I just called and talked to the person at the Penn State ticket office. He told me you can just purchase parking passes online through ticketmaster. We both agreed that would be easier.
The Michigan Alumni Club has the entirity of Sweet Caroline's in Fenway for games and this is by far the most popular and enthusiastic crowd for Michigan football and the occasional basketball game.
They do the same for Tavern in the Square (affectionately known as TITS) in Porter Square in Cambridge though it doesn't generally draw as big of a crowd.
I posted this a response to "A World Held Hostage: Mailbag", but it might make for a more interesting discussion here:
I don't know how likely of a scenario this would be and this is more of an interesting thought, but if we were to grab a defensive minded head coach, wouldn't it kind of make sense to try to bring back Calvin McGee and some of Rodriguez's offensive assistents?
We've seen similar situations play out with great success in other programs on the other side of the ball: offensive minded defensive head coach who has little or nothing to do with the defense, Oregon's Chip Kelly being the most prominent of which. While I'm not familiar with other coaching situations where the head coach doesn't have a lot of input on the offense, I can't see why that wouldn't make sense.
This is all assuming that Rich Rodriguez sits this year out and doesn't land another job this year, which I can't speculate on what his plans are. If Rodriguez takes another job, I would have to imagine that Calvin McGee and some other Michigan assistants would prefer to follow him there rather than staying at Michigan in the same roles under a new head coach.
I don't think this scenario is particularly likely, but you must admit that it is intriguing and it might be a way to get more focus on the defensive side of the ball without throwing away everything we have on offense.

Brian tried to create a metric to track this in last year's offensive UFRs, but I think he abandoned it after a few games because it wasn't very useful.
Not only is it incredibly difficult to determine what the correct read should have been in many of the situations when its not a simple matter of reading the defensive end, there was a great deal of debate about which plays were actual read options and which plays were called runs for either the running back or the quarterback.
Without knowing the actual play calls and the coaching points. This is almost an impossible task.

These are pajama pants, so probably not really what you are looking for, but something similar to this?
