Posted at 8:00am -- 5/14/2010Mailbag question: More Drama
GBMW,
Why does it seem like the Michigan football program cannot seem to stay out of the news, especially when most news is bad?

Thanks for the question.
We wish we had the answer to that one. What started out as one focus, the manner in which Coach Rod left West Virginia, quickly turned into two, then three, then four, and so on. All of us have given up counting on our fingers the number of reported situations that have placed Michigan in a less than flattering position. We are now counting our toes.
There is an old expression that goes something like this: the probability of people watching you is proportional to the reasons you give someone.
There is a macroworld and a microworld, and Michigan has placed itself in the microworld, where everything and anything will be brought into view and (over) analyzed
We get so tired of the "BS" that we could scream, and the entire mess has to have a negative effect on recruiting.
This is another example of why we wish Michigan could/would/should keep the dirty laundry in house.
Volumes could be written on this mess, but the weekly dose of castor oil is more than sufficient to cause sickness, not cure.
