Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As I try to clean up my messy desk and head home for my wife’s wonderful thanksgiving feast–sharing it with all kids, their spouses and seven wonderful grandchildren, plus brothers, sisters, parents, nephews, nieces and on and on, I can’t help but express a bit of gratitude. While I haven’t read Mitch Albom’s [...]

Abbreviated. A few site notes: The offensive UFR for Wisconsin is basically done and will go up tomorrow. Blog will be off Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving; Wednesday will be light. I've said I'd do last-game UFRs before and not come through so this isn't a promise, but I do intend to UFR this Ohio State game and I have a vague idea to go back and do the Citrus Bowl against Florida; last year's...

Take off the cleats. The Wolverines are done. No bowl. No winning record. A season that began with four straight victories ended with five straight losses.

Ten years ago, he first noticed it. A yellow ceiling stain. A water leak. Year after year it grew worse. Bigger. Darker. Sometimes during Sunday services he would glance up and wonder how much longer the old roof had.

Whether Rich Rodriguez gets the "little longer" may have a lot to do with the final score Saturday. But it shouldn't. So who are you going to be, U-M?

My apologies to Mitch Albom, as it's been Wednesdays with Dorie around here lately. I know that I've spread myself a little bit thin when I run out of cinnamon. Seriously, now, I. Ran. Out. Of. Cinnamon. In the fall. It's one of my favorite spices, or really one of my favorit e flavors, and I use multiple 8 oz Penzey's bags each year. So imagine my surprise when I went to make this recipe and found...

I don’t know why I still find it astonishing when publishers tell me they are "only looking for big books," that mid-list titles aren’t on their radar. How do they know what’s going to be a big book? This last week, when I called an editor to follow up on a proposal I sent him--by a Pulitzer Prize winning writer no less--he told me how much he had enjoyed reading it. He...

It seems that, one year after his election, Barack Obama still remains an ideal in places overseas. I was amazed at the uniformity of the admiration for the man, as if it were something any sane person would agree on.

The right non-reverend Charles Pierce knows how to do a book review , here in regard to smarm-merchant (and I know smarm) Bill Simmons "The Book of Basketball" : I swear to Christ, there's a book in here somewhere, and probably a pretty good one. Unfortunately, at this point, it appears that I'm going to need diamond-tipped drill bits, Bruce Willis from Armageddon, that rock-eating thing...

To a packed crowd of people, and over 23 Satellite locations around the country who sent in questions, Albom spoke about his latest book Have a Little Faith. This book [...]

So in the end, Steve Yzerman is, above all things, a man of his word, and his word was good and he was good and the idea of him was good.
