Hidden in one of the articles is that the canopy will “focus” sound and light towards the field.  Neat idea and I’ve hoped Michigan stadium might consider something like that.  Our open bowl just lets too much sound escape instead of making visitor snap counts pointless.

sadly for NW, it could actually hurt the home team from time to time as every time I’ve been there the place is 40-50% blue.  I’m excited to see how loud it gets though!

Totally agree, it's time to assemble the blogosphere masses.

Seth - perhaps a front page article linking to a B1G officiating e-mail address to send our complaints to?  someone at Michigan as well?  Can we advocate our blog friends out there in the B1G to do the same?  

Can we rain unholy e-mail hell on people in a position to make change?  Sign me up for the "remove John O'neill army".

Having worked remotely with…

Having worked remotely with HDQ in NY and living in MI myself, I can say the answer is not great.  NY is one of a few states that has had a law on the books (I think there are 6 others currently) where if you work not in the state but from home "for convenience", then they get your income tax.  The state you live in would also get your income tax.  The problem is, not all "live in" states will give you full credit for what you have to pay in NY.  PA likely has reciprocity, MI of course did not.  Due to this I ended up paying a total state income tax rate above both MI and NY for a year because neither would completely count the other.  Yeah, NY wants to make sure they get theirs.  

My company had a Cincinnati office, so I requested to be based out of there to clear it up.  Now just paying MI taxes because OH doesn't have that BS law.

Anyone else been thinking in…

Anyone else been thinking in their head:

"I wonder if the flushing the economy down the toilet will result in more deaths (poverty/etc.) than if we just let coronavirus go?"

I hate the thought, but it's starting to seem like a real trade we've made.  

What are the chances of…

What are the chances of getting some of the shirts that are staying around in a women's V-neck cut?  The MgoWife loves to make fun of THE worst state ever, but only fashionably so.

Is the /CFB Risk game happening again this year?

Why are we not recruiting…

Why are we not recruiting more DTs/NTs?  In Mattison I trust, but.... it's just not looking as great for depth this year or the future as it has been?  

Lewan

Lewan for sure, and Schofield I think

Twitter

Banter between the faux Pelini account and the Goldy Gopher account. Then Goldy actually made a trophy.

Agreed

Perhaps our DL was expecting an easy go with this OL, which might be warranted. Against opponents with a more imposing OL, there will be alarms going off when they ALL burst right through.

Mongolian BBQ

I feel like I'm on my fourth bowl, but they just restocked the steak in the line. Most people would be overfull, but I'll just go back one more time for MOAR content. I can't quit you Mongo.

Avoid airport

Definitely ATM if you can.



I've also heard you can order cash to be mailed to you before you go. Haven't used this method, but sounded intriguing. Might be worth some research.

Miss you

MGoBlog: the place I can miss someone I've never met and barely know anything about. A mutual love of Michigan is enough.

Sioux Falls

I can't even. Grand Forks/Fargo is one thing, it's near the school, but there are zero college hockey fans in Sioux Falls. Moronic. Asinine. Enraging.

Does Mone count?

while the big man has had his hype train full steam ahead for some time, there aren't stats or even much playing time to back it up.

With our resident Robot Viking leaving to the NFL, I at least hope he breaks out and that hype train reaches it's ticketed destination, because we don't have anyone behind him.

Let's hope all our boys are

Let's hope all our boys are eating steak and milk for thanksgiving dinner today.

Wroblewski Hello?

Is there a recruiting profile out there? I must know his fake 40 time ASAP!!

Gentry as a TE

I was trying to make an effort to specifically watch his blocking, since that's likely the aspect he would have the most to learn. My hot take:



Willing blocker. Found his man, squared up, didn't shy away, and kept his feet moving. His pad level wasn't even that bad for a guy 6'8". Judging from who got reps when, it almost looked like he was even with skillet hands on the depth chart.



Eat some steak and drink some milk, might have quite the TE.

Not a double reverse!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for pointing that out!!

It drives me crazy when professional announcers confuse an end around for a reverse, and a reverse for a double reverse.  Get it right, you are paid to do this!

As always, awesome broadcast.

41-0

This could get ugly.

34-6

34-6

 

Sadly the shutout streak ends, but we hold them to only a pair of FGs.

34-3 Michigan

34-3

We'll score early, leaving us only a couple game minutes on M00N this time.

