New Big Ten Logo

Friend of the MZone, 5th and Long, has obtained this exclusive photo of the new Big Ten logo after today's announcement that Maryland is joining the conference.

We joke, but if Jim Delany knew it would add a couple more eyeballs to the B1G Network, he'd consider it.

Wolverine Blog's Ace Anbender named MGoBlog Recruiting Ninja

Ace Anbender, founder of The Wolverine Blog, has been named the new "recruiting ninja" for MGoBlog*.  As a result, he's leaving behind his duties at TWB after being called up to the The Show.

Just wanted to wish Ace continued success on his new endeavor.  Be sure to read him on MGo and follow him on Twitter.

*  Did you chuckle that I hyper-linked MGo, as if you don't already have it bookmarked as a favorite?  ("MGo...Blog, you say?  Huh.  I'm a huge Michigan fan but I never heard of it.  Thanks for the link, Yost.")

MZone to do list: add Michelin Man

If you follow Yost's twitter account, you might have noticed our friend (or is that foe?) Tony Gerdman at The OZone got a random tweet directed his way from a disgruntled (and now apparently former) reader. If you don't already follow Tony on Twitter, you should do so. His attention to detail and perspective on anything related to what is happening in Columbus is a great counter weight to what we typically flock to as Wolverine fans. Expand your mind and look at the world from a new angle.

Anyway, back to the tweet... read for yourself:



Keep in mind, nobody at the MZone is a professional web designer or journalist. We have not spent any money on focus groups or market analysis. I am pretty sure T9 (despite her stunning lack of photoshop skills) is the brains and has the highest IQ in the group. I know that Yost has a pretty good sense of humor and is an Oscar worthy video producer. I've been known to chop up and pump out an image or two. So the question needs to be asked: What makes the OZone different from the MZone? and What can we do different to win the hearts and eyeballs of the fine folks at The Gamers Lab? I think I found the answer.... but just in case, here is a screen shot and scorecard to help:

Damn, I'm handsome

Our friends at MVictors have been doing some great work lately.  Last week, Greg started a March Madness-style bracket of potential coaches and it's down to the final four.  Today, they had a guest post up about how this isn't the first time in Michigan's history that there have been "factions" over the football team.

But my favorite part of that post was the video below showing a photo compilation of yours truly from 1901 through 1940.  Damn, I look good.  And haven't aged a day some 71 years since that last photo.  I'm just sayin' ladies.
