Thanks For Everything, Ace!
Ace just posted that he has resigned on YouTube. I know it’s safe to write that we’ll all be thinking about you, Ace, and will miss your contributions. Get well soon, man.

Get well, Ace! You've been such a valuable part of this site for many, many years. You will be missed. Cheers to your future.
October 8th, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
Whoa sorry to hear. Was glad to have met you at the Taco-Butt exhibition many years ago. Have enjoyed your content here. Take care!
October 8th, 2018 at 11:40 PM ^
Thanks for everything Ace! Hope everything works out as well as possible
October 8th, 2018 at 11:57 PM ^
Ace, thank you for your tremendous contributions to MGoBlog, and all the best to you in the future.
October 9th, 2018 at 12:18 AM ^
Ace - you've been part of my daily routine for almost eight years. That's a good thing. I really hope you recover because you're young and have more to give. This has to be happening for a reason. Get well.
October 9th, 2018 at 12:26 AM ^
Here's hoping someone reading this thread can be of assistance to expedite Ace's recovery.
October 9th, 2018 at 12:28 AM ^
God bless, my brother.
October 9th, 2018 at 12:40 AM ^
Ace, I hope your health improves and wish you all the best post-MGoBlog.
I admit that when you first joined up I used to have a little feeling of "ah geez, I'd rather be reading Brian." But before too long I was looking forward to your writing in particular. You did so much to bring this site and community to the next level - basketball coverage, the podcast, even "small" things like the game summaries - and we all benefited from your work. Your piece on Walton is up there with the other great posts on this site as some of the best sports writing I've read.
In that spirit, forgive me for throwing your own words at you: "His crowning achievement was not that he missed his last shot, but that everyone believed it was going in." Sad that it had to end this way for you at MGoBlog. Grateful to have seen you play.
October 9th, 2018 at 12:41 AM ^
We Love You Ace!!!
October 9th, 2018 at 12:54 AM ^
God bless you Amigo.
October 9th, 2018 at 1:16 AM ^
Ace, I started reading mgoblog because of your recruiting posts. You are a unique talent and undeniably brave/courageous individual. We all wish you well in whatever your next endeavor is, and thank you so much for your contributions to this community. Mgoblog would not be what it is today without you, get well soon!
October 9th, 2018 at 2:18 AM ^
You put out some impressive stuff in your time here. While I'm sorry to see you go, I saw your moving farewell video, and I'm happy that you'll be pursuing something very important to you.
Get better; it was a pleasure reading your stuff on MGoBlog.
October 9th, 2018 at 4:33 AM ^
Dammit, why can't we have nice things?! /shakes fist at sheer bloodymindedness of the universe
Seriously, though, Ace, thanks for your many excellent contributions to MGoBlog, gonna miss you. I hope you get better and find the energy to do whatever you're going to do next. Maybe do a guest post now and again?
If not for you, I might have eaten hummus made from kittens.
October 9th, 2018 at 7:06 AM ^
Ace, thanks for your outstanding contributions. Get well soon brother!
October 9th, 2018 at 7:29 AM ^
Enjoyed all of the content I've devoured on this site from you Ace. Best of luck on the new direction you are taking in your life. Praying your health improves.
October 9th, 2018 at 8:06 AM ^
Ace has put himself through a ton to bring us more than just #content. We should all be grateful. Thank you, and best of luck in all future endeavors.
October 9th, 2018 at 8:22 AM ^
Thanks Ace enjoyed your work...prayers and good wishes for your health
October 9th, 2018 at 8:30 AM ^
I've never met Ace, but I feel like this place is a community. I'm glad to see so many people rallying around Ace, and want to second all the support described below. I hope you get all the help you need.
October 9th, 2018 at 8:32 AM ^
Ace is a damn good writer.
That is all.
October 9th, 2018 at 8:40 AM ^
Ace,
Thank you for your thoughtful, kind-spirited, humorous, gif-filled insights on Michigan sports. Your contributions to this site won't be forgotten and your charisma for Michigan will be missed around these parts. Hopefully, you won't be a stranger.
I hope you find health in all its forms. Good luck as you take on new challenges.
You will be missed.
Go Blue.
October 9th, 2018 at 8:42 AM ^
This was a most depressing video to watch; poor guy. Ace was a perfect contributor on mgoblog, a natural counterpoint to Brian. They made a wonderful team.
I do hope he is able to get his health in order - that must be frustrating, scary, maddening, etc.
