Detroit Pistons to hold open practice at Crisler
I just received an email from the basketball staff saying the Detroit Pistons will have an open practice on Saturday, September 29. Doors open at 11:00 am with practice running from 12:00-2:00pm.
Having GRIII as a Piston is paying off. If I was a kid I'd be begging my parents, neighbors...anyone to take me to this.
No word, but I'm assuming it is free.

I doubt GRIII has anything to do with this, was definitely the higher ups communicating and setting it up
September 12th, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
Wait, I thought Beilein turned them down?
September 12th, 2018 at 11:04 PM ^
Beilein is shadow coaching the Pistons.
Heart procedure a ruse to cover up secret practices. Confirmed by the fact JB wouldn't show Harbaugh his scar.

Yo! Why can't we sign into our accounts on ios??
September 12th, 2018 at 10:51 PM ^
Who on earth is gonna go to that? It's a football Saturday.
September 12th, 2018 at 10:54 PM ^
Northwestern is a 3:30 pm start. Plenty of time.
September 12th, 2018 at 10:57 PM ^
Link?
September 12th, 2018 at 11:18 PM ^
Per whom?
September 12th, 2018 at 11:41 PM ^
Maybe he's from 5 or 11 days in the future.
September 13th, 2018 at 1:26 AM ^
More likely Putingrad got the "info" by having his hackers do their thing on the Northwestern athletic department's computers.
September 13th, 2018 at 8:29 AM ^
I thought I saw it on here, but maybe I was confusing the Nebraska game.
Sorry.
September 12th, 2018 at 11:10 PM ^
Thanks for the heads up WD. I signed up to work the event totally forgetting I'll be in Evanston for my once a year road game. I'll go back and make myself unavailable.
September 12th, 2018 at 11:57 PM ^
Have fun, that (or Notre Dame) was on my list this year... work interfering this season.
Did Rutgers then Maryland, then Iowa, then Wisconsin. Was hoping to make to Chicago this year, sigh.
I'll just save my money for a good bowl game!!!

Hi Scanner! Just now seeing you on here for the first time in a few weeks (probably largely because I've been spending a lot less time on the MGoBoard over the last couple months), wondering what section of The Big House you're working. Are you at the gates or at a ramp going into Michigan Stadium?
Anyway, I'll try to find you Saturday, I'll have my sidekick (my 9-yr-old superfan granddaughter) with me, planning on following the MMB with her as they march to the stadium and then getting to our seats in time to watch some of the pregame warmups.

Hey Scanner Blue!
Still up for meeting you and thanking you for delivering the posters. They are fantastic.
I won't be in AA until the Maryland game, but I will be around for Northwestern!

To JWG and rob f I am at Gate 10 a few chutes west of the large granite M. RobF --I won't be there this Saturday, will be the first game I've missed in 6 yrs due to a wedding up in Suttons Bay. On the bright side I'm stopping in at Xtra Melanin's farm (ranch?) between his brood's morning chores and church, looking forward to it. As to my diminished posting history...let's just say I was vacationing in Bolivia for awhile for posting when I should have stopped drinking and gone to bed. Luckily having friends in high places (Seth) , has me reinstated with no visible effects (i.e. -990,000pts).
September 13th, 2018 at 9:25 AM ^
I had no idea that you were on a trip to Bolivia, it must have been quite spectacular, hopefully your trip to the XM Ranch is even more spectacular. But welcome back from your exile.
Sorry you can't be there this Saturday, I'll look for you next week for the Nebraska game. We're in section 36, so your gate is pretty much right behind our section.
As for the Northwestern game, I had figured on going to Evanston for the umpteenth time until my niece decided to have her wedding that Saturday. So much for those plans...
Football season Saturday weddings should be outlawed!
September 12th, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
Perhaps the Pistons should hold open tryouts.
September 13th, 2018 at 8:27 AM ^
Why? Do they also need a left tackle?
September 13th, 2018 at 3:19 AM ^
Wow, UM Hoops gets scooped for the 100th time by anonymous poster here. The cautious stodginess of that site has really hampered its growth.
September 13th, 2018 at 8:54 AM ^
It should be free to go to Piston games, so I assume the practice is free as well.
