Wallpaper Wednesday - The Worst and The Best
HT to Mikoyan and Michigan Exposures for the sleepy wolverine image
Congrats to Denard. Simply amazing.
Two-Minute Drill
* The GIF genius that is LSUfreek visually sums up the Michigan-Ohio State game perfectly over on EDSBS.
* Our buddy Dave at Maize 'N' Brew says the time for excuses is over, it's all about results moving forward.
* The Wolverine Blog also makes a plea for civility amongst the maize and blue fan base.
* Could waiting until after the bowl game to decide Rich Rod's fate backfire on Michigan? Lynn Henning thinks so.
* Former CU coach and Michigan DC under Bo, 70-year-old Bill McCartney, wants to return to the sidelines in Boulder. But his own words and past tripping him up.
* If you watched the Boise-Nevada game last weekend and saw the Bronco kicker Kyle Brotzman miss the two chip shot FGs at the end that cost his team a shot at the Rose Bowl (or more), you couldn't help but feel for him. Thankfully, Dr. Saturday explains that those who still understand college football is just a game are coming to his defense after he was crucified in some quarters.
* And while it's not college football related, read up on the "tiff" between Comcast and Internet backbone provider Level 3. If you read the Original MZone, you know I'm a huge supporter net neutrality.
* Finally, it's a stadium...built of snacks! It's Snackadium!
Did the Michigan fans reading this today notice anything during the "player insertion" portion of the Snackadium construction? As the defensive player finger foods are being placed on the guacamole field across from the O, someone asks "What kind of defense are we running? A 4-3 or a 3-4?"
*Sigh*
How sad that the dude planting snack food in a vat o' guac has a better grasp of defense than our defensive coordinator.

Happy Christmas SMS for all
May the good times and treasures of the present become the golden memories of tomorrow. Wish you lots of love, joy and happiness. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Its nearing the festive season again and so, just a reminder that a little doggy is nt just for Christmas............... Its a great position all year round!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. have a great new year ! Hopefully santa will be extra good to you . enjoy your holidays !
May your world be filled with warmth and good cheer this Holy season, and throughout the year. Wish your Christmas be filled with peace and love. Merry X-mas
If one night a big fat man jumps in at your window grabs you and puts you in a sack don't worry I told Santa I wanted you for CHRISTMAS
A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, But softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small.
Bells are ringing the wishes of Christmas day the flying snowflakes send my most sincere blessings to you merry Christmas
your as big boned as father Christmas Claus, your as stupid as a donkey, your as shit in bed as a Camal, but your still the right person for me!
I am dreaming of white Christmas , with every Christmas card i write, May your days be merry and bright, and May all your Christmas be white. Happy Christmas
May the joy and peace of Christmas be with you all through the Year. Wishing you a season of blessings from heaven above. Happy Christmas
The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.
Christmas is a time when everybody wants his past forgotten and his present remembered. What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day.
There is no ideal Christmas; only the one Christmas you decide to make as a reflection of your values, desires, affections, traditions.
May the joy and peace of Christmas be with you all through the Year. Wishing you a season of blessings from heaven above. Happy Christmas
May the glow of Christmas the spirit of Christmas, and the magic of Christmas fill your heart all year long.
wish you and your family a happy Easter and make your all days full of success and happieness
May the good times and treasures of the present become the golden memories of tomorrow. Wish you lots of love, joy and happiness. MARRY CHRISTMAS

Charles Bukowski: it's a shame
it's a shame
a great mind and a good body seldom go
together.
or a great body and a good
mind.
or a great body and a great
mind.
but worse, a not so good mind and a
not so good body often go
together.
in fact, that's almost the entire
populace.
and all these
reproducing more of
themselves.
is there any wonder why the world
is where it's at
now?
just notice the creature sitting near you
in a movie house
or standing ahead of you in a
supermarket line.
or giving a State of the Union
Address.
that the gods have let us go on
this long
this badly.
as the snail comes crawling home
to manna.
U-M AD, Fans: Torn Between Two Coaches (aka Being Dave Brandon: The Musical)
While we may kid around here at the MZone, we fully understand how difficult the coaching decision facing Michigan AD Dave Brandon is. That's because many Michigan fans feel the same way and are torn about what to do as well.
On the one hand, under Rich Rodriguez, the Wolverine offense has become explosive, almost the entire team is coming back, Rich Rod is a proven winner at previous coaching stops and nobody wants to start over from scratch.
And yet...
The Wolverines struggled against the top Big 10 teams again this season, the defense continues to show a lack of improvement and the kicking game is non-existent.
On top of all that, there is one other potential coaching option out there that even the most ardent Rich Rod supporter simply can't ignore. A name that has to at least be considered.
Yes, this is no time for our funny side here at the MZone. There's a reason Dave Brandon is struggling with making the correct coaching decision for 2011 and beyond.
In fact, if one were to put what's going on to music* - like say a Michigan blog whose founder has waaaaay too much time on his hands - it might go something like the video below.
So while Brian at MGoBlog put up a post yesterday called Being Dave Brandon, think of this as Being Dave Brandon: The Musical.
* No, that song was NOT on my iPod. I got it off YouTube. I'm hurt by the question.
PS See! You see what happens when you lose to your bitter rival SEVEN *&^% YEARS IN A ROW?! I've become the blogging equivalent of Col. Kurtz at the end of Apocalypse Now.
