Warde Manuel, We Hardly Knew Thee

Man, Michigan folks are melting down right now at the recent news that their NCAA Championship basketball coach is leaving to take over the NBA.s Dallas Mavericks.

Feels like the U-M is becoming a stepping stone. I thought they were a “Blue Blood”, no? Hmmm.

Anyway, the few more interesting aspects of the furor over losing May is interesting…first, there’s the rumor mill, that says May is leaving to evade tampering charges (does that even really happen?).

Then there’s more logical explanations, which actually make more sense to me:

And then, the Geniuses let their anger be known:

Ah, Warde Manuel. Or, A Lewd Manure, as I liked to call him by his anagram, or better known as the head of the first expanded CFP Committee who continued to piss off the entire country through the 2024 season with convoluted rankings systems, “quality losses”, and a clear preference to award the B1G over the SEC as much as he could. Once championed by his own conference as the man who advocated for the B1G and succeeded in getting Ohio State in and through to a National Title, is now being targeted to be ousted from Michigan.

Not that it would be without cause. Let’s face it, from the 2023 Michigan National Championship forward, it’s not like Michigan has been looking great in the news. Cheating scandals, sign stealing, domestic violence and kidnapping, and that’s just from the football head coaches. Never mind a potential tampering scandal for basketball…what in the world is going on in Ann Arbor…and why, oh why, would anyone plop Manuel up to be the head of the CFP Committee, ever?

Maybe they knew all this, and they had the goods to put him under duress to get what the big donors up north wanted?

Who knows…but it should be a bad look, maybe for all involved, but it definitely continues to add more asterisks to nattys than fake nattys claimed by the Barners of east Alabama. Maybe the Texas Techs, Auburns, and Michigans of the world need to form their own conference where anything goes, and no one is a real winner at the end of the season’s conference championship.

Call it the Terry Bowden Invitational, and I might even watch.

  1. “Maybe the Texas Tech, Auburns and Michigans of the world need to form their own conference where everything goes.” Absolutely perfect idea!! Correction needed, > and no one is a real loser (in their minds only) at the end of the season and they all can claim championships.
    Great choice for the conference invitational. You picked the greatest name for their invitational, sponsored by Buster Brown shoes and Tommy Tubervilles political campaign office.

  2. Michigan and Michigan State are just mired in one scandal after another, it seems. The theory that May got out of town to beat that posse headed his way is a fairly sound one, it seems.
