So Serious

Smile Like You Mean It

So... the Threet transfer. I know I'm really late on this, but whatevs. It's all good. Blah, blah, blah it's not good. Freshmen blah blah blah. I don't really care about all that shit. Yes, this is bad for Michigan going forward. But, in the end, whatever happens is going to happen.

This post is a salute to Steven Threet. A hometown kid, lifelong fan, Academic All-American and someone who lived out everyone's childhood dream. He did the absolute best anyone could have done with what he had to work with. He left it all on the field for 8 games as a starter for a coach who probably didn't want him (and who he probably didn't want) in a system he was amazingly ill equipped for.

People throw this "Michigan Man" thing around a lot and people (myself included) wince. But it's not a complete myth. Steven Threet is a Michigan Man. He sacrificed for this team and this school. In my mind he earned his place in the pantheon of Michigan football, and he doesn't need a million touchdown passes or a win over Ohio State to prove it. He has the scars, the bruises, the permanent pain to prove how much he cared. And for that, I'll be forever thankfull.

Train In Vain

There's an over-saturation of Michigan sports blogs. If you want technical analysis there's Thee and Out. If you want funny there's the WLA. If you want news and information there's Varsity Blue. There are insanely good resources for basketball, hockey, photoshops, and coachBT. On top of all that there's MGoBlog... which, like, good luck sharing that market. Add to that about 20 other blogs and you get the picture. There is absolutely no good reason for anyone to start a Michigan focused blog. Period.

That said, welcome to my e-blog! I have no inside information, no technical knowledge of anything, really, and nothing to offer besides my thoughts and opinions. Why am I doing this? Because I like to write, I like Michigan football... and there's really no other good reason. If you dig it, awesome. If you don't, that's cool too. We're all just along for the ride.
