Michigan AD pulls an about face on seat cushions
It was just brought to my attention that the athletic department today has changed its policy regarding seat cushions in response to the outcry they received. Outside seat cushions are now ALLOWED in Michigan Stadium.

That's makes a difference. Cushions seems to be allowed at most college stadiums.

Shit yeah. You're welcome Gma and Gpa.....'Merica
The whole banning seat cushions idea was completely ludricrous from the start.
A terrorist device? Nope, worse that could happen with a seat cushion is your ass falls asleep during the game or your over-stimulated girlfriend keeps whacking you with it whenever a big play occurs.
Kudos for Brandon for listening to the Michigan alum and fan base. He could have simply thumbed his nose and kept this absurd rule knowing full well he could still fill the Big House on Saturday. But he listened to the masses, and made the change.
Now, can the Michigan faithful get a campaign going to eliminate all the damn "alternate" jereys available for the Wolverines to wear on game day? There should just be two: home, and away...
I'm thrilled that common sense prevailed here.
It has been so tiresome to see our freedoms, our privacy, our children's financial futures, the lives of our country's soldiers all be thrown out the window in the name of security -- most of which is fabricated fearmongering.
Statistically, you are many times more likely to die driving to work or taking a shower than you are from any sort of "seat cushion event".
Gosh - I hope they don't ban showers.
