I can't make because of dress rehearsal with the Philadelphia Orchestra on campus. Singing Brahms Requiem on Sunday afternoon. Philadelphia, Hill Aud, Yannick Nezet-Seguin might be the apex of my UMS career.
He’ll be so impressed with Crisler. There is a dance competition going on all day. Girls from 6-18 doing routines, and every third song will be Taylor Swift.
In 1978 The Den was definitely on the NE corner of South U. and Church. It had a Sunday night special of 1/2 tray deep dish pizza w/ 2 cokes for $4.99. No Sunday dinner in East Quad so my roommate and I were there often with 2 leftover pieces for a late snack while studying Calc 115.
I posted in the posbang thread - good goalie , lots of scorers, defense, but what seems better than ever is there faceoff specialist. # 22 Montemarano is making a huge difference giving them many more possessions.
After the men bested Maryland last weekend, the women take the field tomorrow.
#2 {!!!} Michigan takes on #1 Maryland at 12:30 on S State St. Admission is FREE!
They are the real deal - 11-0 with some quality wins. They have a great faceoff specialist (1st ever maybe?), good goal keeping, plenty of scorers and defense to boot!
Gonna be crazy here in the stadium. Two years ago v. the Terps we got embarrassed in a nearly sold out setting. Go blue! Win face offs. ! Get superior goalie play.
There is an easy fix. The actual tunnel received an update before 2023 and is much wider at field level (remember FYS! and rogue PBJ's). Plenty of room for JJ's team and Orji's team.
After nine years of standing on those same stairs, my khakis finally made it into the lede photo (right above Rinzel). Looks like I should get out my iron.
Have hardly even looked at brackets, but I’ll pick Houston to win it all.
Illinois to go the farthest from the B1G.
My contrarian pick v. most of y’all is Kansas to the final 4. I’ve interacted with Hunter many times and always came away impressed and wish him nothing but the best. (Plus my late BIL was a professor there and has his name on an endowed scholarship- Rock Chalk Jawhawks!)
per my above edit i’m truly a fair weather fan. Even when it’s sunny and 60° I might go for a few innings but they just d r a g, and I grew up loving Tiger baseball in all forms.
Mens baseball at Fisher Stadium - trail San Diego 1-0 in the 3rd.
Fire Bakich!
edit: It’s 70° in the Tennis center and 41° on the diamond. I’d choose tennis. The mound visits, pitching changes, confabs with the 1st base coach all seem interminable when temp is below 50°.
I think I’d rather hear Craig’s story that he teased us with, than the weekly NIL blather, AD bashing, and premature coaching search talk. Craig at least is entertaining, albeit fairly jejune. (esoteric? marxist sympathizer? scatological?)
I read this days after it’s posting, but I’ve got to nitpick. Very thorough, and exhaustive write up- how many thousand words?
But you got one $20 word, renumeration, wrong. I believe you meant remuneration.
Unless you meant Alabama was going to recount or renumber their roster/ jerseys to entice recruits to flip. Root of remuneration: from “re”- back + munerari - “ to give”. Mind you, I’m just failed engineer who’s now a worker dude, but I have used this word a few times and it made me pause whilst typing “mune” or “nume”.
Normally mid-court 20 rows up but made the wise decision to go up to Grand Traverse Bay and will be biking up to Suttons Bay ( no snow so no xc-skiing).
We have a community garden just for our little dead end street in the Old West Side in Ann Arbor. Its divided into ~14 plots about 14’x14’. We normally plant a couple tomatoes, peppers, basil, cilantro . etc. The plot right next to ours was empty last year and I meant to plant the whole thing with sweet corn, but life and my tendency to be sedentary on my few afternoons off won out.
So where/what seeds should I plant/ procure, oh master gentleman farmer?
Know your announcers, before Carl Grapentine it was Howard King. Hopefully the line of succession doesn’t progress to Anthony Belino our current on the field MC.
My son’s freshman year at M was RR’s first year,( i know, sucks for him) and he would show me quotes and pictures from this “blog” site. I started checking in here a couple times a week. As of the Hoke years probably only missed a few days each month. Go Blue!
I’ll be stuck in A2 watching with a bunch of future alumni in Crisler Arena. The food and drink selection will definitely be better at all y’alls parties whether in Huntsville or Dubai.
Zak was there with his parents, still on crutches, but it seemed like he barely needed them. Leg seemed like it was in "Dang, this thing itches" stage. Been there myself with two broken arms and arm surgery.
Thanks Seth for all the good links for meaningful giving this season. Hope to high five The (healthy) Boy in Crisler (or Yost) at some games this year.

Yes “good” across the board -
goalie - Erin O’Grady excellent
draw control/ attack -Lily Montemarano
scorer- Jill Smith
steady “D”/ good clearers- Maddie Burns, Jordyn Harrison

Go Blue!
( it’s on B1G also)
...and here's a nifty barn
I think you need to have those young basketball/football players that live with you help ol' farmer XM with embedding photos.
Here's theatre seating in the ancient greek style. They play chamber music as the heifers stroll in front of the podium.

don’t forget M men’s lacrosse on BTN at 2:30 v. Maryland. Sold out in A2.
I was thinking the tunnel needs a mural depicting these three trophies.
There is an easy fix. The actual tunnel received an update before 2023 and is much wider at field level (remember FYS! and rogue PBJ's). Plenty of room for JJ's team and Orji's team.

Remember when we were back-to-back Big Ten Basketball Tournament Champions in 2017-18? I’d be slacking at work watching games on my phone .
… and the #6 women’s lacrosse team totally dominated OSU winning 11-5, improving to 7-0.

Yep, Bell’s Change of Heart IPA. Same as most of our sentiments in post game comments compared with previous years.
Next week’s beer at Crisler should be this one and a new one, Half Hearted IPA to celebrate this teams effort.
sell now? or wait till he’s coaching in the NBA playoffs? unopened!
8-3 UM at the half here. The women are good this iteration.
#6 Women’s lacrosse v. Colorado at noon at UM Lacrosse stadium. FREE! Suns out! 50°!
spring break - means Alumni Band and maybe freshman dance and cheer made to stay.

Beer prices $12 for 16 oz. Coors Light and Corona Extra - $13 All Day Ipa.
If there is a 17-0 run in the 2nd half you buy me a beer.
With my luck it will be with 9:52 left and the taps will be closed.
Half time at Crisler?
Jace is good to go… will it matter? will he play?
nice giveaway for The Children of Yost.

My lovely daughter is in it also - uppermost left with a mask.

No MG family pic?
Billy Simms rookie year at Tiger Stadium … it was cold and terrible view from way back in the lower deck of left field, but I loved it.
…
Go (Honolulu) Blue!
Grilled cheese, onions, turkey, pickles, spinach on Zingerman’s Farm bread. Fizzy water.
(lunch at Crisler between games = uugh)
Wk5, Your most typical Ann Arbor,Economist reading dude’s name is on that cardiovascular building.

I used that bike lane after the OSU game. Was back home by 4 watching a late afternoon game while you were stuck in traffic.
