Hey Michigan

What surprised me the most was the loss to Toledo in the Big House. It seems the players have not bought into the system and for some reason Rich cannot get them motivated which may be a lack of leadership on the team. I understand that these players may not fit into the mold Rich desires but the loss to Toledo was inexcusable. As far as the loss this weekend Michigan was just out-gunned. This is a poorly coached team and after a few players transferred to other schools it only seems to point out there are more problems with Big Blue than what you read. source

I was sad to miss the last meet up, it was even on my birthday. I am moving to the area in September though, so I'll be checking out this thread to find out the next place. source

Lower Michigan really sucks for legal trails to ride on. The Mounds is about the closest place to this area if you like mud holes. source

Really nice job on this one, the details are great and I like the BG. I think I would either clean up the leaf on the bottom right of the frame or even just crop the bottom to remove this part of the leaf and below the perch. source

I'd say Fontana would be first on the chopping block as it's attendence hasn't been very good for a while. This market just won't succesfully support 2 cup dates. Michigan is likely 2nd on the list because of the corporate aspect. Phoenix, I think, would be last as it offers 2 warm weather dates. source
