Salt Lake City Sights & Sounds (Utah 24, Michigan 17) – Jim Harbaugh’s first game
Darn. It turns out there is no magical khaki lint for #4 to sprinkle around the locker room but you, the most rational and reasonable Michigan fan, was still hoping there was. Guilty as well. Sights and sounds from Harbaugh's debut:

My adidas
I wore these little beauties this weekend: A few folks asked what the story is on these – it’s just pretty cool service available from adidas. Basically you can take many of the shoes/cleats/whatever from their catalog and trick them out your cotton-pickin’ maize and blue hearts content. Go to adidas.com and click on customize. Once you pick a style (menu of styles on the left toolbar) you want to start with you’ll be sent into a widget where you trick out the shoes – piece by piece, element by element, soles to lace eyelets . Here’s a screen shot of the widget doing its thing: Tips and FYIs: If you want the older school maize, go with the ‘gold’ color if it is available on your shoe. The yellow is more like the high maize you see on the unis today. The uniform blue is a richer (more navy-like) blue, the bluebird blue is UCLA-ish.

Denard’s Golden Pants
A pretty good shot of the game-winning touchdown Saturday from mgoblue.com.

But there will be a Michigan Man on the cover.
