I don't understand? Concordia Portland asked to be independent?

The Michigan Wolverines have no realistic hope of winning the Big Ten Football title
as long as Coach Urban Meyer remains at Ohio State.  Coach Jim Harbaugh is a good
interim coach for the Wolverines until some else comes along.   Chaplain Yak knows
that and expressed that opinion during the interview during a conference call with
President Patrick Ferry.

Our Doc Yak teaches there. Ask him.

As an update, I just received word that I am approved to be a (full) Professor of Theology at Concordia University in Ann Arbor. We will be moving there in July.  We will miss the students, faculty, and staff at CU-Portland but very much look forward to serving at CU-Ann Arbor.

First, congratulations!


Second, and much more importantly, any truth to the rumor (which I am starting here) that the teaching position is secondary to a new position (Lutheran chaplain, perhaps?) with the Michigan football team?

I can neither confirm nor deny such a rumor.

But I did just buy a week's worth of khakis...
