My Cool Story Bro
So I was going to the football game today, trying to find a good way to wheel my grandma up to the suites. Along comes a kind man to give directions. It was John Beilein. I was pretty shocked so all I could come up with was a "nice to meet you", but he directed us to where we needed to go. I asked my grandpa if he knew who had just helped us, he responded by saying " I assume he works for the university"; I guess he was right.

Did you go for a hand shake? Did he give you a Hoke-like point in the right direction?
September 16th, 2012 at 12:41 AM ^
Of course I had to get a hand shake in there ! Honestly I can't really remember how epic his pointing may have been.
September 16th, 2012 at 12:47 AM ^
I love to hear that he is down to earth, and a nice guy.
September 16th, 2012 at 2:04 AM ^
Truly Tremendous...

September 16th, 2012 at 12:39 AM ^

pefect guy for the job
September 16th, 2012 at 12:50 AM ^
I've had a few random meeting with coach Beilein as well, and mine have been very similar. He's super nice and very down-to-earth.
September 16th, 2012 at 12:57 AM ^
That's awesome.
I have a similar cool story bro moment in that I ran into Russell Bellomy's parents at the game today.
September 16th, 2012 at 1:13 AM ^
This is actually another cool story, broleo
September 16th, 2012 at 1:23 AM ^
I ran into Jordan Morgan and Jon Horford while tailgating. Cool dudes.
September 16th, 2012 at 1:49 AM ^
I once ran into Jordan Morgan, Darius Morris, and Draymond Green at a concert. I still don't know how to feel about them all together.

Uncle.

I once had to do a project on the competitive aspects of the Men's Basketball Team. It was maybe Beilein's second year there and he gave us about 2 hours of his time for us to ask questions of him about his vision for the program and strategies both on and off the court. He was one of the nicest, most gracious men I've ever met. Michigan's got a real winner with him in every sense of the word. Go Blue.

If he were truly a nice guy, he would have wheeled your grandma there himself.
What a jerk.
September 16th, 2012 at 8:42 AM ^
You're the asshole that misremembered it was his GRANDPA.
September 16th, 2012 at 8:57 AM ^
September 16th, 2012 at 9:06 AM ^
In all fairness, he did start off my saying his grandma was in a wheelchair, but then talked about his grandpa and asked if he knew who Beilien was. I was a little confused myself.
It makes sense, but you have to re-read everything for it to click.
Anyway, it was actually a pretty cool story, bro! Beilien is the man.
September 16th, 2012 at 9:28 AM ^
In all fairness, it was very clearly written.
Also, his name is Beilein.
September 16th, 2012 at 9:36 AM ^
And your original retort about reading comprehension wins the internet for the day.
September 16th, 2012 at 12:12 PM ^
September 16th, 2012 at 9:21 AM ^
In your hurry to criticize me, you forgot your reading comprehension skills.
September 16th, 2012 at 8:35 AM ^
These chance encounters underscore why I am glad people like Beilein and Hoke are in place at Michigan - they seem genuinely personable and are "in the community" like this. Very cool story indeed.
September 16th, 2012 at 8:42 AM ^
September 16th, 2012 at 9:24 AM ^
Very cool story...not to scoreboard your story but Denard lived in my apartment complex this summer and one night he was out with some friends in the parking lot racing a remote control car...I drove by and almost ran over #16's remote control car. It was pretty cool. Then another time Denard was jogging by my wfe who was holding our newborn daughter and he looks over and says "Cute baby." I assumed he was talking about my daughter and not my wife...either way. Cool story

This is actually a cool story. You should edit the title to mention Beilein, so people don't ignore it thinking it's a joke.
