Article on SI about Michigan recruiting on an elite level and mentions this very site.

Yesterday new Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman decided not to retain former Michigan OC and Bears TE coach Mike Debord.

Debord is officially on the market.

FWIW Marc Trestman was a Golden Gopher QB in the late 1970s.  

So, here's a quick Outback Bowl wallpaper for you all featuring "Captain Gibbons" and his parrot.  This was a fun wallpaper to make, so I hope you enjoy it and get a chuckle out of seeing Gibbons as his boyhood dream.  Now, let's kick some South Carolina/SEC ass!

BONUS CONTENT! Here's my avatar, in case anyone is interested.

Title basically says it all and I think both articles raise interesting discussion: an IUPU-Columbus reseacher put together valuations for NCAA football programs that Gene Wojo used in his overall ranking of head coaching jobs in all of football.

Michigan lands at #3 in football program value, behind Texas and Florida, and lands at #8 (tied with OSU) for overall job in football, with the Packers as #1. Those are obviously pretty great numbers for us but I'm interested in what everyone else thinks of the overall rankings.

Michigan will face South Carolina in the Outback bowl per their official website.  Should be some fun quotes from the OBC

ESPN is now predicting Michigan vs. Texas A&M in the Capital One Bowl.

That'd mean Greg Mattison & Co. vs. Johnny Manziel.

So I went over and looked and Johnny's stats and I was just thinking this kid....OH MY GOD!!!.....
