The Weekend Roundup: The Aftermath Edition: 12/3/08
/So, there's a house for sale in Barton Hills then, right.
Herbstreit's fault says Terry Foster.
Here is the sad thing. Miles wanted Michigan. Michigan wanted Miles. But somehow an Ohio State man ruined it. I just don't understand how this could happen.If Herbsteit did not report this story Athletic Director Bill Martin would be speaking to him today about coming to Michigan.
Impartiality from ESPN's analyst? I think not. Here he is trying to defend himself (from WDFN via MLive):
All I can tell you, at the end of the day," he said, "what happened was I really believe that he was going to be announced as Michigan's coach and LSU felt that they were tired of hearing about this, and the fact that it was on national TV, and their players were sitting around, and there's all this speculation. They needed to do something quickly, and they did."
Ya, thanks. You'll probably get a fresh set of gold pants for that one.
