I don’t have to explain how I feel about the history of this rivalry and also needless to say, it is very rough for me to watch that jug head out of town.

I don’t know if there’s anything on there we don’t want the opponents to see but you can do a lot in HD these days: Mood Update: The Mood Index. Break-in reported at Ann Arbor Torch & Pitchfork around 2am EDT Sunday morning. Investigation pending. Uniform Update: White socks – the best thing out there Saturday?
