That's amazing. I must have just starred at it for a good minute at my desk.

They need to suit up the girl on the far right. She would make a good tackle.

This is annoying. MGM sportsbook three weeks ago had 12/1 on winning the playoff. Even the homer in me couldn't buy into that. At 50/1 I would have plopped some money down.

Sure was sweating the 23.5 points I had to give Rice though.

So let's say someone hypothetically got completely fucked over on $600 of tickets, and had to repurchase STAT.

Would section 36, 131, 132, or 133 be the best place for a raging fan to watch the game?

 

[Old Man Mike]

Random opinion: Rice's DEs were/are faster than Michigan's, although Michigan's are better all-around players. This means. to me, that Everett would have little problem dodging them if that's all he had to worry about. Since I believe that Mattison knows this, I think we should expect corner blitzes from Michigan now and then, to try to catch Everett circling out past the DE but into the path of somebody more athletic and faster.

THEN "but I know that you know....etc", Kelly would prepare for that by having the RB extra-aware of corner blitz responsibilities, and/or roll the pocket more.

Kelly and Mattison will have MUCH more brain-storming and scheming on this exact issue than any of us can imagine. But in the end, although it will be a punching match, our O will outplay and outscheme their D. On the other side of the ball, it's my opinion that Michigan will not be able to move the ball much on the ground against Van Gorder. They generally stunk against App State. This leaves Funchess and their TE and scrambling. Van Gorder might well line up a linebacker over Funchess a lot of the time to stone him and then pass him off to the DBack. Idea: screw the timing. If we emasculate Funchess, their offense tanks for the most part unless Gardner can run.

We are better than these guys. Sadly that often seems not to matter. But... Lord we should be AMPED for this one.

Just look at the stadium seating chart and decide where u want to watch the game from. It all depends on your personal preference.

This from a poster at II, not sure if he's reading this somewhere or making it up. Interesting to think about nonetheless.

Look for the rookie LT Cole to come out and the LG to slide over to the LT spot. And Glasgow to be inserted at LG. And Michigan will run some two TE sets with the FB leading the way. They're going to try some real line power runs. It will be a real test for our DL's and Line Backers.

Depends on what you want to do. Section 36 is straight endzone shot and potentially above the tunnel. Good view of the game and seeing plays develop.

For being able to act crazy the other three sections are in the corner above the student body. Should be a lot of fun sitting behind them...altough they stand the entire game.

You didn't buy tickets from "someone" and then send money over seas, did you?

I thought I had 4 USC tickets lined up in 2011 for $500 total, but when it came to checkout time and the payment options showed things being sent to a European address, I got sketched out and backed off. I also checked up on the seller with the vendor, and they basically told me "good thing you didn't buy those, because when you send money to a seller like that, we can't help you if they're lying."

No, this guy's in Pennsylvania, and apparently we're protected by paypal because they were to be delivered by mail, not electronic.

So we're fucked, but should get our money back, now just looking at new seats.

I don't mind standing as long as others don't get mad that I do. View is most important, then proximity to students.

Missed 3 shipping deadlines, and now disconnected his phone number. Probably a michigan man.

I would be driving my ass to Pennsylvania and going door-to-door to find that jackwagon. I would be unable to type coherent words on this forum right now if I were you haha.

EDIT: Yes, door-to-door, the entire state. Hulk rage would be in effect.

harrisburg area...so they were supposed to be sent via mail but didn't and took the money?

Well IDK if paypal holds the money until they're delivered, or if he has it and we'll have to get it back.

But yep, paid on our part, money's been taken out for over a month now. Name's Brian Eckenrode. If you see him, kill him.

It makes sense. On Saturday we showed them a small defensive lineup featuring young and undersized players at LB. If I were UM, I might try to go big, too.

Kelly said today that Councell will play SAM in power-rushing situations, but I'm curious what would happen with Schmidt. Schmidt is undersized, but Kelly has also said that he is critical to keeping the guys lined up properly. With Collinsworth out, there is really no one else to do that.

Anyway, it's not a crazy game plan to have.

I've seen games from all over, and there's really not a bad seat in the stadium.

That is a pretty big injury for them.

This morning, the internet started rumoring about a linebacker out injured. This was vaguely confirmed (no name, no timetable) by Sam Webb. Now there are reports that Desmond Morgan has been spotted on campus with a cast on one arm. This confirms a report from our message board that I think is legit; I've followed up with the poster to get more detail.

Someone is hurt, and two different reports that it's Morgan, one eyewitness. I expect that he will be out for a bit; six weeks is the internet timetable, but I wouldn't put a ton of stock in that.

In Morgan's absence expect to see more James Ross. ND's offensive scheme will put Michigan in the nickel for most snaps, all but eliminating the WLB spot that Ross and RJS are occupying at the moment. Ross got some time at ILB against App State when Mattison was displeased with the starters. Michigan is going to need an option there if either starter doesn't live up to offseason hype

Surprising that Hoke has taken the "no injury disclosure" approach and didn't discuss this in the presser today.

Really hate to see anyone get hurt and miss time. Having said that...fuck Michigan!

Find his mom and dad's phone number and call them. Let them know what a douche bag their son has turned out to be (if they don't already know).

Have you contacted Paypal yet? What are they saying?

Isn't their OL young like our DL? This might sound pretty homerish but I'll take Day, Jones, and company over their young DL
