As a member of Chuck's cadre of UM friends, I see
no reason to question his sanity.  Well, at least
not for his comments above. :-)
 
I like Josh Blackburn, and I believe that Michigan
is capable of winning with him between the pipes.
However, after witnessing four years of the big-
game toughness of Marty Turco, I don't think it's
fair or reasonable to ask or expect the same from
Josh.  He's going to have a fine collegiate career
in Ann Arbor, but at this point I too would put
him in the second tier of the CCHA pack.  Capable
and likeable, but not a superstar.
