Tough times at Michigan, Notre Dame - how about a merger?
By AnnArbor.com Staff
Jason Gay at the Wall Street Journal has an idea. With the college football world askew because neither the Michigan football team nor Notre Dame are ranked, something needs to be done, Gay writes today. His plan: A merger to create the Notre Michigan Irish Wolverines.

Hilarious and pathetic. How much lower can two storied programs get? Stay tuned. The bottom hasn't been reached.

Irish Wolverines? A new endangered species, perhaps?

a2d2, AMEN!!! That would probably be the worse defense in college. Kiper and Mcshay don't even have 1 sr or jr on ND's defense rated in the top 5 rounds of the next 2 drafts. Aside from Graham and Warren there isn't any other canidate for UM. How sad.....The offense would be amusing....rotating tate and clausen and the spread and pro style.

The media just keeps getting worse and worse. Apparently the quality of professional journalist have greatly declined or they have all been influenced by the joke called the Detroit Free Press

Wow! We'd have a Really Bad Defense then, wouldn't we? And by the way, could Tate and Claussen get along, or would we adopt the "Pro Style Spread"?. If you don't laugh, you'll cry.......

I see the WSJ has gone the way of much of the rest of mainstream media... published idiocy.

What a stupid article. At best, it's a lame attempt at humor that is below the usual caliber of articles in the WSJ.

Nobody in Michigan wants the Pope dictating how our life should be. The Catholics struggle with everything and then turn into hypocrits.
