Dave Brandon To Announce Something "Historic" On Friday
Dave Brandon will announce a 'historic event' on Friday that will soon take place at Michigan Stadium

Most people on twitter are assuming this is some kind of soccer match. The tweet basically says it all, what "historic" event do you believe Brandon will announce?
While you think about this historic event, that you'll no doubt not want to miss, here is a video of the early enrollees for your viewing pleasure(found right below this post):
I get so tired of the implication that every time someone has a differing opinion people from the other side of the debate accuses everyone ofr"group think" or being sheep or things of that nature. The fact that we have these debates makes it painfully obvious that people on this site have differing opinions and the whole sheep things is ridiculous.
I wish we could just face the fact that on a site with as large a following as this, people are going to disagree. It doesn't make anyone a bad person or a mindless moran, it's just the way it is.
So you like Dave Brandon, that's great. Personally I don't care for the guy and while I can admit EVERY SINGLE MOVE he's made hasn't been stupid, I find the bad outweigh the good where DB is concerned. We disagree, that's life. It doesn't make either of us stupid or sheep, we just have differing opinions and the fact that I agree with someone else on this site doesn't prove the groupthink crap we keep hearing about.
Seriously, let's just enjoy the fact that this blog caters to a diverse group of people who come from different backgrounds and have different ideas and opinions and encourage the debate that occurs because of that, not try and stiffle it by accusing anyone who disagrees with you of being a sheep.
/end rant, I apologize.
No it doesnt. It implies that the person assessing the feeling has issues with it, primarily that its more about its mass appeal than foundation in actual events.
but even he couldn't do a worse job than David Moyes has done. As a ManU fan I would consider DB an upgrade....
They fucked that promotion up so bad I don't think they'd even be able to fill the stadium anymore. The fact that they couldn't make that fight happen in 2010 or 2011 when the world was DYING for it is why boxing is almost impossible to take seriously as a sport nowadays.
It would be cool if basketball had a home game against a rival at Yost and they wore like old 1950s throwbacks for it. Like a heritage classic game.
The tightness of the seats for a bball game inside Yost would make the atmosphere electric
Canteen looks quick!
"Please not soccer"? You don't have to go, you know. And it's not like something is being bumped for this.
done that in 1971. I wonder if Don Canham was excoriated for trying to make a buck by renting out Michigan Stadium. After all it was his idea to bring the Detroit Lions and defending champions, the Balitmore Colts, in for a pre-season exhibition game.
My own personal hope is that Brandon will announce that we are going to see the stadium filled with water and, for a nominal fee, we can see recreations of historic sea battles inside the Big House. Imagine what a novelty it would be to have Slippery Rock return AND a reenactment of, say, the Battle Of Trafalgar inside of the same month potentially.
Kickin' it old school. And that would certainly be historic, but not enough of a WOW! moment for Brandon. I'm thinking it's bigger, but also more plebian, to attract more revenue: a NASCAR track (a throwback to the chariot races in the Colosseum); a WWE Raw extravaganza (bringing to mind the gladiator fights); or monster trucks (which have no equal in all of history).
Live Human Sacrifice.
I've seen Reality TV. The public is ready for this.
I used to work at a managment company. The partners told me about this meeting with a horrible person of a producer, there was some off handed joke they made about what if there was a show that followed depressed people that were going to off themselves. Horrible producer got really excited and started spitballing what the actual show would be. They had to tell him they were joking and did not want to create a show where people took their own lives.
Assuming you mean the Colosseum in Rome then I'm pretty sure there were no chariot races there. The venue would have been much too small. I think the circus maximus would have been used for chariot races, but don't quote me on that.
With the facts.
If they did the sea battle on Slippery Rock game morning, the field would certainly be slippery.
But I'm thinking gladiators. Great way for the Athletic Department to purge the guys who might, say, advocate a union.
I was thinking in terms of Rome v Carthage reenactments in the Coliseum using minature triremes.
Wouldn't have to pump water in, would just have to stop pumping water out.
1st statue of a person on campus?
Well done...but this get's unveiled on Friday as well. Is there a picture of the new statue online anywhere or in any of the newspapers?
Will break ground at the old Edwards Bros printing site (down State Street)
The halftime show of The Horror II is going to be a Pop Evil concert.
I just know it.
WE'LL SELL YOU THE WHOLE SEAT, BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED... THE EEEEEEDDDDDDGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEE!
ND wins at UM Stadium?
That train left, Bucko.
Too bad they won't have the chance.
Are we finally getting the Wolverbear Mascot?
He has decided to replace the student section with billboards?
At least then there will be something to look at in that section.
BURN!
