Will Wolverines Settle for Les?

ESPN is reporting that Michigan has received permission to speak with Les Miles about their head coaching vacancy. On the one hand this should be expected as he’s been presumed to be the front runner for quite a while. Bill Martin has said he has a list of about 20 candidates and Miles […]

Random Speculation on Michigan’s next coach

Michael Rosenberg jumps into the fray this morning by raising some questions about Les Miles. Brian at MGoBlog brought these concerns up this summer. Here are some pertinent comments from Rosenberg.

…it’s nice that [Miles] speaks glowingly about Bo Schembechler, but at the end of the day, so what? I know a hundred guys […]

Thoughts on U of M Hockey

I went to both games over the weekend and the Wolverines pulled out the sweep. I thought they looked more dominant against Wisconsin than they did against Minnesota, although the huge amount of specialty teams play due to a plethora of slashing penalties might have been the reason why the score was closer.
Michigan was […]

Still Standing by Kelly

MGoBlog suggests current Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz has been offered the Michigan head coaching position. This might make sense if we were further along in the process. The timing of this rumor suggests he is the #1 candidate. This is hard for me to believe, and I’m a Kirk Ferentz fan. […]

Happy Thanksgiving

I’m headed out of town to spend the holiday with family. I’ll be taking in the Lions-Packers game as well as two Michigan hockey games, so there should be plenty to write about when I return. I expect to start posting again on Monday.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great Thanksgiving holiday.

A Fond Farewell

When it comes to sports we definitely have a “what have you done for me lately” mentality, but even after a very disappointing season for the Univesity of Michigan football team I am still a big Lloyd Carr fan. The core of Carr’s best years as the head coach at the University of Michigan […]

Wings overcome Blue Jackets, snap 3-game skid

I wasn’t able to catch much of the game yesterday but I was finally able to pick up NHL TV so I’ll be interested in checking the channel out. I’ve heard the channel will also broadcast AHL games which will be pretty cool. Detroit beat Columbus 5-4 to gain the shootout win and […]

Carr era likely over

When Lloyd Carr changed the terms of his contract last December it was widely acknowledged this would be his final season coaching the University of Michigan football team. Brian over at MGoBlog wrote last week that an announcement is expected to be made sometime this week.
With the flood of commentary on Carr’s retirement and […]

Kid line a glimpse at future?

Early in the St. Louis game the second line was comprised of Johan Franzen - Valtteri Filppula - Jiri Hudler. They performed well and this could very well be a good lineup for Mike Babcock to use in the future. Mikael Samuelsson has produced points and has good size so he’s been a […]

Wings start new streak

The big takeaway after dropping back-to-back games against Central Division foes is that Chris Osgood looks like the better goaltender right now. He was possibly Detroit’s best player in the loss to Chicago. Dom Hasek had a very rough second period last night as he allowed 4 goals on 5 shots. One […]
