Wow, it's been quite a while since we've done one of these. Not too much is going on right now, however, so it's time for another installment of Bits and Pieces.

This recruiting season is all but over, and virtually zero players of note are still undeclared after that one guy (his name escapes me at the moment) said he was going to a school that wasn't us a few days ago.
So it's time to take a break from recruiting until next February. Unless you're Brian Cook. In which case you probably want to draw up a 2009 Recruiting Board, position-by-position.
That man is amazing. Go check it out right now. I can't even do anything at all to better clarify our needs, wants, hopes, or possible commits than what he's already done.

Michigan Hockey is awesome. Not only are they the top ranked team in the nation, but their entire roster -- old and new, player and coach -- is filled with awesomeness. Case in point:
Head Coach Red Berensen, CCHA Coach of the Year.
Senior Forward Kevin Porter, CCHA Player of the Year.
Freshman Forward Max Pacioretty, CCHA Rookie of the Year.
Not much missing from that list. Best coach, best new player, best old player. A National Championship to cap it all off wouldn't hurt, though.
Catch Michigan's CCHA Semifinals game against Northern Michigan tonight, live from the Joe Louis Arena, at 8pm on FSN Detroit.

This is a very pointless article, as shown by the headline, but there's one sentence at the end that has me a bit intrigued:
The Lions are still short in one critical area in their plan to have a stronger running game. They do not have a short-yardage back.
I've heard from 'experts' such as Todd McShay say that a solid third round pick for Detroit would be none other than Mike Hart. This would be neat.
He wasn't a "short-yardage back" at Michigan, but the way he fights for those extra yards and won't go down would make him a great fit on the roster. We'll see at the end of April when everything shakes down.

Time to get back to the tournament. My bracket took a beating today.
Western Kentucky? Really?
