Let's talk beer.
Michigan. Eastern. One's a school, the other is a directional prefix.
The Irish come to town for a night game. Let 'em.
Michigan opens their season against Western. The preview is here.
Via the AP, it seems that Michigan WR Darryl Stonum has received two years of probation stemming from an arrest for driving while impaired. Hopefully Darryl can put this behind him and move on with his life as he works toward a degree from the University of Michigan. Sadly, he's had probation issues in the past - but we're all rooting for him to take the necessary steps to continue toward a bright future.
Sorry to cut Dave short, but the new Sports Illustrated piece on the OSU scandals by Pulitzer winner George Dohrmann just broke. Check it out immediately. Dohrmann has a long and impressive track record, and his piece is incredible.
Process? Or Blame game?
This one shouldn't surprise anyone, but Terry Richardson, a four-star CB prospect out of Cass Tech, has announced his intentions to play for the Maize and Blue. Michigan needed a solid corner in this class, and they got one - Richardson's offer sheet is impressive. I'm not going to beat a dead horse about size, but he is fairly smallish - Cass Tech seems to pump out kids like this though, and the kid's got game. Don't take my word for it, check out Magnus's take over at Touch The Banner. Welcome to the Michigan Family, Terry. All the best.
Not to preempt Magnus's excellent post about recruiting (read it below) but it's Friday, and you all know what that means: a semi-occasional instruction from the site about what to drink....
Clearly, rivals has decided to give Michigan their due for having the best helmets on the face of the planet. If you haven't done so, check out The Helmet Project at http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/ It's a pretty cool project, done thanks to some exhaustive research. I will no longer listen to Dienhart or Hueguenin, because let's face it, they don't know overwhelming greatness when they see it.
Yes, I know it's been a while. The work week is just about done, the season is now over for Michigan's last revenue sport, MnB updating has been regrettably light, and you've probably earned a...
He won't go to the NBA, right? Right?
Good Yahoo! recap on the action that was Saturday. WOOOOOOOOOOO! Yale lost in a stunning upset as well, so Michigan just needs to string together two more games. Go blue!

Michigan's an 8th seed, playing Tennessee in the first round in the West region. A matchup with Duke looms in the second round if they make it through.
Recap: MICHIGAN BEATS ILLINOIS! 7:38 left, Michigan down a lot. Go to pub. Refresh GameCast 25 minutes later, dejectedly, and then see Michigan up 59-55. Rejoice. Text Dave. Response: "Illinois went ice cold and starts getting into the paint. Smotrycz nailed a critical three. Some buckets were made in transition and Morris kinda took over. Then michigan got the lead with 1 left when Hardaway took a "NOOOOOYES!" Three that found nothing but net.
Dave.(ed note: Kyle has gone into hibernation for a bit, but YFD lives on!) We open our tale this sunny Friday with a story of Michigan basketball. At 2:25 today, they'll face off against the Fighting...
Let's talk about why everyone's so mad about everything.
According to this report, Jim Tressel knew about the Buckeye Five's memorabilia "problem" before the start of last season. Talk about an "atmosphere of noncompliance," eh? More on this story and on Michigan's bubble hopes later today, but in short, this is big. If the powers that be decide to come down hard (which they won't) this could mean some vacated games...
Of Course, Rick Pitino likes 'em female. and 40. And in restaurants, not at games.

Michigan wins a crucial revenge match against Northwestern 75-66, and looks darn good doing so. Jordan Morgan had a monster game. Brewskis to follow tomorrow. Enjoy your night, Michigan Faithful, and ignore the fact that Tate's going to Miami. Yes, that Miami.
Hey Sparty - just posted this over at MnB, and it's not a UM-centric piece, so I thought I'd share it over here. Cheers, guys. -RB (edit: added Freep section) Most of you either watched the Super...
