33 weeks 6 days ago	Also 1990	Last game with Astro Turf - it was being replace by real grass.   People were cutting out small sections of the turf with their keys to keep as souveniers.  Less of a rush because of the win but more because of the circumstances.
37 weeks 21 hours ago	$42Million? $60million	I am curioius where are you getting these numbers for gate revenue?   $42m divided by 80000 seats is $525 per ticket.     $60m divided by 140000 seats is $526 per ticket.   I don't think ND or UM averaged that much per ticket...
45 weeks 15 hours ago	surely there are more USC	surely there are more USC fans than number 72 Univ of Lousiana at Lafayette?
46 weeks 6 days ago	Match 9 abandoned?	Why? Gettting too dark?   If Polk won it would have evened it up, instead it gave MSU the win
1 year 4 weeks ago	versus the Big Ten never	versus the Big Ten never having a home game?  Seems like the 2 vs 3 argument is the lessor of the evils.
1 year 4 weeks ago	Yes...	I think they are counting on a lot of alumni support for the other sports.  I couldn't count how many times DB said the word "donation" throughout the night.
1 year 4 weeks ago	per DB the athletic	per DB the athletic department still has 230 million in debt from Mich Stadium, Crisler and Yost so it's not like they just paid straight cash for the upgrades to each.   I think the story that the rev from the suites would pay off the that debt is still true.
1 year 4 weeks ago	basketball, football and hockey	basketball, football and hockey are not included in the next round of $250 million in spending.  He specifically mentioned that those three were done first because they are the sports that fund the rest of teams.
1 year 8 weeks ago	That was a good road trip	Michigan also played in the Maui classic that same week.   Saw both UM basketball and football games while hanging out in Hawaii..
1 year 8 weeks ago	Sounds like he is setting it	Sounds like he is setting it up as if the MMB isn't being reasonable with the travel costs If it only cost 200k to send the team and 400k to send the band then maybe there is a problem...
1 year 19 weeks ago	they are already at 25 (and	they are already at 25 (and oversigned).  Don't they need explicit permission from the B1G to sign anything over 25 in a class?
1 year 25 weeks ago	Good tip	It worked for me as well.
1 year 29 weeks ago	Another article from ESPN Cleveland	http://espncleveland.com/common/more.php?m=49&action=blog&post_id=164   Meyer in.  Smith out within 6 - 9 months.  Contact with Meyer being done by Trustees and not by Smith.
1 year 32 weeks ago	The university counts all	The university counts all tickets sold and/or given away in the attendance numbers.    This is why you will never see an attendance number less than the stadium capacity when it is clearly obvious that not every one came to the game. The reason that the numbers vary from game to game is due to the number of press, attendants, visitors, vendors, cheerleaders etc.
1 year 32 weeks ago	Tickets sold.   Doesn't	Tickets sold.   Doesn't matter if they show or not the the attendance numbers.
1 year 36 weeks ago	He is ESPN's BCS expert	Though he doesn't "know" the exact algorithm he is pretty good at predicting what the results are week to week.  I would guess if the BCS results came out this week they would be pretty close to what he shows.
1 year 41 weeks ago	but for each home game we	but for each home game we have to pay out some to the visiting team.  The assumption is that the amount that UM pays out is equal to the amount that UM gets for the road game.
1 year 43 weeks ago	I can't imagine anything bigger	The guy claims he gave 100s of thousands in benefits over almost a decade with coaches knowledge.
1 year 49 weeks ago	The NCAA was about to	The NCAA was about to sanction Kentucky for recognizing wins that Calipari had vacated.  Kentucky ended up conceding to the NCAA.   I would think the NCAA would do the same in this situation.
2 years 3 days ago	I agree. I had section 34, row 5 for 2 years	I couldnt see anything past the 20 yard line.   I watched most of the game on the big screen.
2 years 4 days ago	Didn't they already mic the band last season?	Is there something new that has changed?
2 years 5 days ago	football game starts around	football game starts around 13:25
2 years 1 week ago	If OSU changes his eligibility status	If OSU changes his eligibility status doesn't that mean they are also admitting that he has done something else to extend his suspension?  And if so, then don't they have to report it?
2 years 1 week ago	Someone at MDEN reads MGoBlog	The linky no work anymore.   Just an message saying "Sorry, No Products To Show For This Department"
2 years 2 weeks ago	OSU compliance position posted at ncaa.org	http://ncaamarket.ncaa.org/jobs/4253209/associate-director-compliance
2 years 7 weeks ago	All of Indiana observes Day Light Savings now (recent change)	Most of the state is in Eastern time except for 2 small corners that are Central time.
2 years 9 weeks ago	I agree the book isn't so good.	But it is one my 2 year old daughters favorite books, and it does help with the UM brainwashing.     Because of the book she knows that the Block M is "daddy's M" is pronounced "go blue" and every other m stands for Mommy.
2 years 10 weeks ago	awesome	Brandon just tweeted the link to the North Dakota finger fan gif.
2 years 10 weeks ago	Is this really about Rivals and Scout	or are they just the big names?  Isn't this about the shady "recruiting service" that Oregon subscribed and paid for?
2 years 11 weeks ago	dammit	looked up "alternate" in the search and didn't see it...   and the fact that I refresh every 10 minutes and didnt see the post.   f f f f...
