Whole Michigan FB team running up State st. this AM
So I'm on my way to work like any regular day and as I'm coming up to the athletic facilities on State Street I notice a huge number of people, all dressed the same, running up the street. As I got closer I spotted some dreads and knew it was the FB team. I took out my phone to capture the moment, and be a little creepy/illegal, because I've been driving the same way for years now and have never seen anything like it. It's kinda hard to tell, but they stretch from the back part of Yost basically to the new Ross Academic center.
I, of course, gave them some nice honks in the tune of "lets go blue" - to which they gave me some fist shakes along the way. It's nice to see the senior leadership at work, making them run.
When I got to work, they all were gathered in a huge circle around the block M in the Diag. So no idea what they were doing there.
The fact that they ran from the atheletic campus to main campus as a TEAM and circled on the diag shows that these guys get it. They are part of the university and I think they are FAN.F'NG.TASTIC
...had you just rolled down your window and yelled "GO OSU!", you could have gotten a cool panormic picture of their feet after they had flipped your car with you in it!
I can honestly say I'd never heard of Doug before this. My daughter must have been watching something else during those years, although I'm not sure we were getting Nickelodeon back then anyhow.
As for the gathering about the Block M, maybe they encountered a certain Free Press writer and UM grad skulking around the Diag and were delivering a "message" to him.
Maybe you guys spent more of your time outside chasing nematodes.
HAHA awesome!
to Doug and start creating some crappy, poorly drawn and voiced version?
touchy subject.
fuck disney
I discovered the Glory of Marques Slocum for the first time ever last night. Holy crap. Funniest thing ever. For those of you who haven't read the 100% best thing ever http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2007/08/22/hero-for-our-time-marques-grand-marques-slocum/
did someone call the fuck lion?
Fuck Disney? But it's the only channel where I can get my Phineas and Ferb fix every day!
and school "Michigan kicking the living shit out of UConn on September 4th" comes around, just to end it.....
Hey, where's Perry?
...to see the football team. But I preferred when I happened upon the women's track team out doing their runs. Good looking girls and weirdly scary/exhilarating to walk into a pack of them as they charged down the sidewalk towards you.
of the doorway I can step out of to make this happen...
in minute detail, the holy hell of pain they are going to unleash on every GD opponent they face this year
They're producing a reality TV show where they trade places with the cross country team for a season. Should be a good one!
...do they look really small?
The auto-focus can't deal with the speed and quicks of the players; the millisecond between its last assessment of spatial orientation relative to the players and the taking of the pictures gives them enough time to move another twenty or thirty feet along.
...I wondered that a the spring game as well.
...told the freshmen that when they got to the Diag, not to step on the M before they take their first final.
You can't stand on the M till you take your first blue book exam.
first blue book exam, not fnal...
It was you first hit of acid...
...when given the tour during orientation back in '88. Maybe it's been changed, but it used to be just final, not first blue book. I have heard blue book since then by younger folk.
...coach. During my era (85 - 89), it was the first final. What's with these young whippersnappers chaging our traditions? And what's with this stupic claw thing, anyhow?
Get off of my lawn, dagnabbit.

Still never step on it out of respect for the M
Not one negged post in this entire thread. Football brings out the best in all of us. It's beautiful.
*fighting optimistic tears*
It's coming people. I have a good feeling for what is about to be unleashed this season.
You're right across the street from my old apt...Never saw the team running like this is the past four years I was there
Now this is pure, 100% Colombian awesome. Best thread of the summer and #2 of the year 2010 (second only to the epic 500-post monster when we won the CCHA tourney title).
You must have forgotten CRex' tales of future korean in-laws, family fights and dying at the hands of an army general.

Those were outstanding OT posts, but it is impossible for an OT post to exceed a good on-topic post in quality.
