My late father loved April Fools Day. When we were young kids on Spring Break, he said the hotel was offering free elephant rides today. All I had to do was call the front desk and reserve a spot. Then when I was an adult working in A2 at Bell + Howell/UMS he sent me a Hedgehog for some type of charity event. Miss you Dad.
This weekend Sherrone completed his on-field coaching staff again after Greg Scruggs flamed out quickly. He hired current Co-DC/DL Coach from Memphis Lou Esposito. Lou had only been with the Tigers since January after being the DC at Western Michigan for 6 years. Even though Lou played at Memphis, he knows Michigan. 2010-12 he was the DL coach at Western for the first time, 2013 he was the DC at Ferris State, 2014-16 he coached at Davenport and then 2017 back to Kalamazoo.
To sum up my text's when the news broke on Friday, I got this question a few times: Is this a good hire?
My response: I don't know but his name sounds right! After some research, it seems Lou is a hard worker, can develop DLineman, good recruiter, has an eye for talent, has the respect of Michigan HS coaches, and a great hire for the Wolverines. If FSU DT Braden Fiske name sounds familiar, he was recruited and developed by Lou before he transferred to Florida State and became a 3rd team All-American last season.
Welcome Sweet Lou and enjoy some of the best talent on the defensive line in the country.
- Congratulations to Michigan Hockey for beating MSU and earning a Frozen 4 Berth! Michigan scored 2 goals in 12 seconds to secure the win in the 3rd!
- Is tonight the biggest night for NCAA Women's Basketball ever?
- Christian Anderson Jr. decommits from Michigan Basketball on Friday as well. My response, Ok. Let's let Dusty cook and bring in his own players.

Congrats to the hockey team 👍 sweet Lou he knows defensive line too
Goal #4 yesterday was one of the best passes I've ever seen.
No clue about the Lou hire, so I'm just hoping it's a good one.
I agree with Bob. Lets let Dusty bring in his type of players. Juwan's didn't exactly work out. I think we have one recruit still committed for next season and he's a good one, Durrell Brooks. He's Michigan's Mr. Basketball and shot 48% from three. That's impressive.
If I were Dusty, I'd give that kid Jack Goilke from Oakland U. a call. Can never have enough good shooters. And he's got tourny experience! Sounds like Townsend is turning pro.
Coaching the D line isn't rocket science. Know your assignments, explode off the ball, contain, and keep driving till you hear the whistle. Now its a little interesting when you get into techniques (ask Hutchinson). It's almost like a wrestling match.
I like the M hockey uniforms. Just Maize and Blue, no white on the numbers. Looked a little like the football jerseys. Maybe the basketball team should try something like that?
