18 weeks 3 days ago	GBW	Anyone able to get the Sunday podcasts? The John Bacon show and especially GBW? Those are pretty good as well.
20 weeks 5 days ago	Slocum?	The only animal that Big Will didn't tussle with was a fuck lion...
36 weeks 5 days ago	Actually you can find it online	I know you were probably frantic, but the answer is on the board...check the sticky post "How to Listen to the Game...Anywhere" Best method to listen over the net currently is probably to use the Iheartradio app/website and tune to 1300 WOOD radio in Grand Rapids, they have the game on.
48 weeks 4 days ago	Golf Clap to you sir...	I cant remember the last time I took the seven seconds to actually login...but dear god CRex, keep up the good work.  These stories just keep getting better and better...
1 year 28 weeks ago	Check this post	Its stickied on the mgoboard, and has many ways to listen to the game:   http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/listening-gameanywhere
1 year 28 weeks ago	Radio	I posted a thread on this last year that got stickied in the mgoboard, its still there -   Here is my general advice (I am a sprint android user, if that gives you hope), and yes this worked as of last week.   4. To listen to the game on your Iphone or Android:  1. Go to the App store and get the free application "iheartradio".  2. Run the "iheartradio" app.  3. Go to the all cities link, and search for Grand Rapids, Michigan.  4.  Search for the station WOOD 1300AM, the game will be on there.  [Blue Okie provides an additional source: Big Ten Network app for smart phones also carries the radio broadcast for each team.] *How to listen to our announcers versus Pam Ward:  In the past, the stream on the net was so far behind the video broadcast that you could use a DVR to hold the video for a few moments and the play by play would then catch up.  This year at least in the first few games the mgoblue feed has been much quicker and thus you could not do this anymore.  I am happy to report that as of yesterday the 'iheartradio' feed is significantly behind the video (at least on ESPNU) and thus you could listen to our announcers, and watch the video using a DVR to match the two up.
1 year 28 weeks ago	Radio	I created a "how to" on this subject last year... You can find it in this mgoboard stickied thread - http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/listening-gameanywhere For most folks, follow what many have suggested above using tunein or Iheartradio apps, here is my advice from that thread: 4. To listen to the game on your Iphone or Android:  1. Go to the App store and get the free application "iheartradio".  2. Run the "iheartradio" app.  3. Go to the all cities link, and search for Grand Rapids, Michigan.  4.  Search for the station WOOD 1300AM, the game will be on there.  [Blue Okie provides an additional source: Big Ten Network app for smart phones also carries the radio broadcast for each team.] *How to listen to our announcers versus Pam Ward:  In the past, the stream on the net was so far behind the video broadcast that you could use a DVR to hold the video for a few moments and the play by play would then catch up.  This year at least in the first few games the mgoblue feed has been much quicker and thus you could not do this anymore.  I am happy to report that as of yesterday the 'iheartradio' feed is significantly behind the video (at least on ESPNU) and thus you could listen to our announcers, and watch the video using a DVR to match the two up.
1 year 32 weeks ago	Thanks!	Good Info drop 03, your posting pushed me over the edge, I just preordered the e-version of this book, sounds incredibly interesting...
1 year 38 weeks ago	I thought it had to be a sick joke	I still cant process this, Killer was the reporter who provided a voice to anguished Lions fans year after year...a great all around guy.  Wow he will truly be missed!
1 year 38 weeks ago	Whatever everyone likes	I think as long as you are playing generally good rocking music you are pretty safe, heck get Jerry Sprague to play your tailgate, thats the best solution, we have done it the last few years.   But for the love of god dont do this, and then post it on the internet, embarrassing your university for all eternity:

1 year 41 weeks ago	Seriously?	RB is by far the easiest position in Football to come in and contribute.  I have no idea of the talent of Rawls, because I have never seen him play.  But I know who our current crop of RBs remind me of; David Underwood.  Every year we heard how Underwood was getting better and could be the man this year.  And every year he was just meh.  Thank god Mike Hart showed up his Senior year or we would have been in big trouble.  The early games that year before Hart started getting carries were just painful to watch. Aug
1 year 42 weeks ago	This	He was a Michigan homer that just wasnt listenable.  Everytime I listened all I could think of was that I or just about anyone I know could put on an equivalent product, he wasnt very good...Darn it DFN go get Art Regner, he is interesting to listen to and currently doesnt seem to do much more than fill in work on the radio. Aug
1 year 42 weeks ago	Good Find	Always interested to hear the view of the players on the field...even from other teams
1 year 42 weeks ago	Dooh	I guess I misread the OPs original post or maybe he edited it. I thought he was streaming from the WTKA website and having issues, and thats why I mentioned 'tuneinradio' thought it might be another avenue for him to try...oh well. Aug
1 year 42 weeks ago	App	you can get WTKA on the "tuneinradio" app, just in case you are still having issues with the streaming...