I also hope he knows that the mgoblog community is all thinking about him, and wishing him well.
October 9th, 2018 at 8:43 AM ^
One last time,
Thanks, Ace.
Of course in memory, I will still post this randomly on Brian's posts.
October 9th, 2018 at 8:48 AM ^
Truly sorry to hear the news.
Ace, I have really appreciated you work and contribution to the blog. You will be missed!
Take good care of yourself and Go Blue!
October 9th, 2018 at 8:49 AM ^
His was a welcome voice. Thanks for everything, Ace. I hope things get better, friend.
October 9th, 2018 at 9:09 AM ^
Ace, thank you for your contributions to this site. You have an incredible talent that I hope you get to use again soon. Take time to your health. I'll be lifting you up in my prayers.
October 9th, 2018 at 9:15 AM ^
Sad to hear as Ace's features are my favorite on the blog.
Ace,
Keep fighting the good fight and let us know anytime you need the Money Cannon pointed somewhere.
October 9th, 2018 at 9:23 AM ^
Good luck man.
October 9th, 2018 at 10:06 AM ^
Ace, as one of the legion of strangers who have enjoyed your writing and your broadcasts over the years, thank you for efforts and I wish you all the best in your struggle with CFS. I truly wish for you every good thing. Take care.
October 9th, 2018 at 10:13 AM ^
I have been lurking on this board for many years and have never created an account or posted here until today.
I created an account to wish you well, Ace, and pray that you have a full recovery. I have appreciated the content that you and Brian have provided over the years and truly hope that you can someday return to your love of covering Wolverine sports with renewed vigor.
Rivalries are a big part of what makes college athletics so great. I respect the rivalry and respect you, Ace. From my vantage point, you always provided fair and thoughtful analysis. And the humor was appreciated, too. Thanks, again, and I wish you nothing but the best.
October 9th, 2018 at 10:31 AM ^
Get well soon, and come back stronger than ever. We'll miss you, Ace!
October 9th, 2018 at 10:33 AM ^
Best of luck Ace, I hope you can get your health on track and live the life you deserve. Thank you for everything you've brought to the blog over the years.
October 9th, 2018 at 10:45 AM ^
Hey Ace, thanks for all your great contributions, they have brought me great joy in my Michigan fandom. All the best to you going forward, you have so much to offer!
October 9th, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
Ace - you have made this community a better place. I have no doubt that you will also do so in whatever groups or communities to which your journey may lead. Love you, man.
October 9th, 2018 at 10:53 AM ^
Best of luck to you, Ace. Thank you for all of your contributions to this site over the years. I learned a lot from your writing about Football and especially Basketball. You are a good man.
October 9th, 2018 at 10:53 AM ^
Ace, You have been a valued cog of Mgoblog family. Take care of yourself, and hope to see you back again down the road. Go blue!
October 9th, 2018 at 11:16 AM ^
Thank you for all the tremendous work.
October 9th, 2018 at 11:21 AM ^
It's sad to see you struggling Ace. Resigning via video was very brave. Thank you for all that you've provided us over the years. You can be proud of what you accomplished during your time of covering Michigan athletics. You're a great writer. Just by opening up and sharing your perspective I know you've already made an impact on a lot of people. For that, you should also be proud. I hope you find some answers and peace. May the grace of God be with you on your journey.
October 9th, 2018 at 11:37 AM ^
Must've taken a lot of energy to even make such a heartfelt and moving video Ace, and I can't begin to imagine how difficult this ordeal has been and continues to be for you. Here's hoping you are able to see real improvements over time; those of us who've enjoyed reading your great work over the years will miss your contributions, but will of course continue to pull for you and your recovery. All the best to you and your family, and thank you for your time, and talent, and efforts. Cheers, and go blue!
October 9th, 2018 at 3:31 PM ^
So sorry you are leaving Ace. Hoping you are feeling better soon and best wishes for success in your next adventure.
October 9th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
Going to miss you on the podcasts, Ace, take care.
My wife has CFS so I can appreciate what you're experiencing. FWIW she eliminated gluten and cut back on sugar and it helped her immensely.
October 9th, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
Although I am someone who has often disagreed with your analysis and politics I understand that at the end of the day these things don't matter compared to real life.
Praying for you and your health my friend!
October 9th, 2018 at 6:52 PM ^
Your writing has brought me a lot of joy. You have been a key factor in making mgoblog my favorite website. Wishing you the best in your battle.
October 10th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
Long time Lurker, wishing Ace the best. He will be missed
