Michigan Thursday: A Little Bit of Everything

Derrick Green has set 2 other official visits after his visit to Ann Arbor next week.  He will visit Auburn for Georgia game on 11/10 and to Oregon for the Stanford game on 11/17.    Let's hope he loves A2 and the coaches so much that he never makes those visits.  Nike town concerns me. 


Michigan Basketball had their media day yesterday, so I provide you links for a bunch of stories on the Freshman 5 and Burke/Hardaway:  ESPN 1, ESPN 2, ESPN 3, Mgoblog, and UMHoops.   Check out the highlighter yellow new shoes! 


  • Denard needs 576 yards to pass Pat White as #1 Running QB in the FBS.  He needs 1,136 yards to pass Mike Hart as Michigan's leading rusher. 

  • In a class move, Brady Hoke and staff will wear ChuckStrong shirts this weekend to support his friend Chuck Pagano (head coach of the Indianapolis Colts) who is fighting cancer.  Brady bought 40-50 shirts and will give them to his coaches to wear this weekend.   I believe the plan is to wear them before the game. 

  • Taylor Lewan made Phi Steele's 2012 All American Mid-Season Team.  Taylor is a NFL quality lineman but he hasn't had an All American type of first half.

  • Michigan Alum Brad Bates was named the AD at Boston College.

  • OSU and Texas signed a home and home contract for games in 2022 and 2013.  By that time we should have jet packs, right?

  • RIP former Michigan captain Tom Coyle from the 1972 team.  He was 62.
