8 weeks 6 days ago	Consistency	General question: If Mullen's actions disqualify him for consideration as a Michigan coach, does that also eliminate Miles - or most of the other SEC coaches?

1 year 14 weeks ago	Re: Point 1	I would add that nobody knows what Dave Brandon has said to Coach Hoke - and vice versa. Regardless of one's opinions of Brandon's executive style, he's not a laissez-faire AD. When he sees what he perceives is even a small problem, he doesn't just accept the first pat (or public) explanation from his coaches and then sing the Fight Song until everyone feels better. He's incredibly engaged - especially in the football program (was on the sideline of this game) and is hyper brand-conscious. If he thinks the course of action by this staff is not the best plan given all the data, I have a hard time imagining he'll be silent very long about it. At least behind closed doors.
1 year 19 weeks ago	I like this game...	A fool and his money ... could probably start at quarterback at Michigan State. To err is ... to start at quarterback at Michigan State. If you can't stand the heat ... you probably start at quarterback at Michigan State. Finders keepers, losers ... probably start at quarterback at Michigan State. But even this game has its limitations, to wit: Great minds ... start at quarterback at Michigan State. Cheaters never ... start at quarterback at Michigan State. Etc.

3 years 32 weeks ago	"Jack Nicklaus" vs. "Arnold Palmer"	Our family was celebrating my wife's birthday at a particular dining establishment in West Palm Beach. I'm not much of a drinker but do have one indulgence: an "Arnold Palmer" - half iced tea, half lemonade. The young lady waiting on our table told us that Jack Nicklaus Jr. was seated at the table next to us and had just ordered a "Jack Nicklaus." She said it's half iced tea and half cranberry juice, apparently Jack II is on a crusade to make it as popular as the "Arnold Palmer," and would I be interested? I passed.
3 years 35 weeks ago	When Pots Investigate Kettles	Interesting, considering the Columbus Dispatch just this week was accused of cheating (e.g. plagiarism by their editorial cartoonist). The paper did their own "investigation" and found the whole thing "appears to be [only] a coincidence."
3 years 36 weeks ago	Tasty!	Love their applesauce... original and cinnamon!
3 years 37 weeks ago	If Michigan Players Were Redrafted	Rankings in 2007: #9 Lamarr Woodley (drafted #46) #10 David Harris (drafted #47) #13 Leon Hall (drafted #18) #28 Steve Breaston (drafter #142) Rankings in 2008 #10 Jake Long (drafted #1) With the exception of Jake, the other Michigan players mentioned exceeded expectations - none more than Steve Breaston.
3 years 37 weeks ago	And its lazy cousin...	"Dirk, your team just swept the Lakers from the playoffs. How do you feel about that?"
3 years 38 weeks ago	NFL Potential	I got a chuckle out of this line from the NFL.com analysis of Justin Boren: "Plays angry on the field but his mental makeup is in question after a transfer from Michigan."
3 years 38 weeks ago	Snubbery vs. Snobbery	Has Hoke made any kind of statement as to why he deliberately abbreviates the expansive "The Ohio State University" to "Ohio"? First time I heard it I laughed out loud - just thought it was like the guy who likes to introduce himself as Beauregard Crandall Thurston Jermajesty IV and everybody just calls him Bob.
3 years 39 weeks ago	That attitude...	...of regarding M as being such a unique and special place spills over in several tangible ways. Since Hoke believes the "leaders and best" thing is not just a line in a song: We're going to recruit the leaders and best and not settle for anything less - because we shouldn't have to, and Those affiliated with M are going to become the leaders and best - because every stakeholder in the M tradition expects nothing less. People learn best in two ways: having something (a) clearly taught and (b) consistently modeled. Thus far Hoke is saying AND doing the things that reflect his fundamental belief: Michigan is the singular institution that anyone who has the opportunity should be willing to crawl across broken glass to be a part of. That attitude, sincerely stated and lived out, is contagious.
3 years 40 weeks ago	Bree...	...just put the hurt on PSU. Clutch 0-2, 2-out RBI single to tie the game in the 6th.
