That type of attitude was shown off perfectly on a YouTube video that included Weis speaking at a "team brunch" where fans were also present. Weis not only said something about Michigan making excuses, but he added to it by saying, "To hell with Michigan." (See below; Weis starts talking around 51 seconds in)</li></ul><p><center><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NovvKHpkAvw&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NovvKHpkAvw&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center><p><ul>I guess all Weis really has is the ability to talk trash as he can't really discuss what happened in 2006 and 2007 when Michigan and Notre Dame played. I get that he doesn't like U-M, but what he said was just so random. I don't have a huge problem with it as Weis can talk all he wants. That doesn't change the fact that he is a lousy coach, and after all, Bo Schembechler uttered the phrase "To hell with Notre Dame" on more than one occasion. Then again, Bo actually had the right to talk.</ul><p><ul><li>In order to not have to worry about how noisy the construction at Michigan Stadium is, U-M <a href="http://blog.mlive.com/annarbornews/2008/05/university_of_michigan_cancels.html">withdrew a request</a> to close a lane of traffic on South Main Street.</li><p><li>Ekpe Udoh is not sure where he will transfer just yet. I'm betting he ends up at Oklahoma State, but his AAU coach <a href="http://info.detnews.com/redesign/blogs/bigtenblog/index.cfm?blogid=1095">had this to say</a>:<br /><blockquote>"We're going to look at schools that will be a viable choice," Malone told me. "There is no timetable, there's no hurry."</blockquote>The fact that this coach said "we" tells the entire story if you ask me. I've felt that he was the one telling Udoh to transfer in the first place, and this quote really proves that in my opinion.</li><p><li>Sam Webb talked about recruit Dion Sims in his <a href="http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080508/OPINION03/805080351">latest article</a> for The Detroit News.</li><p><li>The Michigan softball team was upset by Michigan State earlier today in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament. This loss comes as a pretty big surprise as Michigan was one of the favorites to win the entire tourney.</li></ul>Seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02899569752459328503noreply@blogger.com7
