the presser and I am literally emotional!  This is amazing to watch Jim Hackett talk about the Unverisity and his passion is evident!  

Edit:  I literally stood up and clapped (emotionally) with my wife and 10 month old clapping as well!  I emphatically as if we had scored a touchdown yelled, "YEA, YEAAAAAA, YEAAAAAA"!

Did anyone else notice Jim Hackett said he will be evaluating the football program in a year? Or have I totally missed an announcement somewhere? Thanks.

That caught my ear too. Pretty sure he said "I". Of course he is the AD for the interdeterminate future, so I think that's a proper manner of speaking even if he doesn't plan on actually being around. Really though, at this point do you think anyone would mind? He did such a bang-up job on the coaching search I think the posistion is his to keep, provided he actually wants it of course.

Iowa City born and bred.  The Elliots are family friends, though, and in college at a little school in Ohio, I watched more Michigan football than Iowa.  We played Michigan's defense and I was the guy called a 'monster.'  No one tackled like Michigan under Bo.

This hire is great for Michigan football and great for the Big Ten.  I'm happy for you, for the game, and the conference.
