Mario Manningham out for Eastern Michigan?

The Free Press thinks so!

For my part, I doubt this will be the case. After all, Coach Carr hasn't made any sort of official announcement, and The Final Score doesn't appear to have any leads on the situation. Dealing in rumors is a sure way to look like a fool.

It's also hard to believe that a player like Mario, whose mind must be singularly focused on winning the Big Ten title at this point, would deviate from his course and do something that would confound his teammates and coaches. As I said before, there is probably nothing to this rumor -- just another example of negativity about the Wolverines coming from the Detroit media, folks.

Of course, if it is true, not playing on Saturday should give Mario a little more time to hit the books! If anyone knows that studies come first, it's Mr. Manningham!
