Humbled

Sometime this week, I reached 20,000 views. Not bad for a bunch of wrong predictions, infrequent posting,and dick jokes that stopped being funny in 1998.

Seriously, I appreciate it. Naked pictures of the author when we reach 200,000*

My 7 apologies

For the 7 people who read this site with any regularity, I want to apologize for the absence. I should be back to posting regularly within a few days. I traded the admin duties for a handle of cheap vodka and a carton of unfiltered Pall Malls thinking the rapture was coming. I still think I got the better end of the deal.

But seriously, I was car searching and starting a spring semester. I am taking Spanish, and was incorrect when I thought I could get a B just by knowing how to ask for beer and directions to the bathroom.

The car search was tougher than dollar store toilet paper, but we bought a brand new(ish) 2008 Impala. Thoughts on the OSU situation, Tigers, WNBA Draft, and more to come.

Like SEMS on Facebook

I forgot to mention this, but there is now a SEMS facebook page. If you don't like it, the hippies win....or lose....or tie. I guess it all depends on your personal view on hippies.

WOW

I just realized that I will receive my 10,000th hit either tomorrow or early Tuesday. For someone with no talent who posts dumb pictures and fake interviews, I can't believe I reached this milestone in basically 5 months.

A humble and sincere Thank You to everyone who has stopped by. And Thank You to everyone that has encouraged me to keep doing whatever it is that I'm doing. I'm not clowning around...

I'm Back...kinda

Sorry for the long delay. School got hectic with snow-related cancellations causing 2 weeks of work to be crammed into one. Then I got a nasty stomach virus that landed me in the ER for 2 liters of fluid to cure my dehydration on Monday. I will try to get back to regular posting here and at Michigansportsguy.com in the coming days.

U of M Recruiting Coverage

I am working on a big U of M recruiting day wrap up that I will post at MSG on Thursday/Friday. National Signing day is Wednesday, and so much can change in the last few days, I don't want to count any chickens before they hatch. For those not familiar with NSD, it's like the college version of free agency, with 10 hours of live ESPNU coverage. Although many players commit before NSD, it's not binding until they sign their letter of intent. College basketball has an early signing period, but football does not.

So to get a rundown of Michigan's next wave of freshman, be on the lookout for it at MSG.

Fantasy Baseball

I am thinking of putting together a fantasy baseball league for friends/readers. It will be free, and at least ten teams.  E-mail me if you are interested, and if you have any preferences in regards to AL/NL Only, categories, site, etc... If I have enough interest, I will start planning a time to hold a life draft.

More Site News

I am still working on the new site, so regular posting will be on hold for a bit longer. A few things happened this weekend that warrant posts, so I will quickly touch on them...

Armando Galaragga was traded to Arizona for two low-ceiling prospects. I hate to see him go, but I touched on this briefly. To get anything for him was a good move.

Green Bay and Pittsburgh will be in the Super Bowl, which is the match-up I was hoping for considering the four teams left. Go Pack. I want the Lions to be able to say they at least beat the Champs. What's that? Rodgers didn't play? Thanks Buzz Killington.

And on to the site news. I have signed on to be a weekly contributor to michigansportsguy.com . I will be writing a weekly feature on the Wolverines once the transition to the new site. Make sure you check it out, and while you are at it, check out the other sites I follow. I wouldn't recommend them if they weren't great.

Movin' On Up

The site will be moving to semichigansports.com in the next few days. I decided to bite the bullet, and keep all the ad money for myself. Nothing should change content wise (sorry to disappoint you), although I have a few new ideas. I know next to nothing about setting up a website, so it will probably take a few days. 

Sorry for my absence

I have been in bed all week with strep throat. I had been planning to finish the Pillaging series this week, and start a similar project next week, but everything is pushed back for awhile.
