This is the unveiling of a sculpture of Bo. Look who DetNews thinks our AD is. No wonder we get so much bad press. Even at a great thing, they screw facts up.

So they can't count.
That's a damn nice sculpture, though!
November 20th, 2009 at 10:23 AM ^
It has nothing to do with counting. More to do with the name of our Athletic Director.
Agreed on the sculpture. Any idea where it will be placed.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:29 AM ^
My bad, missed that. I was looking at who else was in the room.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:37 AM ^
That's no typo. That's a nasty little dig if you ask me.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:51 AM ^
Doc Saturday did the same thing in an article earlier this week
November 20th, 2009 at 10:56 AM ^
If it's a "mistake," then it indicates amazing ignorance and/or incompetence on the part of the News. Tell me again why I'm supposed to wring my hands over the gradual demise of newspapers?
November 20th, 2009 at 10:38 AM ^
I'm glad Ed Deirdorf and Raplh Brandstatter were able to attend.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:49 AM ^
I think the sculpture is awful.
November 20th, 2009 at 11:00 AM ^
I don't think it's awful, but it's definitely not as good as it could have been. It seems like they were trying to copy this picture, but messed up the look on his face.

"are" s/b "OUR"
(Sorry, but that one grates every nerve in my body.)

I apologize. In a hurry and didn't proof it. Sorry. It has been fixed, but bad to have a typo in a post that is about typos. Or maybe the DetNews' mistake was not a type and more of a purposeful slip.

On the 3rd floor of the UGLi there's an office with the name _____ Martin. Anyone remember/know what I'm talking about? I remember it throwing me off a little.
Also, has anyone ever figured out what's up with the Turkish-American Friendship room on the 4th floor? That room was never open. Ever.

Thanksgiving is probably not the best time of year to suggest that we befriend turkies.
/shows self out.

Terrific view of the bell tower over the Diag. Scott Martin is a science librarian -- maybe that is his office?

My firewall does not allow me to access the Freep site. Something about it being the equivalent of child porn.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:06 PM ^
It's the News
November 20th, 2009 at 12:14 PM ^
Did it say Ed Martin or something? I think they fixed it as it now says Bill Martin.
November 20th, 2009 at 5:28 PM ^
This is going to sound horrible. But I don't think the sculpture is very good at all. Bummer.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:35 PM ^
I think it's a pretty good sculpture. What don't people like about it?
