This Was Hail To The Victors; Now It's Cheaper

The magazine. I should tell you about the magazine. What with the whole wedding thing I was slightly distracted, but now I am focused on one thing: you purchasing this:

Love the Hoke-pointing inset.

This year's main feature is the price, which is down to a cool $9.99 without a reduction in the amount of content. Other things:

• Some guy named Brian from MGoBlog does the usual extensive preview of the offense, defense, special teams, incoming recruits, and overall zeitgeist of the program.
• Jerry Hinnen, Tom Fornelli, and Ramzy Nasrallah combine to preview Michigan's 2011 schedule. We even managed to make the Ohio State preview relevant.
• Johnny from RBUAS writes about Denard Robinson, prose flowing like dreads.
• Seth Fisher, also known as Misopogon, goes in depth on recruting Ohio. Now more relevant than ever.
• Chris Brown of Smart Football attempts to answer the looming offseason question "Al Borges + Denard Robinson == ???" Article is packed with illuminating graphs and some surprising revelations about Manball, or the lack thereof, in Borges's most recent offense.
• Brian Fremeau of Football Outsiders attempts to answer another looming question about Michigan football: just how good was Michigan's offense last year and how do they become more efficient this year?
• Michael Elkon of Braves and Birds finds out how much improvement Michigan's massive number of returning starters should yield.
• Greg Dooley of MVictors recaps the crash-laden, ridiculously-pantsed 1911 season 100 years on.
• John Kryk asks members of the massively hyped 1981 team what went wrong on a team that seemed to have it all.
• Kryk also goes way back to the days when Nebraska and Notre Dame could not beat down the door of the Big Ten back when it was the Big X.
• Craig Ross evaluates his fandom in the aftermath of the last three tumultuous years.
• And various authors put their reputation, honor, and even their very lives on the line in a roundtable addressing critical questions of the day: how many greater-than symbols should we place next to Greg Mattison's name in relation to GERG's? How large and smoky will the crater in Columbus be? Has Kenny Demens broken out already or is he about to? How wrong do you feel about your fuming hat-stomping in the aftermath of Brady Hoke's hire?

All this and at least six ridiculous captions await you. Shipping now; on newstands in about three weeks.
