Let's start with where I began the new year, in Jacksonville, Florida for the Gator Bowl.
It was nice to leave the snow and cold of Michigan for a few days!
But then the real work began. A Michigan alumni group threw a huge pep rally in downtown. It was pretty cool to see how many Michigan fans came out to support the team.
My favorite photo from the trip.
The two sides of Rich Rod, the hopeful and then the reality of it all. Shortly after Michigan's 52-14 spanking at the Gator Bowl the head coach was let go.
Speaking of coaches, meet Michigan's new one, Brady Hoke.
Coincidentally, I covered Hoke while working at the Star Press as he was the head coach of Ball State's football team. Look at all the media!
Current BSU head coach Stan Parrish and Hoke's daughter Kelly chat after a press conference.
Let's change sports and move on to Michigan basketball. A couple of action shots from a game last weekend.
And a cute moment between sisters as they wait for high fives from the team after the game.
What goes perfect with football and basketball? Beer! But I don't have any photos of beer, so photos of cars will have to do. This past Monday was the press preview for the North American International Auto Show at the Cobo Center in Detroit. (It's been a manly few weeks!)
If a press preview promises anything it's media.
And I mean A LOT of media! From all over! I heard people speaking Italian, German, Japanese, French you name it!
I think I'll end this marathon of a post with a beauty shot of the Ren Cen in downtown Detroit. It's been a busy few weeks and I can't wait to see what's up next!
