The Regents also approved the NHL obtaining a liquor license for the game.

The roof

I'm glad they're at least getting rid of the bubble-like oval on the roof, but I'd like to see less exposed aluminum on the roof. Not sure what the alternatives could be though.

Pregame

The pregame was on ESPN News, and I'm pretty sure Rinaldi's piece was shown on College Gameday. Still stupid that they can't cut away from garbage time though.

Time

Back in 2007, I think I got there around 8am, it took a half hour to get in and I was 15' from the front. Granted that was in a contained parking lot just north of the Big House, so there will be much more room up at Ingalls this year.

Also, I wouldn't take any food or water with you even if it's sealed since they took my breakfast from me that year.

Already done

Stitching

I just want to run the finite element analysis on the numbers, but then again I'm a mechanical engineer.

Hockey

Michigan has a lot of sports and has been around a lot of years but holy crap, man. That doesn't even include hockey.

...yet.

IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!

This'll have to do

Wow

That'll probably top Louie's buzzer beater to beat ND a couple years ago. Just b/c Carl scored 2 like that on his senior night. PLEASE tell me someone recorded this and can post a torrent to Big Ten Tracker!

Only have radio

I had been looking for this gif but couldn't remember what blog it was from. Thanks!

After reading that recap, I realize how much I miss Yost. Easily the best crowd experience anywhere I've been.

Holy crap

dude has a mouth??

No,

what's YOUR deal?

Wow, this *is* quick

But that also pretty much guarantees they're re-using the same structures at the Big House, so no Godzillatron (yet).

Yost and Crisler definitely need new structures though, the current ones aren't big enough to do HD justice.

Indeed indeed

I was a freshman in 2005, and that was just about the end of the band director dancing. I only saw it happen once and it was the alumni band director at that. These days if you chant "DANCE!" and point at the director, everyone thinks you're telling the band to play "Can't Turn You Loose" at the end of the 3rd period and usually ignores you.

Today's version needs to incorporate more of JMFJ's dad's moves. Specifically the finger pointing and hand waving.

You expected the spread to reach it's ceiling with a true sophomore QB, no comptent kicking game, and no defense? I'm accepting RR had to go, but if he had hired a functional defensive staff from the start 9-3 would've been the floor for years to come.

Well said, Brian

We all want Hoke to succeed, but basically I am disappointed that Michigan gave up on the spread offense with a higher ceiling and seems content to be "Lloyd Carr's Michigan" (/Braylon) and go 9-3 each year.

But you have to give him credit for overcoming his crack addiction and getting out of West Baltimore

At the 4, he's gonna play wicked hawt from Bawston, Mass, Evan Smawtrycz

He's giving Hoke a chance, he's just skeptical of how well and fast this is going to work. On top of that, he's annoyed with how hypocritical the anti-RR people are being by overly accepting of Hoke. I happen to agree with him, but I think everyone will be happy if we just win.

Yes.

Please.

Slap Chop?

Addendum

"We were not as explicit with our student-athlete education as we should have been in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 academic years regarding the sale of apparel, awards and gifts issued by the athletics department," Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in a statement. "We began to significantly improve our education in November of 2009 to address these issues. After going through this experience, we will further enhance our education for all our student-athletes as we move forward."

I would expect the OSU AD to at least be able to say "DON'T DO IT", but I guess I underestimated their (already low) intelligence.

Stupid

The players are eligibile for the bowl game because the NCAA determined they did not receive adequate rules education during the time period the violations occurred, Lennon said.

So because OSU did a bad job educating their players, they get rewarded by getting to play in the bowl game as opposed to a less impactful/profitable game next year? Ridiculous.

Good analogy

So the SEC schools offer medical redshirt vouchers if the recruits can be flexible with their collegiate plans?

You're talking about two

You're talking about two totally different aspects here. Gardner's redshirt is after a season of him dressing for every game to get him an extra year of eligibility (his scholarship was still paid for this year and he occupied one of our 85 spots).

Whereas Saban, et al. use it to cram extra players onto their roster before the season where they have no hope of playing this year. That is, if he offers them a medical scholarship and doesn't ask them to grayshirt, which is even worse.
