Not sure if someone already brought this up, but Where was PF outrage when Harbaugh hired Wheatley Sr and then Wheatley Jr committed...or do I have that flipped?

As part of the Michigan Athletics family and the most invested supporters of our 931 student-athletes, I want to update you surrounding this past week's events.



Following Saturday's football game we spent the next two days reconstructing what happened, culminating in the statement that was released early Tuesday morning. As I stated in the release, we made a mistake, and I take full responsibility for that.



As a result of our findings we have implemented new protocol that addresses injury identification and communication. These changes will be in place starting this Saturday at Rutgers to ensure that we never face this situation again. We are implementing an "Eye in the Sky" system used in the NFL and at one other school, Northwestern, where an observer watching the game and television replays focuses on collisions. This person will wear headphones and be hard-wired to our entire medical staff to immediately alert them to potential head injuries. To learn more about our new player safety measures please click here.



Over the last two days I have met with our student-athletes. Their health and welfare are my highest priority. On Thursday morning, I called a meeting for all Michigan Athletic department team members. We discussed the week's events and importance of supporting all of our student-athletes and especially our football team.



I ​want you to be assured that I ​realize the student body is a critical component of Michigan Athletics. Their pride and passion makes the University of Michigan the special place that it is. Therefore, my first media availability was with the Michigan Daily. ​I look forward to rebuilding the relationship between our students and the athletic department.




While it has no doubt been a difficult week, I have also been overwhelmed and humbled by encouragement from our student-athletes, coaches and department team members.



This weekend I am going to Rutgers to watch our football team compete. I remain committed to providing them and all 931 student-athletes with the opportunity to become world-ready graduates, representing the Block M. Thank you for your continued support of this mission.

I work at the arena here in

I work at the arena here in Dallas. I can't put into words how erie and surreal that was last night. 14,000 people were in complete shock. You truly could here a pin drop when they drug him to the back. He was laying in the hall way 50 yards from my office as they administered the AED to him. 8 Years in this building I have seen some crazy stuff, but last night was by far the most crazy of em all.  

Is this really thread worthy?

Is this really thread worthy? Multiple open threads already discussing this.

Of all the posts following

Of all the posts following todays game this is the only one I care to comment on. Thank You Frank. I will miss not only your play by play but your pre-game banter with Jim B.

1985 & 1995

1985...Harbaugh to Kolesar. Was 10 years old and was walking down the steps with a hot chocolate in my hand My Step dad picked me up just as the ball was snapped. Hot Chocolate was spilled everywhere when Kolesar caught the ball.

1995..Long story short. Wires got crossed. I thought my step dad had my ticket. He thought I had it. Luckily one of the county sherriffs was a regular at our tailgate and walked me in to the stadium....through the tunnel.

Touché

Streaming

Any suggestions for best sites for streaming live football?

 

Not Kobe

Hate to burst your bubble...but that was not Kobe beef you were eating. Most likely was certified angus sirloin.

Working

I am working today, but yesterday our tailgate was next to the players parents tailgate. I did jello shots with Kyle Kalis's Dad and Step-mom and Eric Magnuson's Dad. Very cool and down to earth people. Kyle's Dad is a very big man....genetics certainly at work there.

Hope I am correct
  1. 2,500 yards passing for Denard Robinson on the season (bowl included) OVER
  2. 1,000 yards rushing for both Denard Robinson & Fitzgerald Toussaint OVER
  3. 15 combined sacks for all Michigan DE's UNDER
  4. 13.5 games STARTED by Fitzgerald Toussaint & Frank Clark (combined) OVER
  5. 24.5 commits in the 2013 recruiting class OVER 
  1. Denard Robinson will be invited to the Heisman Trophy Ceremony FACT
  2. Michigan will have at least ONE 1,000 yard WR FICTION
  3. Kyle Kalis will be starting on the OL by the end of the regular season FACT
  4. Will Campbell will make 1st or 2nd team All-B1G FACT

I have lived in Dallas for 6

I have lived in Dallas for 6 years now. Here are my suggestions.

If you have the time I would suggest going to Perrys Steakhouse and Grille on Mckinney Ave for Lunch on Friday. 1 lb Pork Chop for lunch $11.95 (Smoked for 36 hours)...Best lunch in the city!

Angry Dog or Jakes for Burgers. Prefer Jakes just becuase the scenery and patio make for a more enjoyable dinning experience.

BBQ-Angelos in Ft. Worth is by far the best I have had in the DFW metroplex. I am not a fan of Sonny Bryans.

Tex-Mex-I never go wrong with Papacitos, El Fenix, and Joe T Garcias.

