For New Orleans visitors:
I'm not certain if there will be updates to this map, but I run the alumni group in New Orleans. We recently changed bars/locations, so I wanted folks who may stumble upon this thread to be aware that our new bar starting with the 2023 football season is:
Wit's Inn
141 N Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA 70119
I'm Dan, so if you're visiting, come on over and say hi.
Go Blue!
YES. I have been looking for this clip FOREVER. My friends and I are always quoting this speech to each other when we come back in town for a game. Thank you!
Aside from down voting, I'm not sure how I can report certain spam posts (read the FAQ and maybe I'm blind, but don't see it in there). So, wanted to report a few spam accounts based on what I've seen them post in several threads recently:
Is anyone monitoring this thread? Multiple people (including myself) have posted with bar location changes, and the map linked to the sticky hasn't changed.
For reference, the New Orleans location is at The Prytania Bar. See Alumni Association website here:
I am on the exec team of the Michigan Alumni Club of New Orleans. Our official watch party bar has changed this year to The Prytania Bar. Here is the info:
3445 Prytania St.
New Orleans, LA 70115 [Map It]

Can someone please update the map that is linked to this post?
Agree completely with the space man. Every time I read these "reactions" and "analyses" about why a kid picked a particular school, I take everything with an enormous grain of salt, and I remember what it was like to be 17-18 and be picking a school (and I wasn't even an athlete). There were so many thoughts swirling around and different ways different schools became more or less attractive to me, and sometimes some of those made no sense. Why did I pick Michigan over others? Sometimes you just feel most comfortable with a place.
I don't fault any of these kids, nor do I spend a lot of time agonizing over it. Let the staff got get the best kids they can that think fit their system. As long as we're near the top 10 in recruiting 3/4 years, and we get kids in the positions needed, I'm generally good. Plus, with the defensive staff (doesn't apply to Dobbs, but this is a general comment), I think they've earned my trust at this point that they're getting the kids they need, know how to evaluate talent, and will make the most of it.
Guys, I love all of your responses and agree with you. Now please take that extra ONE MINUTE and cut and paste some of what you've just said and email everyone that counts so we flood them with our opinions:

Thanks,

damn good class so far, gents. Damn good class.
As to all the prior worry warts about star ratings...LOL. Where you at now? Not to mention, some of these kids are bound to get a star rating bump.
How does one edit their username/password, add an image next to their username, etc? Tried using search, can't seem to find it.

Good news, thank you for passing along. Fingers crossed, knocking on wood re. Mone.
That's my only reaction to all of this, since you guys have analyzed everything else.
Can't wait for this kid to have some subs. It's gonna be crazy
Those gloves on that kid just bring a huge smile to my face. GO BLUE!
You have the TV wrong in the basics. It's on NBC, not BTN.
brunette girls t-shirts would be INCREDIBLE!
But they really screwed Nebraska for their first 2 years...guess they're gonna have to do some heavy recruiting!
Im SO HAPPY WE GET TO KEEP OUR GAME!!!
This should be stickied, you did a great job!

While I'm depressed as hell about all of this, this post just made me LOL like no other!
This comment made me almost LOL in class and totally made my day, thank you!
Very good point, very nicely said!
Thanks for the writeup! I'm excited to see us get out there against UConn and see if what we're doing in scrimmage will pay off against another team.
Brandon, let's do a collage of hope, would definitely be cool.
I like your efforts on this one though :)
