IBR interviews UM blogger before upcoming Illini series

In anticipation of Illinois’ series with Michigan this coming weekend up in Ann Arbor, I’ve done a Q&A interview with a blogger from Varsity Blue, a most excellent UM sports blog. 

You can find the Q&A over at Illinois Baseball Report.

Michigan is the defending Big Ten champs but VB will be the first to tell you that they’ve lost more than a few players over the off-season.  So far, they are 18-10 (3-3 in the Big Ten).  Yet, they are still Michigan and it doesn’t help that we are playing on their home turf. 

Update: And yes, I did an interview with Varsity Blue where I give them the scoop on the Illini.

Go Illinois!!

Big Blue to take on the Mets

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to root for Michigan so much.

The Michigan Wolverines are set to play the New York Mets in an exhibition game at Port St Lucie during the pro team’s spring training. 

Michigan, currently ranked in the top 10 in the nation, may have their work cut out for them playing a powerhouse NL team.  However, at that point, the Mets won’t necessarily be playing their A team. 

Go Blue! (?)
