HTTV 2020: Belated, But On Comment Count

Brian June 18th, 2020 at 9:31 AM

So: we're going to do it. We pulled the trigger on actually doing this shortly after Michigan announced they'd be bringing players back to campus, and then a spate of positive COVID tests for CFB players spooked us further. This is way behind our usual production schedule. So:

We cannot guarantee you will get your physical copy before the season. Everyone will get an electronic version by mid-July. We think most people will get their copies by mid-August, but the printer could be delayed, the mail might take longer.

I know this sucks. We've added an electronic-only option, which costs the same but does not have shipping costs.

Anyway, on with the show:

THE ONLY MICHIGAN PREVIEW MAGAZINE WITH CRAIG ROSS IS BACK

128 pages, approximately 120 of which are jam-packed with relevant text. No ads, no filler, no stuff we already published. In addition to the usual comprehensive team preview by myself and the usual profile of the schedule by Ace Anbender, et al.--guaranteed to be 50% accurate about who Michigan is playing this year!--are the following feature articles:

[After THE JUMP: this is what's called a teaser]

not what i said, in context.  they showed up with it not something they had to go and 'get'.  also, undoubtedly they were all asymptomatic or had gotten over it.  those are all great outcomes, the best of outcomes, and the more people that ultimately have those outcomes is also great.  we all worry of course that there is no guarantee even with the young that outcome will be achieved, but to have that many having already successfully come through it is great news.

Two practical questions (never ordered before and couldn't find answers after a few minutes of googling):

  • What's the photobomb shirt / what other shirts will be available? The stuff in the store, something else?
  • If I am ordering >1 copy of the book, can I have my copies shipped to multiple destinations?

I’m also ordering for the first time for a delayed Father’s Day present for my dad and am wondering what the difference is between just getting one vs two books. Apologize if I missed that in the description

Been here a long time and have always felt guilty about not ponying up some cash for all the enjoyment I get from this awesome site. Super excited to be in a spot this year to back this!!
