Merry Christmas

It's that time of year again. Time for us to slow down production here are Maize & Blue Nation and take a few days off. I'll be out of town for the next week or so. So posts will probably be non-existent in that time. If breaking news...um...breaks, I'll do my best to get at least something up on here.

One piece of news that came down the wire yesterday was that former Michigan defensive coordinator Ron English has been named the head coach at your Eastern Michigan University. He will step down as DC for Louisville after just one season. It's no mystery that we here at MBN are huge fans of English. And while it will be very interesting to see him coaching against our beloved Wolverines on September 19 when the Eagles come to visit the Big House, we wish him nothing but the best at EMU.

AND...the Michigan men's basketball squad landed themselves in the AP top 25 this week! Coming in at #24. We also came in at #28 in the ESPN/USA Today poll. Plus, Michigan topped Florida Gulf Coast last night a Crisler, 76-59. Head on over to UM Hoops for the full recap.

Merry Christmas everyone and Go Blue!
