Band not going to Alabama game
What's next? Our pets' heads start falling off?
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!

Somebody should start one of those MSA UPetitions or something at Change.org. Would DB listen to a few thousand signatures?

Also, I'm not the boy twirler... Sorry if I disappointed any of you.
A group of internet nerds has never been "disappointed" to learn they were talking to a girl. Terrified, maybe...

We already have WAY too many female MGoMembers. Oh well. Welcome to the blog.

Don't worry... I'll just sit here and look pretty.
OMGHI2U!!!!
I haven't had the opportunity to use that is about ten years... lol
The Michigan difference...
Maybe one of those petitions specific to the University would be helpful? Like this one, for example, when students were upset about Governor Snyder giving the commencement speech last year:
https://www.msa.umich.edu/upetition/p/ReconsiderRickSnyder/
That way students and alumni can use their uniqnames to sign something in order to express their distaste in this matter.
If Ann Arbor is a whore, why didn't you get in?
I'd rather go to this game than a bowl game. anyway if Alabama can bring their band, then we can.

"If I were you Mr Brandon Id go take a look at MGOBLOG right now..You have become very unpopular amongst many alumni and fans..This REEKS of money grubbing..Sometimes is about MORE than the money its about M I C H I G A N and a real Michigan man would KNOW that"
Im really pizzed about this...
I appreciate the conviction but I'd further appreciate grammar.
"It would be a travesty, it would be ridiculous to all of a sudden come back and get the feeling back, get the health back, feel good again and then all of a sudden go throw some other colors on my shirt and go coach."
think those tickets are for sale? that would be even more of a cash grab.

For what it's worth, @amgodd, a reliable source on twitter, tweets from board of regents meeting:

We like you, MSC, and we know Brandon is making you the MAD DOLLAZ, but sooner or later, you're going to have to stand up to him and tell him that Michigan Athletics is MORE than a business. Once in a while, it'll be necessary to take a hit on something.
"This is the EMU game, not the emo game."
That's got nothing to do with this story. It's about some student/diversity protest.
how fucking expensive could it really to be to send 50-100 band members to texas? put em up in a motel 6, 4 to a room and give them taco bell
The thing is, it's actually sending like 300ish people to Texas. It normally takes 6 buses for everyone going on away trips.
THIS IS MICHIGAN. At one point we ranked behind the New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys in net financial 'worth'...the only NCAA institution even close to the top ten in revenue...ONE trip to Dallas isn't going to break any bank, we make enough in concessions, marketing of that little M that Canham made famous long ago, that this is utter stupidity. I could personally care less if the band is there or not and I can say I'm glad things didn't work out for me to attend either. At this rate as much as I thought DB would really straighten out the athletics programs, he's proving to be a corporate turdbomb in some regards.
This whole issue is moronic. HE screwed up giving away a home game, and like greed always does, the loss isn't coming out of HIS pocket, someone else will pay for it, in this regard the band and the fans who want them there. What a joke.
To be clear, his tweets had nothing to do with the band. They were in reference to the movement for tuition equality.
Also I was there and Mary sue wasn't hanging her head and shame, she was being her typical asshole self and ignoring all the public commentary speakers. but that's a completely different story. I have supported db until this but god if this isn't a dick move money grab than nothing is
So Michigan is playing in the #1 non-conference, primetime game of the year. And we will not hear the victors all game? wtf Dave. wtf
How many bake sales and car washes do you think they need to have to afford the trip?
The Michigan fans better sing their hearts out after touchdowns if the MMB doesn't go to Dallas. I hope the band goes, though. I wonder if the demand for tickets has DB wanting to sell those seats.
"I thought tweeting is what birds do in the morning." --Coach Hoke
Complain to Mr. Brandon. I am sure he would really appreciate it. Seriously if you have a twitter go tweet to him and email to him. Make sure he understands that the football program is not his cash cow.
that shi cray
I will fucking cunt punt the next person I hear about doing something like that, and I don't give a fuck if you SOR me, I WILL FUCKING ASSAULT YOU.
Easy now guys, Dave Brandon obviously took this into consideration when HE SCHEDULE THE FUCKING GAME. Can you imagine Denard scoring on a 70 yard running play in the first quarter and The Victors isn't playing? Great way to open the season. Hope you take the money you save and take your family out to a nice dinner at a restaurant the rest of us can't afford, Dave.
P.S. All of your jersey and mascot ideas are stupid and your pizza sucks.
Special Teams means special times!
time to piss Dave Brandon the hell off. Letters. Tweets. Snail mail. Everything.

maybe if they didnt spend so much money putting down turf at elbel they would have had the budget for this..........and i could still play roller hockey there

Not having the band will also seemingly diminish the presence of the Michigan fanbase a lot, I'm guessing. Bama is going to be there in full force and we don't want this to seem like any less of a 'neutral' site than it already is.
If Ann Arbor is a whore, why didn't you get in?
168 posts and nothing from Bando Calrissian? Dammit I want the 5 minutes I spent skimming the posts back.
Maybe Brian would not mind donating some of that HTTV paper to the Help The Band Make it to Dallas fundraiser... No

What to go, Daayyyy-ve!
By the way, has there ever been a football game where the Michigan band didn't travel? Is this a first?
no there are some games they don't travel for. i went to chicago for the northwestern game, and they didn't come. i think that was more about lack of seating, since their stadium isn't very big.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
If you have twitter, please tweet #MMBtoDallas to try to get the topic trending. Thanks!
This is a bunch of horseshit. Fuck this game and venue. Have it at Michigan or in alabama, or don't have it at all.
When the ADept sells special jerseys and gear, you'll see my picture next to the targeted customer crowd. A sheep.....but a Blue one.....




Exactly. What is the point of turning a home game into an away game? At least get a return home game out of it. Or have Alabama come play in Indianapolis next year or sonething like that.
