3 weeks 2 days ago	Hear me out	I am a recent grad, as a student I made every home game in 4 years, and I have loved Michigan football since I was born. First know that I am for a change in the system, I hated get moved by people showing up late as a freshman and sophomore and I hate that the student section looks empty at kickoff. It's embarassing! I hate it! Because of this I have always said they should scan when students get their and the next year your ticket location is based upon your attendance and arrival time. However, let me explain why I am tired of reading these threads and listening to people on this blog whine about the student section. Here are the things I'm sick of hearing: "life isn't fair" in response to seniors who are getting royally screwed or "if you're a real fan you'll forget about tailgating", or "get there the night before and get front row seats." All of these arguments are complete crap for one major reason, they are admitting that this new system sucks too. All of you bitch about the BCS, the leaders and legends names, Maryland and rutgers, ect., ect (and for good reason), and I believe Brian and some of you come up with good changes to these very flawed systems. So, if I was to tell you the bcs was changing to a new system where the two best teams chosen by coaches poll would decide the national championship would you all say "wow what a great idea"? No, because although it may be better, it may not, it didn't solve the damn problem of no fair playoff! How about if I said we added Missouri and Iowa st instead of rutgers and Maryland, who would be happy? No one! So quit saying this is better for this or that reason when the plain fact of the matter is this new system sucks! Sure it might be a little better than the last one but it still SUCKS! We know what would work, and that's the system Brian has said for years (scanning attendance and time of arrival). Also, if I hear that it works at psu one more time I'll scream because I have friends that love psu football and HATED that system. Plus, they had different sections for seniors, juniors, ect. So it's not even the same. And anyone who says Michigan state does it so we should, all I will say to you is... This is Michigan fergodsakes! Now, to anyone who says "DB could make way more money by making the student section smaller, and the tickets are sold to students are sold way below face value, so don't whine about the price increase" here are my responses: You know how else we could make more money? UNIFORMZ and ADS IN THE BIG HOUSE. That's a terrible argument! You know what else is undervalued? The "salary" of the football players! Pay the football players what they earn and students can be forced to pay full price. Finally, for all of you saying the student section is too empty at kickoff (I agree), the student section isn't very loud (I disagree) and this system is going to change these for the better (I believe they both suck) here is what I have to say to you. You know who is really quiet, everyone outside the student section! I don't care how empty the student section is, it's way more of a home field advantage than all the old people who don't make any noise. You want to kick them out too? Make their seating like the students? Or do they spend enough $ to give them the option of being terrible fans while the students who pay 20 to 55 thousand dollars a year get kicked out? This football team is part of the university of Michigan. Guess what keeps that university open and allows it to have a football team, the STUDENTS. So cut them a break. /end rant
3 weeks 4 days ago	Football I get, as long as	Football I get, as long as they make it less for next year. This year you get every good game minus MSU. Basketball is a lot better with a great schedule. Overall though, the students are paying a lot already this is a little ridiculous. I guess it's supply and demand at it's finest but this will be the 2nd thing I'm not thrilled with DB about. Overall I think he has done amazing...add this to uniformz.
3 weeks 4 days ago	As a recent grad, I'm sorry.	As a recent grad, I'm sorry. i can't believe they didn't give the seniors their front X rows or something. Overall it's a good system but I'd be pissed since I had to get thrown out of "their seats" midway through the 2nd Quarter as a Freshman and Soph.
3 weeks 4 days ago	That's the thing. As a recent	That's the thing. As a recent graduate, i hate the idea of turning it into Paternoville as I believe I had some of my greatest memories tailgating on Saturday mornings. However, as someone who was late to one game (missed about 2 plays, I'm sorry) in 4 years, it pissed me off that I was WAY behind people showing up in the 2nd Quarter or being told to move by people because I just happened to be in their seats.  Here would be my possible solution to make this work well, don't let a line start for the game until 1 hour beforehand. That was, there is no ridiculous lines that ruin your chance to enjoy college tailgates, butttttt if you want a good seat, get your ass there on time. Sorry to hate on Greek life but they were some of the biggest offenders.  I really don't see this being a problem except for marque games. Your 10 minute rule would get you dogshit seats for that game and I don't like that.  The people I do feel bad for are Seniors. If this happened to me I'd be furious, I paid my dues when i would have been able to get up close. At least all I had to do was get there 15 minutes early to get my guaranteed front row seats as a senior.  Does anyone think they could implement a system like this? Where the line isn't allowed to start until a certain time?

4 weeks 20 hours ago	Am I mis-reading	Am I mis-reading something, are they calling Gardner a Junior to be? That would mean he gets his redshirt, is that at all confirmed yet?
6 weeks 5 days ago	Yeah I fear the team we play	Yeah I fear the team we play next most. And 'Cuse looked great against IU. I think Belein is a much better coach and will have our guys much better prepared for their zone than Creen did, but their length scares me.  I guess the fact that you feared FLA more than KU is very odd to me. KU was our worst possible matchup.

18 weeks 13 hours ago	Thanks that actually helped a	Thanks that actually helped a lot.  So far I have just been posting my links to Facebook and Twitter and have actually had a lot of traffic that way. Just started it Tuesday and am getting around 500 hits per day which i was told was good. The problem is I know most of those people so they don't give me honest responses. That is why I decided to post it here. I know the crowd here isn't shy with their kind words so I wanted to get some real advice.
18 weeks 13 hours ago	No I was looking for some	No I was looking for some pointers. I appreciate your honestly and I'd much rather be told I suck now than continue to keep writing crap. I will work on the Kate Upton visuals as it seems to be everyones biggest request. Figured I'd leave that up to Magnus though. Thanks for the response to my post though.

Figured I would get some advice wasn't looking for clicks since this is a Michigan blog and that's not what I planned on doing. But sorry guess this was a bad idea.
