Per a sport site alert I just recieved on my phone. Fitz officially named the No 1. tailback. I know, shocker!

...it's weird how they make stories and then THEY blow them out of proportion. Not the fans, but other media outlets themselves.
The AP ran a story about Fitz not yet being the starter based off of ONE LINE that Hoke said in the presser after the game. Then ESPN.com all of a sudden has the "story" as one of it's major headlines (and it's still there): Michigan's Hoke won't say Toussaint has RB job.
I'm sorry, but that's what I HATE about the media. Fabrication of news.

They just try to get us to click on it...then mission accomplished.

My thing is...WHO CARES!?
If I'm a fan of ANY other team in America, why is that news? Hell, I'm a fan of Michigan and it's not even news.
And he had a good game, but it's not like he went off for 350 and 5 TD's...I'm sure 90% of the nation is like "who? ...don't you mean Denard?"
To non-Michigan fans (aka blasphemists) it's not news...to Michigan fans, it's something we already know.
Thus the story is pointless to every reader, no matter his/her rooting interest.

I can't help but get distracted when I read your posts. I wonder what it could be...

I can think of two reasons.

Celebrate!

Every time I see that dude go flying, I can't help but laugh. It almost seems like the guy who is running starts to run a bit faster to avoid that guy diving.

That looks like Boubocar Cissoko's pursuit angle

Can't be Cissoko because there was none of that arm-waving-in-negation crap that he used to do every time he was with 10 yards of an incomplete pass regardless of whether he had actually done anything.

That seemed more like a Stevie Brown safety special

No 1 tailback is = to Toussaint, but no 2 tailbacks are = to Vincent Smith

Why wasn't this decision made before the MSU game? It was obvious to me at that time Fitz gave us the best chance to win.

Tomorrow is All Saint's Day (in French, la Toussaint).

I like this move.
Toussaint > Vincent Smith
