2 weeks 22 hours ago	Stubhub	For the first game, there will be ample supply on stubhub. You should be able to get tickets at less than face value if you wait until a day or two before the game to purchase them.
2 weeks 3 days ago	Devin	More and more impressed with him the more I see/hear.  Clearly has strong leadership skills.  Great head on his shoulders.  Humble.  An excellent communicator.  If the offensive line can hold their own, we're going to score a lot of points.
3 weeks 3 days ago	This one time,	I walked past Lloyd Brady. He nodded at me.
3 weeks 4 days ago	Muffet	That is a tremendous name.
3 weeks 4 days ago	ND Women's Hoops Coach Income	I don't follow women's hoops, so I have no point of reference, but $1,144,000 seems very high for a women's basketball coach.  Yes?  No? I'm also 50/50 on whether Caris is sleeping or checking out his phone.  I used to work with someone who regularly fell asleep at his desk.  I called him out on it a few times, and the response was always the same..."I wasn't sleeping.  I was looking at my phone."   His best "sleeping at the desk" position was when he fell asleep and the only thing keeping him upright in his chair was that he had his teeth balanced on the top of a water bottle.  (yes, I do have a picture of it)
4 weeks 14 hours ago	Pictures...	...or it didn't happen! Congrats!  Hope they are out of the NICU and in to your home quickly and safely!
4 weeks 4 days ago	Your dad...	...is correct. Dave and Chuck will probably deliver somewhat similar ratings...at a fraction of D & M's salaries.  Lower cost = increased profit margin.
5 weeks 4 days ago	Vet bills...	...are crazy.  It cost us $1,500 to put our cat to sleep. I've advised both of my kids to become a vet. -Pet ownership continues to increase. -People spoil their pets. -Can't be replaced by the internet or technology.
5 weeks 4 days ago	The wife...	...returns from a three-day business (or so she says) trip, so I'll be looking to get some alone/quite time...as part of my recovery from being a single parent for three days. The recovery should include a few ciders. Rest of the weekend will be filled with old married guy stuff...kids' soccer games, Birmingham Art Fair, hosting of Mother's Day festivities, etc.  Although, we're taking the easy route for Mother's Day and bringing in a deli tray.  We'll have some leftovers, so feel free to stop by!
5 weeks 4 days ago	Great Gatsby	Brutal review in the Wall Street Journal this morning. I'll be interested to hear the reviews of non-critics...
5 weeks 5 days ago	Jealous...	...of your stories.  Much like my story re:  getting engaged, my "getting in to Michigan" story is pretty lame. I applied only to Michigan, knowing I'd get in.  Sometime in the fall of my senior year in high school, the large envelope arrived. In retrospect, applying to only one school was - of course - a naive and over-confident choice.  Almost thirty years later, I'm still surprised that my parents never forced me to develop a back-up plan. There was, however, no way this Michigan Man would've attended school in East Lansing.  Maybe Wayne State?  Fortunately, I never had to think about it.
6 weeks 5 days ago	Great read	On a related note, the 1989 UM Grad family is bringing home two kittens today! I will be happy to provide you with pictures to use in future diaries.
7 weeks 1 day ago	Why?	Why don't you want the media to make him out to be a hero? There have been probably tens of thousands of gay professional athletes that have come before him...and he's the first to publicly acknowledge his sexuality while still playing the game. You could debate whether he is a "hero," but we should all applaud his courage and willingness to risk his career.
9 weeks 12 hours ago	No	No announcement. Great highlight video.
10 weeks 2 days ago	At MIA	Was scheduled to return to the Detroit area from our family trip to Miami.  Diverting to ATL for tonight's game! My focus has been off since we beat Florida.
10 weeks 2 days ago	Wife and Daughter	...both had Michigan winning the championship.  If (when!) Michigan wins, my nine year old daughter will come in 3rd in a 250-person pool.  She also had MSU and Ohio losing in the round of 64.  "I could never root for them, daddy!"
10 weeks 3 days ago	I'm going!	In Miami for a family vacation.  Scheduled to come back to DTW on Monday.  Diverting to ATL!
10 weeks 3 days ago	ATL	On my way from the bar in MIA and getting ready to call Delta to change my flight home to DTW and add in a stop in ATL. Who's with me?!?
10 weeks 6 days ago	Webber	Two of these...b
10 weeks 6 days ago	Subs	Did anyone hear that Coach B celebrated getting to the Sweet Sixteen with subs? Apparently, it was crazy.
11 weeks 15 hours ago	Tremendous	Tremendous
11 weeks 17 hours ago	Spike	I don't know if any of you were at the exhibition game for which Trey was suspended, but Spike played most of the game and looked really good. 16 pts and 6 assists IIRC. He will be more than capable at PG if Walton isn't ready to start next year.
11 weeks 19 hours ago	Birmingham	My kids are growing up there, too!
11 weeks 20 hours ago	$3	StubHub had tickets for $3 for Sunday's game...as of Saturday night.  Even the best tickets were going for under $100.  Assuming this was Kansas fans dumping their tickets and scalpers being left in a low-demand environment. I'm hoping the same thing holds true for next Monday...assuming we're still playing. Caveats of paperless ticketing, more excitement for a championship game than a regional final, etc.
11 weeks 1 day ago	Your	You're
11 weeks 1 day ago	Ditto	My 11 yr old son and I have both worn our Maize Rage tshirts for all four games. We both wish we could be U of M students.
11 weeks 1 day ago	Beilein's...	...is the best. That's a smile born of 35 years of climbing the ranks, doing it the right way, finally being rewarded for his efforts, and having the "he can't get past the Sweet 16" perception lifted. What a great moment for him.
11 weeks 1 day ago	Hey, All Aboard...	...look down at my avatar and you'll 906 Greenwood!
11 weeks 1 day ago	Rather than recount what I did...	....here is a copy of one of my many posts from Friday night...   "...screeching like my 9 year old daughter and her friends...watching the game alone in the dark in my family room...drunk on the blue drink I was drinking out of my 20 year old Michigan glass. I've been on the phone with my 45 year old Michigan grad friends and we're all losing our minds.  Between Denard and Trey this is an epic era in Michigan sports.  I'm losing my mind over here."
11 weeks 2 days ago	1989	The weekend we won the championship was also Hash Bash...and the Greatful Dead were in town at Crisler.  Copious amounts of pot and rioting on South U.
