• Provisioning for Michigan Stadium | 2014 Style

    My annual post outlining your checklist before entering Michigan Stadium on Saturday. Optional for 2014: A. MaraWatch – Only required if you want to look cool and have everyone like & respect you.  Only then. B. Tricked out customized adidas – Only for the true players (see A.) C. Blow-up Doll(s) – To help fill up the empty seats around you. D. Stick/Rope/Towel – ..to bite down on to help ease the pain if you see 98 running for his life against App St, or if TFLA remains in triple digits. The rest: 1. Radio with quality Headphones. Forget the latest incarnation of the “official” radio that sticks on your ear (do they have another one in 2014?), they are unreliable.  Bring in a radio you trust to listen to the play-by-play from Brandy and Dan Dierdorf on WTKA 1050AM. You’ll get injury reports, sideline observations, statistics and analysis of key plays that are under review (although Brandstatter always seems to think the replay will goes Michigan’s way).   You can also check out the entire pregame show and This Week in Michigan Football History as it plays.  Probably most critical: with the radio in your ears you can block out the blabber from the fool nearby who won’t shut his Twizzler hole as he belts out play-by-play and screams down…
