This post reminds me of that App. State game in 2014 which still bugs me.  I don't like it and think it's a no win situation for the Wolverines.  I can't wait to see those non-stop disaster highlights starting in August 2014.

2015 is full of West Coast time zone teams but most are coming to Ann Arbor.  It seems the trip to Utah might be the first football game in the country that year and played on a Thursday night.  Let's hope the Wolverines get out there a few days early, so they can get used to the time change.


  • Michigan hired Maryland's Baseball head coach Erik Bakich.  Chris Sabo not having any coaching experience I believe hurt his chances.

  • Surprise Drake Harris committed to MSU.

  • Jack Miller's brother Matt committed to Wisconsin.  There was some interest from Michigan but they never offered Matt.

  • It seems Alvin Bailey enjoyed his visit to Ann Arbor and he and his friend/teammate Leon McQuay have been talking about Michigan.   I don't expect either recruitment to end any time soon.  Alvin is planning a bunch of visits to SEC schools.  I'm not holding my breath on either visitor this week in Bailey or Wilkins.
