This just in: The color Maize has pulled his verbal commitment to be part of the University of Michigan’s color scheme next year. Maize was reportedly upset that he plays well on the road yet is routinely overshadowed by Blue during home games.

When reached for comment Maize said:

“3-9?! WTF? Does RichRod still think he’s in the Big East? Decommitments everywhere, no respect for tradition! #1 jersey debacle thingy! Shredding records!! He’s never put a big-time color in the league!! Family values!!! OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!1″

The color then ran screaming into the night (presumably to repeatedly refresh Big Will Campbell’s online directory listing in case something changes.)

Having been a big fan of Maize in the past, we at the WLA were surprised to learn he shared a brain with most of the commentors at MLive, The Freep, Scout, Rivals and part of MGoBlog. We’ll make every attempt to keep you updated on this unfolding situation and the continued idiocy of our fanbase well into the New Year.

Also, our programming may be spotty over the next week, but we assume you’ll understand. Even assholes like us have family, and Moms that love us. Well, okay, some of us. If you miss us in the meantime just scan the rooftops, and if you see this:

Feel safe in the knowledge that The WLA is nearby.

PS: To those of you who aren’t idiots, we hope you have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or enjoy whichever holiday you celebrate in whatever parlance would be appropriate to tell you to do so. Except for Pogue. Our political correctness only goes so far, kid- Therefore we refuse to wish you a Happy Tressel’s Kitten-Soul Barbeque in Assless Chaps Day. Just be glad we don’t come after you with the Boomstick.
