...Keith Dunnavant's The 50 Year Seduction: How Television Manipulated College Football, from the Birth of the Modern NCAA to the Creation of the BCS is a great book. 

...pretty sure it was the Capital One Bowl.

is the one day of the year when it's okay to wear green...unless it's a forest green...that's fine year round, but I really don't care for Kelly green.

I do have a St. Patrick's Day Michigan cap, but it kind of looks like a Notre Dame cap, MSU cap, and Michigan cap were combined together at the factory. :-(

The general rule is one 8 ounce/250 ml of water for every unit of alcohol (1 beer, shot or (5 oz) glass of wine)

Kinesiology, Sport Management class of 2008.

Worked at Cost Plus from 2003-2006, and at Moe's Sport Shop from 2006-2008.

I always had my own apartment off campus, but I frequented the Starbucks on South U...I had a coffee in my hand every day for class, and probably had shaky hands from all the caffeine.

in San Mateo, CA (Tom Brady went to Junipero Serra High in the same city.)

We were okay in sports. Marvin Phillip, center just released by the Buffalo Bills went there as well as Cardell Butler aka Ballaholic from the And 1 Streetball show...woohoo!

Other famous alum include Merv Griffin and Kris Kristofferson!

with Woodruff as our speaker. Not only is he a Michigan man, but I thought he was pretty inspiring to listen to. The guy's been through a lot.

your '97 National Champions shirt in 1998 while outside of Lincoln, Nebraska...death stares all over the place!

the commercials with the stack of money with eyes on it. I don't even know what the hell the commercial is for because it's so annoying that I block them out.

...a happy birthday to LeBron James too (even though he's from "that" state.)

A few recommendations for you to read:

1)The Big House: Fielding H. Yost and the Building of Michigan Stadium by Robert M. Soderstrom

Great book, incredibly detailed.

2)Tradition: Bo Schembechler's Michigan memories by Bo Schembechler, Dan Ewald

3)30 Years of Bo: Scrapbook Memories of a Michigan Football Icon

Congratualtions, and I hope you enjoy Michigan as much as I did.

will always be #1 in my book. We'll get back on that list eventually.

...die hard Michigan fans I know didn't go there. In most cases they were athletes who wanted to play, and would only have the chance in a D-II or D-III school, but they bleed blue as much as I do. If you have unconditional love for the Wolverines, then you've got my respect!

You said return to glory! UGH!

RIP #15!

Collinsworth wishes he had Manningham's swagger. lol

First you say "To start this i will say my farewell i will never again log onto this account. i will never create a new account"

Then you say "now i will still use this site"

HUH?!?!?!

"Woodley and Branch put plenty of guys in the hospital in their time."

That's because they're BEASTS!

Johnny Damon also said he'd never be a Yankee.

Most sports advocates believe Tiger Woods' incident with his wife will actually improve his golf game.

Let's face it; when you get hit in the head with a seven iron, you are going to see a lot of birdies!

they're bringing back Ara Parseghian.

(obvious sarcasm)

I didn't know they were so flexible...awesome !

But fired in Spanish is encendido. It would have been perfect otherwise!

"I would sooner want ND to take Billick over a proven college head coach."

Pun intended?

to block that one out of my mind. I work with a Spartan alum and he gave me hell that next week. But yes, add that to the list of what might have been...oh yeah, and Purdue...UGH!!!

The way we started, and the way we finished. Plus the fact that our D stepped up in the final game, but our offense sputtered.
Also, I hate the "could have been" games (ie: Iowa and OSU) If it hadn't been for all those turnovers, we would have won.

The Big House, Fielding H.Yost and the Building of Michigan Stadium by Robert M. Soderstrom is a good one.

Rich Rod wouldn't ever come close to Mike Martz even if he's at his worst and Martz at his best. Martz made it to a Super Bowl...with a team he inhereited from Dick Vermeil. Since then he's really done nothing. Rich didn't inherit much from Lloyd Carr. Loved Lloyd, but this is a fact. Rich has a proven record of success and deserves time to build this team back up.

I don't like hearing of this happen to people, especially in this economic climate...but hopefully he can learn from this and will be more objective the next time.

Just don't do it! Don't read his articles anymore. I stopped over a month ago, and already I'm sleeping better.

calling them the f*ckeyes.

I heard from so many people before the season started that Tate was going to be another Steve Threat. I knew he'd be so much better, but how fantastic it's been to throw his successes back in those people's faces. Sure he's made mistakes, but who doesn't? And it's only his first season. BrayBray1 you are so right! Notre Dame was the highlight of the year. Plus...the kid can run, he can pass...and he can punt?!?!?!?! Go Blue!

was when Tate punted. Maybe we'll see something Saturday? I'd love for us to make it in the headlines for something positive again.

What about Queme los Barcos...Queme los Sofas? That was bball inspired. I'm sure now that the season has started up more will come.

Their mascot is named after the guy who betrayed Ceasar...Wisconsin's mascot Bucky sounds more like what Brutus' name should've been. But really...was Brutus the best you could come up with?!?!?

Crazy accident. Your friend is very lucky!

Chicago charges the highest taxes in the US.

Great post joelrodz!

right outside Michigan stadium. The last time they were at the north-west side of the stadium off of Ann Arbor-Saline Road.
OSU weekend gets crowded early, so if it's an 11:00 game expect to be up REALLY early if you want to participate in all the festivites.
Friday night check out any of the bars on central campus...brown jug, charley's, etc. I highly recommend a late night BTB (formerly big ten burrito) to get your stomach ready for drinking early the next morning.
I like to go to Moe's on North University right across from the Diag to get a bunch of new Michigan gear. It's a neat environment. Small store packed with Michigan faithful...the original UM store.
Good luck with getting Desmond's autograph.

That's all I have to say about that.

Some UM alum out here in Wisconsin hadn't received their tickets either and called to check. They were told the tickets would be sent out late October-first week in November because they're waiting on Wisconsin to send them...figures.

Grizzly Peak Brewing Company on Washington is pretty good, but Ashley's on State Street is one of the better places to go to especially if you rarely get out there. It's Ann Arbor's "premier multi tap." There are over 100 selections of beer on draft, and even more by the bottle...good burgers, plus it's right on central campus across from Angel Hall.

Look at it this way...there are thousands of people who watched those games on TV and probably believe we lost because they weren't actually there. Maybe it's their fault?

Bo was the ish!

I'm surprised the M in the student section wasn't mentioned earlier.
Going to Moe's Sport Shop before the game...and after. Love that place!

"I feel like he's going to get better, he's going to be a great player. It's going to happen in time,"

Ummm...but will it happen before he graduates?
