No column this week -- sorry!
8-19-11
Dear Loyal Readers,
No column this week -- sorry! -- as I train to Chicago, plane to LA, plane back to Chicago then train back home by Thursday. But the other and more important reason is, we are re-tooling the site -- or, more accurately, building a completely new one. This was inspired by the fact that we have cracked the amazing number of 120,000 RSS subscribers, and thought we should Go Pro with the project.
So, yes, new and improved! (Although I realize that's completely a contradiction in terms, since it can only be one or the other, yes?)
In the meantime, Three and Out: Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan Wolverines in the Crucible of College Football (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) can be pre-ordered on amazon.com. I am planning the fall book tour now, so if you know of any group which would like a speech, reading, Q&A and/or book signing (such as UM alumni clubs, service organizations, corporations, and the like), and is willing to guarantee the purchase of 50 books (discounted by the publisher), let me know, and the publisher will likely spring for the trip.
In the meantime: Be Cool -- and, of course, Don't Go Changin'.
See you in September!

I have been thinking about schools, like Michigan and Ohio State, that have voluntarily forfeited games or seasons. Recall the Fab Five. I think that when a school makes this decision, they should refund all the season ticket holders. I need to ask Bacon his thoughts on this. It would seem to be a significant deterrent to cheating.