Draft is WAY BETTER

If you are in the Chicago area, you can get Not Your Father's root beer on draft.  Be careful though, it's 10.7%!  The difference between the draft and bottle is staggering, and the draft clearly is better.  It tastes nothing like a beer that strong, so that makes it even more appetizing.

A few select places around Chicago occasionally have a 20% version.  Lightweights need not apply.

Coney Island Hard Root Beer (Boston Beer Company (Sam Adams)) is the best I've found in a bottle, but still falls flat in comparison to the NYFRB on draft.

Agreed

I agree on the MN comments.  The gopher market is still a bit fickle.  They've gotten a steadier following since TCF opened, but it will go as the team goes.  If they're putting out sludge-farts for games and drop one or two, tickets will be easy to come by.

Also, just a guess, but there will be a last-minute spike in available tickets.  As Halloween parties get planned and on people's radar, they'll look to dump tickets.  A Minnesota football game is easily dropped from your day planner if something else pops up. 

Illinois job

Anyone else hoping the Illinois AD is watching this game?  It sure would be fun having Stitt in our conference.  Might actually make the B1G West interesting.

Caribou coffee

Real inspiration blend. Productive day ahead hopefully.

Hackett for the win.

No, he already won, now he's just doing victory laps.

Manny's MSP

Dry aged bone in tenderloin. I didn't know food could be that good.

Great Team! Pizza Time!

Muppets and pizza is the way to go.

 

Big Puppy sighting

I love McGary... facepaint and everything!  What awesome support for our Softball team!

Pay attention B1G TEEEENNNN

That's how you create a trophy. Ridiculous tweets.

Denard on KO

Sighting, but I'm confused. How did he not beat the ball to the return man?



Must have given the ball a head start off the tee.

Braylonfest

2004 MSU. It became so cold, so rainy, and miserable out with us way behind. So many left, but THOSE WHO STAYED got to see something special of a comeback. How I partied that night, pneumonia be damned.

Season tickets

I was having mixed feelings on renewing my season tix, but now I'm excited again to give DB all my money.

Decision time.

Besides watching M beat Duke tonight, and hopefully winning my fantasy league?



Probably spending time deciding if I should renew my season tickets. Piped in music, AD directed new "traditions", and increasing prices are arguments against. Diehard fan and Alum is the for.



Anyone know how good a stubhub journey did this year vs. season ticket holders? I am a bit scared to find out the numbers, and the beating we took.

Agree with double blue

On the Michigan bars in the area, but I'll still be there regardless!

He's a Jedi.

"I am not the receiver you want to cover."

ESPN2 announcers

Addicted to saying "Munchie Legaux". Do we blame them?

My listing was deleted.

Well this is no good. And I still have 2 tix with seat cushion in sec18 row 32 to sell. Down to $200 each.

Barcodes are different.

Just checked, not even close. Good luck, I'm sure the athletic dept. will help, I hope.

Whoa

How the? I don't?... Let me go look.

Yep- Catholic HS

But, it's also one of the better schools around, both academically and athletically. A lot of kids go there for those reasons, not just the religiousness. Don't think ND will have sway just because of the catholic connection.

45-9

Obvious winner is obvious. Shane even gets some mop up.

Noon game=breakfast.

Pancakes and sausage.



Put a flat skillet on the grill to do the pancakes, and wrap jimmy dean maple sausage in some tinfoil. Works great! I like to start early to get plenty of time in tailgating.

System derp.

I can't get in! It's like they didn't know they would get high site traffic. Obvious high traffic is obvious.

Must... Stay...positive...

The only thing keeping me from tears is knowing Cam is a senior with experience, and he did at one time show some promise. Got beat out because JMFR, obviously.



Please, Mattison, make it ok.

East-west shrine game

Big Will an Roh are on the West squad rosters. Good luck to them in their game as well. Let's go west squad!

Meijer

I bought the one available at Meijer, and was really pleased with it...and the price :)

Maryland Unis

Can we at least make it a contingency of entrance to the league that they stop wearing the vomit inducing uniforms they've had recently?  

State flags do not make football uniforms. 

Some of those 750 people will

Some of those 750 people will actually not be AFA graduates/fans.  The University of Michigan Air Force ROTC detachment is encouraging their alums to go to that tailgate as well.  Many of us chose not to do this, and do our own UM Air Force ROTC tailgate, but I'm sure there are quite a few UM fans/alums who went into the AF that will also be at that tailgate.
