Wolverine Wednesday: More Notes Then News


  • JJ McCarthy is preforming well at the Elite 11 competition this week.   He is currently ranked #7 by 24/7 after Day 1, #9 after Day 2.   Seems the evaluators love his arm talent but is a bit thin and not a running threat. 

  • I know Fred Wilpon is a Michigan man and made billions of dollars but his Bobby Bonilla deal where he wanted to save almost $6M to invest with Madoff has to be one of the worst contracts in all of sports.  If you don't know the story, the Mets didn't want to pay out Bobby's contract in 2000 (because they wanted to break the bank with Madoff ) so they signed a long term payout deal with Bobby and his agent with interest that started in 2011 and last 25 years.  Bobby is 57 and will be one of the highest paid players in this shorten season.  His take is 1.2M a year until 2035.  Today is Bobby Bonilla payout day and I'm sure he is smiling somewhere.  Even Charlie Weis thinks this is a good deal.    

  • High School Football in the Spring is currently under consideration in Michigan. 

  • How in the world is Michigan Football going to travel to Washington in 2 months?  When are we going to hear that game has been cancelled or re-scheduled?

  • Former Michigan Football player Russ Furrha is opening a coffee shop across from the Big House and Pioneer.  Russ played for Rich Rod. 

  • A man who threated Ohio State players and a shooting on campus during the Michigan-OSU in Columbus in 2018 is expected to plead guilty today.
