1 week 2 days ago	Bright side for Michiganders as QB's	There is always Tom Brady.
1 week 2 days ago	watch chad and fandango at the same time	I have no idea what fandango or that salsa dance is, but the music with chad's expression goes great together.
1 week 2 days ago	Jagr	Always follows the money. I will give the guy credit; he is consistent. He's played on so many teams he could retire with the whole league by this point.
1 week 2 days ago	Bettman	He came from the NBA. That league is ruined, but I think the good ol'boys network in the NHL keeps him from ruining this league too.
1 week 2 days ago	billeting kids	I lived in an OHL city (not Plymouth). I knew a few of guys on the team who went to the NHL, and they were 15-20 yrs old. Does that count?
1 week 3 days ago	No one seems to be talking about the article	Just sayin it's all about do we feel bad for them. I'm torn how to approach the story. It would never make the newstand nationally if it wasn't about PSU. However, I know high schools who have Orthapedic surgeons on the sideline at all events, so I think PSU seems to be slighting something. It isn't like the school is broke, so why would they not be able to hire a new OS if the old one and AD were fighting.    Heck I'm sure you could get one OS a week to volunteer at the games at the minimum. Seems like the idea about sports ruling the budget is winning, but I think the personal battle amongst egos is the largest issue here.  But I'm biased Hail to the Victors (and Pitt)
3 weeks 5 days ago	If Slippery Rock were in Deleware	They would be a great addition to the conference, a Rivalry for Sparty ( green S vs  green S), and the Deleware market could be added to the Big 14/10 market. (\s)
3 weeks 6 days ago	Heinz field	Check out Pitt at Heinz field on Saturdays. Seems like they have a lot of room for college football fans (\s)
3 weeks 6 days ago	What if Crosby was a Red Wing?	Would the Wings be first in the west right now?
4 weeks 4 hours ago	That Swope guy from A&M	got picked by the cardinals in the 6th round. He really had no business in the EA sports debate
4 weeks 5 hours ago	u won today	i wish i knew had to create stuff like ths
4 weeks 1 day ago	do u need me to prescribe something for your eye?	I preffer studying when to do a restoration on #1-32 much more than treating pink eye also.
4 weeks 1 day ago	what formation on defense?	Is that a 5-2?   Sorry I wasn't born until 88.
4 weeks 3 days ago	that was Wave	Not herm responding bro. get urself straight. look at how the guy writes. he doesn't use abbreviations like "ur" or "lol" etc. The guy writes with punctuation, capital and lower case letters, but he doesn't seem to possess the grammar skills that a younger person should have. My grandparents write worse when they use a computer because they are not used to editing their work w/o paper and pencial.
4 weeks 3 days ago	plain and simple	You made great points, but no one will care. you have my sympathy.
4 weeks 4 days ago	What about the line to the IU bball game this yr?	I saw that it started at 11 am and had 300+ ppl in line before midnight before the game.
4 weeks 4 days ago	Good point to bring up	I thought about the Greek dominance that may actually increase. I never had problems that ppl discuss on the board post yesterday, but I have heard ppl already talking "We can just have pledges show up super early and save us our seats."
4 weeks 4 days ago	Nice analysis Brian	Maybe I missed it on my first read, but did u not address the seniors who are getting somewhat the short end on the stick because they aren't getting priority seats and basically were a part of the old system? What is your opinion on their claim if you have one? From my perspective, these are the only kids that should get priority seats.
4 weeks 4 days ago	one day later	I agree with you. I think the best option would be to grandfather the new system. I'm in grad school now, had my turn up front, but it bothers me that the kids the next 2 yrs are getting "screwed." I also nvr had a problem with someone kicking me out of the seat I came to at the start of the game. Then again, I was a good person and sat in the seat I was assigned. So ppl complaining about getting kicked out of seat by drunk kids still broke the rules by not using their assigned seat.  Finally, I just don't understand why we didn't have any input on the system. I would be all in favor to change the current (now previous system). It was flawed, but the new one is also. They should have formed a committie with students and made a change that could be digested. Not one stuffed down throats over night by the man.
4 weeks 4 days ago	Much bigger deal	tix are now 300
4 weeks 4 days ago	You better believe I did	I love this game more than anything in my life. I spent every single one in my car except the last Sugar Bowl. Driving doesn't cost that much if you know how to budget your expenses. I can show you how to live on a budget if you'd like.
4 weeks 4 days ago	how about study time	Did you ever consider some of us do that?
4 weeks 4 days ago	sorry bro	those lower bowl front row seats went to grad students a lot. That is the only pro I see to this system. First year grad students always got tix in the first 5 rows to sell tix. It also was supposed to curb ppl storming the field. There were some seniors, but as a senior and grad student, I sat in those front rows a lot and know there are way more grad students than seniors. I don't think grad students with zero michigan credits deserve that priviledge, and that is the only positive i see from the GA crap
4 weeks 4 days ago	no it will be an issue	people will blow off irrelevant games ie CMU because they won't want to show up and sit in the upper bowl.
4 weeks 4 days ago	Hey leprechaun	Go back to South Bend. If you went to any of the bball games this yr, you would see that the students who showed up early never came to any of the other bball games, and didn't know the chants, how to act, or like the guy below said about Novak's reference. U are ignornant and have never experienced GA at Michigan.
4 weeks 4 days ago	sorry sir	You weren't in the student section at the bball games. You obviously didn't see that people came the night before to get in line. I had the time to do it once. Guess what? I saw people get trampled by a mob who pushed to get in the stadium first. Get some perspective or at least some info to back up your claim.
4 weeks 4 days ago	it's not about showing up late	It's about not having to show up at 11 pm the night before.
4 weeks 4 days ago	Important Note	Students at PSU are also assigned lines according to their class standing. I went in 09 and used a friends ticket. He had a better section (closer to 50) than the underclassmen (closer to endzone).
4 weeks 4 days ago	UR a duck	I never was late for the band coming out. I studied my ass off. I worked jobs. I cannot go out and live outside for 12 hrs before a game because I have a life. PS- I went to every bowl game. I'm an awful fan. yeah right. I'm just studious, low on cash and time, and I love the team. I don't get rewarded buying tix for the past 4 years. You are short sighted and never thought about the situation. Get a life.
5 weeks 23 hours ago	sometimes life	is not perfect. I am powerless to help or I would. I'd be happy to take over for Mary Sue if you are on the board.
