Getting started around 7AM. We'll be running most of the day, at least until after the 2PM press conference. We won't shut it down while there is a good possibility any prospects will pick Michigan today.

Anyone know if the Fisher story about commiting to Oregon from Freep has any validity to it?

Hoke has hired Curt Mallory as the new DB coach.  He is the son of former Indiana coach Bill Mallory and his brother Mike is asst special teams coach for the Saints.  Most recently he was the D-coordinator at Akron (last season). Prior to that at Illinois for many years as DB coach and co-coordinator. Played for U-M from '88-92.  The staff is complete.  Sorry a little off topic re: signing day.  I am too new to the site to start a new thread.  My neighbor is Mallory's brother and she texted me last night that he got  hired.  Should hear somthing official today or tomorrow I'd guess.

I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.

Corwin Brown was actively looking to get on the staff but apparently wasn't interviewed.  I wonder why?
