I still think a "flag" should be thrown on NBC and ESPN/ABC for having 3 really good games on at 3:30 EST on Saturday. That is terrible planning. I know Nascar is very popular but put it on ESPN2 and make the Ohio State - Miami game an 8:00 start. It would be much easier if I just ran things.
Today was a real bad day for former Michigan athletes. Tom Brady got into a car accident this morning in Boston. He wasn't injured. Rumeal Robinson was convicted (freep link) in federal court today of borrowing more than $700,000 for a sham business deal and then spending the money on a condominium, expensive furniture and cars. In a very low class move by Ann Arbor.com they publish the reason why Jamie Morris was let go from Michigan's athletic department. (I won't link to it, since it should be a private matter between Jamie and the athletic department)
Recent transfer Vlad Emilien told Angelique today: "I love coach Rod as a head coach and a person, too. I hope it goes well for him, and I hope we win on Saturday." It's a strange week for the #5 on the team. Tate was talking transfer after Saturday's game but didn't (#5 on offense), then Vlad ends up leaving mid week (#5 on defense).
Injury Update: Fitz is getting better but still is out against ND on Saturday. Roy Rountree is also feeling better but wouldn't know about his status for Saturday until he meets with the doctors today. Carvin Johnson is out for sure.
Lots of good football on tonight: The kickoff of the NFL season with the Super Bowl Champs hosting Brett Farve and the Minnesota Vikings (NBC). A big MAC battle between Central Michigan and Temple both expected to compete for their divisional championship (ESPN U). Auburn vs Mississippi State (ESPN)
Charles Woodson gets a two year extension.
Antonio Kinard who signed with Michigan but headed to prep school to get his grades up. Is ranked #34 by Rivals top 50 Prep School prospects for 2011. We expect Antonio to join the Wolverines in January or next summer.
