CHECK THE BRICK WORK!!! THIS LOOKS REALLY COOL!!!!!
What Michigan Replay has become. (Click for MGOBLUE website details.)
For those of you that just want the gist of it:
"ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Inside Michigan Football, the University of Michigan Athletic Department-owned football show, begins its first season with head coach Rich Rodriguez, host Jim Brandstatter and reporter Doug Karsch on Aug. 28.
Inside Michigan Football will be broadcast 15 times throughout the season, debuting on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 6:30 p.m. on FSN Detroit with a replay Friday night at midnight on WXYZ-TV7 (ABC). The same weekly schedule will remain in place for the entire season with additional airings to be announced on the Big Ten Network.
“The title of the show is exactly what it will be,” said producer and director Patrick McLaughlin. “We will have a level of access that few programs in the country allow. We’ll be at every practice, in the locker room and behind the scenes every football Saturday. This will truly be an inside look at Michigan football.”
The show will include game highlights, player features, postgame locker room reactions, commentary from Rodriguez and a preview of the next opponent. Additional features such as sideline spotlights with former players, sounds of the game segments and more will be seen for the first time on Inside Michigan Football."
6:30 on a Thursday night? How in the @#$#%@% am I supposed to remember THAT? Turn it on during dinner? Of course, maybe, just maybe, Ole Rich Rod knows a thing or two about the average college football viewer and the high school recruits...Thursday practices are walkthroughs, for the most part. High Scholl players are probably home early looking forward to the "Big East" Thursday Night Lights game to come on. Isn't this a nice little preview. Still, 7:30 would have been a better time slot for this viewer....
Well, I guess we'll see....I am curious as to this whole insider thing...At least Brandy is still there. And Karsch is a good addition...Even though someone reported that he graduated from Sparty Land???? If anyone can verify, that would be great.
Countdown on the MGoBlue website has been interesting and some of the videos leave me with an "Uh-Oh...." feeling. If anyone has watched any of these, you will know what I mean. While this may be the most conditioned team to head into the stadium for the first game, we could really suck while everyone adjusts to the new offense and defense. I am hearing things like, "In time, this should work itself out as long as we keep coaching hard." Kind of like that App State game worked itself out last year....
More Stadium Remodel Overhead Pics
Thanks to longtime reader and Fan Tom H for providing the link to the Michigan Engineering Website that has a collection of photos and overhead shots of the Stadium renovations....If you poke around on this site, you will find some web cameras as well that take real time shots of the construction.

But, as I look at this.....How in the hell do they plan to move 107,101 people in and out of those sections that are under construction????? Are other sections going to get asked to pick up the slack? Inquiring minds want to know. Getting in and out of that place could get even worse than it already is.
Other Notes
The Buckeyes got two players arrested...So what else is new....
Things are always in sort of a wait and see mode with 2 weeks to go...It's just hard to believe we are less than 2 weeks away from the season opener.
So, until there's more to report,
