SIGNING DAY, 2013

(Click the Image to See Full Size Version)

Yeah, I'll post this now, even though I know everyone's reading the Live Blog before Coach Hoke's press conference begins. Good day, no surprises...

I also used to do a post on this day every year cautioning all of us to remember not to rain on any young man's dreams today, this is their moment to shine. etc.  But as far as I can see there's no rain on the forecast.  Great class, great day, Great To Be, etc.

Friday Fun will discuss this thing called basketball, and how exciting it was last night.


Some new formatting news for the New Year:

THE BLOCKHAMS™ runs (typically) every Wednesday here at MGoBlog and on its official home page.  Also, don't forget to check out the Friday Fun, my weekly single panel comic based on trending Michigan events, available on Twitter and the home page every Friday.

Sorry... Last year I read a great article about how some of the industry pro's of the past write the script to fill the balloon-- meaning, they put the balloon into the artwork and then tried to choose just the right words to get their point across AND fill up the balloon in a visually pleasing manner at the same time.

It's harder than it sounds... and I was also multi-tasking at the same time. Sorry, and thanks for the catch.
