Wherever it is hopefully they don’t take espn with them so everyone can continue to laugh at Michigan.

I like that you call it a vacation because that's exactly what it is.  The practices held over there are a joke and complete waste of practice time.

I know it's cool for guys to experience this and all but I do not like the spring distraction and I can't believe those practices are anywhere near as serious as other spring ball practices.  

Now get off my lawn

I have a good friend who is also a Michigan alum and for some reason, these football team trips make him crazy.  It's just not right for some reason.  Maybe it's not macho or something.  I can never get him to give me a real explanation of why he is so against the trips.

I've explained that college football players have a 365 day a year schedule.  Because of that, they can't go on a semester abroad.  By the way, Michigan has been expanding its capacity to provide semester abroad experiences.  Even Engineering offers these experiences now.  So, by doing these trips, the players get a taste of what a semester abroad would be like, they get to learn about the world and other cultures, and they get to do some team bonding away from the game.  That's all good.  It's also funded by independent donations.

Its obviously designed as a troll question, but even full time NFL players go on vacation in the offseason. Of all the things to complain about .. this seems to be the silliest.

How dare young people enjoy themselves at all over the course of a year when they haven’t even won a championship. They need to be as bitter and miserable as the loser assholes on sports message boards.

I saw the title and thought you were asking me personally. I'm headed to Florida for my son's baseball team's spring training and then to LA a month later for my daughter's college trips. I'll be an empty nester soon, which means more freedom for trips to AA for games. Woo!

Well I'm going to Italy this spring. I was in Paris and Normandy in 2018 so I think the team is following my plans. I'm thinking either Ireland or Germany in 2021 but don't tell Harbaugh.

I don't know about the team but I'm going to La Quinta, California for a few weeks.  Looking at houses while I'm out there as well.  Soon as my daughter graduates college, I'm Cali bound.  Warm weather and golf is what I've prescribed myself

We will be camping in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. It's a pretty large space-59,000 acres so "Y'all come!".  BTW, like many things out here, except for the heat and the wind, "Mountains" is an exaggeration. (The provincial thinking and ignorance is not an exaggeration either.)
