| 1 hour 10 min ago | My dad's recollections are |
My dad's recollections are that the field had been done in by rain, and that it was basically painted on top of dirt and mud. Anecdotal, but I've heard the story enough to relay it... |
| 3 hours 12 min ago | And yet the halftime show |
And yet the halftime show ended up being a rather, shall we say, almost hippie-esque show centered on the environment. My dad was in that band as well. There was a film made out of that Rose Bowl trip, though it functions more as George fantasy infomercial than film about the MMB. |
| 11 hours 42 min ago | During one of my MMB years, |
During one of my MMB years, we were hanging around in the tunnel of Crisler waiting (typical MMB activity) for Crisler Concert to start. We had a bunch of time, and knowing that the Michigan Replay studios were up the stairway leading out of the tunnel, I decided to take a buddy and go exploring. So we went up there, turned a corner, and sure enough, there was the full Michigan Replay set. The chairs, the background, the various knick-knacks, the whole thing. It was like walking into heaven. I think we had to push the chairs into place, but for the most part, it was all like Lloyd and Jim had just walked out of a taping. Somewhere around here on a flash drive I have a pair of pictures my buddy took of me in each of the chairs, which I intended to Photoshop together, but never got around to doing. Needless to say, the whole thing was pretty awesome. |
| 12 hours 50 min ago | The Michigan Stadium Tartan |
The Michigan Stadium Tartan Turf from '69 was replaced twice- in 1975 and 1982. So, unfortunately, that doormat I have here on my bedroom floor only dates back to the Steve Smith era, and one year of AC. But that's details. At any rate, thanks, Bob, for the great show, and for the many years of enjoyment we all got out of what you did. |
| 4 days 4 hours ago | No. But I do think Rick Leach |
No. But I do think Rick Leach has been given a pass by people who are too young, too ignorant, or too residually concerned with Rich Rodriguez to call a spade a spade. Rick Leach lost almost a third of an MLB season for a raging coke habit. Got caught with drugs in a team hotel. Disappeared from his club and missed games because of his addictions. Braylon has, what, a few offseason incidents and a lively tongue. Sure, that's problematic, but it never compromised his ability to fulfill his obligations to his team, and has never appeared to impact his ability to function as an adult. All I'm saying is that if folks are going to torpedo Braylon and the #1, they might as well acknowledge or consider how Rick Leach has conducted himself if he is going to be mentioned for the Legends honor. |
| 4 days 4 hours ago | If Braylon disappeared from |
If Braylon disappeared from his team on a Saturday night, missed a game on Sunday, and was in Goodell's office on Monday explaining away a bender on his way to a suspension and rehab by Tuesday, you'd have four sanctimonious diaries filed here by Friday. Good to know you keep such obvious double standards based on your own petty agenda. |
| 4 days 5 hours ago | I wonder if all the folks who |
I wonder if all the folks who tear into Braylon around here, connecting his off field issues with the #1 jersey, would do the same with Rick Leach, the Legends patch, and his rather well-documented issues with substance abuse during his MLB career. Huge suspension, going AWOL on his team during a bender or two... |
| 4 days 6 hours ago | Probably just personal |
Probably just personal preference now that 12 is available. Both 7 and 12 have been QB numbers of prominence over the years, and college football doesn't have positional number restrictions like the NFL. Not many tea leaves to read. |
| 4 days 6 hours ago | Anybody who sneaks a flask |
Anybody who sneaks a flask into bars for a year instead of actually paying for drinks like everyone else (while some poor soul waits on them anyway), and pats themselves on the back for it, is simply an asshole. |
| 1 week 4 hours ago | Anybody else remember a |
Anybody else remember a shortlived/sporadic Michigan Basketball version of Michigan Replay? I distinctly remember a Steve Fisher show almost identical to football version, right around years 3 and 4 of the Fab Five-era, maybe? |
