We already knew that Michigan Wolverines Athletic Director Dave Brandon is a dead man walking; just like Head Coach Brady Hoke. Michigan President Mark Schlissel will host a news conference at 130 eastern and it is being widely reported that Dave Brandon will step down. Happy Halloween Michigan Wolverines football fans.
Brandon has been slammed quite a bit from all sides this fall, and deservedly so. Of course, most of what’s said on Twitter is…..well, not really worth anything. However the #ThanksDaveBrandon hashtag is a lot of fun. Here are some of the highlights:
