Cue the Circus Music

I had a totally different blog in mind for this week, but given the recent Barnum and Bailey's Big Top Circus that has rolled into Ann Arbor, I'll save it for another time.  Instead, this week, I will address the fiasco that is taking place in one of my favorite places in the entire world.  Ann Arbor.

In my best circus announcer voice: "In the far left corner of the circus please feast your eyes upon the Offensive and Defensive Coordinators for the University of Michigan, Greg Mattison and Doug Nussmeier. You will notice that they are amazing recruiters that come with a whole resume full of great talent at previous prestigious positions.  Watch closely as they under develop players, have only 10 players on the field at times, and call questionable plays time and time again. This is really something magnificent and mind-boggling to see."

Continuing with my circus announcer voice: "In the far right corner of the circus for your viewing pleasure you will see Head Football Coach Brady Hoke be eaten alive by lions, tigers and bears. Oh my! He will be hung by the trapeze with no safety net below him. He will make unfathomable and dangerous decisions without even knowing it.  And he will do all of this with absolutely no preparation. Only the Circus Director (aka David Brandon) will know what is really going to happen, but will not tell Brady. This is an example of complete and utter miscommunication at its finest and quite a sight to see."

"In the center of this amazing and crumbling circus you will see David Brandon. He happens to be wearing an invisibility cloak, because now that the shit has hit the fan he doesn't want to be seen or heard from.  He'll let the guys to his left and his right take all the attention away from him, while he tries to some way escape the circus like David Copperfield."

This is my best assessment of what has transpired over the last few days. I hope. And pray. And beg. And plead. Just make it stop. Get it right. And let's get back to playing Michigan Football.

Forever and Always, Go Blue!

My Pick 6 Flubs of the week aside from the abysmal game :
1. NO ONE on the sidelines seeing the hit on Shane Morris
2. Russell Bellomy not being able to find his helmet
3. Shane Morris being put back into the game
4. The Monday press conference that Brady was ill prepared for
5. David Brandon knowing on Sunday that Shane had a concussion and not telling anyone
6. The much delayed and suspicious statement from David Brandon released in the wee hours of the morning
