| 21 hours 35 min ago | Yes. This. |
Here's the thing. Matheny is in his first year in MLB, in an excellent position. He loves U of M, and I imagine if La Russa were still managing in St. Louis, he would take the Michigan job. However, he is actually well-respected in the dugout in St. Louis. I am a Cardinals fan (lifelong), and he's a guy that everyone respects. He's in the ultimate position to put in a 15 year stint (in his mind) in St. Louis and win a couple rings. Maybe Michigan after, but doubtful if his career goes the way he'd prefer and Michigan succeeds the way we all know it will. Or he flames out, and he coaches U of M in 3 years. |

Are we only allowed to vote for one? How strict should we be? If we can vote for as many as we like, I go with Horton, Novak, and Morris. |

Yes, I see the difference. I just prefer that it be structured differently, as this blog is the top source for U of M sports news, commentary, and analysis that's in existence or ever has existed (IMO), it should be more broad and nod to tradition and all that. Just preference, I suppose. |

To me, any MGoHOF that doesn't start out by somehow acknowledging with enshrinement the past heisman winners, the big three of coaching (Yost, Crisler, Bo), and those with retired jerseys is. . . dirty. I think the MGoHOF needs to start out with an inaugural class (those old timers above; can't be a currently active coach or Red would be included), plus, say 3 guys from the blog era, and then will admit up to 3 pre-blog players (or 2) per year going forward, and up to 5 blog-era players per year. |

Epic. Triple. Post. First ever. |
| 3 weeks 5 days ago | Frontline |
I've watched, I believe, every Frontline episode since 2003. In my opinion, it is the best television journalism in existence in the U.S. And, subjectively, I think it's the best show on TV of the last 10 years, along with The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and Lost. I love Frontline. I even thought really hard about donating once. |

I'll steer clear of politics, and add only this: If you want a more in-depth look at the same subject matter, read "Confidence Men," by WSJ reporter Ron Suskind. I just finished it. Without giving away my political leanings, I will say this: it skewers everyone. And the fundamental problems (Glass-Steagal's repeal, for example, is still in place; it was repealed in '99 and knocked down the walls between investment banks and commercial banks) are still largely there, despite the disaster of 2008. But yeah, I don't know how we can have this discussion without a lot of uneducated conjecture and, well, I fear that it will get political. . . |

We grade on a curve around here. He's an Alabama fan, after all. |

yes, this. Also, I read the follow up the OP is referring to; it's $2.99, but can be read in one sitting (give yourself an hour or so). It was a good follow up on what the book did to the lives of Boobie Miles and Buzz Bissinger. And the TV show was one of the 5 best dramas of the last 10 years in my opinion; I put it in a group that includes The Wire, Breaking Bad, Lost, and Sopranos. Actually, I like FNL better than any show I've ever seen, except The Wire. |
