So do I.

Even if he can't post fresh information around here, it would be nice to see him pop up on the board every now and then just to convey that he's still part of the community.   The occasional teaser probably wouldn't be bad for business (here or at ESPN), either.

Yeah... I suspect there's an automatic renewal of your free subscription tied in there, and I know I'll forget.

I miss Tom too.  I wonder how many more people would be inclinded to subscribe if our 2012 class were not so full already.  Not nearly as much news to report, though still some big names on the board for the last few spots in the class.

If you have an ESPN Insider account, you have access to Wolverine Nation.  The cheapest way to do that (last I looked) is to subscribe to ESPN The Magazine, which you can usually get for about $25 a year.  Depending on how much you like photos of nude male and female athletes, this might be a bargain.

and all those other deal sites daily.  About a year ago I got a subsription to ESPN the magazine for $4/yr for 4 years.  Just saying, you can get a ridiculously good deal if you can find it.  I really don't even read the magazine but it is totally worth it for the insider articles.

I feel like we are going to have some movement soon with some more commits, which is why I got the free trial.

 

I don't have to remember about cancelling, just set a reminder on my calendar, and I'll get an email exactly when I'll want to cancel, a few days before the month is out.

 

Go blue.  Beat litte brother.

Don't they always have a free 30-day trial offer? 

If I were to jump on that, I'd probably wait until the offseason when (1) it's harder to satisfy Michigan football cravings and (2) more is likely to happen recruiting-wise over the course of a month.

I did the trial right when the site came out, and Tom is pretty much the only reason to get on WN.  Most of Rothstein/Jennings' stuff isn't paywalled, and the stuff that is I find hasn't been super informative (other than an interview with DB). IMO it's not worth it unless you get it for really cheap, unless you are really into following the recruiting side.

... quasi-spamming MGB to get users to send money to the Evil Four-Letter?

When you leave the family, we wish you well.  But it's important to keep the money in the family.

Of course they require a credit card, and of course it's charged unless you stop.  It's called "forced continuity."   It's also lame that you have to register before you can even easily get the cost information.

Without commiting for a year (or two), the Insider sub is $6.95 per month, or $83.40 per year.  Take have of that, and click on "Beveled Guilt," at the upper right above.

At ESPN, those guys have all the money...
