Humility is Golden

We certainly do NOT know this from our own experience (HLS is the greatest blog of all TIME!!!!  All the rest of you suckahs can just quit now, we are the ALL TIME GREATEEEEEEST!!!!!), but man, Bryant Young exhibits all the things you want in an alum/new coach/person as he takes on his new role [...]

I love this site.

WalmartWolverines.com

A Walmart Wolverine is a self-proclaimed “huge” University of Michigan fan that never attended the University.

Excellent. (And yes. This is mean. I’m mean. I deal with it. So should you.)

Note that the site specifies those who “never attended” UM(s!). Because 80% of the state of Michigan “attended” UM(s!) at one point [...]

Vegas Likes the Irish

Well, okay, not really.  It’s not really Vegas anymore, it’s more “Internet Gamblers”, but whatever.
I’m sure this will change as the Spring sessions end and summer/pre-season roll around, injuries occur, etc.  But right now at least, the big board gives ND a 40-1 shot at the MNC.  Seems like a long shot, but when you consider [...]

Friday Roundup: The “Lionel Richie Wasn’t A Commodore” Edition

I know I’m old because recently it dawned on me that I’ll freely walk around Target whistling songs that would have embarrassed me just a few years ago. Come to think of it, walking around Target probably indicates age as well, considering I think of that as, “my usual Saturday morning.” And come [...]

Attending the ND Coaches Clinic?

Unfortunately, none of our paid staff will be able to make the ND Coaches Clinic this weekend, but we bet that a few of the 8 or 9 of you out there who read our little site probably will attend since you’re [ahem]coaches[cough] and have perfectly reasonable [cough], professional [hack!] reasons to attend a coaching [...]
