You know, it is pretty cool that Brandon was one of two ADs on BTN

Seriously, I think we take for granted the cache that UM has. We didn't see a forum of ADs, I have no idea what the AD of Purdue has to say (nor do I care). It was really a pander to UM/OSU during the segment. Not everyone gets that respect.

We're kind of a big deal. People know us.

We're very important. We have many leather-bound books and our [classrooms] smell of rich mahogany.

After the division announcement, the first thing they talked about is the Mich-OSU date. We still are the Big 2.

Yea and Tom Osbourne was on too but none of the ADs sounded too enthusiastic. Im guessing they were just exhausted.

It's probably leftover irritation at the compromises people were forced to make. Add that to the Big 10 pandering to Michigan/OSU and there's no reason anyone was going to be that happy.

Thought it was funny that TO commented that he was glad they preserved The Game as he had already gotten hate mail from both fan bases blaming him for the demise had it occurred.

Hollis looked like he just ate a big old bowl of poo, and was trying to put on a smile and tell everybody how great it tasted. You know he's bitter about the Indiana thing, and how brutal their 2011 and 2012 schedules are. Guess they better win big this year while their schedule is easy.

Order has been slightly restored to the galaxy. I can live with this compromise for now. I'd like to see us put back together if/when we go to 14 or 16 teams.

Maybe he just smelled whatever it is that Dantonio looks like he's always smelling.

I think Dantonio is just always constipated.

I certainly dig the fact that Brandon is all in when it comes to all things Michigan. He appears to be a very pro-active AD

Speaking of which, Barry Alvarez ends up with egg on his face. A couple weeks ago he was talking about having an end-of-the-year rivalry with Nebraska. Now UW finds itself separated from not only Nebraska but also Minnesota and Iowa. Their cross-divisional game goes with Minnesota, which might be the most traditional of the three but has the least cachet. And it's a floating game - UW doesn't even get an annual last-week opponent. Not a good outcome for them.

I posted a few days ago that it looked like Alvarez was working the system a lot better than Brandon. I'm very happy to be wrong about that one.
