By inappropriate I assume they mean "attempted to have sex with a person they found attractive as soon as possible".  Also know as what 70% of this campus is doing on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

going all Hot Lips on our athletes. Nothing against anyone's chosen forms of sexuality, everything against Brandon as make-believe partner in same. He couldn't just TELL them about it?

  1. Sexuality is not chosen
  2. Your 'Hot Lips' comment made me think of silence of the lambs, where buffalo bill (while applying lipstick and looking in the mirror) says "Would you f*** me?  I'd f*** me, I'd f*** me so hard."

EDIT:  Just picture Dave Brandon doing it on the other side of the computer.  Just do it.  Ya know what?  Don't.  I did it, it's bad.

women's gymnastics team to wear skates and wrestle catfish during stoppage of play at Michigan hockey games.   Brandon claims, "it adds to the WOW factor".

This is quite interesting...

I am very curious how the catfishing occured...

I suppose it is a good idea to do whatever it takes to ensure following policies and avoiding embarassment though....

Bits and pieces rolling in...

It sounds like they had a picture of a female athlete and contacted the players. Some players responded with inappropriate comments. Brandon had a sitdown with them and had the female athlete walk in, which surprised the players. Overall, not a bad way of doing things.

How am I supposed to believe anything out of Dave Brandon's mouth anymore? What if Crisler and Yost weren't actually renovated? What if we're all living a sham!??!??!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!

This is probably not a bad idea.  Many young kids today have an "it can't possibly happen to me" attitude.  Telling kids about how this can happen and actually showing that it can happen TO THEM are two different things.  I kind of like the athletic department being proactive and thinking outside of the box on this.

It's a little bit like the old-fashioned dad who finds his son smoking and then makes him smoke a whole pack of cigarettes at once.  A lot of people, especially young people, have to be burned before they learn a lesson (and sometimes so do I, for that matter).

The part I don't understand is why are people using social media to MEET other people. I get that people use social media like maniacs to communicate with people they already know - it's not for me but I get it, and I love twitter for news and humor - but people try to meet chicks on social media?

Maybe I'm just too much of a visceral dude (or an shallow a-hole), but what good is a girlfriend you can't have sex with or touch her bewbs?

...Rowland:

Can't say I disagree with Rowland. This was a good move by #1000SS.

According to 11W, Brandon provided these comments while taking questions from reporters at the KeyBank Global Leaders Forum in Toledo Friday morning.
