If you were Athletic Director at Michigan....

Submitted by Blue boy johnson on

I would come up with a crazy mascot for the kids; not sure how I became a M fan as a kid without one.

At one point I would have put a beautiful maize halo around the Big House.

If I were to do a coaching search, I would consult this here blog. Erebody, erebody knows Brandon messed up the last one with his delays and missteps.

I would restore John U Bacon back to his front row press box seat. C'mon DB, Bacs is a good guy. You have to air the dirty laundry every 5 years or so, just to keep everybody on their toes.

I would have Buzz Lightyear jet pack into the Big House in a maize and blue space suit. How cool would that be.

Anybody else got rad suggestions? I will be sure to get the 10 best to DB. Suggesting a roundtable with Bacs, Carrismyhomeboy, The Last Hoke, and the Freep Carr-tel (shoutout to Tater), is not a worthy suggestion.

I would bring back Neg Bangs

Mods if this is a bad idea, ie stupid, and it certainly is, please delete.

Let me just preface this with the fact that I'm probably never going to actually be AD at any school, let alone AD at Michigan, but if I were I'd definitely use my power and influence to give the people more of what they want. Kate Upton. Edit: let me acknowledge, that's at least what I want.

Gordie,

I often agree with you, but not on everything. I like the jet pack ball delivery. I like the paratrooper ball delivery. They were both exciting to watch and I hope we see them again.

I would bring back Nike on the condition that our Pro-Combat special jerseys are our regular jerseys with matte finish.

I would allow TP back in the stadium

I would build facilities that rival Oregon.

I would sit on the 50 yard line with buddies and shit.

I would hire Fred Jackson to write my obituary

I'd find a better way to market the hell out of Women's Volleyball.  If they are playing well, they should be selling out Cliff Keen every match.

Speaking of which, I'd figure out something with Cliff Keen.  It's a nice intiment venue that's the perfect size for wrestling and volleyball (well, a little small when there's a big time vball match), but it is seriously outdated.  A top notch venue in that location should always be full of fans/students.

I'd curse myself for putting soccer off campus.  Seriously, I hated that decision. We all love football, but I don't understand why they couldn't have practiced off-campus so that soccer could play on campus.  Don't know how to fix it though.

I would have Montell Jordan's This Is How We Do It blast over the loudspeakers evrytime we score a touchdown in place of The Victors. It's hip and I'm the hip AD. The kids will love it.

I would get rid of the Adidas uniforms in favor of Nike.

If not the aforementioned, then I would never allow adidas to create alternative uniforms similar to ones they just created for Notre Dame.

Get ND off the schedule for 10 years.  We can sell the same premium price to face another top tier program.. maybe a 1 and 1 with Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee, etc.

Lo siento.    When we get them back on the schedule, make sure they're home when Ohio State is away, Lord knows the B1G won't help us with a balanced schedule.

I would hire someone to figure out how to turn off this weird auto-bold thing that intermittently plagues threads on this blog. 

Then I would do something trivial.

I would have dominos do a fly over and drop free pizzas every game before the 4th quarter.... maybe even cheesy bread... and cinnamon sticks....lets not get too carried away though.
