he also mentioned that Wilton had to be taken to a facility in a van to get the x-ray and then said something about not having a brace for him... assuming that he was talking about a neck brace.
About 5 of us went to the game. Pre-game we hung out watching players run on and off the field for warm ups and then stood around to see the team afterwards as they got on their busses. Here's what I noticed:
FIrst, the locker rooms is an actual, stand alone building just outside of the stadium. I was surprised by how tiny it was.
Several players were standing outside of the building in the shade.
There was a big ice box, like you'd see at a gas station to put bags of ice in, right outside their locker room.
The way that the horse-shoe stadum was set up was a bit weird. There used to be small bleachers in the open end, but now its kinda set up like a beer garden. But on either side of the beer garden were entrances into the stadium, and the only way people could get to their seats were the same entrances the players used. When the players entered the field, they literally had to stop fans from entering the building. I almost got stuck in these lines as they closed down the entrance just before kickoff....there hundreds of people who didn't get to their seats until mid-first quarter.
It was hot. There was an announcement over the PA that Purdue had 4 watering stations around the building, for free. My brother went just before kickoff to fill up a water bottle and it was empty.
they announced that if somebody was having a heat related emergency to look for people in yellow shirts for help.....
After the game, a few hundered of us waited outside the locker room building for the players to come out to get on the busses. There wasn't a rope line or any security presence outside the stadium gates....and the players, coaches, and staff wandered through us to get on the busses. It led to a bunch of cool high-fives and great picture opportunities, but seemed a bit sketch for security sake.
As we were walking back to our cars, we walked by the officials all getting into their cars. Just in a random parking lot.
I used to live just outside of South Bend, and went to a handful of games there. Looking at the picture of the sea of read there, I have 2 thoughts.
1.] The seats above the tunnels in that part of the building are the vistor alotment. And while its a massave away fan section, most of the games I went to there had a large visitor group.
2.] I went to the Utah game in 2010 there, and almost that whole end of the building was red. So this is not a unique occurance there. This was most likely helped out by the size of the UGA fanbase, and the uniqueness of a Notre Dame game for them.
what if ..... Jabrill's lack of INT's at Michigan wasn't a lack of "ball skills" or ability...but the fact that Michigan didn't use him in a way that was conducive to getting that type of stat....
Craig Ross always talks about emailing him about getting his books, I have the Unified Field Theory book, but I'd love the Obsceen Diarys book. I just don't have his email.

For the record: I have been to 2 home games in DPJ's time on campus, in both games he's scored on punt returns.
I am willing to accept any and all ticket donations to see if its an actual thing.
I don't think so.... he made a couple of plays in this game that made me go wow!
They're doing more quick hits with the passing game, w/roll outs...that's not going to lead towards Braylonfest results
also, wikipedia shows that he was on the Rockets Finals roster

is that not Riley in street clothing touching the trophy while Otis is holding it up?
weird.... Basketball-Reference shows he played down the stretch in April...

Also, Land of Basketball shows him winning that year.

You forget that the 1993-94 Houston Rockets had one young Eric Riley.
I did get to chat with Upchurch right before the game, right outside the stadium. That was a win!

I haven't been to Ohio Stadium, but I have been to Purdue (in 2012), and I'll say it was a bad experience; even the old ladies were rude.
I'll be heading to West Lafayette tomorrow, so I'll have to report back how much better/worse it is 5 years later.

I'd love to see what a Michigan uniform would look like in all black (with amarillo numbers) and the classing hemet.

A post about Michigan's defense, and only indirect comments about Jabrill Peppers?
How good is this defense going to be .....
I'm skeptical of the verocity of this....
Wolverine Beat by the MLive guys is also solid!

I think it was CNN that did an article about it in '08 and I clicked on the link. haven't gone more than a day or 2 without reading since.
I feel like he's trying to get people without any knowledge of how the whole thing works to side with him....

What's weird to me is that Mattison was Bolden's position coach last year, he should know what's up with him....
