I can live with the white pants, but once we get blue pants the next step will either be to wear them at home or wear them with a maize jersey.

"In addition, Elbel Field is going to be converted to FieldTurf within the next year. Stadium lighting and a permanent scoreboard will be added, along with seating for 3,000.

"This will finally give Michigan an outdoor lacrosse facility.Most exciting, the team is finalizing plans to construct a new lacrosse-only service building next to Elbel Field that will include locker rooms, offices, meeting rooms, equipment, training and a 5,000 square-foot weight room. Once the new building is completed Michigan lacrosse will have the best facilities in the nation, at any level."

"What you remember as the Michigan Spirit is still throbbingly alive. This spirit is based upon a deathless loyalty to Michigan and all her ways; an enthusiam that makes it second nature for Michigan Men to spread the gospel of their university to the far corners of the earth, and a conviction that no where is there a better university than this Michigan of ours."

I think it would be best and I would be happiest if I were to assign all points. I know that I have the insight and knowlwedge to do the job perfectly. I feel that if a post is satisfactory to me, it will be satisfactory to all and when I feel a post sucks, it sucks. I have devised a system to score posts that, in my opinion, is perfect. It allows me to objectively consider grammar, spelling, and such as well as the logic of a post from a humanitarian perspective. I have applied my system to several threads here and, if I say so
myself, the results are outstanding. I have agreed completly with them. I know that I will be happiest knowing that I am posting to a board that keeps me and my wants as a primary goal and thus it will make you happy, too.

Earlier today Michigan had 23.5 points for W-golf. However, they were counting 11 sports so they dropped the lowest one and now are correctly counting 10 women's and 10 men's sports. I need to get a life, as I actually looked at M's results closely enough to notice this.

He gets a year of grad school for running the clipboard. Four years at Duke and a grad year at Syracuse for playing with a ball. His major at Duke must have been marketing.

For complete understanding, however, the entire manual should be read at least twice.

"On Oct. 1, 1927, Michigan played Ohio Wesleyan in the first game at Michigan Stadium. The game was a success as Michigan started the scoring on a 28-yard pass from Louis Gilbert to tight end Kip Taylor and prevailed easily, 33-0. The new stadium was dedicated three weeks later against Ohio State on Oct. 22, 1927."

graduate to enroll at Michigan? I know several college graduates who have not graduated from high school. One got a GED at age forty just so his wife would quit teasing him.

If he is going to throw a bottle at someone, he should hit him.  Practice, practice, praactice.  Get some coaching; maybe it was something simple like throwing off his back foot or not allowing for windage.

I was a student at Michigan when Bump was the coach.  Clock management was one of the smallest problems M had in the first half.

I thought Notre Dame used Big 10 officials.

rule concerning numbers except that each player on the field must have a unique number.   On offense, the five interior linemen must have numbers between 50 and 79.  Non-interior linemen (those eligible to catch a pass) cannot have these numbers.  Each offensive player on the field must have a unique number.  Everything else is simply convention.

Good for you.  ((To me, nothing on a blog is OT.  If I wanted to stay on topic, I would read a book.))

is stuff doctors study/learn, not undergraduates.  It's post-grad.  Pre-med is a list of fewer than ten courses medical schools expect thieir entering freshmen to have taken.  Good grades, a good test, the courses on the appropriate list and a degree in philolophy will get you into any of Michigan's professional schools.

harmed the football team?  I think that football punishment should be related to football team.  The State of Michigan is punishing him for the illegal things he did.

also watched the first half on TV this morning.  The TV sound did not do the crowd noise justice.  The TV people had it dialed down.  Why the TV people think their noise is more important than crowd noise is beyond me.

Michigan was up 17-14 in the 4th quarter.  A FG would have increased the lead to 6 points.  The TD put the game away.

From Wikipedia:  "A hockey jersey, traditionally called a sweater (due to it originally being made from sweater material, such as wool), is a piece of clothing worn by hockey players to cover the upper part of their bodiies."

However,

Nice writing. The new digs have certainly perked-up the out- of-town contributions to this blog--a case of build it and they will come. The Winged "T" presently used in many high schools is no more than the single wing with a player under center. Pop Warner is alive and well in Northern Michigan.
