  • Congratulations to Eastern Michigan from on 1 win last season to the Bahamas for a Bowl Game.   There was talk about shutting that program down and now they are headed to Atlantis!  Congratulations!

  • I really don't want to talk about the playoffs for the Wolverines.  I think it's strange that Michigan has beaten both teams in the Big Ten Championship game and 1 team in the PAC 12 championship game.   If you want suspense, you better hope for Colorado to beat Washington on Friday night.   Most believe the Wolverines are headed to the Orange Bowl in South Florida.

  • Oregon fired Mark Helfrich last night, which probably means that Brady Hoke is out of a job.

  • FL OG TJ Slaton says he had to cancel his Michigan official due to his SAT score.

  • Michigan Safety commit J'Marick Woods will announce his final decision between Michigan, Arkansas, and Mississippi State on Friday morning.   Discuss among yourself why a commit needs to announce his final decision if he is already committed?

  • Since we haven't had any walk-on news lately, here is a gem for you.  Jess Speight, a 6'4", 280-pound OG will walk-on to Michigan next year.   If his last name is familiar, you are correct, he is Wilton's brother.   I wasn't aware the Speight family has a legacy connection to NC State.  Bobby Speight the boys grandfather was an All American basketball player for the Wolfpack.

  • Michigan Basketball plays VT tonight at 7:00 in the BIG 10/ACC Challenge at Crisler ESPN 2
