[Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] What is the likelihood we return to the final four? How many ladies are back next season? Seeing as how it has taken the program this long to get there the first time, it would seem extremely difficult to make it back so quickly. However, the first time you do something is always the hardest. [Title]

[Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I've been a Michigan fan my whole life and have always lived in the Pacific Northwest. I've never known any other true Michigan fans. The responses of individuals on this blog are starting to make me feel ok about that fact. It seems like quite a few people (and its not just a select few) are really arrogant punks who seek out the opportunity to belittle people. It really has gotten to the point where I avoid reading threads because it drives me nuts. Go ahead, tell me what I spelled wrong. [Title]

[Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] This is almost unwatchable. You'd think Della Valle couldn't wait to sign with UM and actually get a chance to play for a "team" in a system like Beilein's. I haven't seen so many selfish plays in a half of basketball in my life. The coaches are greasy and this reminds me of an AAU game. [Title]

f097a7ca_g_reaper3___mgoblog__Title

[Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Body] There are so many big games that one play would make a huge difference. The 73 tie with OSU, the phantom TD in the Rose Bowl, the Miami Hurricanes onside kick in 88, Colorados Hail Mary, Texas's FG in the Rose Bowl, our onside kick in 2006 against OSU, heck, even the non lateral to Breaston on our crazy last second play against Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl. Then you have so many big hockey games were a goal versus a post would be huge. In basketball, Weber coming down and passing to Rose to nail a 3......maybe a late play in the M 2013 national title game. But my number 1 would be Bo's last game. Take back the holding flag on the fake punt and M likely wins that game to finish 11-1 with a potential share of the National Title. It would have been an awesome end to an awesome career. [Title]

Great question

[Date] 36 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Stoops also had Oklahoma in the National Title game after the 2003, 2004 and 2008 seasons. He lost 21-14 to Saban's LSU squad, 55-19 to Carroll's USC team, and 24-14 to Meyer's Florida team. I would say making the National Title game 4 times is pretty impressive. But even if not, its definitely, out of the ordinary. That may be the most any team made it in the BCS era. [Title]

[Date] 38 weeks 5 days ago [Body] People all thought it was great when Hoke said his goal in college was to try to drink every beer in Podunk Indiana when he was in college.

[Date] 23 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Less commercials (in stadium) [Body]

I think that instead of trying to find ways to shorten the game such as the running clock after 1st downs (or when players go out of bounds), they should instead find a way to make the game shorter for those who are watching it in the stadium. Fans at the stadium aren't watching the commercials that the broadcasts are showing to those at home, so why have them at all? Instead you could make the in-stadium experience like watching a game on a DVR. - Start the in-stadium and tv broadcast at the same time - Every time tv takes a timeout for commercials, don't take that timeout in the stadium and just continue playing - After the commercial break concludes, the tv wouldn't miss any of the action, they would just broadcast the game as if it were being tape delayed slightly by the length of the commercial break. One of the benefits is that it would create a premium for going to the game (and by their rationale, increase attendance since the at home experience would be a moderately diminished product) -- you would truly be witnessing every event live while the tv action may be behind by 5 minutes by the end of the 1st quarter, 10 minutes by half, etc. The networks may not buy it, but it's overdue for them to throw a bone to the people actually at the games.

I went down to the Dominican Republic 2 years ago for a bit of a "beisbol" expedition to see the Caribbean Series and by luck also had the chance to check out the Tigers training center outside of the baseball hotbed town of San Pedro de Macoris. At 6'6" Moya looked like a man among boys out there with left-handed power and a great arm. The coaches down there were really high on him and thought he had the raw tools to make an impact in the majors someday. I've tracked his career a bit since...he was in Lakeland last year, but has some holes in his swing at this point (106k's in 93 games), but he's only 22 at this point, so still plenty to develop. I will say, if you love baseball and are a bit adventurous, a trip to a baseball-crazy country like the Dominican is worth it...you can't go too far on the island without seeing kids playing baseball with whatever they can find even if it's just a stick and bottlecap. It's fantastic! That being said, Lakeland is also great and a must-visit for Tigers fans.

[Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] Benefits of season tickets? [Body]

I'd add that a Jerry Jones money grab is also very short sighted in that it further erodes the benefit of purchasing season tickets. As was outlined a few weeks back when Seat "Donations" were due, many in the fanbase are at a tipping point with the price vs. value in purchasing season tickets when you take per game ticket cost + PSD's into account. If the trend is for more premium games to be played in neutral sites like the Alabama and now Florida games...what is the benefit to me as a season ticket holder? Wouldn't you want to award your most loyal fans with a top notch game that helps to justify the costs they are paying for our seats? It's not like our PSD's go down if we play 1 less home game...in effect it's a per-game increase in prices for us to most likely stay at home and watch Michigan and Florida on tv hundreds of miles away in a soulless pro stadium.

A few interesting/fun facts around that game: - If Minnesota had won that game (and the rest of the season played out as it did), they would have gone to the Rose Bowl by way of a 4 way tie atop the standings (M, OSU, Purdue and Minnesota all would have had 2 losses in conference). The Gophers didn't play OSU and Purdue that year and by way of the fact that they hadn't been to the Rose Bowl the longest, they would have gone. - Although the game was moved to Friday to accommodate the Twins potential ALCS games, the Twins were eliminated earlier in the week in the ALDS, but of course, tv and travel had already been set, so the dome would have been available on Saturday after all. - I believe MVictors had this a few years back, but Bill Martin was so upset that they had to move the game to Friday night that he wrote the Minnesota AD a check for them to build an on-campus stadium.

[Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] 39 = 27? [Body]

This is well said and exactly what I was thinking. Beyond that, OSU needs more money because they have an incredible 39(!) varsity sports compared to Michigan's 27, so OSU needs to rely a lot more heavily on its football (and basketball) ticket revenue to fund the 12 extra sports budgets, scholarships, coaches salaries, etc. This is not a 1:1 correlation and Brandon is just searching for an excuse to raise prices again once another "premium" football season comes along next year with ND, Nebraska and OSU come to town. Regardless, I have resigned myself that college and pro sports are working their way to pricing fans out...it just depends on when the tipping point happens, but it's just dangerous to keep pushing yourself until you find out when you get there.

As it is, we are at the critical mass of bowl games where there are barely enough eligible teams to meet the number of slots. Last year, only 2 schools (Temple and Western Michigan) were bowl eligible, but weren't invited to a game (Western, probably because of their poor attendance figures the previous year as Brian had mentioned). All it would have taken would be for 3 schools to decline an invite based on financial considerations and these ridiculous ticket limits would have been front and center as one bowl would either have to back off on its ticket/hotel guarantees, or force the prospect of folding a few weeks before the game. As Zone Left noted, the real issue is that the power conferences need to take a stand and prior to signing agreements with these games, they need to force a removal of these guarantees. As expansion consolidates more power to a few major conferences, one would think that a greater degree of leverage would follow because the drawing power of Big Ten bowl slot #5 is far greater than most of what the ACC, Big East, etc. can bring to the table.

Guinness only counts people who showed up as spectators (people who bought a ticket and were present in the stadium on the day of the game plus a few other non-ticketed personnel, such as the band). Michigan's attendance counts tickets sold (whether they showed up or not) plus the band, team, concessionnaires, ushers, media, etc. -- essentially everyone who would be present in the stadium. As far as the original number, that figure was what Guinness used to initially certify that the record had been broken and to have the presentation on the field during the game. They were still totalling up final ticket figures at that point, but they knew that a record had been broken, so they felt comfortable announcing it and having a press release that the media picked up on. (Granted, some in the media mis-interpreted the release to be the final attendance count, but it was still a works in progress) EDIT: Beaten by a few minutes...why do I write so much?

