What one question would you ask Warde Manuel?

Submitted by Macenblu on

I will be at a fundraiser for a hospice organization in upstate NY tomorrow night.  Warde Manuel has been a big supporter of this particular organization for  many years and typically attends the affair.  It is a very informal event with lots of ESPN personalities that guests get to mingle with.  So, assuming he shows up I know that I'll at least get to chat with him for a few moments.  If you could ask him 1 question what would it be?  Best question (as determined by my wacky brain) gets asked.  And yes, I'll plug MGOBLOG's place in the World.  Have fun!

Can we wear color-on-color - blue and red jerseys - for the Michigan vs. Ohio State game?

We do all these fake "throwbacks", but this is an authentic throwback.

Newspaper accounts of the dedication game for Michigan Stadium in 1927 talk about the scarlett Buckeye jerseys in Michigan Stadium.

As recently as the famous Snow Bowl, you can see that Michigan wore its blue home jersey at Columbus.

Can you show me a picture of the new uniforms? Home and away. Sending said picture to my phone would be better actually. And I will definitely delete your number immediately!

Ask him what his thoughts are with regard to night games. I don't think he is against them, but he certainly wasn't overly supportive of them either when he arrived. 

I know he won't answer questions about schedules because the lawyers get involed and until the ink is dry he won't comment.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he retracted this statement a bit from his first blow-up "no night games" comment.

If I remember correctly, he mentioned that he was only referring to the 2016 season as if to say that in the future there will be night games again at the Big House.

His "retraction" may have been mostly due to the high amount of criticism from his comment, but this would be a good example of how Warde is listening to the fans a bit before pulling a Brandon and doing what he wants to do just because he wants it his way. Even if he meant what he said initially, to see him possibly go back on that due to the realiztion that his wishes may not be in the best interest of the school/fans is a major plus. I was really happy to hear him say what he did even if he did intiially mean 100% of what it sounded like (no night games ever).

Is it too much to ask to get the "maize" on the helmets, jerseys, and pants to all match?

BTW, compare all the responses on this thread to what they would have been 2 years ago under Dave Brandon.

Our life has gotten much better.

Will you accept my salary demand of $500,000 per year for two years or $400,000 for three years to be the Michigan Football Vice President of Football Watching Experiences?

home-and-home on the schedule soon? Payback for that beatdown would be personal for me since it would have been the first game I'd have been alive for Michigan

"Can we make it easier to visit the Stadium on non-game days?" I can't generally visit Ann Arbor during football season. I really want to take my kids into the stadium, show them the commemorative brick my Dad and I got together, that kind of thing. I don't have a group suitable for one of those group tours. Find a way to open the Stadium.
