Football:

• Miller is moving to Michigan this week — The Wolverine — Miller, who had originally planned to attend Ann Arbor Huron, will come play for the good guys at Ann Arbor Pioneer (I’m biased here, as a proud Pioneer alum). This sets up a very interesting matchup in week one between Miller’s Pioneers and Devin Gardner’s Inkster squad.
• U-M’s Stevie Brown out to prove himself — whatever the position — Detroit News — For the first time in his career, there isn’t a ton of hype around Brown coming out of Spring ball. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles playing the safety/linebacker hybrid spot.
• Hard to get excited about UConn for University of Michigan’s 2010 season opener — AnnArbor.com — I haven’t thrown my two cents in on this, so here goes: I have no idea why it took the athletic department this long to get around to scheduling an opponent, and given the lack of options (almost every BCS team had their schedule set) it’s tough to complain about playing UConn. No, I’m not really excited about it, but you play the hand you’re dealt, and Michigan didn’t have a lot of choices at the time they tried to schedule the game.
• Big Ten Media Days, The Take Away on Michigan Football: Part V — Rich Rodriguez — Maize n Brew — No wonder it took so long for Dave to put this one together — he churns out a TON of content from RichRod’s appearance at the Big Ten Media Days. I can’t even begin to summarize, so just head over and enjoy.

Basketball:

• Michigan basketball to play Creighton in first round of Old Spice Classic — AnnArbor.com — Again with the headlines. Further details: Michigan will play the winner/loser of the Xavier-Marquette game. Creighton should be a tough matchup, with the Jays returning seven of their top eight scorers from a team that went 27-8 in 2008-09.
• Dick Vitale: Preseason Top 40 — ESPN.com — Dickie V has Michigan at No. 11 in his preseason rankings. I’m getting a little worried about all the hype … Michigan basketball has trained me to prepare myself for a letdown far in advance. However, I trust John Beilein to both handle the hype and live up to it.
