KC Lopata is running for Ann Arbor's city council
I just read on MLive that former Michigan kicker KC Lopata is running for an Ann Arbor city council seat:
"He also is the founder, director and head coach of Lopata Kicking in Ann Arbor"
Missed opportunity to name it "Lopata's Kicking Competancy Academy" but more power to him. Anyway, he adds,
"I first moved to Ann Arbor in the fall of 2004 as a freshman at the University of Michigan and walk-on kicker on the school's football team. That was when I first fell in love with our amazing city, and in the years since moving back as a non-student resident and homeowner, my love has only grown."
Best of luck to KC!

Shouldn't be a surprise based on his answers:

Guns 'n' Roses Use Your Illusion...
WHICH ONE, KC?!?!
Actually, it's brilliant... He gets a twofer.

In 1980. Ran against Susan Greenberg in Ward 1 and got my ass kicked.
That was a valuable learning lesson.

As a resident of Ann Arbor, what we really need on the City Council are some crazy left-wingers that make even us "normal" leftists cringe. Our city has spent the last two years protesting the shooting of a few dozen deer, for Christ's sake. It's like these people have no idea what goes on this time of year all around them in Michigan...

Maybe I'm going crazy, but didn't some of the Townie loonies also try to stop the building of Skyline H.S. due to a disruption in the habitat of some "endangered" species of amphibian that lived over there?

The worst was that they rejected the proposed name of Schembechler High School in favor of Skyline.

Good Luck to him! I played soccer @ UM with his Brother, Karl. Great Family, very good people.

Kidding. Good luck KC! First order of business- pass a resolution that "he was short".

Wish him great success.
