Coach hired. Some will probably be satisfied with the results—my boss: “He’s the right guy, young and hungry.” Nope, Hoke’s actually old, and anyone who thinks Rodriguez wasn’t just as hungry to win here can only have been ignoring those, what do you call ’em…games? But anyhoo, we have our guy, and unlike Rodriguez, he understands the goal is to win, not lose, games against that team down South. Other goals Hoke is said to be familiar with include scoring more points than the opposing team and—just as importantly—holding them to fewer points than you score. But okay, that’s it. Barbs officially withdrawn. Set as my college allegiance is, sulking any longer over the current state of things makes little sense. In other news, the Michi-phile above is Louise Wener of mid-nineties Brit-Poppers Sleeper. The band’s deliciously caustic lead single “Inbetweener” lit up the UK pop charts in 1994, powered by a Smiths-ripped guitar line and a music vid spotlighting the band’s “fit as fuck” lead singer. The song has absolutely nothing to do with the Michigan coaching situation…

Okay, that’s it.
