3 years 18 weeks ago	I am now a very, very proud	I am now a very, very proud "responsible" vuvuzela man.
3 years 24 weeks ago	Amazing food there, but for a	Amazing food there, but for a comparable (and less expensive) french toast experience, you've gotta bite the bullet and go to Frank's (on Maynard by the bike shop and dry cleaners, behind Nickels Arcade). While the food is very... greasy-spoon-like, the french toast is amazing.
3 years 29 weeks ago	Absolutely brilliantly	Absolutely brilliantly organized article. You're great at telling a story. Thank you.
3 years 29 weeks ago	Wrong.	Indiana.
3 years 29 weeks ago	Dibs.	If there's any way to call dibs on this, I do. I'll start working on it and hopefully have it up by the end of the embargo. This dark time needs to be explored.
3 years 29 weeks ago	We pride ourselves of a rich	We pride ourselves of a rich tradition, and through the late 50s to the mid 60s, we were pretty darn bad. Year Record 1957 5-3-1 1958 2-6-1 1959 4-5-0 1960 5-4-0 1961 6-3-0 1962 2-7-0 1963 3-4-2 1964 9-1-0 1965 4-6-0 1966 6-4-0 Two different coaches during that time too. And yet the tradition persevered. The team persevered. And we fans persevered. Let us continue to persevere, take the good and the bad, and stay true to the school and the team we hold so dear.
3 years 29 weeks ago	Sure, I'd be pretty darn	Sure, I'd be pretty darn confident he wouldn't be fired after only 2 years, because people with common sense know he shouldn't be. Bill Martin has enough common sense, or at least enough conservative old-school bones in his body to fall into this category. What we (as a discerning, educated, and mostly level-headed fan base) don't want to have to deal with is those who are not educated, those who are not aware of extenuating circumstances, those who are generally "old guard" folks, and those who are just very, very demanding of the program. They won't take a second year of "rebuilding" lying down, they'll complain and get riled up and then it will be "Michigan in Trouble" and "Fan Rebellion" and "Boosters kill baby seals in protest" in the Free Press. So if anything, this is a must win for us (again, as a discerning, educated, and mostly level-headed fan base), more so than for our coach.

3 years 30 weeks ago	Additional photos	All copy/pasted from my twitter feed. I feel like such a citizen journalist. http://twitpic.com/mu532 http://twitpic.com/mua5f http://twitpic.com/mubig http://twitpic.com/mubua http://twitpic.com/muc81 http://twitpic.com/mudxm http://twitpic.com/muen3 http://twitpic.com/mufb1 http://twitpic.com/mufnd Also, one of the photos can be found here: http://www.annarbor.com/news/ann-arbor-firefighters-battling-blaze-at-so... They've got it under control - U Towers didn't get much damage, just some 3/4F apartments had some scorching on the outside.

3 years 30 weeks ago	It started at the Miami game	It started at the Miami game last year, when someone claimed it was the sound of a Red Hawk. It caught on quickly. It's appropriate usage is when Michigan is short-handed, and the puck is in the opponent's zone. Whoooooping must stop when the puck crosses the red line towards Michigan's net. I haven't heard it outside of the student section - does it sound as absurd as I think it does?
3 years 30 weeks ago	For those looking for him,	For those looking for him, the last two times I've seen him, he's been in a blue hockey jersey. I hope that doesn't sound too stalker-ish.
3 years 30 weeks ago	About the horns	http://www.windycitynovelties.com/15030p/blue-stadium-horn.html I got a bunch of them online, and in the back of section 17, we played them. 12-14 people so far in our merry troupe. We have some tentative rules so far - namely, not while the real band is playing, very little during actual play (only dead-puck situations), and trying to mix in trombone-like songs to the extend-able horns. We're working on it. If you want one, and you're by that section, I think I could arrange to get one to you for cost.
