Michigan Football Spring Game Open Thread
April 13th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
And Jake Ryan tore his ACL ... wait....... Crap.
April 13th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
No, he's going to Penn State with Trey Burke. I heard they bought a house there and everything.
April 13th, 2013 at 12:19 PM ^
And then Kate Upton announced she is pregnant with the spawn of Andy Katzenmoyer.
April 13th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Speaking of Spike I went to go find a picture for this post...and how can you choose amongst this greatness?
Here's a good article on him: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2013/04/11/jim-beilein-spike-albrecht-kate-upton-twitter/2075191/

You have to give the man credit. As your Google Images search reveals, his name is well on its way to becoming permanently associated with Kate Upton. It's like the postive version of a Craig James/hooker killing thing.

Who the fuck wears red to a Michigan SPRING game?

For real. If he's at the spring game in this crappy weather, he's obviously a dedicated fan. Red is just a color.
strange coming from a guy with blue skin and maize hair.
The blood in every vein of my body courses BLUE!
April 13th, 2013 at 12:52 PM ^
I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it's a Red Wing jacket.
April 13th, 2013 at 12:44 PM ^
...until I realized that it's 39 in Ann Arbor today. Whew. I'm sorry to me MGoAnnArborites.

The decision was made last year, I believe, for OSU to hold their SG in Cincy. A few reasons for this...not the least of which is a conscious effort to bring the OSU brand to a city in Ohio that probably has an OSU fanbase that is substantially less, percentagewise, than most other Ohio cities.
Still...I really dislike this. A lot. Cincinnati is home to a BCS conference team (despite what anyone may -- quite validly -- think of the Big East), and it's kind of a slap in the face to the Bearcats and their fans. The ones who don't also root for OSU, that is -- and there are quite a few of those. Tommy Tuberville is probably too old and too out of touch to raise any stink, but if I were the head coach of UC football, I'd publicly go on the airwaves and say "WTF." Cincinnati has been in a BCS conference for years, and although they will obviously always play second fiddle to the big bad Buckeyes, it's high time to stop playing nice in terms of any crossover fanbase concerns.
twice this week for meetings, the school topic came up in both meetings thanks to our presence in the title game Monday night. According to the guys in both meetings, Kentucky and Louisville have their share of fans in the Cincinnati area (more than OSU). That makes sense when you consider Kentucky is right across the river and that Lexington and Lousiville are both easy driving distance.
I live in Cincinnati, and that's absolutely the case. A lot of pull in different directions from several BCS-affiliated colleges -- and although not in the immediate vicinity, Notre Dame is certainly one of them. Quite possibly the most concentrated ND fanbase in the state of Ohio seems to be located smack dab in Cincy. Ah, lucky me.
I will say this, though -- I watched most of Michigan's NCAA tourney games at a local watering hole, and the Wolverine fans were out in full force. Kinda nice to see, and a little unexpected. I guess winning brings em out of hiding! I also noticed this in the days immediately following our wins in football vs. OSU in 2003 & 2011, and after the Sugar Bowl win...

Look how well the hiring of Smith from the NCAA director of enforcements has helped the suckeyes. Aurburn is another renegade outfit in need of some help to stave off the investigators.

I thought Russell Bellomy was a RS Soph?
I love it. Can we make the font smaller?
April 13th, 2013 at 12:45 PM ^
Why isn't BTN2Go available for Comcast?
That's my standard answer for any question involving a cable company, anyway.
April 13th, 2013 at 12:47 PM ^
Anyone have issues with the BTN2Go stream? All I see is the logo and the word "LOADING." Nice work, Delany.
April 13th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
I do too. I think it starts at 1PM
April 13th, 2013 at 12:54 PM ^
Question: If I have charter and BTN, do I automatically get BTN2GO? Its not working.
April 13th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
This is all I am getting. What the heck?
April 13th, 2013 at 12:57 PM ^
April 13th, 2013 at 12:59 PM ^
Is there some secret to getting BT2Go to work? That window where it says drag a score into this area to watch has never worked for me. None of the options are highlighted.
Turning off Adblock Plus fixed that for me.
Anyone have the Android app working? It has a banner saying with "Spring Football" and a picture of Michigan, but no working link.
It's live...
That said, I forgot how poor BTN programming is when it's not a marquee matchup.
In the leading segment they show Fitz's injury and a bunch of highlights of Lewan...none of them really blocking (they showed a facemask, a hold and a jersey grab).
We're not wearing the OSU jerseys anymore.
Solid orange with blue numbers...Adidas logo actually on the uni.
Just standard practice...
OLmen all growing their mustaches.
...just called Dennis Norfleet "David."
Has a huge club on his right hand...
