In 16 Candles, Anthony Michael Hall summarizes his social status in the suburban high school as “King of the Dipshits”. Molly Ringwald politely suggests that carrying such a title is “kind of cool”. Just so we’re clear, it’s not cool, although the geek jumps up a notch at the end, thanks to Jake’s dad’s ride and Jake’s pickled girlfriend Carolyn: ESPN.com just rated the most underachieving teams in Men’s college basketball over the past decade and it was unanimous: the Wolverines came in number 1. It wasn’t even close. Four of the five experts picked as the distinguished top turd except for Dukie, Amaker-apologist Jay Bilas who didn’t even have the Blue on his list! Here’s the complete vote. Here’s the capsule on the undisputed Dipshits: Is this any surprise? Here’s more on the topic from Doug Gottlieb: Michigan, for example, has been seen as a dog of a program in terms of wins and NCAA tourney appearances recently. When you compare Michigan now to the Michigan with Bill Frieder and Steve Fisher at the helm, there is an obvious drop-off. Add into the mix the Wolverines’ relative lack of facilities and the scarcity of talent that is homegrown in Michigan, sprinkle in the fact that Michigan State has become a power just down the road, and UM has some…

We’re excited to take on a new sponsor this summer, Stucchi’s of Milford. The owners are opening a store right down on beautiful Main Street in Milford, right next to the famous Five Lakes Grill. Anyone who’s had Stucchi’s ice cream in Ann Arbor or at their other new locations knows how great this product is. The Milford store will also feature Chicago style “FatHeads” pizza, premium coffee, Stucchi’s yogurt, soups and more. Doors open in May 2007 so good luck guys and thanks for considering MVictors.com…(it is rumored they chose to advertise MVictors over a 30 second spot during the American Idol finals).

I’m sure everyone is sick of Mel Kiper & co. about now, but I just took a look at the 2008 draft projections on ESPN.com. [Speaking of Mel Kiper did you see his team-by-teams grades? No team got above a B+, no team got worse than a C. What a jerk.]. Despite Colin Cowherd’s proclamation that Lloyd Carr doesn’t develop players, Michigan football will figure very prominently in the draft next year. With a little luck, at least according to these projections, five (5) Wolverines could land in the first round next season. Here are a few highlights: Long and Henne figured in the Top 10 Overall. I was a little surprised to see Henne. Here’s what they said: 4. Jake Long, OT, Michigan Long could have been a top-10 pick in the 2007 draft but instead elected to return to Ann Arbor for his final season of eligibility. At 6-foot-7, 320 pounds with great experience and quick feet, there’s not many holes to pick in Long’s game. He missed nearly half of the 2005 season with an ankle injury but returned to form as a full-time starter last year. Another healthy and productive campaign in 2007 should land Long a top-10 spot in next year’s draft. 9. Chad Henne, QB, Michigan Henne is an experienced starter with good size…
