About Ryan »

I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan and fell in love with the Wolverines. I'm a student at Miami University studying business, but have always had a passion for writing about sports. I love to write about College Football and Baseball. I am not your ordinary Michigan Wolverines fan. I follow any of the sports that they play in not just football like those disgusting band-wagon fans. I will write alot about recruiting because finding out the Wolverines just got a 4 or 5 star recruit excites me but will also break down parts of the Michigan team that have been playing well or poorly. I leave the game recaps up to other writers unless I attend the game because its hard to tell much from the game if you are only seeing half of the play. I'm the community leader for Michigan Football along with Jason Braczy so if you new and need some help or if you want us to read something just drop us a line.

Hey guys, if you would please read this article on the comparison between Vince Young and Tim Tebow.

This is actually the most important piece to me that I have written, so I kindly ask that you give your feedback on the situation, and help with the promotion of the article.

Hey, I really did enjoy what you wrote on the Big Ten defensive lines. If I don't respond to your comment this evening, it's because I've gone to bed, lol, but I assure you I'll respond if a response is warranted. Keep up the nice work! I'll have to check out your stuff more often. First time reader.

Wermers left Michigan after being declared academically ineligible...apparently his problems with family values didn't include lying.
