WHERE IS THE HASHTAG???!!!

RELAX

Literally no one else cares about this but Michigan fans. Also, when did everyone become such a pro at marketing? I feel like Dave Brandon says the word and everyone all of a sudden knows everything there is to know about marketing a program/brand.

Is this football or barbie time? Play and talk about the dang game.

Bad dream?

I just had a dream Queen Latifah sang a song about Michigan football...tell me it was a lie. 

Sad, but its ok

We cant "preserve" every field any athlete has ever done anything on. This isn't Wrigley Field or Fenway Park. Yes its a cool thing but with no stands...this landmark for Michigan football was gone a long time ago folks. As in 1927. 

Its not fun to see it go...but we're not paving over the grave of Bo Schembechler. Just an old venue that needs replaced

I have a feeling Yost would have said the same thing. Im pretty sure he was all for building Michigan Stadium.

Second-rate?

I'd say 3rd at best...Under Armour (when they aren't playing microsoft word 1995 with the Maryland state flag, is making some really sharp uniforms now too (Auburn for example) ...

I know tradiitons live on, but it does suck to see other schools getting really nice equipment ... our jerseys look like theyre from 15 years ago. I dont get it. Adidas dominates the most popular sport in the world yet cant make our relatively simple uniforms just look sharp...

When M Den releases the new apparel for the year, Im not even excited, im just seeing how much worse it is than last year and how many stripes are going to be on everything...

Whats more frustrating

 

I personally dont care much about other teams jerseys...and I honestly dont get too upset about UM trying out new looks especially for big games. I have a much bigger concern that Michigan, adidas' largets contract team and (correct me if im wrong) the highest selling team merchandise wise, is being templated. 

All adidad uniforms are looking the same...not only in structure but also in creative elements (stripes everywhere, letters, etc.) ... this is one thing that the "THIS IS MICHIGAN" tagline truly supports. We are different and should be treated as such. Imagine an ad agency doing the exact same template for all their brands. They would be fired before the retainer could get signed.

Nike/UA has made some bad designs...but at least they are somewhat unique. I hate to see our team put through a template rather than an original solution.

BLUE

Cause of America and stuff.

I wonder more when "We" stop caring

Coaches can/probably have to start scouting even earlier now to build relationships...its a given and a necessary thing now that College Football is big business. I dont really have that big of an issue with it I guess. If a young man wants to commit, so be it. Although 4 years of Shane Morris-eque attention prior to arrival at UM would get really old really fast. 

Im more interested in when we, as followers of college football, stop caring. Seniors in HS obviously make sense to pay attention to, as does attention to the Juniors. But I really could care less about what a freshman in high school says. He could not pan out, injury, get a girlfriend, learn the guitar...

 

Imagine if John L. were PSU's head coach...

He could just keep using the quote:

"Im very upset...we should have been in the ball game...our players are trying their hardest and the coaches are screwin it up!"

 

 

Technically no, BUT

There's no rule against friends talking. Plus, even if they dont talk, they know him now and probably know if they would/would not like to play with him. Seems to be working well so far...

Recruiting Help Down the Line

It will be interesting to see Shane's impact not on only the 2013 class but the 2-3 classes after. He's done one helluva job recruiting, creating contacts for this class, but the contacts he's made at camps with younger athletes could provide more than we know yet! Future=bright and stuff.

Go Shane Morris. Go Blue. and fergodsakes Go America.
