it's tough to do if you are engaging forward.  By the time you are cut you have forward momentum.

the most important question not asked is whether the athletes on the field like what we are piping in..

Even though ITBH, Lose Yourself, Seven Nation Army, etc seem to be cliche, the players MUST get pretty amped up when 110K+ sing along.  In today's world, we will never see a unique piped in song for more than a week, unless it is as specific as ITBH.  So the metric should really be whether the music is uplifting (ie 7 Nation, etc), or ridiculous (Neil, Journey).

Frankly, the only reason Don't Stop Believin' is piped is for 2 words

to see if he will jump up and touch the banner...if he does I hope he doesn't pull a Mesco

I want a night game a year too, and for selfish reasons.  As a season ticket holder from out of state, it is a major ordeal for me to haul my ass to AA from NY for games, so I do it right for the 4 or so games I decide to attend.  I am at the golf course when it opens, tailgate as long as possible, wrap it up and get to the stadium before kickoff.  Then afterwards, I may get another hour while traffic thins out.  The experience is over all too soon, especially later in the season when we kick off early.  I am sooo excited to be able to enjoy the day with my fellow tailgaiters.  I will grill at least 3 times, play some bag toss (hate calling it cornhole), toss the ball, watch the early games (we bring a 48' screen), and basically enjoy the entire day of Michigan Football.  This makes up for the one guaranteed bad weather game I attend every season (still hate you Northwestern game).

were a result of both Reggie Bush and OJ Mayo, who if I recall had quite a few recruiting violations that were discovered.

Brian is probably not mentioning Corners in an effort to keep the AMHG from coming down with vengeance.

isn't Tom the cat?  actually, that kind of makes sense now...

We had swagger...and I don't mean to single out the Fab 5 as the source.  They were certainly a large part of the equation, but it was plain exciting to be a fan of Michigan sports (state of, not just UM) because of all of our (my) teams.  I fondly recall that time.  Remember the Pistons were coming off 2 NBA championships (they went 2 for 3) and were the Bad Boys, the UM basketball team had their championship and then the Fab 5 came, the Red Wings were leading the NHL in scoring and you just knew they were going to start to win championships (and they did), Cecil Fielder was busy winning HR and RBI crowns, UM football had back to back Rose Bowl games...hell even the Lions had Barry Sanders and a 12 and 4 Season in '91.  We had the best RB in the NFL, the best hitter in baseball, the most hated NBA team, the most exciting NHL team, and a 5 year run of Big 10 football championships.  Topping it off for me personally, the spartans were 3-8!   Man I miss those days!

How could they use this as an excuse?  "we got caught cheating, so your victory over us is less impressive than our victory over you with ineligible players"

Dear Illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, Minnesota, and Purdue;

Suck it.

Sincerely,

Michigan

Because Denard sat behind Tate, Devin sat behind Denard...and they all had the opportunity to play either due to injury or through proving themselves.  If a QB is elite, he must believe he is elite enough not to sit.

At the very least there had to be some Hoke influence, as Denard made his decision after speaking with Brady.  And don't overlook that Denard mentioned playing in 2 different offensive schemes...which means Brady didn't just tell DR what he wanted to hear.

3500 is hard for anyone to do, as it requires almost 300 yards per game average. However. I think he is a better passer than he gets credit for. Imagine his numbers if just half of the catchable balls last season were, ya know...caught.

it just doesn't occur to me that UConn is a BCS team!

with a Heisman QB.  But also lost 2 early unmentionable games...
