Warde Manuel Starts Work Today

Submitted by RainbowSprings on

Today, Warde Manuel officially becomes the 12th AD in MIchigan's 150-year history of intecollegiate sports. May his reign be long, and our only complaint be that our various teams have won so many championships that we have a hard time keeping track of them! As most of us know, Warde played football under Bo, and has several UM degrees, including an MBA.

Based on Endzone, if all goes well, the types of complaints we should be hearing, if any, are "Warde, it's really nice of you to have your guys stop at my house to deliver my tickets and stuff, but I simply dont have time to go to Costco and keep buying coffe to share with them"

When you look at the video of the team celebrating when their name is called, he can be seen sitting in the room.  I guess it's not surprising to see him in the room, but it's still good to see him there.

There's no word if he sat in Beilein's office to go over Tulsa game film afterwards.

I had actually wondered when the official run began, although I was probably wondering that because I missed a detail or two when it was announced as I am sure it was posted. In any case, I am just sorry it couldn't be better weather for his first official day on the job here, but if you're ever been through March in Michigan....well, that's what it sometimes looks like, a cool, gray haze thick enough that makes the other side of the street a mystery

Hopefully he expands the student sections at all sporting events! Especially at Michigan Stadium, expand the student section into the section of dead fans in section 25! They can watch the game at home since all they want to do is sit there and watch football as still as possible

What needs to be done is for the department to continue the Hackett Renaissance. I was a student for Hoke's career. Despite being a Michigan lifer, it was impossible to not become disillusioned with how the department under Brandon seemed to view the general student body. The students will return. It will just take time for that goodwill to return.

How about we solve our student section problem first? The one were the top quarter to third of the section either shows up late or doesn't show up at all because they're either too drunk or still sleeping.

If a bunch of lazy students won't bother showing up, I'd rather give those seats to dedicated alums who will be at the game an hour before kickoff. Even if they sit down all game.
