One thing to give hope: nothing from any Michigan insiders as of yet. Highly unlikely an offer is made and accepted with no one saying anything at all about it. This, plus the really weird timing/process (to say nothing of the actual decision) means I hold out hope.

Just in case though, couldn't hurt to send Bill Martin an email explaining why this would be a bad thing. Not that he'll care, but I get to pretend I matter.