I work at the Arena in Downtown. Some of my favorite nightlife places are Shooters, Havanas, Neos, Kenichi, West End Pub, and the palm. All within 1.5 miles of the arena.

Housing 4 visitors myself....looking forward to a great weekend! GO BLUE!!

Tracks 1,3, and 5 are essentially the song. It was originally composed by Dougie Maclean. Trust me, us Irish/Scottish know are music.

I hate the script Ohio, I

I hate the script Ohio, I hate the stupid stickers and how every player even the walkons helmet is covered in them, I hate how delusional they are, I hate how they all forgot about John Cooper, I hate that the greatest thing many of them ever accomplish is taking a picture with brutus the buckeye...I hate that they continue to breed simple minded idiots...Got it! Good!

At work late tonight....1/4

At work late tonight....1/4 bottle of pappy 20 year at home....at least one glass of that after 9-10 miller lites. 4-0....Life is good! Go BLue!

My seats are in section 1

My seats are in section 1 right next to the tunnel...Herron was visably limping as the team ran up the tunnel during warm ups. It looked worse at the end of the game...Cam is legit hurt....pinched nerve is what I am guessing...Jake Ryan is much better than I could hope for out of  a redshirt WLB....Byer to green, but give him time....Hawthorne is quick, but will get pummeled against MSU...NEB...OSU...2 more years boys....need the bodies...need the talent...not there yet.

CHills!!! That is what I got!! Can not Wait for Saturday. Damn fiance is making me go to a birthday party for a 1 year old that stars at 3pm....I have already told father of said 1 year old that I need a tv in secluded area...My time will be spent in the garage! GO BLUE!

I have seen over 100 games in

I have seen over 100 games in the Big house in 30 years. Tough to pick one. Here are my top 5.

 

1. OSU 1997-An undefeated season and eventual NC

2.MSU 2004-Roller coaster of emotions and so many sparty fans talkin shit in the 4th quarter

3.ND 1991- The Catch

4. OSU 1985-Harbaugh to Kolesar...I was ten years old and pretty much remember peeing myself I was so excited.

5.OSU 2003-Loved this team, Loved this game, I bet every OSU fan I know that UM would beat them by two touchdowns...Love it when a plan comes through!!

 

I am with you. Fitz has

I am with you. Fitz has intrigued me since his arrival. Would really love to see him break out this season.

Tubberville Just

compared Terrell to Randy Moss...If only. Nice to see a balanced attack on offense. Always wonder how good we would have been if Henson had played his senior season vs. playing baseball full time.

There are 35 days until I return to the big house since the 2005 OSU game! Been to long.

With a fine bourbon like that

With a fine bourbon like that who needs food?

save up for a few months

And get yourself a bottle. You will thank me later.

Thank You

for pointing out that coke is on the SIDE...damn sin to pour coke on a nice bourbon like that.

I buy spirits for a living

got a good deal. 80 bucks for a .750ml...Worth every penny. The finest bourbon I have ever tasted.

Still at work

But I have a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 20 year waiting for me at home....mmmm heaven!

I heard

Kevin Grady has been granted a 7th year of eligibility...Maybe he can be our downhill back

Dont Get me wrong

I would love to see the running game be more North south...just dont think we have the personnel to do it. Maybe we can do it against western and eastern, but Notre Dame, MSU, OSU, NEB...no sir Denard will have to wear his cape for those games.

To quoute Coach Hoke...

Tremendous!!

I understand the post

just fine...guess to answer the question IMO it will not be very vanilla. This team has been anything but Vanilla for 3 seasons...they will not be running downhill for 4 quarters.

No I dont belive I did....

Shotgun, bootlegs, etc are not what I would consider vanilla...sorry maybe I should have prefaced my comments with ice cream flavors or toppings.

Shotgun

Borges has already said we will see more shotgun than a normal pro style offense. Don't be surprised to see the read option several times. Lots of Waggle and boot leg plays as well. He knows he has to get Denard out of the pocket to be the ultimate threat.

If he was from Texas or

If he was from Texas or Florida he would be a 4* automatically...I still dont buy into how they rank these kids.

Fall Weddings

Got engaged in Feb. Fiance wanted June or September Wedding. June 2011 to soon and Luckily I was able to talk her out of September. June 2012 it is....Thanking my luck stars

Poker Face

RR and Greg Robinson know that the secret to success this season is being competitive in the big ten. After getting through those first 2 games why would we show anything on either side of the ball that teams have not already seen? Your offense can produce the points to win. Your defense will get the breaks. Stay the course...being 5-0 going into the MSU game is something that is within reach, but it is all for not if we go 1-6 or 2-5 from there. Keep your cards to your chest. Make the plays when you can. This team has the chance to do something special!
