With Michigan winning it all in basketball Monday night and hockey headed to the Frozen Four, I’ve been thinking about what it took to get here.
The adversity that Michigan Athletics was forced to deal with recently caused many to attack the AD publicly and in secret. Being from an era where that type of behavior wasn't tolerated, that never sat well with me.
Despite all of the drama swirling about the department, Warde Manuel and his team weathered the storm and guided us to where we are today ... calm waters. Some jumped ship, but for those who stayed ... I think you know the rest.
Remember that celebrating banners includes acknowledging the leadership that helped make them possible.
Go Blue.

@jasonwhitlock That’s a really good point. I still haven’t met anyone who can remember Indiana’s QB when they won the Natty. I think he won some stiff arm trophy, too. If only he was at the school for a few more months we’d all probably remember.

I have a great deal of respect for the men that we compete against in the arena…We battled. They won. 👊🏻

Really good moment: Dan Hurley and the entire UConn team waited for the Michigan players to come back after their immediate celebration to shake their heads and congratulate them on winning the national title.

So many memories in my career but getting the chance to be on the call for my alma mater’s national championship is right up there at the top. #goblue

The last time @UMich won a National Championship in basketball, I was a sophomore. We just won our second natty during The Twins sophomore year. Enjoy it! 💛💙

@Johnubacon Unsolicited opinion, which usually means it goes poorly for me. They win tonight; you write a book about this team. I promise to buy lots of copies. You know I'll make good on that. Btw, The Gales of November makes an excellent 🎁
