Look at that turf/carpet! I’m glad Michigan picked an AD who understands things like branding and marketing. Don Canham did, but unfortunately those who followed him weren’t as adept. Who knows? Maybe we finally get a night game at Michigan. And while it’s nice that Michigan’s Olympic sports have done better, I believe Mr. Brandon knows (fair or not) that our athletic program lives and dies with football and basketball (and trampoline). Rich Rod: I’m rooting for you but I’d be a little nervous right now. I have a feeling there’s an exit strategy in place if next season is a disaster like 2009.
