DB is gone and the future is full of possibilities. Let’s make sure everyone turns out tomorrow and shows support for the team. If you have unused tickets make sure someone gets them that is going to use them. If you don’t have tickets head on down to the game and find some. Go Blue!

Can we talk about the actual game tomorrow? I mean, we only get 12 of these puppies a year (13 if were lucky). I for one am excited for the game. Seems winnable. Can talk shit to my little bro (current IU student) and can possibly wipe away the stink of defeat.

We "only get twelve of these puppies a year."  Meanwhile, the firing of David Brandon is a once in a lifetime event.  This is like the "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" moment from the Wizard of Oz.  

Today is a day of celebration.  The game will be discussed plenty this weekend.

due to living some 1200 miles from Ann Arbor.  So take this request FWIW:

For anyone for whom attending would not be crippling from a financial or temporal standpoint,please do what you can to attend.  Now is the time for the collective fanbase to put its money (and time) where its mouth has been for the last two months.  Yes, the coaches still patrol the sidelines, but I can think of no better way to show that the invective was directed at the administration, not the players, than to pack Michigan Stadium tomorrow.  Wear maize, get there early, watch the pre-game, sing the Victors at the top of your lungs, and be loud as hell.

I have to believe the players themselves would take some inspiration from seeing a nearly-full stadium (especially the student section) during pre-game.  Whether that inspiration will be enough to counter the (in)effectiveness of the coaching staff is uncertain, but it's got to be better than a tent stake.

I also have a request for Mr. Hackett (who I'm certain has plenty of time to read the blog this afternoon):  This strikes me as the perfect moment to kill the rawk music.  Kill it dead.  Do it tomorrow.  I'm sure you've been attending Michigan games for decades, and you must know how much it changes the experience. If you do nothing else in your interim tenure, this act alone would stake your claim as one of the greatest ADs in history.  (That last sentence is /s, but only slightly).

"Brandon Fired" so there is no confusion on what the students are chanting.  How about a "We love Schissel" chant to pour salt on the pizza boy also.

I'll now go to the Northwestern game since I'm local to Chicago. I just purchased two tickets on the 106 sideline for $49 each.

Get other tickets while they're available.

I'm now looking forward to this game just to see what, if anything, happens. Is it a celebratory mood and if the team still sucks...how does that affect everything?
