User “Varsity” on the MLive.com message board noticed that in on of my photos, freshman Darryl Stonem was donning the three stripes. Indeed. Here’s a closer look: Reportedly Varsity has been known to spot raccoons by the side of the road at night and mercury head dimes on the floor. Good work “squints”.

M Spring Game 2008: Video Clips
A few video clips from around the Saline High School field, showing a little bit of the start, a few mistakes and a couple nice plays. Definitely check out the last clip of Avery Horn’s run, coming right at me: That’s Barwis patrolling the end zone as players stretch. He’s as advertised. Sorry about the audio (with the wind) and the quality – that’s about as best I could get out of YouTube. And while not of the same quality, here’s the Big Ten Network’s coverage of the game:

Rodriguez: Expect Fan Day in mid-August
MVictors Spring Game Coverage Most fans didn’t get a chance to see the team during today’s closed Spring game at Saline High School due to the Michigan Stadium renovation but there will be another opportunity for the Maize & Blue faithful to meet the team. After the question was raised by some dude who seems pretty cool, Coach Rodriguez confirmed today there will be one, maybe two, scheduled opportunities for fans to meet the players before the season starts. Per Rodriguez, “We’re going to have a Fan Day in August, and we may have one this summer as well but we’re certainly going to have one in August in conjunction with our picture day.” Related: Michigan Fan Day 2007 from Michigan stadium

M Spring Game 2008: Rich Rodriguez press conference (audio)
MVictors Spring Game Coverage Wall to wall coverage coming later tonight. A few notes: * Threet came out first on offense and would look to be the front runner for the starting position. That said, per Rodriguez any talk of first team/second team is ridiculous at this point. * Overall the offense made many mistakes (not a surprise). All QBs struggled at times (Sheridan, Threet, Cone) and there were a boat load of interceptions. * While the offense struggled, the defense made some big plays and huge hits, causing the crowd to gasp on a few occasions. I’ll have lots of photos, video and audio later. You can listen to the full Rich Rodriguez press conference here: Related: Full Spring Game 2008 coverage

Looking wet for Spring Game
The forecast is a bit grim for tomorrow’s scrimmage at Saline High School: I guess the only way that could be worse is if there were lightning bolts in those cloud graphics, or snow flakes. We’ll see but they’ve made no indication that they’d cancel it. On a good note – I’ll be there. Check back here Sunday and Monday for recaps, photos and possibly some audio/video. Looking forward to it.
