... and taking the Band by

... and taking the Band by air into University Park Airport is a non-starter ... short main runway would probably require two aircraft ... plus still moving equipment by tractor trailer.

Earlier in the day Webb said

Earlier in the day Webb said that he was "confident" ... he doesn't use a word like that on his own. Both Bacon and Webb show great respect for their sources. We're lucky to have them both in town.

So is this "the flight?"

Just wondering ... it wouldn't be a Michigan coaching hire without Flightaware ...

Is this part of a plan for "for cause" termination?

I can't imagine that Brady Hoke would have knowledge of the Sunday examination results and then deny that he knew about it. It seems more likely that he was not kept in the loop aft the game, which is consistent with Brady saying that he and Brandon did not talk.

Regardless, Brandon's early morning e-mail seems to be part of a move to fire Brady "for cause" in order to release the University from paying out his contract. I am not an attorney (nor do I stay at Holiday Inn Express), but now that Brandon has made a case for "for cause" it seems to me that he would have to terminate the contract soon. If he waits until the end of the season and then tries to argue "for cause," any good labor attorney will ask why the situation wasn't egregious enough to terminate the contract in September when the action occurred and blame was placed.

We will see what happens, but past history suggests that there will be much more "miscommunication" and backtracking to come.

Was Brandon on the sidelines last weekend?

I didn't see him and he is usually visibly present. If he wasn't there, perhaps it was due to the possible "reception" that the crowd would have given him.

And did anyone else notice ...

... that there did not seem to be much reaction on the part of Morris' teammates after the hit? Cole simply walked away. Nobody confronted the Minnesota player.

The replay film shows Khalid Hill pointing to the ground, maybe to encourage Morris to sit for trainer attention. Aren't players able to call to the sidelines to request medical attention for a teammate that they feel is injured? I'm wondering why there seemed to be no anger on the part of the team about what happened, or no urgency to get attention for Morris.
