I hope Tate does the same to Denard with the Heisman.

Didn't this used to be called the Michigan Basketball Bust? And isn't that a more appropriate title for it this year?

I am a little relieved to see McLimans as the most improved player award recipient....he will need to play a very big role next year.
I'm not sure what it says about the team that the most improved player did not actually play 1 minute.
Hopefully it means that Blake is ready to make an impact next year. Could also mean that none of the players who actually played improved all that much.
like ive been saying all year...deshawn sims was our best player
Has Manny hired an agent yet?
I remember after his presser Tim saying he was planning on hiring one with no intention of returning next year. But as I see more and more highly projected players declaring for the draft, I just wonder if Manny at least left the door open for a return.
Don't know if he's hired an agent yet, but he's made it crystal clear he isn't coming back.
From the picture here, though, it does appear as if he's hired a fashion consultant. (Gotta love the coordinating watch and tie.)
