No this particular article had not been posted. Just checked the board, mgolicious, the main board back 3 days.

Brian posted it. And it's been widely discussed.

If you live in a 50 mile radius and are not going to go to this game to cheer on these seniors for high school ticket prices, I don't know how you're an mgoblog member.

Speaking to the weather, and as a general note to anyone in SE Michigan who has not yet looked out the window, there is a Freezing Rain Advisory at the moment. At least where I am, there's a decent sheet of ice on the cars, grass and streets right now, so if you're doing something before you leave for the game (as it will be above 32 degrees later and this won't be an issue by kickoff), be careful.

I think it's going to take me a long time from downtown Canada to arrive in AA.

Sorry, double post. (but i'm going to edit in another comment or two)
... By my quick count, at least 13 of the remaining 30 schools playing today are located within an hour of Ann Arbor, including Saline, just down the road a few miles from The Big House.
I'm going, giving myself 3 1/2 hours for what normally would be a 2 1/2 hour drive. Might not tailgate for the first time in a few seasons due to the weather, but I'll be there. The family in the next row in front of mine will be getting there late, as they're first going to their nephew/cousin's Division 1 playoff semi, playing for Clarkston vs. East Kentwood up at Brighton High School. They plan on hopping into their SUV immediately after that game and heading south to Ann Arbor, but they're luckier than most in that Brighton is a closer venue than for most.
My brother from Grand Rapids originally was planning on going today; instead, he drove up to Marquette yesterday to watch the West Catholic Division 5 semifinal vs. Menominee, being played at 11 am today at the Superior Dome.
I'm sure there are thousands of others with their own good reasons for not being there today.

Still excited from the Kansas State loss or already getting excited about the Iowa State game next week?

Dude, I don't post much but I felt compelled. No matter how one sided you expect it to be how do you not watch the game? Weak sauce brah.
November 22nd, 2014 at 5:14 AM ^
I watch every game unless it gets out of hand. I don't know how some can just not watch The Game but to each their own. If you skipped last year's game you would have missed a heck of a game.

When you know it's just going to piss you off and make you sad at the same time, it gets pretty easy to decide that some things just aren't worth it.

Just like last year. This year can be even sweeter if the right things happen.

Like everyone else is saying it's hard to get excited at this point. Yes we still love M football but the repeated beatings have had their effect.

You don't have to love everything about the team right now although I'm always excited to be in the stadium whether we're 0-12 or 12-0 but with high school prices we have a duty to show up to senior day. The last thing we want is 20,000 empty seats for rival fans to poke fun at.

the weather today. Starting out with freezing rain and ice on the roads. Hopefully, it will melt by later and the rain will hold off. Drive very carefully and safely everyone.

They count tickets sold? I have heard this before but that doesn't make a lot of senes to me, since the attendance has usually been a few thousand more than capacity in the past. They can't possibly oversell their capacity. I had always assumed the attendance figure included media/team/stadium personnel etc.

I have to say I'm amazed that in 2014, there are still people who believe the attendance figures are an actual count of fans at the stadium. That hasn't been the case in sports since sometime last century.
Attendance in college football is the number of tickets sold (or otherwise distributed) plus all the passes given out for the press box and field, plus I think everyone who works at the stadium. It's basically intended to be as high a number as possible.

So mad Wolverine props to all in attendance today. You guys really DO deserve a badge of fandom honor.
