    Apparently they got enough backlash. Haven't seen the new one

    That's...a pretty fucking good front, I think? References the Fab Five & he coached five seasons. It's a little harsh, but fuck it, they went Elite Eight-Sweet 16-missed tourney-won eight games, all while Howard was getting into hot water for his temper. Hard to argue it was anything other than a failure.

    Yeah that’s a great page and you’ve even got him holding up 5 to head nod at Fab 5.

    If design desks still largely existed I’d want the kid that did that on mine

    That’s a great page. Kerfuffle reminds me of Kevin Durant and that Oklahoma paper.

    Agree, that's a really good cover.

    It's the Wednesday edition. But it says "SPORTSMONDAY"????

    That’s… not great. Unless they have some sort of odd situation I’m unaware of.

    Most likely no copy editors, as is usually the case these days.

    The tweet said "This week's front cover:"

    I assume The Michigan Daily is not a weekly.

    But the firing was last Friday.

    Juwan Howard is apparently still a sacred cow in a large part of the Michigan Man biosphere. Even though these kid's moms were still playing with Barbies when the saggy shorts came in vogue.

    It seems to be Wednesdaily.


    Michigan winning the National Championship was published on a Wednesday.
