Not replying to the above but wanted this near the top.

 

What does everyone think of starting a fundraiser for her favorite charity? We always talk about how large the Michigan money cannon is, and I believe we all really want to Yaklich to stay at Michigan. Why not show them some love from the entire fanbase, while supporting a great cause? Sounds like something this blog and fanbasewould be perfect for!

 

I should also add that I would have just done this, but I only know how to donate to such causes, not start them effectively.

You can donate to the Saline Young Adult Program she mentions in her tweet. That sounds like a good thing to do regardless of where he ends up.

I can't imagine a scenario where their family's future will be decided by whether or not fans throw money at a charity, but go for it.

He might have noticed the user name but that doesn't mean he thought it was actually her. Lots of people use famous names as screen names, including on this blog, as we all know, & including making up accounts to make a specific post with a name you use as a joke to fit a circumstance.

However it became obvious that it was really her after the 1st tweet and at that point he should've checked to see what her official handle was.

I mean, here's the thing -- Brian made the case that Howard should keep Yaklich because it'll take some work off Howard's cluttered desk.  OK, fine.

But Yaklich wasn't instrumental in putting together a good defense.  He elevated Michigan to an elite defense.  The #2 defense in the country (#1 by some measures).

Just because you ain't shabby youself, you don't just let an accomplishment like that walk out the door without an offer.  I think Howard of all people would understand that.

If nothing else, keep Yaklich on board for a year at any price so Howard can download his brain.

Wow, memory trigger. I remember my late Dad telling me that he hated meatloaf as a kid in the 1930's because his mother used to put "those (expletive) carrots in it."

And he made a killer meatloaf: seasoned it like steak, chopped onions mixed in, and strips of bacon on top. And ketchup was fine, but BBQ sauce was preferred.

Damn - now I not only miss the Old Man, but I'm hungry as hell.

Before health reasons restricted my diet, the wonderful MGoWife who shares my house made the greatest meat loaf anywhere. And it was simple. She simply stuffed as much hamburger as would fit into a meat loaf pan and put it in the oven until it was done. No egg, no bread crumbs, no ketchup, no nothing except hamburger and a tiny bit of seasoning. Now that was meat loaf.
