Possibility for Fireworks after Miami (OH) and PSU Games
Not sure fireworks would ever be an "awesome idea" at Michigan Stadium. A not-bad one, sure - but awesome? No.
In any case, some might say Brandon is the sheep for attempting to sterilize the Michigan gameday experience into one you could find at any given NFL stadium.
The fireworks after the Big Chill WERE awesome. Even the players from both teams hung around to watched.
Maybe we can get rid of big scoreboards too, since that's typical of an "NFL gameday."
Everything Dave Brandon does spits in the face of Michigan tradition. His flambouyance and pomp alienate the crowds who populate Michigan stadium.
I know that whenever someone calls the person opposing them a "sheep" that it gives their viewpoint instant credibility
This struck me as odd about the whole thing, although I don't object to the idea of postgame fireworks at all. According to a couple sites I checked, you're still talking about a sunset of around 7:50 PM for September 13th, so the only way it seems to work is if this is a 5:30 PM game or something along those lines. So far, the official start for this game has not yet been announced, I think.
Post-game band performance ends around 7:30. Twenty minutes for fireworks set up. Then you have your 7:50PM start time for fireworks.
I have seen fireworks at a Tiger game right at sunset and it was not as impressive as when it's about 30 minutes after sunset. Maybe this will be a 4 or 4:30 start time. They have started games on the road at that odd of a time.
contest to be at night. It could be part of a halftime show with field level pyrotechnics as the game will likely be either a noon or 3:30 KO. There is also the very real possibility of using fireworks that burst into colored smoke for daylight use.
that we have any business ordering fireworks to display, after what we hope to be a victory, it would be the 1st game against Appa......well, nevermind

The WOW Factor!
Well sign me up for season tickets. Those 70 emails didn't convince me. But fireworks?? for Miami of Ohio?!?!? That man is a genius.
If we're going to make Michigan football into an NFL game with worse athletes, at least sell beer and go all the way.
What time is the start time going to be? 530?
I don't mind it. It's the post-game version of a flyover. Most importantly, it has nothing to do with the game. Don't want to see it? You don't have to stay.
But at least now we can bash the students for not sticking around after the game. /s
There is the University of Miami and Miami University. Why do so many people insist on saying "Miami (OH)" or "Miami of Ohio?"
For the quick ease of letting people know who they're talking about. Do you say The Ohio State University and Pennsylvania State University too? Settle down.
No idea why you got so many downvotes.
But living here in Cincinnati and being surrounded by RedHawk alums ----- I can say they are all annoyed by the "Miami (OH)" moniker. It's "Miami" or "Miami University."
As they all like to say, when their school was founded the region where Miami is now was still controlled by the Spanish. So "the other Miami" should be the one with the 2 letter tag at the end!
thats a "Casino" brand watch
But seriously, what if they lose? Still fireworks?
As much as I like to jump on the "bash-Brandon-Bandwagon" I'm pretty ok with this...
As long as the fireworks are maize and blue.
No scarlett or green ones.
Carry on.
Has it really?
for the MGoIntelligensia to weigh in before bashing?
Goddamn you, Dave.
Don't really care. It's fireworks. This is coming from somebody who hates alternate uniforms and piped in music.
I'm only interested in getting out of there and get home after a night game.
I hear John Mason from the Pistons will be doing the stadium announcing too!
At first, I thought this meant that Brandon was going up into the student section after the games to answer questions.
There's at least thread one thread left on the board where you haven't made a stupid and completely irrelevant comment about player compensation. Better hurry up and get over there before it's too late for you to make an ass of yourself in front of everybody reading it.
