Believe it or not, but he's actually a great guy in real life. He might be a little sensitive when it comes to sports, but who isn't? I agree he might want to chill on the twitter action, but after all I wouldn't want people judging me solely based on what I say on the internet, even if my handle wasn't anonymous.

I saw Dakich on ESPN recently and he was praising Beilein and the assistant coaches' work with Burke and THJ.  He seemed like a pretty decent guy who is not coy about showing where his loyalties lie.  I'm happy that he's on Michigan's good side now.

Having someone as emotionally unstable as Dan Dakich on our side isn't necessarily a bad thing, but ... is it a good thing? People like Dakich transition effortlessly from being on your "good side" to your "bad side." He will watch his son matriculate and as a parent, he will always want what is best for his child. He won't shy from being a jerk, if that's how he protects his ego. Why can't he just be as polished and classy as Bob Griese? Now there's a father-son combo that just works.

someone smarter than me has come up with this moniker for him but everytime I see his name it makes me think "Dick Itch".

Seems appropos.

This may be the dumbest "feud" I've seen on Twitter in some time, and I've followed Justin Bieber in the past.

Dakich is a douche, but he's a douche with an eye on controversy and marketting his brand.  Whole lot of nothing except a weak attempt at drumming up some ratings.

This feels like a te'o hoax. At the end the kid was then invited to co-host after it seemed like they were in high school with all of that drama and couldn't stand each other.
