  • MGoBlue has links to photo galleries and audio from yesterday’s media/fan day.

  • The Free Press also has a photo gallery of their own from media day.
  • The preseason AP Top 25 Poll was released over the weekend, and unlike the USA Today Coaches Poll, Michigan was not ranked. U-M did receive 36 votes, though, which puts them in 32nd for those of you keeping track.
  • Speaking of polls, the preseason BlogPoll will be released sometime this week. I am voting in the BlogPoll for the first time this year and will post my preseason ballot later today.
  • The Big Ten Network will be at Michigan’s practice today and you can actually watch the entire thing tonight at 9 p.m. ET. It’s rare that we ever get a glimpse inside a Michigan practice, so being able to watch an entire practice will be awesome. I’d say The Fort officially no longer exists.
  • Kevin Grady actually was found passed out behind the wheel of his car before being arrested for driving while intoxicated. He’s really lucky no one got hurt as a result of his actions.
  • When fans file into Michigan Stadium on August 30 for the first time since construction on the Big House began, they are in for a surprise. Routines will have to be altered to accommodate the ongoing construction as fans are asked to show up earlier in order to keep the crowd moving.
  • The second edition of MGoBlue’s “Camp Confidential” features Carlos Brown.
  • Prices for hockey tickets have been set.
  • Chad Henne is “being groomed” to be the Dolphins’ future starting QB.
  • Mario Manningham’s injury has put the Giants in a tough spot as they haven’t gotten a good look at his on the field abilities.
  • If you’re looking for a maize and blue truck covered in Michigan logos then check out this auction on eBay.
  • Last October, a college football fan finished a 32-year long quest to watch all 119 I-A teams in person.
  • Nick Willis, a former Michigan indoor track star, qualified for the 1,500 meter final in Beijing.
