In the spirit of Christmas, this is what players, coaches, teams, and organizations will be wishing for under their Christmas tree.
- Another year for Michigan’s Rich Rodriguez so he can finally get some progress going in Ann Arbor. But they still won’t call off the dogs.
- For Greg Robinson, another job where he can run his own scheme and not have one forced upon him where he couldn’t succeed.
- For Jim Leyland, another bat in the lineup that can go for .280, 20 homers and 80 RBI’s. Also another starter that can win 10-15 games and eat some innings. Brad Penny anyone?
- For Joe Dumars, a new owner so he can take the handcuffs off and rebuild the Pistons as well as Jared Sullinger
- For the Detroit Lions, a referee that can interpret the rules properly.
- For North Carolina’s Butch Davis, a wish for the NCAA to stop digging up more allegations against his program.
- For Tom Izzo and Michigan State, a win against an elite, top level opponent.
- For John Beilein and Michigan, a win over Michigan State and to truly close the gap on the Spartans.
- For Houston Cougars basketball, a return to their glory years.
- For John Pelphrey, another year so he can see his best recruiting class pay off.
- For Virginia Tech basketball, an NCAA bid.
- For the Detroit Red Wings, an injury free season.
- For the San Jose Sharks, to breakthrough and win a Stanley Cup
- For the Miami Heat, a strong bench to complement Miami Thrice
- For Carmelo Anthony, a home in New York City
- For the New York Yankees, another top shelf pitcher
