Radio, Then Ill-Timed Vacation
Two items:
1. I'll be on WTKA at 4 PM today with John U Bacon. Recruiting will be a main topic of discussion, and we may get into other things.
2. I am going on a fairly ill-timed vacation starting Thursday that will last until the 15th. In my stead there will be a number of guest posters: Dylan from UMHoops, Tim from Yost Built, Tim from Varsity Blue, various Wolverine Liberation Army posters, MVictors, the Hoover Street Rag folks, and others. There should be content every day, and I'll be able to check in at least a few times throughout the course of my absence.

"the Spirit of Michigan...is based on a deathless loyalty to Michigan and all her ways....and a conviction that nowhere is there a better university, in any way, than this Michigan of ours" - Fielding Yost
and the possibility of more Unicorns to come?
or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
hope the ill-timing is for that reason only, that there's nothing emergency-like going on.
Have a great time, you deserve a vacation. I'm sure the guest posters will manage to cover for you just fine. Hopefully.
I just listened to the interview, and I thought you sounded good. I didn't detect any nervousness at all. Some people that are brilliant writers don't necessarily sound good in interviews, and vice versa, but you did well.
Also, hey John Bacon.....Shut up for a second, and let him talk!...sheesh! Can't a brother get a word out?
Have fun on vacation...hope its someplace warm!
Could be someplace cool (cold) like Aspen, Vail, etc.
Life should not be a journey to the grave to arrive safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What A Ride!" HST
You mean some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, a place where women flock to like the salmon to the cappastrono? I'm taking about a little place called Asssspen.
Soooo I tried to listen to the interview and Part 1 and Part 2 are exactly the same. Anyone else have that issue?
No question, Jim.
I took a look at the MP3 files for the podcasts, and part 2 doesn't exist (at least at the time I'm posting this).
well i guess i have to fill the void of being the sole dissenter here. Brian, you fucking blog and already work from home. to hell with you getting a vacation.
i only respect other superfans
Bilas, after Michigan beat Duke, said to my friend who's an usher that, "Manny Harris was the best guy in the country with his first step to the hole." Now he pretty much calls him a problem. Hey Bilas your a damn assbag! Go play one on one with your buddy Amaker, nutcase!
Hail!
Bacon is a good guy and all, but he's one of the worst interviewers I've ever heard. I think he would much prefer interviewing himself, so he could do all the talking, instead of having to suffer the indignity of actually allowing his guest to talk. Just shut the hell up and let your guy speak, for chrissakes. Jesus.



....what, guest posting from them???
Have you ever heard of the song Gypsies in the Palace....hopefully there's still a mgoblog upon your return.
Just kidding, of coure.....enjoy your vacation, well earned and likely overdue.
Hopefully you're going somewhere warm with beaches.
