Hash Bash is always the first Saturday in April…if my memory serves me correctly.

Most people let emotions get in their way. Jim has brought the Michigan of my childhood back and I love him for that (although I'd despise him if he played/coached for any other NCAA school). That said, anyone who says he doesn't deserve some critique for what's happening, including the repetitive season-end flirtation with the NFL, has got their head in the sand.

Jim doesn't seem like a…

Jim doesn't seem like a monkey jpeg kind of guy to me...but with all his quirks, he might have several burner metamask wallets. Ya never know!

Clearly an LSA student writing for the Michigan Daily has never negotiated a major contract or an employment contract. 

I'd also state fact in that Jim has in no way been cleared of doing anything wrong...there are still NCAA investigations that are ongoing and the outcome of those investigations are nebulous at best. 

Warde certainly has some blame for this dragging out, and can without a doubt protect Michigan by using offset clauses, accommodate a review panel, etc. 

The point that's being made in this article is that the blame isn't ALL on Warde, like him or not. I love Jim, but his he's looking over his shoulder at the hotter girl in the NFL and that's been omnipresent for quite a few years.

I think he wants to come…

I think he wants to come back to Michigan, but he's very worried about the NCAA coming down on him and therefore being out of a job. With that looming and Michigan unwilling to pony up 12m+ per annum if the NCAA does impose something, making Harbaugh unemployable at the NCAA level, I think his move to the NFL (EDIT: Not NFT - DOH!) is imminent...

I've got my two season tickets for the Rutgers game in Section 20, Row 27.

I have 174.92 points. I never got an allotment either but I figure it's always worth a try. Like my father once told me, "It never hurts to ask!" 

He was a smart Michigan man!

You’re not at all wrong,…

You’re not at all wrong, UMin. I agree with every word you said.  We’re 2 spots from being the leaders and best in terms of most valuable football programs, a list we’d top if we allowed advertising. 
 

I’m in no way advocating for advertising, for the record. But to be the best, to get the best recruits, to stay ahead in the arms race, to support women’s rowing and all 20 something other non-revenue sports, you need to make money. 


So why not sell beer?

I prefer this survey to the…

I prefer this survey to the AD just putting up the Halo, or putting a giant goddamn noodle in the concourse. 
Like it or not, college sports are an arms race and Michigan is leaving a lot of money on the table as compared to every other school IN THE NATION. 
Have sponsored WiFi, sell $20 cocktails and $15 beers. Whatever. Nobody is forcing a drink on you. 
Whatever happens, I hope we all speak loudly enough to keep ads out of the stadium and that we keep Michigan Stadium as the best place to watch a game, anywhere in America today!

Prayers up for DeBo and his family. Let's all hope for a full recovery!

I’m a BMW fanatic and a former employee. It’s a great SUV but as others are saying, maintenance costs will be high. On a performance oriented SUV of that age with 100k miles, you can expect 2-3k per annum of maintenance. 

If it’s garaged, you drive low miles, you drive it gingerly, etc. you may get away with 1.5k a year but don’t expect that to be the norm. 

Renewing without a doubt. I…

Renewing without a doubt. I'm in NJ but the 3-4 trips a season I make to the Mecca of college football with old college friends (and now my kids) are some of the best weekends of the year. Pure nostalgia, walking around campus, Dominicks, touching the banner, the walk to the stadium...just thinking about it makes me want to go right now!

Of course we all hope The Team plays better this year...I'm positive they will!

Total domination. 1997. M at PSU. 34-8. 3:30 kick (It was Nov and close to dark by the end of the game - think Michigan's old portable lights).

M Ranked 4

I've never been to a larger ass kicking in my life. We're due for one.

There were LET'S GO BLUE chants echoing throughout MSG twice yesterday that were amongst the loudest I've ever heard at Michigan sporting event...at any venue. It was truly amazing!

This is a game I always make. My first one in Happy Valley was the spanking we delivered in 1997. Feeling an onset of deja vu...and not the one in Ypsi.

The University of Michigan

The University of Michigan and Indiana University are the only two campuses in the US with two bell towers. 

That my friends, is a Snapple Fact.

Use the spreadsheet!

I already sold two games at "normal" prices for this season off of the spreadsheet.

This car was my screensaver all through my four years at Michigan (98-02).

   

Nike says that they're not

Nike says that they're not being offered for retail distrubution...

 

"If you were watching College Basketball in the early '90s, the Fab Five stuck with you," Hatfield, Nike's VP of Design & Special Projects, said in the release. "They brought a new style of play. They had swagger to their game that I hadn't seen at the college level before. They became one of the most iconic teams in college sports. I wanted to create a special shoe that celebrated that team and marks the start of a new era for the teams at the Jordan Brand and the University of Michigan."

That said, however, no, the shoes will not be available for public sale.

According to Nike, the shoe is "a gift from Hatfield to the friends and family of the Jordan Brand."

 

BOOOOOOOO!

If you can't get excited for

If you can't get excited for the incumbent starter at Michigan you have no business being a Michigan fan. Wilt had a great year for being a first year starter and he'll only get better from here on out. Can he get beat out by one of the younger guys? Sure. Could he have an older, more experienced crop of receivers to throw to this year? Sure. All that said, everyone should be excited as hell for Wilt or whoever happens to start for Michigan. If they don't get better they won't be starting under Harbaugh...

It's standard. I just sold my Maryland tickets that way. Michigan Football Ticket Office signed StubHub as their official reseller a few years ago (just like MLB and some other leagues). The paper ticket is cancelled because the seller enteres the barcodes and your printed tickets with new barcodes are now the valid tickets.

Stubhub has a 100% guarantee behind your tickets so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I've boght and sold 100s of tickets this way over the years...

A fear of mobile quaterbacks

A fear of mobile quaterbacks has been seared into my brain for ~20 years of Micigan football. My first experience in person as a student was the Donovan McNabb show in 1998. The countless other losses to teams with Mobile QB's only pushed the brand in harder. One particularly miserable memory was the 2005 Rose Bowl when Vince Young went wild.

The dimension that a QB adds to a game when he can run for the sticks is incredible. Just think about Rudock last year. I wouldn't consider him a "mobile" QB by any means but his ability to scramble for first downs won us some games...

That said, the 2% that OP mentioned is not even remotely in my brain for the State game. We're going to crush them.
