A Staff You Know And Trust
From before breaking Jim Harbaugh’s hiring to now and beyond, longtime insider Chris Balas has established himself as a voice U-M fans want to hear. John Borton has been on the beat since Gary Moeller was head football coach (and has the sweaters to prove it), EJ Holland covers football recruiting with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind, plus Clayton Sayfie and Anthony Broome are emerging talents in the market.
We also boast a roster of experts and contributors Michigan fans know and love, from former All-Big Ten offensive lineman and The Fort favorite Doug Skene to football radio play-by-play commentator Doug Karsch, among others. TheWolverine.com will continue to supplement our core staff with hard-working individuals.
