Anyone who knows me personally, knows that sports--particularly those of the University of Michigan--is a very big part my life.
But while I may talk about UM and other sports (I'm looking forward to talking hurling, rugby, and may even dabble in Gaelic rules and/or that *other* football) occasionally, it would be completely pointless to make it a major emphasis, as there is absolutely nothing I could add on top of the fine work of Brian Cook at MGoBlog. If you're interested in reading a blog about Michigan (and occasionally other Detroit area) sports--and one that's far more entertaining than this one to boot, that's your one stop shop. (I should mention that Brian's also been yet another helpful resource in my planning for my time in Ireland, as he spent 4 months in Galway after finishing school!)
That said, I'd be completely remiss if I didn't at least acknowledge the biggest piece of Wolverine news to come around in some time: The end of the Tommy Amaker era for Michigan basketball. Coach Amaker was fired Saturday, after the team's abysmal performance got them bounced from the second round of the NIT on Thursday. By all accounts, Tommy was a class act who ran a clean program, which was something the U needed. Unfortunately, it also needed wins and tournament appearances, and in six years under his leadership, they failed to make the NCAA tournament once.
