Interesting List: Top 10 Michigan Transfers of All Time
Really interesting new list I just saw on Facebook. With Duncan Robinson and Charles Matthews fresh on the brain, this guy ranked the top 10 Michigan football and basketball transfers of all time.
I had forgotten about a lot of these players, and some of them I had no idea were transfers (including No. 1). Rudock made the list; O'Korn did not. Interesting list.

"How Big Colleges Prey on Fan Loyalty to Fight Back Against Scandals"
I know this subject has be covered ad nausem...
But I ran across this relatively well written article that does a pretty good job of dissecting the thought processes that many of us finding puzzling at the least and repulsive to many more.

Georgia Tech Disses Wilcher; Wilcher Isn't Happy
Cass Tech coach (and former U-M star) Thomas Wilcher tweeted that he was dissed by Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson and his staff when he brought a group of 100 football players from Michigan to Atlanta for some sort of clinic.
I dunno know to embed tweets, but this is what Wilcher wrote: "Never again. GEORGIA TECH Paul Johnson head Coach and coaching staff NO SHOW!! 100 strong FOOTBALL PLAYERS FROM MICHIGAN and NO SHOW ANY GT COACH!! WOW!"
(Edited to remove references to the 1934 Willis Ward incident.)
Maurice Hurst not requested back to NFL medical rechecks
Meaning the NFL apparently has rechecks for medical issues, and Hurst wasn't requested back for them. Sign that most teams likely don't have an issue with the self-described irregular EKG he had at the combine.
Great news for him, looks like he's still solidly in the first round and soon to be paid.
