Weekend Roundup, Down by the River Edition: 9/10/12

​Here's what happened around the internets over the weekend while you bought porn instead of ice cream...

• ​I have always had an affinity for what Kramer would call "a big, juicy van."  I never understood why Jerry didn't want to keep it.  Someday I will have a new conversion van....someday.  And I will live in it, down by the river.  And it will likely look something like these.

• ​Fear not football fans, we are also overrated in basketball! [ UMHoops - Michigan preseason #3 in Lindy's, #6 in Athlon ]
• We got our asses kicked, and everybody was watching.  [ AnnArbor.com - 7.9 million viewers tuned in to watch Alabama beat Michigan 41-14 in Texas ]​
• For anyone that hasn't attended a basketball game in a domed football stadium...like they force you to do at a final four...let me tell you, it sucks.  It sucks to watch, and apparently it sucks to play, in such a cavernous venue.  Well, ticket availability be damned....they're thinking about moving it to an arena in the future.

• What did we learn in week 2?  Nothing new.  The Big Ten sucks, and has for the better part of 10 years.  You say Spartans or bust?  I say bust.  [ ESPN - What We Learned in Week 2 ]​
• A brief history of Rich Rod and Michigan Football over the last five or six seasons...​ [ Grantland - The Michigan Man ]
