Weekend Roundup, This is Just the Beginning Edition: 2/4/13

Here's what happened this weekend while you helped put Denard on the cover of the next NCAA Football video game.

• Big lights.  Big stage.  Big pooping of the pants.  Oh well, there's more games ahead.  Big ones.  Bigger ones.  And we're gonna win some of them.  We're still growing.  Still learning.  Kids.  And we've still got Trey.  There's time, a lot of it.  6 weeks...9 regular season games followed by the most competitive conference tournament in America.  Then it starts for realzies.   ESPN recap here.   UMHoops initial reaction.  Detroit News recap.

• These internets were a buzz with DB's announcement that we hired a group to catfish our own players.  Then there was some blowback.  Then we denied that it actually happened.  The whole thing came off as weird, but I gotta tell you, I'll take that kind of weird over this kind of weird any day.

• Signing day (February 6th)  is approaching, so if you are into that kind of thing, here's a ESPN-centric schedule.  We have the makings of a pretty good class, which sometimes means a lot, and sometimes means very little.

• AnnArbor.com covered Denard's signing appearance at the MDen, which had a pretty big crowd.  

• Hockey had it's first weekend sweep of the season, and it came against Michigan State, which is nice.  Friday night was a 3-2 victory, and Saturday's matinee was 5-2.
