Thanks to Gar for reminding me that I saw this quote yesterday…
“I’m not rooting for Michigan,” said head coach Mark Dantonio, who has spent 11 of the last 14 years working for Michigan State or Ohio State. “I’m going to focus on our task at hand here and worry about the things we [...]

Finally…the pictures from the tailgate prior to Little Brother beating up on Big Brother are ready and waiting for you to enjoy.  Seems like we were having such a good time.  I haven’t smiled since.  Maybe we can find solace in West Lafayette.  I mean, seriously, we can’t lose ALL of our games, can we?
Pictures [...]

Kinda sucks, but we’ve been awfully lucky with the weather so far this season, so we’ll see what happens.  Either way, this probably puts a damper on the formal theme, but we’re moving forward regardless.  Attire for Saturday is Sunday best…SEC style.  On the preliminary menu…ham, cheesy potatoes, country fried steak and eggs, penne with [...]

An excerpt from the Michigan Daily:
“I was just laughing. I thought it was funny. They got excited. Sometimes you get your little brother excited when you’re playing basketball and you let him get the lead. Then you just come and take it back.”-Mike Hart on Nov. 3, 2007

Hey.  How are you?  I often think about how tough this must be for you, riding this out, knowing what you know, and trying to find a way to articulate it at press conferences without betraying the previous regime or belittling the current players.  I think about how the words “you can’t make chicken salad [...]

Michigan State will attempt to break yet another Michigan streak in this year of streak-breakers, that being not having won in Ann Arbor since 1990 (BTW, Desmond’s 2-point conversion was good).  Kickoff has been set officially for 3:30pm.
Also of note, Bubba would like to remind you that THIS IS NOT MICHIGAN BASKETBALL.  In other words, [...]

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 [...]

Much has been made of the “war of words” between Mike Hart and Mark Dantonio. For the second time this season, a coach has responded to comments made by Mike Hart. Isn’t that embarrassing for the coach? I mean, what kind of headway can you make as a leader of men when [...]

It will be posted on their lockers for the next five years. It will make their blood boil. It will be a rallying cry. It will continue the perception that Michigan is arrogant. I couldn’t care less. What is it? It’s Mike Hart’s postgame quote:
I was just laughing,” Hart [...]
