Warde Manual and Brad Bates take the ALS ice bucket challenge
One of these two guys is likely to be named Michigan's Athletic Director in the coming months, so we should probably get to know them. And what better way to gauge someone's personaility than to watch them have ice water poured over their heads?
P.S. Does anyone else think Manual sounds a lot like Jim Brandstater?

Awesome... So our new AD is also going to be painfully slow to react to items trending in social media?
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:34 AM ^
They did these back in August.
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:52 AM ^
I can't tell you how little it would bother me if our new AD is "slow to react to items trending in social media."
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:08 PM ^
That was a poorly constructed attempt at a stab towards DB for how he went radio silent instead of addressing the social media outrage after the whole Morris thing. /runonsentence

WE ONLY TALK ABOUT ATHLETIC DIRECTORS WHO DIRECT ATHLETICS AT MICHIGAN
SO WE SHOULD PROBABLY JUST BE QUIET
WHY AM I YELLING?
FIN

Now this guy, in only two minutes, impressed me way more than Brandon ever has. Well spoken and genuine, you can tell DB is full of shit or trying too hard. Ok, okkkkk.....
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:39 AM ^
How did you react to the ice bucket challenge? No further questions.
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:39 AM ^
Brandon isn't even fired yet....I honestly have a feeling he will not be going anywhere any time soon.
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:45 AM ^
He's gone. John U. Bacon even thinks so. He has no support from the students or alumni anymore, save for a handful of people who make headlines supporting him precisely because they're some of the only people left that support him.

He's one man with a sweet jet and a deep pocket, but he's not the only deep pocket among Michigan alumni.

I would support DB keeping his job, but only if he promised to wear a Noid costume to work (including press conferences) every day.
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:56 AM ^
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:50 AM ^
I think you are overestimating DB. I would be very surprised if he is the athletic director next year.
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:54 AM ^
Would you eat a lemon if DB is still AD in 2015?
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:10 PM ^
Yes. Will you eat one if he's fired/resigns before the end of 2015?
October 3rd, 2014 at 2:36 PM ^
So a little part of me now wants him to stay and be exited in early 2015 so you both have to eat lemons.
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:19 PM ^
Duly noted.

Caffeine-free. Alternate choice: Rock N Rye, I'd love to see what that does to his monogrammed dress shirts.
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:57 AM ^
Make it stop
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:12 PM ^
I'd prefer it if you stopped hurting the university by supporting its failed athletic director. We will succeed and get things back on course in spite of people like you.
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:36 PM ^
Would you prefer I find another team and have a happy life?
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:58 AM ^
PLAYED
OUT

The only possible interpretation of those videos is that Brandon punched Jeremy Gallon in the balls, stole his cloaking device, went to UConn and BC, and dumped buckets of ice water on Manuel and Bates in an attempt to slow down their campaigns for his job. Only one conclusion is reasonable: FIRE BRANDON!
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:57 PM ^
If we hire Warde I can see I will spend his entire tenure correcting the spelling of his name, both first AND last.
October 3rd, 2014 at 2:46 PM ^
Both of them seem more personable than DB. Can't wait for us to have an AD that people like.
