I'm not sure they can ban drones. Is there an established legal basis for it? I think there's been at least one lawsuit about a person shooting down another person's drone on his property, and I think the drone owner won it.

I don't understand the aversion to selfie sticks. I hate asking people to take pics of my wife and me when we go places.

This is terrible. BRANDON 2016.

No, Brandon would then rent out selfie sticks and drones - at exorbitant prices - at the games.
August 12th, 2015 at 7:33 PM ^
Selfie sticks should be allowed only for a day. The first 110,000 peoplewith them will be allowed in the stadium and then will be bombed. Then they wont reproduce little narrcisitic satan babies

So this means that dumb idiot who tried to make "Hail and Unite" a thing won't be allowed in either? He seems like a selfie stick kind of bro

Remember when Brandon tried to have a drone deliver the ball before the Utah game last year.....
August 12th, 2015 at 7:42 PM ^
People, David Brandon did not sit around and come up with every marketing scheme that happened under his tenure.
If ANY AD in the country is thinking about the delivery of a football game unless someone is going to pay his/her athletics department a shit ton of money to delivery the football, he/she should be shot.
Now it was likely Hunter Lochmann or whatever that guy's name was that thought of this stupid idea...but PLEASE stop with Brandon on EVERYTHING.
He hired the idiots that came up with many of this ridiculous ideas, but it wasn't him sitting behind a desk worrying about uniforms and football deliveries.
Learn what an AD does or is at least trying to do before we make these accusations/posts.
If Michigan did this next season, please please neither Harbaugh nor Hackett would have anything to do with it. There are more people in an athletics department other than the head football coach and the AD.

Not denying that...but let's not making it like it was actually him that thought of it.
Sorry, as an athletics administrator I just get offended because I've never met an AD in the country that would worry about something that stupid unless they were getting a huge check.
I've worked in the Big Ten, CAA, ACC, C-USA, American, Big South and Big East. Not one AD is sitting around thinking of some of these things we pin on Brandon.
Now again, he was the idiot that hired the idiots...so it's the "Brandon administration," but someone in his position is not worried about a football dropoff.

With the selfish sticks they can't take into the Big House? I was sad I couldn't easily find a gif of that.

My brother was an intern for the company that was making that drone. They wanted to have a drone because it was the aniversery of the aerospace program. The company was a startup from guys who had graduated a few years ago and spun out of their senior design projects.

My wife's girlfriend came over and was showing pics of her new house on her phone ... half the bloody pictures on her phone were selfies for god sake. This lady is FIFTY FIVE years old!
August 12th, 2015 at 7:40 PM ^
Thank God. Fuck selfies.

Word...
August 12th, 2015 at 8:10 PM ^
with fly drones and use selfie sticks. I imagined someone trying to do both at the same time

The lone dissenter is right now working on a compelling speech with lines like, "The selfie mode on my phone's camera is to the best of my ability" or something along those lines. Can't imagine a compelling reason to have a selfie stick at a football game honestly unless you really didn't give a flying you-know-what about the people around you actually trying to watch football.

BTW,
That's a very classy picture of the Big House.
Compare it with the cement prison that is Ohio Stadium:
August 12th, 2015 at 8:05 PM ^
I do believe an aerial shot reveals that other stadium to be a giant toilet.
August 12th, 2015 at 8:12 PM ^
Really?
I just don't see it.
August 12th, 2015 at 7:56 PM ^
the selfie stick is an abomination

OK. You are allowed to bring that to the Ohio State game.
August 12th, 2015 at 8:08 PM ^
Made me laugh IRL +1
August 12th, 2015 at 8:28 PM ^
You will visit me in the other "big house" when I wield my selfie stick during the OSU game? Excellent. Bring deep dish pizza please.
August 12th, 2015 at 9:16 PM ^
If you loan it to me for the MSU game, I'll already be in the other "big house" when you arrive. Bring some Uno's.
August 12th, 2015 at 9:07 PM ^
May need it for when the dregs come down from East Landfill too!
