To get to the NC game was really special, and while it hurts to lose, this team righted the ship, set it on fire, and didn;t look back. Michigan has a real basketball program again, and losing to the #1 overall seed is nothing to hang your head about. Go Blue!

25 weeks 6 days ago	I always hoped we could do	I always hoped we could do better than "at least our helmet is not a shitstain". The issue is, people already own our traditional jerseys, and the only time they buy new ones is when there is a new player they can get. Well, new players come along too slowly, but Adidas can crap one of these jerseys out in a second and DB can sell a stack of them for fat profit even if it looks terrible. People want to be part of the fan experience and for a lot of them it means buying a horrible jersey they have a 50ish% of always relating to a defeat.   Does anyone look at the jersey they bought for the Alabama game and think "Man, this jersey not only looks great, but it reminds me of our awesome game against 'Bama!"

Looking forward to seeing them one last time tomorrow in the Big House. Go Blue!

33 weeks 5 days ago	Band Director Foobaw Knowledge	Oops, I replied to the wrong comment below. I think the key difference between the two directors is football knowledge. Speaking as someone who played for three years under Nix and one with Boerma, I think Boerma's focus is on creating a fine musical performance, but doesn't understand football especially well.  Nix really loved and understood football. His understanding was that our job was to rile up the crowd and help our team win. We may not have played at a symphonic band level, but we were loud enough to hear and the performances had a lot of spirit. He called for us to play the right songs at the right times, held us from playing temptation if it was clear the opposing team was going for it on 4th down, etc. I loved all four years in the MMB, and I have a healthy respect for both directors. However, I really believe today's band could use some of the push-the-team-on-to-victory spirit of the Nix days, even if the cost is a little bit of the musical proficiency.
33 weeks 5 days ago	People also forget the	People also forget the awesome Monty Python and the Holy Grail show we did.   The biggest difference between the band now under Boerma and before under Nix (imo) is that Nix understood the game of football better and knew what songs to play and the right times to play them. There also was a greater emphasis on volume, which I think is lackign these days. Good intonation is nice, but if no one can hear it, who cares? I'm not saying turn into UW's band and just blast away drunkenly at all times, but some volume to get more fans involved would be nice. It makes me sad when I'm in the stands and can;t really hear the band.
