Regents approve locker room updates
I’ve been sitting on this one for a bit, but a few weeks ago I got a chance to see some of the mock-ups in progress as they were debating different designs, but the locker room is getting a much needed refresh:

Massive individual lockers with shoe storage, flat screen nameplates, barber shop, bowling alley, all new lounge; if you’ve seen the locker room recently, it was waaaay behind the competition.
It doesn’t show it in this video but basketball should be getting similar upgrades.

Golf simulator? Did they send Shea the suggestions box?
October 20th, 2023 at 9:40 AM ^
That was my first thought too!
It was brought up by either Gus or klatt in a recent broadcast that the o-line loves golf. I'm guessing more than a few of the players will enjoy the simulator.
Incredible looking locker room. Would be the world's greatest man cave (or she shed).
October 20th, 2023 at 10:58 AM ^
It was probably named after him.
October 20th, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
If only they had the golf simulator in 2018-2019! Shea would have spent more time the practice facility and could have learned to read a defense.
Or maybe Shea was using golf as an excuse to get away from Josh Gattis. Wouldn’t blame him on that front either…
October 20th, 2023 at 9:22 AM ^
Keep Jadyn Davis away from that golf simulator!
October 20th, 2023 at 9:25 AM ^
No stripper poles? lame
October 20th, 2023 at 9:49 AM ^
Also needs a full service bar and cigar lounge.
October 20th, 2023 at 3:17 PM ^
Needs the Coming To America "ball washers".
The 5* penis is clean JJ
October 20th, 2023 at 9:29 AM ^
How could they? With all this scouting going on?
Who knew exporting BPONE would wreak such havoc?
October 20th, 2023 at 9:31 AM ^
Is this Warde getting ahead of the game and giving the team a better place to hang out when he proactively self imposes a season long suspension of the program?
October 20th, 2023 at 10:49 AM ^
If a low level staffers shortcomings are the reason for a major punishment, then Warde should suspend himself without pay for a year. After all, he is the boss.
October 20th, 2023 at 11:45 AM ^
Warde did this again? He should suspend himself and finally come clean! He should not sign his own extension as well. For the sanctity of his beloved alma mater.
October 20th, 2023 at 5:34 PM ^
What is not shown here is the massive remodel that will be done to Wardes office - complete with his very own Old Country Buffet serving unhealthy food 24/7.
October 20th, 2023 at 9:33 AM ^
Will the new locker room have a beer tap & full service bar?
October 20th, 2023 at 9:46 AM ^
Not if Abigail O'Connor has anything to say about it
October 20th, 2023 at 9:44 AM ^
Damn, that's bad ass, wish my basement looked that good!
October 20th, 2023 at 2:10 PM ^
Hell, I wish my living room looked that good 😕
October 20th, 2023 at 9:52 AM ^
Wasn't there a local barbershop in town where players & staff used to frequent for their cuts?
October 20th, 2023 at 10:04 AM ^
Bill the Barber is probably who you're thinking of. Perry Vitto also cuts a lot of staff hair.
October 20th, 2023 at 9:59 AM ^
Where's the Matt Weiss memorial computer crimes lab so we use our AI powered spy cameras that can steal everyone's signs and schedule unsanctioned burger meetups?
But seriously this looks nice.
October 20th, 2023 at 10:06 AM ^
Call Dudek, he might know
October 20th, 2023 at 11:00 AM ^
....or the sign stealing video room?
/too soon?
October 20th, 2023 at 10:01 AM ^
The bowling alleys feel like an attempt to keep Sainristil around for a few more years...
This looks really good - but there's no lazy river?
October 20th, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
No waterfall either? Do not want!!!
/s
October 20th, 2023 at 11:00 AM ^
....or slide 🛝.
October 20th, 2023 at 10:05 AM ^
all of the TV's for all of the sign stealing...
October 20th, 2023 at 12:15 PM ^
Now the whole team can get in on the action and it will really be a vast network!
October 20th, 2023 at 10:22 AM ^
Can’t pay our grad student workers though. Need a flat screen with the boys names on it.
October 20th, 2023 at 11:01 AM ^
Yes, we do pay our grad students.
October 20th, 2023 at 10:29 AM ^
that looks incredible... insane, but incredible.
October 20th, 2023 at 11:08 AM ^
It only looks insane until you compare what we’re working with now to schools we’re competing with for recruits, like Georgia, Alabama, Oregon, Clemson; hell even sparty got a nice locker update recently.
This is honestly pretty modest.
October 20th, 2023 at 3:13 PM ^
I don't disagree.... the entire landscape of big college football programs is insane.
the contrast of being an 18yo working your way through school, probably taking on a large amount of debt even while putting in 12 + hours a day between studying and working, to earn a degree.... and a building away there are 18yo who are there on full scholarship, bowling, shooting pool, hanging out in something akin to the American Express Centurion Lounge.
crazy
October 20th, 2023 at 10:53 AM ^
Wow. That looks awesome. They should put up a tree house for Harbaugh.
October 20th, 2023 at 11:32 AM ^
How times have changed.
Here's a little lesson from Bo on Michigan tradition
Yes, I know it's the Columbus Dispatch, but read on regardless, it's quoting John U. Bacon:

October 20th, 2023 at 11:47 AM ^
No zoo or rollercoaster. Amateurs.
October 20th, 2023 at 3:53 PM ^
But whaaat about the visitor locker rooms....
In actuality, my Grandma wrote Harbaugh a letter back when he was first hired about making sure the visitor locker rooms were just to the competition. And he wrote her back with a letter, "I totally agree. Sportsmanship over Gamesmanship." "We will be the first to upgrade our {visitor} facilities.

If you had posted it this 10 minutes earlier I could have thanked Regent Acker in person.
