Spotted this on Maize n Brew not to long ago and really enjoyed it. WolverineHistorian pulled together various on field interview with general Bo. Damn, Bo was a pisser. Chomping that gum with those tinted glasses:

Bathroom Lines Brutal?
I heard a few folks on WTKA this morning claim the lines for the new bathrooms in the Big House were horrendous on Saturday and one of the callers blamed it on the removal of the troughs. Beyond the extended delays, I hear this spawned tactics like the Spartan Stadium-esque entry through the exit door: Back in May I feared this might happen: For me, anytime I have to leave my stadium seat I’ve got one mission: return as quickly as I can. Unless they expanded the size of the bathrooms there’s no way you can achieve the throughput the troughs provide with stalls or urinals with dividers. What was your experience Saturday? P.S. on PINS: I got a tweet from a gent who says he his dad weren’t able to get the commemorative pins that were being passed out. Did they run out?

Who Voted for Michigan – AP poll Sept 7, 2010
A quick rundown of who voted for Michigan in this week’s AP poll which of course doesn’t really count toward anything but people like to talk about it: I don’t know if Michigan is worthy of any of this, but I give these guys credit. They did what most pollsters fail to do—they apparently crumpled up their preseason ballot and voted based on what they’ve watched on the field, how novel. Here’s the guys who jumped Michigan into the top 20: Doug Lesmerises – Cleveland Plain Dealer (Newspaper) <—wow. This OSU/Michigan love lingers in the aftermath of the moving-The-Game near debacle. Jon Sololmon – The Birmingham News (Newspaper) <—In Birmingham they love the Shoelace. Brett McMurphy – AOL FanHouse (On-line) <—Brian Cook’s old haunt. And props to U-M grad Niyo. I owe him an Underground Printing O’Sullivan’s Mug Club shirt next time I see him.

I Think it was the Fourth of July
What a day at the Big House yesterday but it’d be a much different feeling and memory had the team fell flat. Off the Field: Artwork: I love that they honored the national championship teams with these larger-than-life displays. I didn’t get a chance to get over to the east concourse but plan to before the next game. This from the west concourse, very nicely done: Commemoratives. The renovation pin is a nice item for fans and the game program is off the hook. Some of the history features were very well prepared expect one—the section on the Little Brown Jug. Page 27, bottom right: Dating back to 1909, the battle for the Little Brown Jug is the oldest trophy game in NCAA Division I Football Subdivision. OK. That’s ok to say “1909” if they meant to say when the teams started playing for the trophy. That’s correct of course. But it continued: Heading into that 1909 contest, Michigan was undefeated in 28 straight games as it headed to Minneapolis.. Ugh. They were describing when the jug was bought and left behind in Minnesota and that was 1903 of course, in the midst of Yost’s point-a-minute teams. In 1909 Michigan rolled into Minneapolis on the heels of a furious “one” game winning streak, albeit an all-timer—the great victory over Penn…

It’s Great TBAMW
A view from on the field just after the game. A couple cameramen got plowed over near me so I just popped the flip cam in the air and trotted toward the corner.

UConn Pregame Photos #2: Super Mikes, Skywriting, MSC and more
A few more photos from pregame during warm-ups etc. I tweeted the info that Mike Hart was donning an Amazing Spider-Man t-shirt, to which I was promptly challenge to prove it. Comic book nerds/Michigan fans (i.e., 85% of Michigan fans), rejoice: Greg Mathews was hanging with Hart: Don’t mess with this man: Tay Odoms: Rich Rod and crew waiting for UConn to clear the tunnel after warm-ups: Giant block M: U-M brass: Dave Brandon and Mary Sue Coleman:

Early Pregame Photos: UConn Game (Field, Pin, Bottle, Device)
A few early shots from the game as fans trickle in. Why not? I’ll also be down on the field for pregame and post so stay tuned and follow me on Twitter. First, the stadium and field because it’s about that today: The commemorative water bottle (hey, that’s a cool shot!): The commemorative pin. Yes, ‘Shoe, I took it out of the plastic, a little bigger than a quarter: Hey, I’m going to give the Fan Vision video unit a test drive. My sausage fingers might distort, but it’s the size of a DSI, a little bigger than an iPhone:
