I don't doubt this is true. But I also wonder.... why? If I'm Kalen DeBour or Kenny Dillingham or [insert top choice here], does the AD really matter after I sign a 7-year, $70MM contract with a $50MM buyout? Michigan is a top-tier program with top-tier resources and top-dollar donors. That's not going to change with a new AD or new President. Do we really think that new administration is going to come in and say "I don't like football" or "I don't pledge institutional support to football" in such a way that will actually impact the head coach's job? Stephen Ross and Larry Ellison are the real people in charge and they aren't going anywhere.

I know I'm the resident optimist lately but I don't like the Lions odds today. The Rams seem to be a head above the field in a crowded NFC and the Lions haven't shown the ability to do it consistently. If they can get Stafford into some turnover trouble it will help a lot. But he usually plays at his best against the Lions. The offensive line will need to be at their best and the defensive line will need to get pressure, or it's probably going to be a 10-point deficit all afternoon.

On the topic of LSU retreads, what's Ed Orgeron up to?

Dianna keeping Freeman's agent happy.

I seriously doubt he would. Less likely than DeBour leaving Alabama. You don't know unless you ask though.

It might be him. It might not be him. It could be that ASU is about to extend him and that will be that. It could just as easily be that Michigan did an interview with him yesterday, there was mutual interest, and Michigan said "we'll get back to you by Sunday night." Presumably after they have heard back from DeBour or Freeman or another top choice. In the meantime, ASU doesn't want to lose Dillingham, meets with him and makes him an offer to extend him at ASU, for which there is (also) mutual interest. So sure, he's "close" to signing an extension, but he's also "close" to signing with Michigan. Until ink is signed on one contract or the other, no one knows. And that this story is that they are "close" means very little.

Yeah, drafting a safety would be a move for 2027, not 2026. First step will need to be extending Amik. Arnold and Reed on the outside with Amik at the slot is a good start. If you're concerned you will be without both Branch and Kerby for some, most, or all of 2026, you need to sign someone like Kyle Duggar (PIT), Jalen Thompson (ARI), or Andre Cisco (NYJ). Maybe Reed Blankenship (PHI) could be considered too. Draft reinforcements will likely come too little, too late. If they have confidence in Branch's recovery though, I wouldn't be surprised if all they do is take a mid- to late-round flyer. They won't give out a three-year deal for someone to ride the bench after half a season.

I wouldn't go that far yet. He's been pushing his knee for two months trying to get back on the field. He might feel a lot better, even if not 100%, if he just shuts it down completely for six months. And that's not even considering the possibility of medical interventions during that time.

My understanding (and I should be really clear that I am not a lawyer and I've never been arrested, I just have weird anecdotal knowledge of Ann Arbor court systems stemming from my time working in child welfare) is that Community Corrections in Ann Arbor, next door to the jail, monitors individuals on pre-trial release. Two or three times a week, they walk over with a handful of tethers and install them on those individuals who have bonded out and are waiting on a tether to be released as a condition. But if you post bond on a Wednesday afternoon and they already walked over on Wednesday morning, you'll likely wait until at least Friday morning. If the jail wants him out, I could see them asking Community Corrections to make a special Friday afternoon trip for everyone, even if they normally would wait until Monday morning.

I agree with this. She shouldn't be stalked or harassed or threatened. And I'm sure she'll get a sizable payout in a civil suit from the University and Moore personally. But she knew what she was doing. She knew Moore was married. She did it anyway. For years. I feel very little sympathy for her relative to Kelli and her young children.

With the order that he be placed on GPS tether before release, he may be stuck in jail until Monday. They don't work quickly in installing those things. Unless the jail staff is sick of the media attention and speeds it up for him, which is a distinct possibility.

Washtenaw County is not treating this like any other case. Normally a prosecutor doesn't even appear for the arraignments, unless they're asking for no bond.
