Wolverine Wednesday: Opens the Big House to All Comers

Today is the day the public can take a tour of the new Big House.  I hope they draw my name for the free luxury box for the year (just kidding, they are not holding that contest).

Take the tour today and see if you agree with the way Bill Martin spent the 226 million.  From last year's games and the photos I have seen, I think they did a very nice job. The folks that decide to take the tour today will get the first look at Michigan's new FieldTurf . 

"For FieldTurf to be on the hallowed ground of Michigan Stadium is an honor for our company, and it is a responsibility that we take very seriously. We pledge to continue to provide the very finest and safest turf available in the world today."

Fallout from the NCAA investigation?

Brad Labadie, the director of Michigan football operations who was involved in the Countable Athletically-Related Activity (CARA) forms that were mishandled and a focus of the NCAA investigation, has resigned.

Labadie has taken a job a Blue Cross Blue Shield. David Brandon said, "I absolutely don't think people should" think his departure has anything to do with the NCAA investigation.  Speaking for myself; If I were in Brad's situation, I might find a new job as well. 

Drew Henson remembers his former Boss, the late George Steinbrenner (Freep Link ) 

As a baseball fan, I always thought it was interesting how George always put winning first and built his Yankee empire. As a Michigan fan, I wasn't real happy that he took maybe the most talented (skill-wise) QB Michigan has ever seen a year too early.

TomVH from Mgoblog gives us a quick update on Cyrus Hobbi's visit yesterday to Ann Arbor.  In short, it went great and he will seriously consider Michigan in his recruitment.
