Attending Friday's open practice

Submitted by beevo on

So, I'm taking off work and taking my 11 year old son to Michigan's open practice this Friday.  I was just wondering if any additional MGoBloggers will be there as well.  If so, what time are you arriving?

Able to go for many reasons (the main ones being distance and money), but if I had a son and was able to go, I'd take him, no question about it. 11-year-old me would've loved it...and so would 29-year-old me.

While you are there - whoever is attending - and you have some spare time, please snoop about and see if you can find Greg Sankey or any representative of the SEC chained to the fences in protest of this event. Of course, by the time Friday comes, they will have been there all week and will likely be hungry and unkempt - do the humanitarian thing and offer them a sandwich, or perhaps a clean towel or glass of water. Then, gather the young people nearby around and say, "This, children, is what hypocrisy looks like" so they'll have a clear understanding.

Make sure to impress on your son that none of the players are having any fun on their free trip to florida, and that while he can appreciate the opportunity this time, this is really really bad for these young players to go to florida and play golf and lay on the beach and play a game for a week for free.

I hope to be going. Just a 45 minute or so ride away. May or may not run on the field and demand some snaps at CB. I think it's just crazy enough for Harbaugh to like my enthusiasm, maybe put me in for a play or two.

I wish I could go.  I own a condo about a mile from IMG, but it is booked solid until mid-April.

Go check out Coquina Beach afterwards.  I'm sure you will see a bunch of players there for one last beach day before they head home.

Just got a notification on my phone from a Sarasota newspaper that a Michigan State bus was involved in an accident near IMG campus. I need a sub to read it but it has to be a typo. Anyone hear anything?

In case of a potential Harbaugh interaction I'm going to wear one of my USCENTCOM shirts and ask him to "swap jerseys".  That's legit, right?

Just a heads up.. traffic down here as been nutso lately.  Your timing should be good to avoid the major back up times, but getting on and off the island can be a mess.

I would stick to entering and exiting the beach via Manatee Ave and on the way to IMG taking Manatee to 75th to 53rd to 34th will be the easiest way to get to the gates of Harbaugh

I'll be there with my 4yr old at 4!
