This morning on WTKA 1050AM Sam Webb mentioned the Demar Dorsey situation once again, basically reiterating he doesn’t expect the Florida 5-star recruit to be at U-M this fall despite the lack of official word on the matter.   But once again Sam hinted that something else might be in play: [display_podcast] – Notable quote (beyond the ‘What you talkin’ about Willis? line): “What will be interesting to see is where he ends up in the aftermath.    Because if he ends up at a JUCO then we know what the deals was–he wasn’t qualified.   If he winds up Florida State/Louisville/Cincinnati, then he was qualified, Michigan just didn’t take him and of course that brings up the question as to why.  We’ll have to wait and see on that.” So clearly Webb heard something, to the point where he’s comfortable talking about Dorsey not making the (U-M) grade.   But I think you can read from this that something else is going on – recruiting insight is Webb’s business and he doesn’t toss out these suggestions lightly.    Read into it what you will, but sounds like Dorsey “qualified” but didn’t make it through Michigan admissions. [Ed. Update June 7 – 9pm EDT]: Word is starting to come out claiming that, indeed, Dorsey passed the clearinghouse but is getting the stop sign…

A huge thanks to Ira and Sam down at WTKA 1050AM who invited me in studio to talk about the upcoming 2010 JDRF Golf Classic, to be held at Franklin Hills CC in Franklin.   The good news?  The event is sold out!   That said, I wanted to go on the air to spread awareness for juvenile diabetes and to let folks know how they can help out.  Beyond JDRF, we talked a little spring football, laughed over a recent tweet by Brandon Graham and much more.  Here’s the audio: [display_podcast] . More info: 2010 JDRF Golf Classic on Monday June 21, 2010 at the beautiful Franklin Hills Country Club.    The event is sold out but if you want more information about JDRF or to donate, contact JDRF Detroit!

I’ll be at the 2010 JDRF Golf Classic on Monday June 21, 2010 at the beautiful Franklin Hills Country Club.    The event is sold out (music to the ears of those organizing events such as this) but if you want more information about JDRF or to donate, contact JDRF Detroit!

I’m on the fence on whether MLB should change the result of the Galarraga perfect-no.  I’ve heard some compelling arguments to do this and I’d like to hear from some of the baseball media heavyweights.  I have this image of the giant heads of Bob Costas, George Will and Ken Burns hovering above Bud Selig (like that Krypton trial in Superman 2) rendering their judgment on the matter. There are countless plays/results Michigan fans would like to see reversed (White no fumble, Desmond/MSU maul, Spartan Bob, etc.) but that’ll never happen.   I believe these days official scorers tweak stats after games, particularly in football as fantasy football players can attest. The only “major” postgame alterations to the Michigan record books I can recall are related to scoring errors, notsomuch by the officials, but by the media and university.   The Bentley Library recently updated the score of the 1909 Syracuse game after being alerted by a meddling blogger: Similarly, thanks to the research of Natural Enemies author John Kryk, there’s been an asterisk applied to the 1903 Ferris State game result, when Yost and crew pitched a near perfect game themselves: Filed under FWIW, or, More proof you can tie anything back to Michigan football.

A classic Twitter moment last night as the sports world erupted in the moments following the Jim Joyce blunder on the Armando Galarraga perfecto last night.   As the outrage-laden tweets rolled by in the seconds after the bungled call, I got a huge laugh out of this note from @BGraham54 (Brandon Graham) who had other things going on:

Is there a Coldplay version of O Let Do It? This morning on WTKA 1050AM first someone shot Sam Webb’s dog, then he gave an update on the status of Michigan commits Antonio Kinard and Demar Dorsey.   Sam doesn’t give his patented “gut feelings” on things such as this, but if you take away anything other than these guys aren’t going to be wearing the winged helmet next season, let me know: [display_podcast] No, not a shock but I was hopeful especially on Dorsey.  Webb hints at a possibility there could be something else in play beyond grades, but we’ll see. <piano> O Let Do… –> Follow MVictors on Twitter
