You know what will help Michigan football recruit even better than it already does? More Rich Rodriguez spread-offense disciples showing out nicely for NFL scouts. And, of course, getting drafted in according fashion. Says SI.com of Rich Rodriguez's most prominent creation, Pat White: Score one for ...

Walkons? Walkons.The always-awesome Jim Stefani has sleuthed out a number of preferred walkons for Michigan's class of 2009, and he has anointed New York Offensive lineman Tom Lindley the catch of the bunch. Lindley may have been deserving of a full ride elsewhere: “Though he would have merited a ...

My nephew, Caleb Lavey, is getting lots of attention in his junior year from Division 1 Schools.  Just yesterday, he spent time on the phone with Charlie Weis of Notre Dame and got a full ride scholarship offer, and the Notre Dame folks put out this story on scout.com ————&#...

(If you're a Michigan State or Ohio State fan, however, you're probably thinking that it could not have been planned better.) The Wolverines are in the midst of a historically awful season that has fans and alumni noti...

Dude, seriously: what's wrong with Michael Rosenberg? Over the past few years he's been one of the few Detroit sports columnists worth reading, but he's rapidly descending into Sharp territory. His column on the Big Ten Network's Comcast deal was stupid, ill-researched junk concluding with this Plas...
