47 weeks 13 hours ago	Still a lot to do	Soccer support facility New pool for water polo Indoor rowing tank New track facilities, both indoor and outdoor Lacrosse facilities, indoor and outdoor and support Upgrades to weight training facilities and medical training for a lot of the sports Maybe some administration building changes? DB says he wants to close in the south end of the football stadium during his tenure. I assume they want to solve some of their parking issues too. Anything I'm missing?
1 year 6 weeks ago	Wasn't a very big crowd last	Wasn't a very big crowd last night since their 7pm start was the same as the hockey game.  Maybe 400?  A lot of people left at halftime to catch the rest of the hockey game with the score in Oosterbaan already pretty lopsided. Looking forward to the Michigan State game next Saturday.  It's at Birmingham Seaholm High School at 7:00.  Should be a great crowd.  State is pretty good this year.
1 year 6 weeks ago	But how can the NCAA confront	But how can the NCAA confront it?  Title IX is not NCAA legislation.  It is federal legislation that is enforced by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR).  It has to do with gender equality in all areas of education that receive any federal funding directly or indirectly, not just athletics.  Publicly NCAA administrators and athletic directors and probably even most university presidents have to toe the party line that Title IX is good legislation that has advanced women's opportunities, blah, blah, blah.  It's true that it has done much good.  But privately, off the record, I'd be willing to bet that most of them hate the way it controls how they operate.  Unfortunately, since it's a federal law, there is not much they can do about it. The solution to changing Title IX is political.  Elect a president and senators and congressional representatives who want to change it.  Good luck with that, by the way.

1 year 7 weeks ago	Brandon was there the whole	Brandon was there the whole game.  I was standing near him the second half.  Immediately after the game he went to straight to Coach Paul to congratulate him and they spoke for a minute. I thought Michigan looked a little tired tonight.  They came out flying, but ASU had fresher legs late.  Would make sense since ASU didn't play yesterday and UM played the #2 team in the nation.  ASU had three amazing players, and they all stepped up.  Plus Michigan hit a ton of pipes.  Misses are misses, but they were getting good shots in the second half and were centimeters from putting quite a few of those in.  If they had shot a little better, this game wasn't close even with all the things ASU did well.
1 year 8 weeks ago	UCSB was at full strength.	UCSB was at full strength.  Michigan wasn't.  First line middie Doug Bryant, who scored three goals last week against BYU, was out.  So was their top d middie, Sean Sutton.  This was complete domination.  Michigan just looked way more athletic and fast and physical and talented.  Great to see Dave Brandon there.  I got to meet him and chat for a second.  He was with his wife and some parents of lacrosse players who he seemed to know pretty well.
1 year 9 weeks ago	Or set up remote access to	Or set up remote access to your DVR (assuming you have a DVR nowadays).  Maybe cable doesn't allow this? but with uverse you can control your DVR from your computer or from your phone.  I think the satellite companies do this as well, no?
1 year 9 weeks ago	Pretty good showing last	Pretty good showing last night.  Pitt is not good, so a win is not unexpected, but they did completely shut them down in a game that easily could have been a let-down after the huge game against BYU the night before. Michigan State beat BYU Saturday night 10-7.  The first time Sparty has ever beaten them.  The April 16 showdown between UM and MSU at Seaholm HS is shaping up to be pretty good.  It may be the first time that game has ever been of the "anticipated" variety, given UM's total historical domination in the series.
1 year 9 weeks ago	I had the pleasure of	I had the pleasure of attending last night.  First time I've seen this year's team live.  Incredible start put the game away early.  BYU was HUGE and seemed pretty athletic.  One of their midfielders was listed as 6-6, 235 and a bunch of guys 6-3, 220 and over.  Quite a few small, quick waterbugs too, but Michigan ran by them and was more physical. If you haven't been out to see the lacrosse team play yet, go.  It's a great atmosphere, they are really good for their level, and it's a fun sport to watch.  Fast moving, high scoring, very physical.  I'm saying that as someone who discovered the sport fairly recently and has become a bit fanatical about it.
