the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

Michigan Daily Breaking News: Tate Forcier not yet enrolled in classes this semester
As if we didn't have enough to cry about right now:

He's got until January 25 to enroll but has not done so yet. Does this mean he's on his way out, or is he slacking on picking his classes, or what?
BTN Blogger's Big Ten Power Rankings
Michigan is #8 behind MSU, Purdue and Northwestern.
Considering the defense surrendered 33.3 points per game in Big Ten play last year with now-departed stars Brandon Graham and Donovan Warren, the Michigan offense figures to have a lot of pressure on itself. Luckily, the unit should be much improved in Year 3 under Rich Rodriguez, whether it's Tate Forcier or Denard Robinson leading the way.

CONTEST: dupe Deadspin
This is totally classy and awesome:

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to craft a fake "dumbest student athlete" entry, get it posted on Deadspin, and then send me the email correspondence. Any winner gets to direct the design of an MGoShirt and three shirts.
OT - Rejection Letters (the book!)
CNN has a Q and A up with an editor who compiled a book of rejection letters. In it, he says his favorite rejection letter is from a student who applied to Princeton's "Law School", only to be told that Princeton didn't have a law school.
So, its all very innoculous, but if you look at the pictures (#7), you actually get to see the rejection letter. The address? 1805 Washtenaw, Ann Arbor, MI. The guy was a Michigan alum.
/facepalm
He did get into Harvard Law though, so the story isn't all bad.

Comparing white players to white players
I just read an article about Tebow that had the phrase "think Chris Cooley" in it.
Everyone knows that white players are only ever compared to other white players. Does anyone know of some particularly egregious examples (i want to write a longer post about this)?
They must be out there, especially around draft time.
I like this one a lot: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/27/gerhart-jokes-about-only...
BlueFront95's failure
So I jsut read through all 300+ posts on BlueFront95's diary, Jury's still out on Rodriguez", and I noticed how he is sitting at -504 points. How long do you think it will take him to be at the 20 point mark? Although after reading his post it seems like he needs to wait awhile until he should contribute.