Sorry you didn't get the jist of my comment. All I was saying is that from a financial gift standpoint, there's only so much that the university would allow you to earmark your gift for. In this case, Braylon was (correctly or incorrectly) allowed to earmark his funds to the most finite detail, which is what has created this debate. My point was that the university would gladly allow me to make a significant contribution, but there comes a point where goodwill and generosity turns into over-involvement and meddling with the way the organization is run (be it athletics/football or whatever). I think Braylon getting over-involved with the way the coach runs his football team crosses the line by using his number scholarship leverage.

For the record, the endowment for a scholarship is not $500k/year. It's a one time $500k donation that because of the University investing the money and interest on that investment allows the scholarship to continue forever. The problem really lies with the Michigan Athletic Department allowing Braylon to stipulate to such a specific degree who would get his scholarship and essentially giving too much of a voice in the activities of a coach running a football program. Instead, the AD should have allowed the scholarship go to a Wide Receiver (and it could have even gone to a WR of the choosing of his Foundation), but letting him tie it to a specific number goes too far. I'm sure the university wouldn't let me endow a scholarship for the person who resides in my old dorm room and then get upset when the housing office selects someone who I don't deem "worthy" of the honor of residing in the hallowed halls of 5th Hamilton.

The last time I went (around 2004), the Michigan section was behind the endzone in the open part of the horseshoe. Purdue was pretty decent and came in with only 1 loss and I already had tickets, but I approached a scalper by the basketball arena just to see what the market was like and he had a whole fistful of tickets and from "negotiating" with him, it was definitely a buyer's market. Fast-forward to today: both teams aren't as good as they were back then, so, I doubt the game sells out (especially with an early kick time). Worst case you should be able to buy them for face at the box office if you can't negotiate your way in for less.

It's interesting because a number of these shirts have been up for quite some time...and it's not like they're much different than the guys with the stands on the street who have ripped off a number of the designs for their own profit. I wonder if this has more to do with who is selling them and their relationship to the University as opposed to what is being sold. To my knowledge, before buying Moe's, Underground Printing would produce t-shirts angled toward Michigan (like the MGoShirts), but never use any University trademarks. Now that they run Moe's and sell licensed material, the University has more control to threaten UGP with revoking their agreement to sell licensed product like jerseys, hats, etc. Perhaps a lawyer can speak to this more, but unless they go on a major cease and desist binge and shut down the shady push carts, then I think it's a targeted threat at a licensed retailer.

It's a video like this that truly captures the greatness of sport, and the reason why so many of us keep coming back. Yes, sports may occasionally cause us agony and heartbreak, but that moment of euphoria shared with our friends and family, or complete strangers from far and wide is a thing of beauty and will never get old.

FA, you are my hero for bringing up the Polo Grounds. I wish that park was still around because there definitely needs to be a stadium with a small cutout that makes it 485' to center. As for the L.A. Coliseum, they did host a Dodgers exhibition game a few years ago (attended by 115,300 people) in commemoration of the team's 50th Anniversary of their move to the west coast. (Note the giant net in left field to eliminate on the 200+ foot home run).

Mike Stevenson is the consummate professional. When I heard that they were replacing the Oosterbaan astroturf back in '01, I went to him with the outlandish idea that I wanted to see if they could cut me off a piece to use as "carpet" for my dorm room. He was more than accommodating, asking for the desired dimensions we needed and even giving us the '4' from the 40 yard line as part of our piece. Hopefully he has a happy phased-in retirement...and if he needs some turf for a dorm-sized room in his house, he knows who to call.

I'm not saying that as a "how dare you offend me" comment. I'm saying that as a "really?? You're generalizing a community because you disagree with a journalist" comment. Your assessment of our community seems laughable to me. We are proud of our accomplishments, but rest assured, are well aware of our many short comings. Perhaps you are unaware of the awards status our school system just received. We are proud of that. We also acknowledge that we earned this due to slipping in prior years. We are a community that prides ourself on being hard working; not conceited. I would guess where you are from, but don't feel it is right to generalize a whole community based on an unintelligent blog post. While I'm at it. I'll take this opportunity to give credit to a great community in Ithaca. Their gesture for the family of one of our players was truly heart warming. Our fans also created an instant bond with them. It was a great show of small town class and pride.

