Michigan football on 60 minutes open thread

WOW EXPERIENCE

My sport management class is currently discussing the business of college sports. Interesting story

Damn that Towson coach is pissed

This is a really good feature on how football brings the big bucks to college programs

At least our fans (except the students) show up better than SEC SEC SEC schools against baby seals

Fergodsakes reference.

This is Michigan fer Godsakes!

FERGODSAKES!!!

THIS IS MICHIGAN FERGODSAKESSSSSSS!!!!!!! 

Denard :)

Ice baths!!!

Came across as the right look and feel of a solid program. Happy with it for sure.

That was a great piece. You couldn't of bought that advertisment for a million dollars.Brady and Brandon making Michigan fans out of everyone.

What a great spotlight for the program and university, Brandon probably set it up so we have to give him credit, albeit begrudgingly.  

This was tremendous. Showed the superiority of our program while demonstrating how down to earth our leadership is. This will pay dividends. Good stuff Dave

Has more story you can get online at their website....sponsored by Pfizer.

That was awesome for Michigan. Beat Ohio!

So...I missed it, because my DVR recording of 60 Minutes ended before our segment aired...thanks, NFL game.  Any chance CBS will post this on their website?

Brandon, Hoke & DR treated very well. Downside: Hoke didn't point at the camera or say Boo Boo.

Well that highlighted a lot of the very real concerns with "amateur" athletics without being a hatchet job.  Color me pleasently surprised.

Suck it freep -- that was awesoMe!!!

...is that Mike Wallace, the gentleman who created 60 Minutes, is a Michigan alum. I wonder if the current producers remembered that when the decided to pick out a school for this segment.

He also donated a house to the post-graduate Journalism Fellowship that operates on the edge of campus. I used to do contract IT work there, and I had the chance to meet Mr. Wallace while clad in my orange Hawaiian shirt and jeans, shortly after I'd been falsely accused of robbing the Union.

You know who wasn't featured on 60 Minutes?  That's right, Ohio State.

 

BEAT OHIO!

Twin city socks cameo in the ice tub!

I wasn't able to watch tonight, but reading through this thread reminded me of a broken play that Denard turns to gold.

"No...no...no....NONONONONO....wait......yes....Yes...OMGYESYESYES"

I'm happy to see most people thought it was good. 

I cringed when Denard agreed with the reporter's leading question that football is 24hrs a day. 

I can imagine the Free Press filing for an investigation with the NCAA.

and of course valenti chimes in and gets PWN'ed in the process. 

 

RT @mikevalenti971: UM football bring in $90M Denard seas 0 of it -> yeah the but the UM degree helps him know it should be SEES

I hope they give us more from the cutting room floor down the road. Really good for Michigan
