This is not the overall goal…

This is not the overall goal, just what they want to get from this collective with the public, non-whales.

Yeah, I only know I got…

Yeah, I only know I got tickets in the "$400 level" and I've seen people mention a $225 level and a $325 level. So I wondered if the $400 level is at the top of the list or if they get more expensive.

(I only "care" because a buddy might join me and I want to tell him what his $400 is "buying.")

I got tickets through a…

I got tickets through a family member who is a season ticket holder. He told me the seats are "$400-level" tickets. Is that the highest level? Trying to figure out where my seats might be.

Hasn't it been said multiple…

Hasn't it been said multiple times by multiple good sources that the Weiss thing has nothing to do with the so-called "sign stealing" thing?

That was for going to 1 game…

That was for going to 1 game, not 30+, though.

No they didn't. And Livers…

No they didn't. And Livers sat on the bench and was standing in the locker room. He's hurt but not a broken foot. 

he died a year ago.

Slow your roll.

Slow your roll. 

Near the start of the interview, JM says Don Brown is an old man and someone (Angelique?) jokingly replies with, "You know you just got benched?" 

i can't see him putting out…

i can't see him putting out that statement and being fired. 

Highly unlikely.

Highly unlikely.

When are we going to play "Harbaugh quote or Smiths lyric?"

 

"My soul is happy wherever my body takes me" seems like a perfect Smiths b-side.

i'd love it if

this were a thing done each week.  i mean, not questions from msu fans each week.  i can only take so much but...

not gonna happen, but not for the reason stated...

"PS: There are way too many people interested in cost-control* for this ever to happen, but the real answer here is to eliminate scholarship restrictions.  Then, you would never have to accuse coaches of pushing out one recruit to land another, because the schools that could afford it would just accept both and let competition win out.  (The downside, such as it is, would be additional playing-time transfers, but there'd be more confidence that playing time was the actual reason)."

 

you do realize that this used to be the case, right?  you used to be able to offer as many scholarships as you wanted.  the byproduct is there would be the same 10 schools in the top 10 every year.  remember when it was the big 2 and the little 8 that made of the big ten?  that was due to having many more scholarships to give out.  the reason the NCAA won't go back to that has nothing to do with cost-cutting measures.  it has to do with parity.

but when you buy a ferrari

but when you buy a ferrari you are buying much more of a known quantity then when you buy tickets to a watch a college football team.

now, if you got to the game and there was no seat for you or there was a post in front of you or no teams showed up, sure you'd have a complaint.  but when you buy tickets to see a college football team, you are buying something very unknown.  the team might go 12-0 and they might go 0-12.  

you can still complain about the product, sure.  but it's your choice to buy the lottery ticket that is a ticket.

this makes it sound like the

this makes it sound like the paying fan has no choice in the matter.  you think prices are too high?  then don't buy the ticket or the hat or the cable package.  brandon doesn't set those prices, we do with what we will buy at what price.

it's true that DB doesn't set the price of tickets,

the market sets the price.  if tickets were $100K a game, very few people would go.  there is a point where tickets are TOO much.  but we aren't there.  and DB sees it as his job to make the most money on tickets.

i think what rubs me the wrong way is the way he's going about it.

the west coast might be the best place to be a michigan fan

i see all the games on TV.  some of them start at 9a so i can watch them, feel like shit AND have the rest of a saturday to make up for it!  i never spend money on tickets.  i never run into an OSU or MSU fan.  and the notre dame fans out here do realize even michigan beat them.

 

when i lived in michigan for 25 years i went to hundreds of games.  but i left the state before things like a PSL existed.

when i watch games now, i am happy that so many of you spend hard-earned money to see our university play.  am i a bad michigan fan for being glad i haven't spend a dollar on tickets in 10 years?

nice offer list...

he's reporting a very impressive offer list, including usc, notre dame, osu, oklahoma, oregon, etc.

it's tom mach, fwiw. not tom mack. *

question about eligibility

you mean:

 

Eligibility. Anyone whose career finished up in 2005 or EARLIER in those three sports. 

 

Right?

but a player can't be moving

but a player can't be moving toward the line of scrimmage before the snap.

do i understand the rule

do i understand the rule incorrectly or did we get away with a false start on the sweet, awesome and amazing game-winning FG?

that song was on the radio in

that song was on the radio in the detroit area in the mid-80s but all or at least parts of it are much older than the mid-80s..

CBC clip

anyone have a link tothe CBC's call of the donovan goal?  or easy-ish instructions to dancing around the fact that the CBC won't let you watch clips if you have a non-canadian IP?

who will we play next?

anyone have the breakdown of who we will play next, based on today's results?  hoping not to play the germans.  what are the permutations?

link, please?

anyone have a link to any further info on the MSU fight/melee/donnybrook brian mentions?
