Thanks for posting this. Does anyone know if they're going to be replacing the exterior of the scoreboard at all (i.e. the large block M that reads Michigan across the center) or is it just the screen/sound system?
This seems like a great opportunity to do so given Brandon's commitment to phasing that logo out and replacing it with a simpler maize M.
I love the app and use it daily, but here are a few of my thoughts:
-I definitely endorse the larger font option idea. I still think it's a bit small to glance at or peruse quickly.
-I'd consider making the colors a bit cleaner. The interface sort of has this depressing look to it. Gray, light yellow, and whatever blue-grayish abstract backgroud is in there doesn't really generate the greatest aesthetic effect.
-The app's icon should be a bit flashier. I realize their are issues with using the actual 'M', but maybe adding a white background to the app? Or perhaps a blue background and white text (I do dig the yellow M, though!)
-Is it possible to let us copy/paste from within the app? Or how about see the url where a respective post is located? I think something necessary for an app that shares news/blog posts is the ability to share content easily.. thus driving others to the site.. driving up traffic.. so on and so forth.
Would it be possible to add an option for font size in the future? Maybe something like small, medium, large. It's still too tiny for my old eyes. Also, what's up with the blue-grayish abstract screen? I feel like the app's interface could be more aesthetically pleasing. I also think a white background on the icon would kick ass.
Does anyone know if there is an iCal/Google Calendar/Outlook calendar anywhere with the Michigan Hockey schedule for the upcoming season? I've googled pretty extensively to no avail and it's a bummer the athletic site doesn't support any of the above. Could someone (read: rational poster not screaming about losing to sparty [we're still 5-1..]) kindly start a message board thread containing this message?

FYI, to everyone in Philly, we, the Alumni Association, have moved official bars to Q's BBQ on 2nd and Chestnut in Old City, Philly. It's a better setup with better bar prices...
I'm pretty active in the Philly Alumni Association and we decided we're not going to do Fox and Hound anymore. We've had a few conflicts with their management and generally don't feel like they cared enough. So we've chosen Q's BBQ in Old City on Chestnut between 2nd and 3rd. They're committed to being a dedicated Michigan bar and we'll never be competing with other events or background music. I think they'll offer us a pretty solid setup overall. Plus better drink and food prices. If you want more info and/or want to be included on our distribution list, email [email protected] and say as much. Tell your friends!

I'm going through withdrawl...
These "who to cheer for" guides are great and all, but really, they won't matter one bit if we lose.
Good lord, I meant to say "there" instead of "their". Apologies all around.

Count it.

Excellent work, guys! (I posted earlier wondering if anyone had one going, but I don't have enough points to start my own thread.)

I really like the Dear Diary section and I'm glad Brian has given you the rein to make this awesome!

If he can't come back and be 100% this year (and it's obvious he was nowhere near 100% vs. BGSU), I'd rather him go for the MR and heal up completely.
I'd love me some larger font. Especially on the landscape.

Any yeah, we were hopping on tables.
