Stauskas
  • The Daily Texan says very little
• Maize N Brew has reached part 3 of a 3-part series on how Brady Hoke can get the 9 wins he needs to remain the head coach
• MLive shows the math on how the football teams revenues sustain the Michigan athletic department
• ESPN reports that Graham Glasgow is out for the rest of spring and for the opener against App State.  Preliminary indications it's for a driving related offense.

Also, happy Mike Legg goal (3/24/96) anniversary!

Weekend Roundup: And Sparty Makes Three Edition, 1/27/14

Ahhhhh nature...

So, basketball.  This roller coaster ride is bound to have some additional peaks and valleys before we can put a final label on it.  But to not celebrate the enormity of the last three victories, particularly the one that occurred in East Lansing, would be doing a disservice to top 10 victories everywhere.  Therefore, it's a celebration bitches.  After a brief December hiatus, we are back in THE discussion.  And we are getting very close to always being in that discussion.  That's what a successful program is.   Copy this plan and use it in Schembechler Hall please.  Thanks.

• UMHoops covers the five key plays from Saturday night's victory over the Spartans in the Breslin Center.
• Also from UMHoops, Derrick Walton grew up right before our eyes on Saturday, putting in 19 points.  
• USAToday asks if Michigan is a national title contender
• RIP Dave Strack...Cazzie's Coach

Weekend Round Up, Catfish Week Edition: September 3, 2013

Here's what happened around the Michigan internets this weekend while you organized your Barbie Dolls:

•  Gameday is coming to Ann Arbor for Under the Lights Part Deux.  Herbie will continue his "Les Miles will be the head coach" style sabotage by picking us to win...in the hopes of motivating Notre Dame.
• Here's the whole damn basketball schedule from UMHoops.  Puerto Rico, Durham, Ames, and Brooklyn are all on the menu before the Big Ten season starts.
• Revenge game #1 is on deck, and we (so far) have not participated in the pre-game banter with the Irish.  Also, MeatChicken = Michigan reference.  8th grade insults abound!   
• Last year's game in South Bend sucked. 
• Maize and Brew posted a very solid twitter roundup from Saturday's action. 
• ...and some CMU game action photos from MVictors.
• For the rest of the results from Big Ten country , The Big House Blog has your summary...and a reminder that this conference still sucks. 
• Maize and Go Blue takes a first look at Notre Dame. 

Weekend Roundup: "Wow It's Really Here" Edition, August 26, 2013

Vanderbilt 2006:  Michigan 27 - Vanderbilt 7.  Rained out golf course put us at Mr. and Mrs. Tailgate Girl's college house.

How's everybody doing?  Are we ready for this?  Have you been practicing?  I brought home about 5 extra cases of premium beer that were left over from my wedding because Johnny Cleveland and Bubba weren't thirsty enough and Godfather didn't even bother to attend.  I had to buy a garage fridge to house it all, and I've done a stellar job of dwindling that pile down to a scant case or two by pouring them into my gullet anytime I need to head out to the garage for anything.  In short, my tolerance is up, my spirits are high, and I'm ready to experience a third consecutive year of undefeated home football.

It's game week Monday bitches, and the butterflies are percolating.  Here's what you missed around the internets while you attended a clown wedding...

• Hoke and company landed a corner and a safety for 2015, both 4-stars.  That and more from the alcoholic bloggers over at Maize and Brew.
• Bacon's new book 4th and Long, a follow-up to Three and Out in name only, follows college football for a season at Michigan, PSU, Ohio, and Northwestern.  John U assures me I'm not in this one.  An excerpt appears on MGoBlog, and Tailgate Girl adds that the cover is "textured" for her pleasure. 
• The 1973 team...the one that got jobbed...addressed the 2013 team on Saturday.  Questions such as "Why did the Ohio game end in a tie instead of with overtime?" were probably fielded from the 18-22 year old crowd.  MVictors has more.
• Isn't is sacrilege to have a Sunday conversation with Satan himself?  The worldwide leader thinks not.
• The fact that you clamored for Drew Henson to start notwithstanding, Tom Brady spoke to the team last Thursday.  Detroit Sports Site talks about the positive impact in the era of Aaron Hernandez.
• Darboh's out, so we're looking for a few good (Fresh) men.  Rittenburg gives the rundown. 
• Let's take a look at the Chips with MaizeandGoBlue.com.
• Rittenburg ranks the top 25 players in the Big 10, and Taylor Lewan is #2.
• UMHoops says the non-conference schedule is locked down for Michigan Basketball.  See you in Durham on Dec 3. 

Weekend Roundup, Better Late Than Never Edition: 2/25/13

​Here's what happened this weekend (and Monday) across the internets while you spent some quality time with John Beilein...

• ​Touch the Banner makes a quick list of Wolverine NFL free agents.  The Lions should pick up all of them...if they'd like me to be a fan that is.
  
• The Fighting Burke's put away the Illini with a strong second half at the Center.  ESPN Recap  | ​ Maize and Go Blue Recap 
• MGoBlog reports D-Line coach Jerry Montgomery has left Michigan for Oklahoma.  Fairly certain Brady coaches the D-Line...but his recruiting prowess will apparently be what we miss.  ​
• As a football streaker that hasn't missed a game since mid-'99, I can't even fathom the dedication (and ridiculous cost) of attending every home and away basketball game for 39 years.  AnnArbor.com covers a woman that has done just that.​
• Hockey #BeatOhio in Columbus on Friday, and completed the sweep on Saturday.​  Amazing that it was just their 2nd and 3rd road wins of the entire season.
• Maize and Blue nation reminds us that Denard is fast.  Still convinced that he's not made for the next level, but ya...fast. ​ ESPN covers some other Big Ten combine numbers.
• Ohio beat little brother in hoops ​on Sunday, daring us to hold serve and hope for another Indiana loss to get at least a piece of that Big Ten title.
• BHGP reports on the difficulty of being a Hawkeye these days.​
• Eleven Warriors pleads "A Student's Case Against Noon Games" and I'm all for it.  Can't make breakfast AND lunch at the tailgate with a noon kick.​
• ​ESPN reports on a member of the 2017 recruiting class...a child that has two offers from the SEC.  Tom Brady's new contract will just about be expiring then.
