It's been a warmup tune since 2007 or 2008, replacing Salvation is Created (which I think was recorded on "Victors Valiant"). |

I'm pretty sure that was actually the Florida band playing Jaws, that's where the fans yell "Go Gators!" a couple of times at the end. |

MVictors did a whole series on the Little Brown Jug and it pretty firmly establishes that the Jug today is almost assuredly the same one as was left behind at Minnesota in 1903. They also point to the wrong ones in the video, the one on the right is a display replica, the one on the left is the real Jug that's exchanged.

I sit in a corner and I think it's probably the best view for a reasonable price. The end zone isn't bad, but I would get frustrated not being able to see how far plays went without watching the big screen. |

It's not quite the same for us and ND. We're locked into nine conference games, so we only have three other games we can schedule on our own. ND is locked into five ACC games but can do whatever they want with the other seven. Over half of their schedule is discretionary versus a quarter of ours. I would have liked to have seen our home-and-home with Arkansas as well, but our scheduling flexibility is tighter than an independent's. |
| 12 weeks 2 hours ago | 2011 Michigan vs. Nebraska |
The best I ever heard was during the second half of the 2011 Michigan-Nebraska game which we eventually won 45-17. There were a couple of Husker fans sitting right behind me, and to their credit they were still there as the rout was starting to become apparent. For whatever reason, there were a few empty seats here and there in my section, and Michigan fans were occasionally moving from seat to seat working their way to better viewing locations. One of the Nebraska fans loudly said "Man, people sure do get up and move around a lot here." To which an older (probably mid to late 60s) woman decked out in Michigan gear yelled back "If this was a more competitive game we'd all be stayng put!" The whole area erupted in laughter. A close second was late in the 4th quarter of the wild 2011 Michigan-Notre Dame game. When ND scored to go up with less than a minute left, the ND cheering section at the top of the south end zone began loudly chanting "It sucks/to be/a Michigan Wolverine!" After the epic three-play scoring drive, a great many Michigan fans cheered "It's great/to be/a Michigan Wolverine!" right back at them. |

| 19 weeks 4 days ago | Revolutions - from Mike |
Revolutions - from Mike Duncan of the excellent History of Rome podcast, he's going through a dozen or so historical revolutions. So far, he's done the English Civil War, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, the Wars of Spanish American Independence, and is currently wrapping up the July Revolution of 1830. Next will be the revolutions of 1848, and he has plans to cover the Mexican and Russian revolutions, among several others. Chewin' It with Kevin and Steve - hosted by two members of Broken Lizard (Super Troopers, Beerfest), they talk about their lives, performing comedy, and working in show business. They tell a lot of great stories, but I think my main takeaway is a pretty thorough understanding of how Hollywood works, both as a business and how movies and TV are made from writing through production, editing, and distribution. The Greatest Generation - a Star Trek podcast by two guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. Hosted on the Maximum Fun comedy network, the hosts are reviewing every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation from a comedic angle. More Perfect - from NPR, the hosts cover the history of the Supreme Court of the United States, including little-known cases, intrigue, mutual admiration and hatred among the justices, and more. |

Sadly true. Some people who sit next to me in Michigan Stadium are friends with Kenny Allen's family, and they said he got death threats after he missed those field goals against Wisconsin. |

The lack of an impactful running game, much of which stems from poor/middling offensive line play. |
| 42 weeks 2 days ago | The post-game thread on r/CFB |
The post-game thread on r/CFB is about 95% filled with fans from teams all over the country--including MSU, ND, and yes even some OSU--talking about how badly the referees screwed Michigan in this game. So this isn't sour grapes, the whole nation knows this was stolen from us. |

I had to go to Arborland today for something unrelated and it actually seemed like a normal day. I didn't go anywhere near Briarwood, but if I didn't already know it's Black Friday I wouldn't have been able to tell. |

Yeah, you're not supposed to get called for a penalty, but that's never stopped a Big Ten referee before. |

Upholding a proud tradition. In 1909, 250 to 400 (reports vary) of the crew of the USS Michigan (BB-27), which was docked at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, went to Franklin Field to cheer on Yost's Wolverines as they upset mighty Penn 12-6. Penn was the defending national champion and was on a 23-game winning streak.

They're not awful, but I don't really like the white pants. Also, I'm not sure throwing back to 1974 & 1975 is the best choice, since both years Michigan lost to OSU and finished second in the conference. |

Agreed. All-white uniforms need a white helmet as well to look good, such as Texas' road uniforms. |
