Tweets from BTN Visit
Thought we could link the tweets from today in one topic. Here are some, there are more in the thread
BTN Bus Tour Stop number 8 #Wolverines - Headed to morning practice - will be second East team we've seen - been to all West except Purdue
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 19, 2015
No real surprises on OL - looked like Cole, Braden, Glasgow, Kals, Magnuson. Drevno singled Blake Bars out as having had good camp
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
WR looks to be about what it was a year ago - issue will be whether a deep threat can emerge. Better OL play could obviously help there
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
I'd be surprised if Grant Perry doesn't contribute some at WR. Tough to tell on Brian Cole - kind of up and down

Dressed in his uniform of a blue “M” cap, long-sleeve shirt and—what else?—khakis, Harbaugh spent most of time with QBs. Always instructing.

A very business-like practice at Michigan today. No music blared. A classroom environment with lots of teaching. Nobody walked or lingered.

PR looks like it'll be Peppers and Chesson. Peppers looked great overall today and DJ Durkin said he's had an outstanding camp

PK remains up in the air - still doesn't look like an area of strength. Aussie P Blake O'Neill got off some boomers - impressive

BTN Bus Tour #Wolverines I would not be surprised if both QB played in opener against Utah. Game play sometimes is best way to decide

@CoachJim4UM spent a great deal of practice time on special teams.#Alwaysagreatidea

Griffith on Michigan using the spread punt
@Lofter4 that’s an answer that has to stay on the sub@BTNDaveRevsine

If someone posts a link to a tweet, please just post the entire tweet, along with any pictures, because many of us are blocked from Twitter at the office.

Damn you're in a submarine too.

I can't believe there are companies that still do this. Like people haven't been finding ways to procastinate from working before there was the existence of things like social media and internet.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:16 AM ^
Seriously ...a few years ago we had some new IT person firewall ESPN.com.
Twenty minutes later it was no longer firewalled because the CEO liked to visit the site himself. That was awesome though Twitter, FB, Hotmail, GMail, etc are all blocked.
But I have a cell phone ...a Smart Phone, in fact, so ......
August 19th, 2015 at 11:39 AM ^
I can't access email, twitter, facebook or any social media at work. Its not about procrastination, its more about security of sensitive work documents and information. They want to be able to keep track of all of that and make it harder for information to be sent around.
So if I do want to see something on twitter I just go on my phone, but embedding the tweets saves me a step, so thanks to those who do lol.
August 19th, 2015 at 12:04 PM ^
For most companies, it's silly policy. However, I once worked on a consulting assignment with a defense contractor. They are super-strict on technology. You have to check your phones, laptop, and you can pretty much bring in paper and pencils, and then they check everything on your person when you leave. So no twitter or FB or anything else online. It's pretty crazy.
August 19th, 2015 at 1:37 PM ^
and FitBits were on the forbidden list.
I had to laugh...
August 19th, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
Those shits transmit data. That's a big no-no for some sites.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:13 AM ^
So do you not own a cellphone?
August 19th, 2015 at 11:17 AM ^
They are so big you do not get wireless service. Or when the MRI is going, cell service is just completely ruined.
August 19th, 2015 at 12:35 PM ^
Phone sits on my desk charging, nothing comes through most of the day. Then suddenly the service breaks through, and a bunch of notification sounds will flood in, and then back to nothing again.
August 19th, 2015 at 12:50 PM ^
One of the smaller places i work. I believe the o.r. is right under the mri. When it's fired up, i get nothing. When its off, i sometimes get a decent signal.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:18 AM ^
Not everyone is allowed a cell phone in their office...
August 19th, 2015 at 11:57 AM ^
MRI tube!!! And if this guy asks me to please stop moving ONE MORE TIME!!!
August 19th, 2015 at 11:57 AM ^
And if you are allowed to have one, it's a really good way to get them banned if you stand around staring at it all day.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:32 AM ^
I do, but prefer to use my computer. Plus, I have a limited data plan, so I'd rather not use data as much as possible when I'm at work.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:52 AM ^
I did use data but just connect to WiFi and make sure I don't log onto anything stupid
August 19th, 2015 at 12:26 PM ^
That's fine, but my company does not allow its employees to access the WiFi, which makes me wonder why we have it in the first place. I'm guessing just so the managers and owners can use it, which would be a pretty shitty thing if true.

Purdue in west hence they are the only team in the west that they haven't been to.

How could you have misinterpreted it? You just misread it and rushed to post a smart ass reply and look sort of silly now. Just own it and move on. No need for excuses around here
August 19th, 2015 at 12:52 PM ^
Interpreted it as "been to all West except Purdue (who is an east team)". When it was obviously "been to all west except (but haven't been to Purdue)". I'm sorry for my gross negligence.

BUCKLE Uuuuuuuupp!!!!!!
This is the big one.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:11 AM ^
I'm confused. The podcast (which I didn't listen to) and your post both say buckle up. To clarify, are we expecting a recruit to drop? I'm confused.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:15 AM ^
The podcast never mentioned recruiting. I think it meant buckle up for the season.
August 19th, 2015 at 12:21 PM ^
Are we allowed to tell Brian what phrases he can use on his site and in which circumstances? I move that buckle up be struck from our vernacular unless it is imminent that a recruit commits. Is that something we have the power to do?
August 19th, 2015 at 1:37 PM ^
I think in this context "strap it on" is a better idiom.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:18 AM ^
I'm so used to BUCKLING UP these days, I don't even know why I'm doing it (other than for my and my family's general safety, obviously).
August 19th, 2015 at 12:40 PM ^
Buckle up because this submarine ride is bumpy.
August 19th, 2015 at 12:52 PM ^
Particularly when executing the Crazy Jim maneuver.

How long until a tweet about "Toughness" and "Intensity"?

6pm on BTN live.

thanks!
August 19th, 2015 at 11:11 AM ^
It's on BTN Live at 5pm CDT.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:11 AM ^
I asked this same question yesterday and was told it will be a part of BTN Live tonight at 6pm.

nice to say about us? Maybe it's just my paranoia but I sense an anti-Michigan bias at the BTN. It seems like every time they play a "whatever school classic" game it's that team beating Michigan. Do Maryland and Rutgers really have no better victories to show than v's a 5-7 Michigan team?
Also, it would be nice for them to show some actual classic games. And by classic I mean games played before the BTN was created. I'm pretty sure some Michigan games from 1969-2006 would get decent ratings.
August 19th, 2015 at 11:14 AM ^
Wow. Just wow.