I began to question him last year. I mean, You keep the Denard offense for Denard, but then see Devin run it better and make him run man ball. Then they fired Borgrs and I thought.... Eh. Maybe. Then the Notre Dane game was brutal I thought.... Oh well, maybe we will actually buckle down and not shrink from the hype of beating an overrated ND in September this year. Then Utah happened.

[Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I have thought about this [Body]

A great deal off and on since year two of Rich Rod. Wether you supported or turned on either/both guys is irrelevant at this point. The point is, that a good portion of our fan base has supported both. They have called for consistency to not "start all over". I'm not saying that I have this all figured out, but I think we can learn from successful teams. When Rodriguez got here, we buried him before he started. I wanted him fired after year two, but even I didn't hate him when he took the job. Then, in year two/three, we had the whole stay/go argument. Now we are here with Hike, and have been since last Fall. My stance is this: The SEC, Texas, USC, and others have teams with short down periods and returns to the top ten because they do not accept losing. One losing season and you're gone. Mac Brown won a national title and was shown the door because 8-4 every year wasn't good enough. I know, "we are too good to be ess eee see". I agree, but our administration is too academic to ever let our institutional integrity fall like that. I'm saying, as a fan base, just vote with your wallet. Stop going, make them see a loss of money and set a win or else mentality.

You have a fan base that won't go away, and suffered through two losing seasons before rich rod was even on the hot seat. The AD is going to give you at least three years no matter what, and you still play 11 or 12 games per year against teams with less talent.

I cannot contain my anger. I have zero expectations. I still will watch the score, and get pissed when we lose, but I'm not putting myself through this. I'll have 3 extra hunting hours on Saturdays I guess. I haven't missed a game since my high school playoff games made me miss them. I will miss at least the next two. Maybe more. It is unbelievable that it has come to this, but sitting in the stadium (down two scores to Utah) and hearing an enthusiastic announcer say the day's attendance was the last straw. This university does not care about football. The only thing that might change that is empty seats and lack of merchandise.

[Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Title] Well [Body]

At the risk if sounding line captain hindsight. I've been right about every pick since I remember following the draft. I thought Rogers was an idiot who would be a waste and was pissed we didn't trek the betters player at that position. He was taken next by Houston-Andre Johnson I was meh on Roy, as I felt we shouldn't be taking another WR, but since Rogers is so terrible, we do still kinda need him. I completely list my shit with the Mike Williams pick. I'm not even gonna elaborate, but it was aweful. I wasn't thrilled with Ernie Simms, but had no issue since we didn't do anything asinine. Calvin Johnson was the pick that was actually a no brainier. I didn't care about our other rec. because they were aweful or gone, and Calvin was the Durant of this draft. That much better than everyone else. I hated Gohsder because we traded down to avoid taking future pro bowlers to pile up picks and get Gohsder. Wtf? Stafford I liked, pettigrew I hated because, who takes a right end with a first round pick when their defense is covered with needs, and yiur franchise qb could really use line help? Apparently us....twice I loved the Suh pick. That one was obvious at the time, but my most hated pick we've made this far was trading up and giving up picks on a deep draft to get.....Jahvid Best. I argued with everyone I know that this was stupid. Guess who's won a lot of beer from those arguments. Fairley I was critical of..... I may be proven wrong here, but I think the fact that any lineman who's played with Suh has been decent....I still say that pick was wasted. I thought the Reif pick was solid, and still do... We shall see. Ansah... Didn't like pick..still don't...see fairley explanation. Ebron??? I think this fits in with how much u hated the Rogers pick, and the Best pick, but with a player who isn't as bad.
