Open Practice at the Big House for Students Only
Jim Harbaugh and his submarine will resurface this Saturday night for an open practice. Only current students are invited apparently (MCard needed for entry). Practice is from 7-10PM in the Big House, gates open at 6PM!

I have been starving for football so I can't wait to get a little glimpse of the team!
August 17th, 2015 at 11:26 PM ^
Students only? Bummer, I really needed to get my submarine resurfaced; it's looking rough.
August 17th, 2015 at 11:35 PM ^
Did you shop for it in SE Michigan, by chance? Asking for a friend...
August 18th, 2015 at 2:11 AM ^
Got it down at Tom Raper's, he has everything.
August 17th, 2015 at 11:26 PM ^
That... right there.

To their credit, Ohio State does this. It's a great idea, and I'm glad to see that we are doing it.
You want students to show up at games? Involve them.
Here are some more ideas:
Pick some at random each game to hang out on the sidelines.
Let them on the field pre-game for a certain amount of time to hang out with the players.
Dedicate one of the precious suites to the students. Pick some at random each game to sit in it each quarter. While they are there, "wine them and dine them". Treat them like they matter as much as the rich old alumni.

Saturday night - doors open at 6pm. My guess is they want a rowdy group on hand. Should be fun.
August 18th, 2015 at 11:45 AM ^
Agreed on the timing. It also roughly corresponds to the time of day that they'll be playing Utah Thursday the 3rd. It's also a perfect time for the newer players a bit more experience playing in the Big House both during the day and "under the lights."
GREAT move to help mend fences with the students.

I tried, but failed to embed the tweet, so if someone wants to do so, be my guest haha
August 17th, 2015 at 11:28 PM ^
I can't speak for everyone, but as a student I am PUMPED! Only regret is many people are not back to campus yet, so I'm not sure what attendance will be like.
August 17th, 2015 at 11:32 PM ^
This is my senior year and I can't wait for ths football season!
August 17th, 2015 at 11:33 PM ^
Sameeeeee.
Class of 2016 for the win
August 18th, 2015 at 9:00 AM ^
No one gives a shit about your class in college. That's some bullshit they gas you up with during freshman orientation.
"Class of" pride stops in high school. In college, once you're in...you're in.

You're probably too old to realize this, but adding lots of extra letters (i.e. sameeeeeee) and/or using lame, outdated phrases like "for the win" indicates sarcasm/hyperbole/joking.
Chill out.

I didn't think I was too old to realize anything yet but I was not aware of that. You learn something new every day (that idiom is bullshit but i did learn something new today at least).

Good. It's nice to know that the people in charge now don't need thousands and thousands of unsold tickets to realize they should do something nice for fans occasionally.

depending on how old you are, I'd imagine you'd be fine if they just glance at them like they do during games.
However, they may scan them, in which case I doubt it would work.
August 18th, 2015 at 12:01 AM ^
I was just going to ask the same question. I just graduated last year. I never had them scan my MCard for an actual game, so I'm guessing they wouldn't do it for a practice right?
August 18th, 2015 at 12:30 AM ^
They do scan them at basketball games, so they have the equipment/capacity to do so. But honestly really could go either way.
I will say that if Hackett/Harbaugh's goal is to make this a new student tradition, I wouldn't be surprised if they enforce the student-only stipulation with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.

When I saw this tweet last night, admittedly my first thoughts involved finding ways to make myself look more like my 20-year old MCard photo, but I would have to lose another 15 pounds, spike my hair and try to remember which Salvation Army came into possession of the Hawaiian shirt I wore for that photo.
That being said, this is a pretty cool idea though - hopefully we get some good observations from those on the board who will get their chance to be "embedded reporters" in Michigan Stadium.

Then:
Now?

Must enroll now, must enroll now, must enroll now, must enroll now...what would WD do, what would WD do????

I think the submarine comes with a periscope.

That's why we need someone we can trust. Someone who's reported before. Someone who knows the players. Someone with his own t-shirt.
Heiko. Come home.
