Midnight musings: don't click here
Spring game draft is set for Thursday. It will be an actual game just like last year.
Maize vs Blue. Woooooo!
But the spring game is still a 6pm Friday night game. Booooooo.
Are you going?
Do you even realize the spring game is coming is the real question? Since the athletic department has released so few details on the game that it's like they don't actually want people to show up.

You do know that voting is back right? "Midnight musings" may not be a great title with that being the case
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:05 AM ^
Discuss.
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:08 AM ^
Wait, SBF are you Discuss Man???
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:44 AM ^
Shit. Double post.
March 23rd, 2016 at 11:00 PM ^
EPIC! +1 for you both.
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:05 AM ^
I'm going but I expect it to be one of the most sparsely attended games in recent years.
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:07 AM ^
Yes, Michigan held an open practice in Florida at IMG, tweets out dudes of the day, schedules a spring game at 6:00 on a Friday night so it won't compete with any other events on Saturday all in an attempt to prevent people from going to the spring game because...
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:12 AM ^
The attendance is going to blow goats.
I'd groan if it was 8pm but at least it would, you know, provide people a chance to actually get there from work and not sit in ass-to-ass (ASS TO ASS!)^ Friday rush hour traffic.
^(if you get that reference, you're awesome)
I'll be there because I have a part-time job that I asked off for 2 weeks in advance. Others might not be so lucky.
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:13 AM ^
Maybe it will, maybe it won't. We'll know around 6:00 Friday night.

Unless you live in AA there's no way you can be there by 6 and the temp after dark drops a good 15 degrees from the average 50 degree temp that time of year.
at which time the temperature was still 60. I'm not nearly as worried as you about it being a bit chilly for the Spring Game.
Besides, haven't most of us been at Michigan Stadium on Saturdays when the weather was a well below freezing? Or did you NOT earn your Michigan Fan Badge by attending games such as those gawdawful Northwestern games played in sleet/freezing rain/gale-force winds/snow?
I believe it was the 1995 Purdue game where we got maybe three of Michigan's four seasons in the span of about two hours from sometime during the height of tailgating to about halftime or so. It was a very mild morning, then the front came through with a 45-ish MPH wind and a shitty, cold rain, then it got really cold and that became freezing rain. Some of us got very ill after that game, but Fandom Endurance Badge Level 4 (maybe 3, it's up for debate) attained.
60 degrees when I left with my dad, uncle and cousin for the game... the forcast came over the radio shortly after we left calling for rain, turning to freezing rain and then snow... my uncle swore it would never get that cold for that all to happen... well he was wrong oh so very worng... my dad and I made it through the entire game, my uncle and cousin left at halftime and sat in the car for the rest of the game (they had different seats than us, no idea they had left the stadium)... worst weather game I have ever sat through...

Wasn't that the Ernest Shazor game? Wasn't at the game, but remember watching on TV thinking boy it must suck being out there.
Not the Shazor game, it was a 5-0 barn burner in our favor.
the things that i will always remember from that is that Chuck Winters uniform was spotless... he was the only guys on both teams that played in the game to have a clean uniform...
Throw in the completely screwed Ann Arbor traffic from the complete M14 shutdown...
The closure on M14 at Main doesn't help matters either. Evening commute on I94/M14/US23 is even messier now.

Requiem for a Dream? What a movie.
How come you know more about medicine than a doctor?
Believe me, Ma. I know.
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:32 AM ^
means half the people are going the wrong way
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:37 AM ^
Well. That day is April 1st after all....
Damn I didn't even think of that you're right.
wanted is nut to butt.
Puss to tush
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:37 AM ^
I'd groan if I was blowing a goat too. They taste like elmers glue but sour
Not surprised you know that.
The only question that is relevant in this thread is ... Do you wear your Michigan jersey to your job?
Is that Nebraska's new locker room?
I have a full time job (well it's usually more like 60-65 hours) and have it requested off. My fiancée is working until two, my buddy is taking the day off, and so is his girl. People will show. It may not be a record breaker by any means, but there are people MAKING time for this event.

Hey WD, why haven't Benn and Discuss Man been posting lately? Haven't heard from them in a long time. Will you please tell them that it's okay to come out of hiding now. Thanks!
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:22 AM ^
They're off trying to find themselves
They thought it was pointless.
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:22 AM ^
Then a late dinner and beer after it. Wouldn't miss it even though I need to take most of Friday off from work.
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:30 AM ^
this program has never cared about the spring game. i m hoping it changes but I'm not sure it ever will
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:35 AM ^
Are my points back?
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:42 AM ^
No. Points are an illusion created by Brian for the sole purpose to keep us on his blog.
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:38 AM ^
I like spring because that is when the snow dies.
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:38 AM ^
I'm discuss man
March 23rd, 2016 at 12:41 AM ^
U single babe?
I'm Robert Paulson.
Random thought of the evening:
Anyone else disappointed that Jim Harbaugh wasn't in Cuba with Jeter and the President?
Who the hell cares if anyone goes. What do u want WD, a record crowd that ESPN talks about? oh, wait...our ENTIRE SPRING PRACTICE has been the top CFB story all month.
Who gives a shit? If someone was going to go before then great they'll probably make it. If not, they'll watch on BTN. I doubt Harbaugh gives one fuck let alone two.
And I forgot to say, we set an IMG record crowd already!
How about half a fuck? He might give half a fuck. I'm pretty sure he's an all or nothing guy, though.

I would be at Ford Field Sat. but I will be bowling. We're in 5th place with 5 weeks to go!
