My bad on my first post...
Vern troyer = mini me
I tried to edit it but it was too late.

Not much on here that hasn't already been mentioned but I figured I'd throw it out anyway...

Rich Eisen fron ESPN and NFL network (went to Michigan) and I think Adam Schefter. I've seen him on Sportscenter with a UM helmet in the background on his bookshelf.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:47 PM ^
Never knew this before (from Wiki):
"A graduate of the University of Michigan and Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, Schefter was an editor at the Michigan Daily."
Even more interesting:
"It was so hard to get a job. When I was in college, you couldn’t have done more than I did to get a job in journalism. I was the sports editor with Rich Eisen of The Michigan Daily — we were co-sports editors along with some other people. I was working for the Ann Arbor News covering high school games on the weekends. I was Mitch Albom’s research assistant. I was stringing for the Detroit Free Press doing news updates for them from the Michigan campus. I was sending out resumes to every single newspaper in the country and I truly could not get a single job anywhere. I always tell people that there’s a bar on the Michigan campus called Dominick’s that for every rejection letter you have, they give you a drink. I had so many rejection letters I could’ve owned the bar. I went to graduate school at Northwestern to get my masters in journalism only because I could not get a full time job. There was nobody that would hire me."

Well, now we know why Snyder and Rosenberg are so bitter about being stuck at a dying newspaper. Their Michigan Daily predecessors are doing a lot better than they are.

And I heard he was straight... Both could be rumors but likely one is true and the other false.
February 8th, 2010 at 1:08 AM ^
I heard he died crying like a bitch.
February 8th, 2010 at 11:23 AM ^
when Rich Eisen was at UM. I think he was in Pi Kappa Phi.
February 8th, 2010 at 6:25 PM ^
He was a Pi Kapp. It was a hallowed honor reinforced to everyone pledging.

Whenever they do a wide shot of Adam Schefter on Sportscenter with the bookshelf in the background there is always a copy of Bo's Lasting Lessons over his right shoulder.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:50 PM ^
Wasn't the female anchor from Cold Pizza, I forget her name, a Michigan fan?
February 7th, 2010 at 11:52 PM ^
Didn't she go to school at Michigan?
February 8th, 2010 at 12:04 AM ^
Jacobson was born and raised in Michigan where she attended Andover High School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Subsequently, she attended and graduated from Valley High School in West Des Moines, Iowa, in 1989. Jacobson graduated from the University of Michigan in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and communications.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:11 AM ^
The lovely Miss Jacobson is a Michigan alumnae
February 8th, 2010 at 12:37 AM ^
if I pointed out that alumnae is plural? Or singular but genitive? Yeah I'm a dicks.

Had to login just to say that's the best avatar on the site. "Balls to Monty? I already spent over an hour flattering the bugger."

Alumna:Alumnae :: Alumnus:Alumni
February 8th, 2010 at 12:52 AM ^
Sad to say, I worked at the Alumni Association my junior year at UM but apparently I didn't learn as much as I thought. Always knew that alumnae was for the ladies but didn't know it was plural. A thousand apologies to the multiple ancient language experts on the blog who had to take the time to correct my mistakes.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:26 AM ^
We're not deep enough into the off season to bring out the latin. Though by mid-July I'll be talking ablative absolutes and bitching about how agricola and nauta are actually second declension nouns.
Also, I'm probably wrong about all of this. It's been years.
February 22nd, 2013 at 1:31 PM ^
I remember a few years ago a thread of letters to the editor of Michigan Alumni (magazine of the UM Alumni Association) parsing out all the gender distinctions in Latin between Alumni, Alumnae, etc. It was fairly good-natured and ridiculously nerdly and the question was, in essense, whether the magazine and the association were both named so as to exclude the ladies. After much discussion, everyone threw up there hands and concluded it was fine as is.

I believe Lupe Fiasco is a michigan fan

The sheer terror wrought by Spartan players at the potluck has earned them the respect of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:05 AM ^
as Michael Moore.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:00 PM ^
Simon Adebisi is a big fan of the fresh meat that Sparty sends into OZ every football season.

Mikey from Orange County Chopper. I've seen him in Michigan gear on the show. They even built a Michigan themed bike.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:32 AM ^
I think the auctioned it off for C.S. Mott's Children's Hospital. Pretty sweet bike:
February 8th, 2010 at 12:33 AM ^
But Jeffri Chadiha also went to Michigan, by way of Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard!
edit: ESPN and SI respectively
