The Scene Of The Crime
Two programming notes.
One: last year I made a jaunt out to New York to preview the team at an event at Metro 53. I predicted that McGuffie would be awesome, Michigan would make the Alamo Bowl, and no one should move to Kazakhstan for four months. For some reason, the NYC Alumni Club would like me to reprise this performance, and I feel I owe them, so it's on again.
Details:
I promise I will be less wrong this year.
Two: The Sporting Blog will be carrying a USA-Mexico Cover It Live with yrs truly, Dan Levy, possibly Orson Swindle, and Grant Wahl's twitter feed. Coverage starts at around 3:45. I don't want to be lonely, so head on over.

Brian, any softball questions you want me to lob to you on Wed?
August 12th, 2009 at 4:52 PM ^
i think slides of four months in kazakhstan versus last year's highlights would be a real toss-up

Speaking of CILs, please PLEASE do not host CILs during football season. Wasn't it proven to be the cause of Michigan losses during basketball season?
August 12th, 2009 at 4:45 PM ^
Hmm interesting. No one had brought this up yet. CILs were really popular last year for football games; some memorable quotes and statements made with fans melting down as the season went along. Perhaps we can try a CIL for the first game of the season and go from there?

Do not tempt the football gods/goddesses!!
August 16th, 2009 at 11:24 PM ^
There's a bigger problem on who will moderate the CiL's. For those of you who haven't, it's a pain in the ass and a real distraction from the game.
I don't think anyone who did it last year would openly volunteer, that is, unless dex is feeling particularly masochistic that day.

but only to heckle you like you were that guy running for mayor of Toledo every time you make a prediction
August 12th, 2009 at 3:27 PM ^
Can we get one of these in Chicago?
August 12th, 2009 at 3:35 PM ^
Will you have hard copies of HTTV available?
BOOM ADVERTISE'D.

I watched last November's OSU game at Metro 53. M fans there seemed in reasonably good spirits; resigned to 3-9 and a loss to Tressel's minions. The mood was more like "Whatever. This too shall pass."
Not a single cry of "Brian promised us the Alamo Bowl!"
No torches or pitchforks.
Have a great time.

free booze at this joint or what?
August 13th, 2009 at 10:25 AM ^
Good man. Glad to know there are other people who prioritize the way I do.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:14 AM ^
NYC and cincy this past week, NYC and NJ next week. If I'm not driving back into the city from NJ at that time, I'll be there. Is there a train that goes from around 42nd and 8th to that part of town? That's a long walk and I'd rather not cab it.

E train from Port Authority (41st/8th) to the 53/Lexington Station.
