James Franklin apparently has a sour grapes-induced tummy ache over the PBJ sammiches he missed out on at halftime Saturday.

He's demanding the prevention of potential confrontations in the Lloyd Carr Tunnel by having the Big Ten impose a 1 to 2 minute delay between the teams exiting the field at halftime.  

Meanwhile, video of Saturday's little tiff apparently showed Janklin doing nothing but the opposite of peacekeeping, as he instead screamed "choice words" in the direction of the Michigan team and coaches.

"Nice area", as Jim Price would likely say.

I agree about Eustis, I've visited the town several times years ago when my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law lived there.  

My MIL was a Disney World supervisor at Sleeping Beauty's Castle back then. We'd visit and she would always provide us (including our 3 youngsters) free passes into the park.

As MGoUser 'mbrummer' has already posted further down thread, ONLY if the home team gets to take advantage of our home field advantage while the visiting team waits and loses a couple minutes of the valuable time they otherwise would have had in the locker room.

You are telling me things can escalate in a tunnel and not during a game? How are we going to prevent that? What about fans who say crappy things? There is really no way end to this. It is about controlling emotions and focusing on the game. If his players can't control it, it is on him. He wants B1G to do his job rather than doing it himself. He is one of the highest paid and he can't even control his players? How about suspending a player for a game? That will teach his team to listen to his coach 

Anyway, it is a long way of saying, controlling emotions is a big part of playing football. More rules could escalate things in other ways.

Since the home team should have the advantage , the away team can wait on the sideline while the home team enters the locker gets situated gets a orange slice. 

We will have field workers rope off the away team so their sensibilities won't be violated.

Of course the away team can choose to not to wait around, and just do it normally like they have for 100 years. Ball's in your court Frames

He was standing up exhorting the crowd to make noise.  (He's kind of hard to miss).

He was also handing out a bunch of cardboard boxes about the size of boot boxes. I thought maybe it was some kind of recruiting swag but he started pulling boxes of popcorn out of them.  I assume there were some basketball recruits there (but there were a lot of boxes); maybe he was helping with football recruiting too?

Apparently that's the way to get fed at the Big House without either (a) sitting in the suites or (b) missing eight minutes of game action -- you gotta know a guy. 😀

The visitors are closer to the tunnel. Move your ass. 

Maybe if you didn't move like old people fuck, your team might have put up a better fight.

When Michigan traveled to Notre Dame in 1994, the team said they didn’t want to be in the tunnel the same time as the Notre Dame players because of “previous incidents.”  So they waited until ND was on the field to even enter the tunnel.

Of course, when Michigan took the field, Lou Holtz acted like a tool, looked at his watch and complained to an official.  But that’s an easy solution.  If you don’t want a confrontation, just wait a few minutes.  And keep your PB&J’s to yourself.
