I was at the osu game last year. Not nearly as many buckeye fans as people think. Somehow, Michigan fans showed up in a big way. We actually stood for every play and it was loud as hell in there.

Other schools could build more seats than us.  It's not like they're all restricted by zoning laws or whatever.  They just aren't confident they can fill them up.  PSU hasn't been able to, for one.  So we can have some measure of pride that we lead the nation in attendance annually.

Good luck to you next season Braxton, because after next year no one will know what happens to you since you won't be shit in the NFL.  Too personal?

Your knowledge all things Michigan continously amazes me. Beyond a doubt.

But you can even give attendance figures for a spring game almost 20 years ago? I guess you could search the googles, but I would be surprised if it would come up with that.

Well done sir, I don't know if your user name was bestowed upon you, but no one deserves it more than yourself.

Hold on a second.....ohio charges admission for a glorified practice? LOL

Priced at $20 and $12. What a bunch of losers.

Meanwhile Michigan's practice is free admission with concession and proceeds from concourse donations going to Mott Children's Hospital.

Ohio State eventually lowered the ticket price from $20 to $5. Oh, and proceeds from all ticket sales supported both the LiFE Sports program and the Boys and Girls Club. These two programs benefit some 700 of Columbus’ underprivileged youth during four weeks in the summer with athletic camps, clinics and two meals a day on Ohio State’s campus.

pop up sports sites? is it really entertaining on any level? its "meh/fluff" rivalry stuff.. I don't even mind what he said. i care more that its getting so much attention. clearly UM doesn't struggle filling the big house for games which is all that matters. a lot about nothing here.

Perhaps Mr Miller would be interested in the minor detail that the Spring Game (etc) fell on the opening weekend of Spring Break for Ann Arbor Public Schools.  I reference this because most of my fellow devoted local fans especially those with kids are elsewhere for a few days recovering from the past 100-year winter.

I also feel like Michigan is purposefully using this as a media tool.  Look rusty/bad/struggle in the spring game?  The media is going to be running with that punch line all summer long.  That gets into other coaches/fanbases/players minds that we are stuck in 30 for 30.  I don't think we really are, wait 4 months for it, but consider being able to play from a "stealth" position of public hype in 2014, vs. a position of great and wonderous land-of-mike-and-honey-type hype in 2013.

Mr Miller also might consider he doesn't have a full senior OL this year, his buddy Mr. Hyde is pursuing other interests thus making Miller the biggest bullseye on the field, and that a certain Mr. Clark might really hurt him if he comes off the end, unblocked, this fall.

Braxton Miller is from Ohio, lives in Ohio, and attends college at Ohio state. If that isn't enough, just consider what the average Michigan Student or alumni (or state resident for that matter) was up to on their "spring game" saturday compared to any Ohio State student, alumni, native. This isn't even friendly jabbing, i mean seriously consider it. You can't argue with stupid, but you can smugly be aware that you are just a better human being.
