MGoBlue announces Signing Day shows
Crazy how big of a production this is now. There used to just be a press conference.
Now there's a whole day of stuff. Pre-show, post-show, presser mixed WTKA's double-digit hour coverage.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- MGoBlue.com, the official website of the University of Michigan Athletic Department, will provide exclusive coverage of National Signing Day on Wednesday, Feb. 4, with two Inside Michigan Football Signing Day shows emanating live from Schembechler Hall. U-M will produce a live two-hour Signing Day Special Webcast from 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. ET, and will also air a one-hour Signing Day Wrap-up Show starting at 3 p.m.
The Inside Michigan Football Signing Day Special, powered by XFINITY, will be hosted by Michigan Athletics reporter Ed Kengerski and former Wolverine tight end Derrick Walker and will be streamed free of charge on MGoBlue.com. The IMF Signing Day Wrap-up will be hosted by Kengerski and Michigan football radio sideline reporter Doug Karsch.
Both shows will include behind-the-scenes access, video-highlight packages and biographical information on U-M's 2015 signees as well as interviews with select Michigan players and coaches. For additional coverage as National Letters of Intent are received, Kengerski will provide live updates every 30 minutes at the top and bottom of the hour until 2 p.m.
Also on Wednesday, Michigan J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Head Football Coach Jim Harbaugh will hold a 2 p.m. press conference to discuss the newest additions to the Wolverine football program. MGoBlue.com will stream the press conference live, and an archive will be available shortly after the event.
In addition to MGoBlue.com, fans can follow Signing Day updates through the Michigan Football official Twitter account (@umichfootball), Facebook page (facebook.com/michiganfball), Instagram account (@umichathletics) and Snapchat account (umichathletics) and join the Signing Day conversation by using hashtag #UMSigningDay.

thought this was going to be about some kind of a capella group extravaganza..

In the early 1960s, your grandparents weren't watching Dick Clark's American Bandstand or Shindig or Hullabaloo. They watched this.
Scroll through the video and look for a familar face (for those of us Medicare Age MGoParents) at about 2:53 . . . and for those who grew up on Sesame Street, there's another recognizable appearance at 6:46 . . . and at 8:56, there's a message for Detroit Red Wings fans.

That's what my nightmares look like.
January 29th, 2015 at 5:25 PM ^
Bigger than that game being played on Sunday.
January 29th, 2015 at 5:26 PM ^
What should I wear WD?
January 29th, 2015 at 5:32 PM ^
They should really have it at Crisler Center with a fax machine in center court... Stands full of students and fans, with cheerleaders and marching bands... all waiting for the printing of the fax machine...
January 29th, 2015 at 5:38 PM ^
I'd go.
January 29th, 2015 at 5:40 PM ^
I'd fly in for that.
January 29th, 2015 at 5:43 PM ^
Haha. I was wondering if this would just be a live stream of a fax machine at Schembechler Hall.
January 29th, 2015 at 5:53 PM ^
You know what would happen, of course. Somewhere in the middle of the letters coming in, someone would pull a fax off the machine and read dramatically, "Jamaica for as low as $99 per adult per night for four nights. Call (800)-213-4567 for more information on this incredible offer......oh......*sound of crinkling paper*"

Yellowing bakalite. Dot matrix.
January 29th, 2015 at 8:52 PM ^
I'm pretty sure that Alabama actually did this years ago, or maybe still does this.
January 29th, 2015 at 8:34 PM ^
that was awesome haha
January 29th, 2015 at 5:34 PM ^
Hopefully we'll be celebrating Weber and Clark committing that day.
January 29th, 2015 at 5:36 PM ^
January 29th, 2015 at 5:39 PM ^
Clark and Weber would be amazing.... Iman Marshall would make everyone a believer that we're going to have a great season immediately regardless of who we play at QB.
January 29th, 2015 at 6:45 PM ^
- waiting. Worst case you have a long, prosperosus career in the real world.
January 29th, 2015 at 5:42 PM ^
January 29th, 2015 at 5:52 PM ^
Gotta be honest. This... is really silly.
January 29th, 2015 at 5:53 PM ^
I'm forecasting I will have a very productive day at work next Wednesday.
January 29th, 2015 at 6:01 PM ^
January 29th, 2015 at 6:02 PM ^
or they'd get "sexy hot babes enjoy time together" faxed from Gerry Hamilton.

I don't think I'll be tuning in for the full SIGNING DAY EXPERIENCE (which would have been totally sponsored by someone if Brandon were still around -- "Five Energy Signing Day Experience at the University of Michigan sponsored by Chobani presents the BW3s Recruitment Chevy Express with Free Text Messaging from AT&T"), however I do love getting those LOI texts throughout the day.
Go blue!
