and somebody takes a gigantic dump in it tomorrow night.

I bet Kraft will start some stupid cross-promotion with UM that encourages Wolverine fans to have their photo taken in front of the noodle and then post it on Kraft's FB page, with weekly prizes of Kraft products given out for the best photo. Who doesn't want a case of free Mac 'n' Cheese in their pantry? Especially if it comes with a letter robo-signed by David Brandon thanking us for participating in the Great Kraft-UM Cheese-Off?

I undertand the angst but I don't think advertising is bad. It makes U-M money and it's outside of the stadium anyhows. But to each their own.

Now, tin foil hat time: Know what Dave Brandon's shift at Domino's & Kraft Mac & Cheese have in common? CP+B (crispin porter + bogusky). Dollars to donuts, that's why it's there.

What are the odds I could get 'injured' walking into it and sue the everloving shit out of the athletic department? Bet they think twice about noodle-izing the stadium again.

to make money...that's why we have top-notch facilities, BUT -

the noodle must go.  It is beyond all suckery and as someone pointed out already, something you would laugh at an opponent for.

Wow.  I can't wait until the entire concourse is covered in advertising sculptures.  Nothing says Michigan Football like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.  Next, expect a large box of Kix outside both endzones, and a giant hostess by the east entrance.

Thank you Dave Brandon.  Where will you put the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile?

And here I thought this was another "Mike Cox to fill Giant's void" post. Imagine my disappointment.

A bit ambivalent to be honest.  Advertising is the reality, it could be far worse than this.  Let's just hope Brandon can exercise some restraint as far as inside the stadium goes.
