Anthony believes Harbaugh to Michigan is a done deal?
December 5th, 2014 at 10:05 PM ^
I'm not sure. Let me know if he doesn't so I can start sending him hate mail.
December 5th, 2014 at 10:40 PM ^
Two wrights don't make a wrong
December 5th, 2014 at 9:33 PM ^
No Anthony is being offered
December 5th, 2014 at 9:35 PM ^

Writer responds with 'if your (sic) serious'...
...was that meant to be ironic?
December 5th, 2014 at 9:37 PM ^
Oh you're back again, huh? I didn't even realize (which definitely points to a better start than before). I certainly hope you can last a week or two longer this time around than your prior incarnations.

Best memory of this guy was against UCONN at Crisler in 2010 he was crazy from the 3
December 6th, 2014 at 12:25 AM ^
I seem to associate him with the Oklahoma game. IIRC he was hitting shots and basically single-handedly keeping us in the game as Blake Griffin just rampaged on poor Novak (it also helped that Blake basically just jumped on people and they were called for the foul for daring to get in the way of another highlight reel dunk)
December 6th, 2014 at 5:16 AM ^
manny got called for two horrible fouls against griffin; one for just merely boxing him out for a rebound and backing him under the basket. we win that game but for those two bad calls, since manny fouled out, iirc.
the refs protected griffin, their superstar, but not ours.
December 6th, 2014 at 5:16 AM ^
and there's another shot of griffin's parents in the crowd. how nice.

At last report, Wright coached in Linden (near Flint) after a little time spent at Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard in 2011. I would be curious to know if that's still the case actually. He did some work in Ypsilanti at another school as well and seemed to have something of a passion for coaching young kids - it would have been interesting to have some more in-depth answers on that.
December 5th, 2014 at 10:02 PM ^
I did ask him that, he answered it in the interview lol, I asked him what his current job is, look at the interview!

I find the constant self promotion of your log on another to be in poor taste. Even if I was interested in the content I probably wouldn't click on the link as this is the wrong way to generate traffic.
December 5th, 2014 at 11:04 PM ^
First, I don't have ads so traffic is pointless to me, and second, it's my 2nd time.... People

Your second time? If by that you mean your second username, yes. And you wore out your welcome with the first one incessantly pushing your content.
Also, a kind reminder, note the correct usage of your in this post. If you want to be a journalist, these things matter.

Are you aware that he's only 14 yrs old? Give him a break.
December 6th, 2014 at 8:05 AM ^
Right? Do you old asses want young fans to be as emotionally invested as you are in Michigan or not? You can't have it both ways. I joined the site when I was 14 as well.
December 6th, 2014 at 10:40 AM ^
Same. 14 years seems to be a more common start age than I thought.
December 6th, 2014 at 1:07 PM ^
Second time posting a thread....

He seems like a fan who is just doing this for fun.
Based on the prevalence of posters here who have blogs and advertise them in their signatures, or who have had their material posted to the board when they have something good/funny to say, I don't see the issue.
Brian has a whole giant list of links to different Michigan blogs on the side bar and to my knowledge has never been like, "Hey, don't post videos from MZone, or recruiting info from Touch The Banner." Based on all of that information, if Brian doesn't have a problem with it, I don't see why you or anyone else should.
People who have written for or created other Michigan blogs have always been a huge part of this site.
December 6th, 2014 at 8:00 AM ^
Agreed. Thanks man, I talked to Seth and Lsa and I'm in the clear!

Did you ask him about Amadou Ba? I would always ask about Amadou Ba.

Amadou Ba: last seen at Crisler wearing his letter jacket four years after he graduated. Love that guy.

The GOAT!
December 6th, 2014 at 12:00 AM ^
if so, pretty sweet.
if he's some 35 year old, then, well, weird.
December 6th, 2014 at 7:59 AM ^
Yes I'm 14, and why would it be wierd if I'm 35? Lol

You're telling everyone you are 14.
Keep up the good work!

I enjoyed the interview.
December 6th, 2014 at 4:03 AM ^
One of my close friends. Anthony is awesome and by far the funniest person I've ever met

The Wright Stuff!!! Great interview. I think Amaker is an oddly similar situation to Hoke. A good teacher and high character individual who doesn't have the strategic acumen that it takes to win at a high level. I'm getting through this football off season by reminding myself that the bball situation was even bleaker 10 years ago.
December 6th, 2014 at 8:56 AM ^
He actively roots for Michigan every game and has some actual insight into what is going on (just saying). All I remember from him playing was cringing every time he took a three I just never thought he was going to make it, but still one tough dude and brought every other aspect of his game to the floor.
Glad to see he is doing well in his life after Michigan.
December 6th, 2014 at 9:05 AM ^
NIce interview. Do yourself a favor and check question 17 for a redundant apostrophe. Then it will be perfect. And about those critics: for someone fourteen, you are already kicking ass. Keep up the good work.
