Bringing Back Maize
This is not a "maize out":
We'll get to why the phrase "maize out" irks me to no end in a minute. But for now, realize that what your seeing in this picture is about 3000 college kids wearing yellow t-shirts. This is a "yellow out".
Yellow is not maize.
At a certain point, it all becomes semantics – and we may already be at that point...

Brady Hoke on Paterno's Passing
Via UM media relations:University of Michigan head football coach Brady Hoke on the passing of Joe Paterno:
"I am certainly saddened by the news today of Coach Paterno's passing. College football has lost one of its greatest, a coaching icon. Even though I was just an assistant when our teams faced one another, I feel honored to have shared the field with Joe. His players' love...

Joe Paterno Dead at 85
Joe Paterno, 1926-2012
At a time of unprecedented scandal at Penn State University, Joe Paterno died this morning, of complications due to lung cancer. Joe was not at the center of the scandal, but was certainly well within it's reach. I hope that in time, Joe's legacy will not just reflect the latest events in State College, PA.
RIP Joe. You will be missed.

Doing My Small Part to Fight SOPA & PIPA
This is a protest.
Please join us, along with fellow Michigan blog The MZone, and thousands of websites around the country, in our modest protest of the proposed legislation that would drastically change how each and every one of us uses the internet. Being an internet maker, as well as a consumer, I feel compelled to act.
I don't claim to know exactly how it all works...

My Favorite Photos of 2011
While we're all looking ahead to 2012, but I thought it would be nice to take a quick look back at some of the moments I was able to capture with my camera in 2011.
Having a media pass, I wanted to take as full advantage of it as I could, so I was snapping photos of everything. Once in a while I'd get lucky and a photo would turn out pretty good. I'm not a professional photog...

Sugar Bowl Thoughts
Dave Martin, AP
We made a ton of mistakes in this game. We played very undisciplined on both sides of the ball, but mainly on offense. We looked hesitant at times, graceful at times, downright terrible at times. But when the clock read all zeros, Michigan stormed the field like 3rd graders on the last day of school.
And it was sweet.
Why so sweet? Because bowl games...

Official Statement on B1G/Pac-12 Collaboration
Because we play so well on the left coast.
Excuse the press-release copy/paste, but this just came down the pipe. Just as an aside, since the 1998 Rose Bowl win over Washington State, we're 1-6 against the PAC-12 (the lone win was Washington in 2002). But also, for a graphic representation of the most recent year/how many times each B1G and Pac-12 team have played each other...
