Hey guys. I am interviewing Jim Brandstatter tomorrow afternoon and figured there's a ton that I could ask him. I thought I'd enlist your help to get me the best question set possible. I'll pick the best ones besides the ones I've already set aside. Thanks for the help!
Who are you?!

If you...
Jim, if you could be any kind of tree, what kind would you be?
Stop crying! Here, take a tissue.
Should we point instead of fist pump during the Victors?

This was probably going to be asked anyway, but do you have a favorite game that you've called? Or can you at least name some of your favorites?
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get into a land war with Asia. But only slightly less well known is this: never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!
Lions vs Michigan
how is calling a Lions game different than calling a Michigan game, and which does he enjoy more?
I pay for my tattoos
You mean other than getting to say
"Michigan wins!" about twice as many times in his career as the Lions?

Jim's been around
for so long, I'm sure there's plenty to be said not only of how the team itself has evolved, but also the fan base.
What does Jim think of the mobilized online UM community? Does he read MGoBlog?
?
that's more of an
that's more of an interrogation than an interview
Great list!
I'd love to hear the answer to these questions!

Insightful questions
Maybe pose them differently, more tactfully, but it WOULD be interesting if he answers them truthfully.
Those are great questions and
Those are great questions and are also fair.

What was his favorite
What was his favorite Michigan team to watch from the press box ?

french crullers and bear claws as much as glazed donuts?
No sprinkles.
Ask him how he survived 2008
Ask him how he survived 2008 with his teams going 3-25. I was waiting to hear about him having a heart attack that year.
You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.
On that note, a more positive
On that note, a more positive question to ask could be:
Given the 2008 seasons for UM and the Lions, which seemed farther away: playoff birth for the Lions or BCS bowl win for UM?
Well, lets' see here...
...how about:
1. What effect do you think Urban Meyer will have on the rivalry? On recruiting?
2. Michigan exceeded expectations this year by all accounts. How far away is Michigan from being named among those in the national championship hunt?
3. How does Michigan beat Alabama this September?
4. When the pressure is on, do you think about brunettes?
5. Taco Bell or Wendy's?
"Look, our helmets got wings."
Jim, we have seen a lot of

Jim, between you and me, does Patrick Omameh really know where the magic happens or is he just confused?

I've always been interested
I've always been interested in his travel schedule when he calls Michigan and Lions away games on back to back days and how challenging that might be. Who coordinates that for him?
That's a great topic! I
That's a great topic! I heard (or maybe read?) him discuss that once, briefly, and I know he's got some stories of when he almost didn't make it to a Lions game on time.
Jim, is Doug Karsch really

Jim,
why do you think Preachleach thinks your wife, Robbie Timmons is Hot? Do you agree?
From the Red Cedar Message Board: "God hates us." Yes He does Lil Bro, yes he does. Everyone hates you.
Have you ever stood in front
Have you ever stood in front of A mirror naked and said "damn I'm hot" ?

I love all these questions!!!!
Here's mine.....Have you ever met Lloyd Brady?
I'd love to hear behind the scenes stories
It'd be great to hear stories about players and practice. Denard, Brady, Henne, Long, Woodley, Howard, Carter, Woodson, Terrell, Manningham, Wangler, Griese, Henson, etc.
Somehow I don't think he'd say anything, but I'd like more on Carr, and also Miles.
I'd like his take on Tressel and Dantonio.
It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine.
Ask him about his old nickname,
and for his best Larry Grandy story.
Bonus points if you find a
Bonus points if you find a way to drop a "No question, Jim," in response to anything he might say.
