18 weeks 5 days ago	DB says "no way" to "old" road uniforms	I actually exchanged e-mails w/DB regarding old road football uniforms, and in particular, bringing back the "Harbaugh/Lytle" road jersey.  I dissed the "apron-spring" pinstriping we have right now; just not a real Michigan look to it (more West Virginia).  Either I wasn't clear or DB misunderstood.  He said in no uncertain terms that Michigan would never wear uniforms it wore "25-30 years ago" because of technology; safety; etc.  I replied that I didn't expect Adidas (or whoever down the road) literally make the "same" uniform, but rather, that while incorporating changes in materials, etc., the uniform "looks" the same (it doesn't matter that both are Nike schools).  As I pointed out, USC and Alabama to name a few wear the "same" jerseys they wore decades ago.  I assume however that the materials and such are modern-age.
2 years 5 weeks ago	Yes, and it still hurts so much.	The post does indeed put a lot of things into perspective.  That said, I'm just sick over this loss.  We played so well on Thursday night against a team supposedly superior to the newly-crowned national champions.  On Thursday we played with great discipline; focus; and calm.  That can't be said about last nights, Red's justifiable comments about the referees aside.  The most casual college hockey fan knew going into this game that staying out of the penalty box was a key for Michigan.  We just took too many "stupid" penalties.  This drained the forwards because they were chasing so much, and prevented us from doing any sustained cycling of the puck.  Why do you think Melrose kept yapping about Hagelin and Louie not doing anything insofar as scoring? My son is a fifth-year senior at Michigan; he's going to graduate the end of this month.  The last time we won a national championship he was in fourth grade.  That's my frame of reference for how long it's been since we won the whole thing.  Too many great players and great teams have come and gone without getting the ultimate prize.  In no way does this fact doesn't diminish their accomplishments.  What it did do was to get on You Tube this morning and watch Morrison's OT goal in '96 and Langfeld's OT goal in '98.  For a moment I again remembered/felt what's it like when it turns out like we all wished and hoped, and perhaps expected, having gotten this far only to fall short.
2 years 17 weeks ago	DL coach?	Glen Steele?  Makes sense given his history with both Hoke and Matty.
