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

There was something posted on Michigan Rivals board that said to "stay tuned" today.. who knows what it is.. I'm hoping for a change in leadership.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. 

Or maybe it's just steam.  Or a smoldering dying ember.

In any event, here's to smoke!  Kidding aside, it seems at this point to be largely a matter of "when" rather than "whether" Brandon has a happy life somewhere else.

Actually guys, I have a connection to a Freep writer -- UM press conference at 1pm!

Haven't seen it anywhere but I work with his wife and she just sent me an e-mail titled, "UofM press conference at 1"

Haven't seen this confirmed anywhere but take that for what it's worth

I would love for this to be true, but I can't help but feel skeptical. It seems like this would be a pretty abrupt announcement. Obviously, there has been a steady lead up to his firing/resignation, but I feel like there would be a little more build up from the rumor mill before he actually stepped down.

Side note: I wonder how this affects Brandon's future career ambitions. I assume his days as an AD are done, but that doesn't really mean anything given his background. Would his rampant mismanagement, public gaffes, and horrific public persona keep him from landing another corporate job (probably not) or sink any political ambitions (I would think so, at least until he can mount a kind of image re-hab)?

This seems like a good spot to share my latest plan for a Halloween costume.  Pretty much everyone on the board should already have these items. No goofy makeup. No time wasted at Party City. 

  • tennis shoes
  • khaki pants (pleated)
  • michigan long sleeve T or pullover
  • whistle/ dry erase marker on lanyard
  • M cap
  • headset
  • big red Christmas bow on top

You're welcome to all the guys getting dragged to Halloween parties this weekend.
