Buckle Up? Change may happen today (EDIT: 1:30 PM Presser To Discuss Brandon)
Lot's of chatter this morning about a change happening TODAY with the AD. Nothing confirmed as of yet, but STAY TUNED.
EDIT: No trick, just treats for all of us wanting him out.
Edit 2: BOOM
RT @reporterdavidj: BREAKING: #UMICH to hold press conference to discuss @DaveBrandonAD, multiple sources tell Free Press.

You have any of those source things?
October 31st, 2014 at 11:00 AM ^
Take it for what it is worth. Smoke, fire, maybe somebody is simply smoking something over there. Brandon and a few others likely really know, I doubt he is hopping on the blog to provide an update unless he simply wants to be snarky
October 31st, 2014 at 11:00 AM ^
Chris Balas from TheWolverine.com (Rivals) posted on Twitter: "Stay Tuned Today".
For all we know he's going to post a picture of him in his Halloween Costume dressed as Brandon.
Doesn't make logical sense to fire Brandon the day before the Homecoming game. The day after, sure. The day before? I dunno. Anything is possible but the timing seems off.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:03 AM ^
Well we are a corporation now and, if you're going to fire somebody, do it on a Friday.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:08 AM ^
Wouldn't the best time to fire the AD that has alienated and pissed off a bunch of alums be the day before they all come to town for a football game? I actually thought that something would happen earlier this week because of it being homecoming.
No better time to start passing the hat to collect all the buyout money than when all the alums are back in town!
October 31st, 2014 at 11:11 AM ^
Brandon is trolling us. He's going as a macaroni noodle for halloween as a big F-U to Brian.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:14 AM ^
Stop toying with my emotions. If it hasn't happened yet or there's no credible source, it's not worth reporting on.
EDIT: Alright, that's good enough for me. You win, I will allow myself to get a little excited now. I still stand by my downvote for posting without sources.

I farted on a metal chair and it echoed.

haha thats great. Maybe people would recognize you better if you were Brady Hoke and walked with a stake and just jabbed it into the ground repeatedly.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:06 AM ^
woah.... get outta here bro.
October 31st, 2014 at 10:47 AM ^
Hope you have a happy life

that it's halloween is a bonus.

If you can't trust the bartender, who can you trust?
October 31st, 2014 at 10:51 AM ^
He's the lug who fills your mug with the drug you chug! OHHHH YEAH!!
October 31st, 2014 at 10:49 AM ^
I heard the same from a friend inside the department that there are rumblings about DB stepping down as AD. Again, not confirmed, word of mouth, etc. I wasn't going to post it because of the aforementioned caveats but with this thread I decided it was worth noting.
Here's to hoping it's true!
October 31st, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
I've heard it from two separate sources as well. Hesitated to post it for a bit, but I feel very confident about it right now. I will risk bolivia on it.
October 31st, 2014 at 10:53 AM ^
If he's willing to risk Bolivia...
October 31st, 2014 at 10:58 AM ^
October 31st, 2014 at 11:03 AM ^
To your sources but not you. I can't imagine Brandon resigns willingly. Its one thing if the word is he's going to get canned but it isn't in his character to walk.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:05 AM ^
Resign...with a bag full of money. My guess is that the last weeks have been a negotiation rather than a decision.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:17 AM ^
Brett McMurphy of ESPN just tweeted that Brandon is resigning.

and it has been made clear that it's imminent, then ego is a reason to step down. It does the least damage to his political aspirations.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:09 AM ^
but his ego will be fired!
I accept full responsibility.....but not the blame
October 31st, 2014 at 10:49 AM ^
His source is likely a rivals thread. Nothing of note was stated. Just an ominious "Stay Tuned"
October 31st, 2014 at 10:57 AM ^
The difference between ESPN citing an anonymous source and some random guy on a blog citing an anonymous source can be measured in orders of magnitude. I have no reason to believe that this guy is well-connected or that his sources are anything more than someone in his econ class that knows a guy who tried out for the lacross team.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:06 AM ^
Or even the lacrosse team.
October 31st, 2014 at 10:49 AM ^
October 31st, 2014 at 10:49 AM ^
Crossing my fingers...
October 31st, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
Where is the "chatter" coming from? Haven't seen any new info to suggest any change happening today.
October 31st, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
October 31st, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
maybe they are true? He did say it's similar to the flight tracker stuff so it's a 50-50 chance this happens today. Nothing crazy but Sam Webb did have some coaching profiles on Gobluewolverine today so things are moving along.
October 31st, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
It's a small distance from the upvote arrow to the downvote arrow. Hoping you're right!
October 31st, 2014 at 10:53 AM ^
Stealing this (credited) for my signature, as it's awesome.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:05 AM ^
Thanks! Now that the Freep is reporting it (sigh...), upvote it is!
October 31st, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
October 31st, 2014 at 11:08 AM ^
That is all.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:11 AM ^
That is all.
October 31st, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
There's lots of chatter around my house today, too. I've been raking leaves out in the chill and my teeth are clattering like castanets.
October 31st, 2014 at 11:05 AM ^
October 31st, 2014 at 11:13 AM ^
you should plus 1.
October 31st, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
Jeff Moss is tweeting that he is hearing things and perhaps a 1:30 press conference. He's decently connected in Detroit. He is asking for confirmation too, though, not giving it.
