| 45 min 49 sec ago | On the Fab Five front I |
On the Fab Five front I agree: the games are vacated but, they still happened. The redaction of the games from the record does not force a redaction from our minds. Michigan has decided to do its best to forget an era that grew the brand in ways that had not happened before and is probably unlikely to happen again; here's hoping, though. Without the Fab Five, Michigan looks a lot like Notre Dame. Sometimes that is good, but not all times.
Ever since the whole Fab Five doc kerfuffle went down I started, stopped, re-started, then abandoned a diary on that stuff because I found myself writing about a lot of things but most of them had little to do with Michigan and I figure most people here wouldn't be interested. The era grew out of an important episode America's solcial history. The Fab Five were significant way beyond their exploits on the court.
The banners should be public. Put them on the concourse. Turn them upside down. Make the episode an anchor for the values we all respect. Turning our back on it is...just weak.
Anyway, I take Jalen at his word. He's intelligent enough to understand the decision and not have it affect his feelings about Michigan. |
| 1 week 3 days ago | I hear you but Junior bailed |
I hear you but Junior bailed Denard out plenty. Roundtree's miracle had more to do with that poor ND corner than him. Love Tree, but there's no way he should have ever caught that ball. His body control and hands are being underrated. Pinning out passing game on a true freshman or a position convert and being optimistic about it seems crazy to me. I like it, but it's crazy. Anyway, I dont think we can just shrug off the loss of Hemmingway. And Denard's passing...man, I dont see him improving that much. Maybe a few less INTs and a few more points in completion percentage. His rating was 140 last year, how much more does he really have in him? Frankly, I think any improvement he shows will be subjective in nature, he'll look like a better QB. But in terms of Michigan's passing game actually taking a step forward, I just dont see it right now. It will be fine, just not spectacular. |

Need to go 3 - 1 at ND, vs. MSU, at Neb, at OSU and not screw the pooch everywhere else? Mike Martin was pretty special. Who's going to be Junior Hemmingway? David Molk was damn near flawless... Oy. Seems like taking the over would be a bet against the schedule rather than bet on Michigan. I lean to the under. Might be interesting to take a bit of this apple and see what happens. |

| 2 weeks 2 hours ago | Turnt Up |
I think the band could blow the doors off with a good enough arrangement of Turnt Up by Roscoe Dash. I know there are mixes of it that use trombones already so, its not even a stretch. Other viable Band arrangeable rap song: Tech9 Has some good ones, too. Just need non-squares making decisions. Good luck with that. |

The whole tryout deal sounds dumb and all but the claim made in the lawsuit is nuts. Unfortunately I can see the case being made that public tax money is spent on facilities and whatnot and given the budgetary pressure put on public districts blah blah blah... end game: no more HS sports and everything goes to AAU type club organizations. |

I tackled some of the questions posed in this post in a diary I wrote back in the day when I wrote diaries. Several other diaries I wrote that summer applied the ideas to a reasonable degree of success. Anyway, check it out if interested. |

Moneyquote: What we're building is a religion, not a company. Religions make plenty of money, yo. More than most companies. Apple's success is derivative of both its good products but also its legions of zealots. So, which came first? Alas, Michigan already has legions of zealots and those will never ever be alienated to the point where its a problem. Regardless, all of these suggestions are reasonable, practical, and would not hurt the real brand Brandon is trying to build. Some of these other experiments we've seen? Yeah, I think they do...just not enough to be a problem |

That good and all but the real important question is: is he a five foot freak? |
| 25 weeks 23 hours ago | What of the flooded market on |
What of the flooded market on stubhub then, Is that a scam too? I must admit that I found the craigslist thing to be hard to believe but the criticism that these neutral games are way less marketable than they are purported to be by bean counters is compeletly valid. TV is a different story, and I'll definately watch. The matchup also probably has something to do with it as well. |
