I'm pretty sure it's related to the reason I started posting snarky comments back in December 2011.

Hmm, I'm really curious what this could be. If it was uniform-related, I don't think Steve would say it was really "sweet", unless we were breaking our contract with Adidas and switching back to Nike... realistically though, maybe they're going to announce an update to Schembechler Hall? I suppose that would have an effect on recruiting. I really have no idea.

All that's left is "free Curly Fries," right?

  • Pretty sweet;
  • Big surprise;
  • All #FutureMichiganRecruits will like it;
  • Huge deal, for fans who like huge deals;
  • Adds to rivals' loathing of Hoke/overeating/Fred Flinstsone meme;
  • Helps to monetize the #UniversityOfMichigan brand platform;
  • Could lead to "Curly Fry" commemorative uniforms featuring helmet stripes that curl in a fried potato-like corkscrew pattern;
  • Will inspire Eminem and Beyonce' to create a "Curly Fries" anthem for broadcast over Michigan Stadium sound system;
  • Denard Robinson will become new spokesman for Arby's, with an "Eating Curly Fries motion" that will reward him with millions in royalties, such that he will be able to endow a new football scholarship for the Univiersity to be awarded in conjucntion with the #16 jersey.  The #16 jersey will go each year to a freshman defensive back.

The games will be played once renovations are made to Wrigley Field that will allow an entire football field to fit so it won't be another one-way game.

Future recruits could be guys in the '14 recruiting class (such as Ferns).  If the redshirt is granted, Devin will still around when the class of '14 is on campus.  Having a returning starter at QB in the '14 season could be a big deal to those guys.
