Has anyone heard any rumors on Mel Pearson's interest in the MTU job....
Alumni have already contacted him, just have not heard any items substantiated yet.
I have zero information on this topic but IMO Mel won't be going anywhere. He knows that he is next in-line to the throne at Michigan whenever Coach Berenson decides to call it quits.
That's a possibility as it is for Billy Powers. But I wouldn't put that in stone for either.
....Hunwick, who has already passed Rudy status IMO, would dwarf anything Notre Dame can say...
Terrible analogy, IMHO. Sure, Rudy was a walk on, but he played at the end of an insignificant game. Makes a good story if you are biased to Notre Dame- since you can hype up a few insignifcant plays in an insignifcant game, and inspire people.
Hunwick has done a LOT more than Rudy can ever dream of.
So lets not bring Shawn's status down to Rudy.
As for tomorrow- it's going to be a struggle for me- stunningly, there are no bars around where we are, our hotel does not even have ESPN, and this connection may not support video for ESPN3... But my parents will be at the game, cheering for us. (just remember, this is still just entertainment- knowing that, I know where i am is a LOT more important than the FF- to us.)
I agree that Shawn is far better than Rudy ever was. But try convincing the Domers about that. And if you asked anyone on the street who doesn't have any rooting interest either way they'd most likely still say Rudy because he has a movie. When Shawn wins a NC they have nothing to argue about.
the game is on espn 2 vs North Dakota, and what kind of loser hotel tv system would omit espn??...super ritzy hoighty toighty?