1 year 42 weeks ago	Tickets	For me, if I remember correctly there was a place on the form to include info about moving, I did that but also included a letter stating the account # of my family I wanted to sit near, where their current seats actually were and some other general info that I thought might help. Aug
1 year 42 weeks ago	Similar Situation	I made a request about three years ago just to move in general to be nearer some family of mine.  I just followed the procedure on the ticket form and gave them as much pertinent info as I could about where I wanted to go.  Didnt upgrade or downgrade.  Never heard a word from the ticket staff, but when my tix arrived I was sitting right next to them, I had moved from one end of the stadium to the other so it was a fairly large move.  So someone is keeping track of this stuff and while they might not call or confirm with you, it appears they do their best to meet your needs... Hope this helps   Aug
1 year 43 weeks ago	One Vote	For Professor Potter, had a humanities spot to fill senior year and took "life and sports in ancient rome" as a goof...ended up being a great choice guy is just an awesome lecturer.
1 year 43 weeks ago	Un Nails it..	When people see the title of the series they naturally assume that "the walking dead" refers to the zombies, but when you read the comic in all its bloodiness you basically learn its refering to the humans that are still left.  One of the cover pictures for the series shows a group shot of the 'good guys' as humans and then as zombies...it's an interesting juxtaposition.  I really enjoyed this TV adaptation, especially the gritty/real feel it had... Aug
1 year 45 weeks ago	Keep it	One vote for keeping the song, it chokes me up just a bit every time I hear it. I really enjoy the hype videos, keep up the great work... Aug
1 year 47 weeks ago	Thank Goodness!	Awesome Awesome. Cant wait for this to arrive in my mailbox. For anyone not sure about buying Brian's magazine I cannot recommend it enough. I have bought the last two and have been incredibly impressed with the product. Easily the best college football pre-season mag you can get as a Michigan fan. The direct analysis is spot on, and the extra articles are really interesting and in-depth. Thanks in advance to Brian and all the other contributors for all your hard work! Aug
1 year 48 weeks ago	Google Listen	I dont know if this will help anybody but the "google listen" app works (at least on android) with WTKA podcasts just fine these days.  Sometimes certain parts of the show are missing, but most of the stuff makes it up there.  If anyone needs help just post here, and I can walk you through how to set it up. Aug
1 year 51 weeks ago	From the horse's mouth	My good friend had the opportunity to sit with Borges at the big UM dinner a few weeks ago at Glick. He made the point that he honestly just wants to win big at UM and that would be fine with him. He said this is possible today because assisstants make so much now, back in the day you had to become a head coach to support your family now you dont have to anymore. He further stated he could think of only one or two positions as a head coach he would even consider over being the OC at UM
1 year 51 weeks ago	You are so right...	Champion was just awesome and obviously has a great rapore with Brandy. Losing Champion was just another Lionesque move in 50 years of lionesque moves.
2 years 2 weeks ago	Dangit!	I thought for sure I would get the House Cat out first, good job guys.  Apparently Jesse got that nickname for his less then stellar work ethic, at least that is my memory... Also wasnt Greg Skrepenak 'The Barge'   Aug
2 years 2 weeks ago	Damnit!	I was so psyched up to read the giant pile of stupidity and the silly mods over there yoinked it...Thanks a lot guys. I truly feel I missed out on some powerful humor. Aug
2 years 5 weeks ago	parking	You can park at pioneer for a fee, but I am pretty sure you can park in the big U-M lot next to the stadium for free... Aug
2 years 6 weeks ago	Coneys?	While focusing on the athlete squandering the money angle, you folks have missed out on the joy that is Coneys spreading across the country.  While I heartily agree stupid athletes and their money are often soon parted, and I have no idea whether this venture is going to work, I heartily endorse the spread of the coney.  It's my understanding a Leo's opened in Chicago last year and had lines around the block.  That's one thing Detroit has going for it, since everyone has left there are lots of Michiganders all around the country missing stuff from home.  I know many of my friends make Athens coney their first stop when they come in to town. PS.  The one annoying thing I have noticed is that the worst coneys are the ones that tend to spread...Kerbys is god awful, National and Leo's aren't far behind...and yet those are the ones spreading like a virus all over the place. Why All American, Lafayette or even Athens on Woodward havent spread is beyond me.   Aug
2 years 6 weeks ago	100% pure awesome	Never has an avatar so completely captured the soul of a post.  Kudos to you and your onion belt. Aug
