Jon Tenuta a Wolverine?

Don't you just love when journalists make mistakes. Last week, a WVU newspaper said that RR had messed up the #1 jersey tradition at Michigan which dates back to Chris Carter (Anthony Carter!) wearing it for the Maize and Blue.

The No. 1 uniform meant a lot to Edwards. It has belonged exclusively to a wide receiver since 1979, dating back to Chris Carter.


Now The Bleacher Report says that Jon Tenuta left GT for the same position at U of M in their GT preview.
Blitzing guru Jon Tenuta, widely regarded as one of the top defensive minds in college football, left his defensive coordinator post to take the same position at Michigan.


  • The Big Ten is considering a two week "summer" dead period for recruiting. (in a related story - the Big Ten Network continues it's dead period in most "cable" homes in Michigan and Ohio.) Michigan Man Joe Tiller chimes in:

"We've gone to a policy where three coaches have to be in the office at all times," Purdue coach Joe Tiller said Wednesday. "God forbid you're not there when you've got a pretty good prospect and his parents standing outside the door. A dead period means no body's going to drift into your office.


"We always talk about quality of life and assistant coaches and the ability for them and for us to get away and recharge our batteries, totally get away from the sport, but we can never get away from the sport because of year-round recruiting. [The proposal] would make a difference." I would also like to add that Michigan is evil and their dead period should last at least 6 weeks. (ok, I added that last part).

  • Remember Chris Perry? His NFL career has read more like a medical chart then a trading card. He is now back in Bengals camp and looking good so far. Let's keep our fingers crossed that he will be healthy this year and play well.
  • IU signs a new deal with Adidas for 8 years $21 Million.
  • Minnesota WR is one of over 25 high school juniors that will visit Ann Arbor this weekend for the "Barbecue at the Big House". This is Michigan's version of Junior Day where a bunch of top recruits for the class of 2009 will visit U of M this weekend.
