THE ORIGINAL POST:
A couple weeks ago, I put together a google map with all of the Michigan bars I'm aware of (and also everything from the spreadsheet that bouje has been maintaining.) The map is here.
Hopefully this will prevent the "where's the Michigan bar in Pittsburgh/Fresno/Topeka/wherever" threads that pop up every week, but if your favorite gameday hangout isn't on here, put it in the thread and let me know. I'll do my best to keep the map up to date.

Brandon Wimbush Highlights in Notre Dame Spring Game
Brian Kelly has already named Brandon Wimbush starting QB for Notre Dame. So, barring injury, we will be seeing him against Michigan on September 1. Here's his highlights from last Saturday, in Notre Dame's Spring Game. I know it's just the Spring Game. But he did have some nice throws. Of course, he was not facing Don Brown's defense.

Scrimmage Observations
I had the opportunity to speak with a parent of one of the players who attended the scrimmage. Here were his observations:
-Rashan Gary was limited due to his ass kicking abilities. He is that good.
-Patterson, Peters and McCaffery all were given an opportunity with the one's and all had impressive plays. Peters command is a big positive.
-Tarik Black and DPJ should be the two best WR's at this school since Braylon.
-Oliver Martin doesn't drop balls and his get off at the line of scrimmage is impressive.
-K. Hudson's arms have their own zip code.
-It was fairly striking the speed in which this defense plays with, even compared to last year's team.
-For how good the defense is, the OL looked much improved over last year.
-There is a sense of "pissed off" and "we are going to prove doubters wrong" with this team.
Some of these items have been discussed, but we need all the football talk we can get.
Please get September 1st here quickly! Go Blue.
Quote from Nebraska A.D.
"You've got Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh thinking, 'We better put a little more into that Nebraska game coming up.' And that's the way we want it. They're running a little bit scared right now. And they won't admit it. We'll leave that at that."
Can't wait for this game. One of my best friends is a longtime Husker fan. I brought him with me the last time they played in the big house and plan on bringing him again this year. I'm sure he'll leave disappointed again. Go Blue!
edit: was thinking of 2011 game
