How do you keep track of Michigan's schedules?
Do you print one out and put it on your fridge or wall?
Do you have it saved to your phone calendar?
Do you just remember it? Or are you go with the flow guy and look it up on the interwebs when you're stumped on who we're playing on November 9th, 2019?
Very curious to do this informal straw poll of mgoblog.
My method:
I used to make out a paper Michigan Football schedule with crayons and colored pencils when I was a small child and taped it to my wall. That practice eventually turned into me making schedules for all Michigan teams on Paint and then printing them out and posting them up. I write down the results after the games on the schedules and as a result of that I know when every game is and what time it is. When it's tournament time I print out the brackets and post them just below the schedule.
This is from just before last season began.
And during the NCAA Tournament-
I just look it up in my phone ??♂️
I begin each school year memorizing them.
No I just use the interwebs.
Yeah, I got that funny invention thingy, the internets, too. Think it was back in 96 got me a computer thingy for getting on it. Metal box kind of a thing.
I shave a patch of fur out of my dogs ass and then write the schedule on a piece of paper and tape it to my fridge
:-) and the patch of fur off the dog's ass has nothing to do with the schedule taped to the fridge?
That's funny.
Here's your next million, WD: come up with a personalizable app that can prompt the user within a selected time frame of upcoming games in whatever sports s/he chooses. When the UM network debuts in 2025 they'll hire you to migrate it to the network.
Tried doing programming in college but raptor kicked my ass so I changed course on what my major was.
I just use the Internet that Al Gore invented and that works for me. Although, crayons might be the way to go after watching Last Chance U Season 4.
I will soon be getting the schedule off of the internet and putting it into our family’s events calendar, then start figure out the best weekends to take weekends camping trips in the fall: Bye Weekends, Rutgers, etc. Then the next tier are weekends that can be used for weekends with the in-laws if there is a TV or computer/internet available: Illinois, Indiana, etc.
I wait for MGoBlog to start melting down.
Then I know it's midway though the second offensive series.
Really?
The responses in this thread makes me feel so out of touch. I can't believe no one else has said they print a schedule out.
Did you get the shirt?
Other than hospital systems, who prints anything?
I used to print the football and basketball schedules and hang them on the wall at work, but I'm there so infrequently now, it's kind of pointless. I can't very well carry a printed copy around with me on business trips (well, I guess I could...).
I'm on mgoblog often enough to know when FB and MBB games will be. I flip through BTN often enough to know when non-revenue tournaments are starting (generally VB and SB, although BB was obviously super-fun this past season). And I load the FB schedule to my google calendar.
The Internet
How do I keep track? Fall is coming quick... how do you NOT keep track of each game?
As far as basketball goes, I guess I’m not as rabid. I rely on my grandkids and this board which I check daily.
On mgoblue site you can choose your sport and have the schedule downloaded to your smartphone whenever it’s posted or changed.
About every other year when I am at Mden I buy one of those football shaped refrigerator magnets for my fridge. They have the next two years on them and occasionally something changes but it stays accurate for the most part.
I simply print a schedule, keep it by my desk at work, record the score. Then I tear it down and crumple it up and toss it when we get our ass handed to us by the sucknuts!! AGHHH, i just want to keep the damn schedule so I can just gaze at it in blissful wonderment.
Football is about the only game I really care about, and that's a real problem. I can never remember what time of year or what day of the week the games are on.
I have a chip that is attached to my cerebral cortex that is pre-loaded with the schedule for that year. So I'm lucky, I just always know who Michigan is playing and what time.
I just wait for MGoBlog to tell me.
How do I keep track of their schedules?
I use you, WD.
Speaking of schedules, I was just looking at the BIG schedule on whole (which is how I look at UM's schedule - by looking at a printed off Big Ten Football Helmet Matrix), and was about to comment how it's nice this season that no-one has a bye before a game against Michigan this year. - Except Wisconsin who we also have a mutual bye before.
But then I had to look at Notre Dame's schedule and.... dammit Notre Dame! To hell with you indeed.
There is some money to be made here.
Is there an app that will load a team’s schedule into your online calendar? Pick a school, pick a sport, upload the schedule...seems pretty straightforward....maybe even add a bot that could post entries and threads to your favorite blogs...
I'm partial to the helmet schedules, they take up a bit more room but I think they look great. Here is the Big Ten page: https://mk0fbschedulesg7lec3.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2019-big-ten-helmet-schedule.pdf
And another link to the parent page showing links to the schedules for all conferences: https://fbschedules.com/college-football-helmet-schedules/
During football season I print out the LSU football tv schedule (it has all the college games, times, and networks). Then I go through it with a highlighter.
You can have it added to your Google calendar. That way whenever my wife tries to sign me up for something I can see right away what it conflicts with, years out.
