Happy New Year Thread

While there are 9 hours to go in the Michigan time zone until 2015 some of us will begin to drop off as we prepare for a night of festivities (while checking our phones every few hours hour half-hour minutes for MOAR good news).  Our European Wolverines are just about to enter New Year in a few  hours and our Asian/Australian Wolverins are already there so Happy New Year to all.

2014 was a trying year on so many levels especially with football but the early departures in basketball esp Mitch being forced out of the NCAA, were a downer too.   But thinking back to where things stood on Oct 1 vs Jan 1 (well almost) it's an amazing 180 turn.   Confidence in Schlissel, Hackett - very high - we barely knew Schlissel Oct 1, and none of us knew Hackett.

Both our top revenue programs now are in the hands of builders.  We have become used to our basketball team growing as the season builds month by month.... it's been lacking in the football program.  No more.  Year over year Beilein jumps will be joined by Harbaugh leaps.  Two good men of high moral ground with top notch acumen.  They are winners in life and role models that their players will be talking about for decades after they graduate.

I dont follow all the sports like some of you guys but continued success to women's softball, let's see some more turnaround in hockey and good vibes to the rest of the sports as well.

Thanks Brian and staff for this place to gather thru good and bad times.  Ace wishing you best health in 2015 and ability to withstand the avalanche of typing of HELLO posts coming in next 5 weeks. 

So difficult to pick a best photo of yesterday but as we move forward into 2015 with ridiculous momentum let's just use this one and say "WE ARE IN GOOD HANDS".

WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US? NOBOOOODY
