Alternate Cover Art for ENDZONE
I wanted to do something to thank Brian and co. for all the work they put in the entertain us in the summer drudgery, but I didn't want to spend more than, like, 90 minutes tops on it(you're the best guys ;-D). I realized the upcoming release of ENDZONE would be the perfect opportunity.
Since John U, Bacon so stubbornly refused to retitle his book to the more appropriate title, here is an alternate image you can slap under a dust jacket.
...and for those of you that like your humor just a little bit more on the nose, here is an alternate alternate cover.
Thanks for all the work guys. Enjoy.
(What would be REALLY funny is if someone got Prof. Bacon to sign one of these.)

Made me think Brandon is the "doge" of CEOs.

Pretty sure Brandon would have all of the M's in that title to be replaced with Block M's no matter how out of place they look. A la:

I don't prefer that style, but basketball had done the block M + "ichigan" combo in 1989, well before Brandon got his hands on the AD job.
I wouldn't be surprised to see older versions on baseball and softball uniforms either.

Right, but these have heritage:
Versus something which is shoe horning a block M for the sake of branding.

Seems like an improper retail activation if I've ever seen one. Let me tell you.
August 31st, 2015 at 2:57 PM ^
When you properly activate a koala, do they say "Hello World" or "G'Day Mate"?
August 31st, 2015 at 6:01 PM ^
We say "Hello World!", but it's in Koalanese so it sounds more like ARhghhhnuvkhuvk!!!

This is lovely
Go Blue!

You forgot the curly fries.

Professor Bacon is going to be doing signings at Literati tomorrow at 7PM.
There's no reason why you *couldn't* print this off on appropriately sized/glossy paper (look to Kinkos for help; Amazon lists the dimensions of the book as "6.5 x 1.6 x 9.4 inches".

If we're going with the "Legendary athletic director moved Michigan forward" shtick, shouldn't that quote at the bottom be a little different? Shouldn't it be, like, a quote from another CEO talking about brand maximalization?

"When I said 'When you innovate, you've got to be prepared for everyone telling you you're nuts', I admittedly was not thinking about people like Dave Brandon who are in fact nuts." - Larry Ellison
You could have a lot of fun with this concept actually, even incorporating actual quotes and CEOs struggling to understand Brandon.

Guys...
I said 90 minutes tops.
August 31st, 2015 at 2:52 PM ^
I think a non-sarcastic version would be better.

Only thing missing is the Forward section with some choice words from Lochdogg:
