Maize Out?
October 6th, 2017 at 9:23 AM ^
They used to print "Maize Out" on the season tickets but it's been several years since they last did. My assumption is they will be handing out maize pom-poms when you enter the stadium so as to create a unified maize effect for TV.

I have a large panorama photo in my basement of the UTL1 and it is awesome.

I bet I have the same one hanging in my office. Taken by James Blakeway?

It does, but to me with the guy sitting in front of me who won't put the damn things down, it's PISSING ME OFF.
October 6th, 2017 at 10:15 AM ^
So stand up!
Damn blue hairs... :)
October 6th, 2017 at 10:31 AM ^
So that shouldn't be an issue (unless the guy in front of you is really tall).

I'm approaching bluehair, I guess... anyway one time last season the twentysomething whippersnapper in back of me said it was blocking his view. I put it down, for the most part..

Might look cool for TV, but it's an absolute pain in the ass to sit near someone determined to wave their stupid pom-pom throughout the game.

You're right - people who don't hit others in the face with pom-poms never cheer!
Why not commit to the idea of a maize-out instead of patching the issue by handing out free pom-poms?

Because 100,000+ people waving maize pom-poms is sweet.

I LOVE the maize pom poms.
They are like an angry pulsating yellow amoeba that is going to swallow up your team, 1950's "Blob" style:

Thanks for the post. Good times. Good times.

13 minutes well spent!

So fun to watch!! Thanks for posting that agin, it will never get old! And yet it reminds me again of how Brady Hoke should be in prison for his criminal misuse of both DRob and D Gardner... GAHH!!!

It can''t work at Michigan stadium due to the thousands and thousands of get off my lawn people at Michigan stadium.
I love Michigan and I love the stadium. But, they may as well name it the "get off my lawn you rotten kids" stadium.
It used to drive me crazy.

Most people don't own yellow clothing, so we need the pom poms to make it look like a maize out.

I'd love to see Michigan stadium with the maize/blue every other section thing. That is such a great look for football games.

Rutgers trying to "Stripe the Birthplace" last year didn't work out so well.
October 6th, 2017 at 12:55 PM ^
Well I sure as shit DON'T own any yellow fuckin clothes - but I do have several MAIZE items I'm proud to wear to a M game or just around.
Check it out, they have links to several sites where one can procure MAIZE items right on this page!
October 6th, 2017 at 9:22 AM ^
yes, yes, no, and yes
October 6th, 2017 at 11:59 AM ^
LOL excellent
October 6th, 2017 at 9:25 AM ^
I'm sure it is -- but it's never going to work until they put cheap maize shirts on all of the seats that can fit over jackets.

Communication is critical. There was a bit of a hubub amoung the Wolfpack last night over a supposed "blackout" against Louisville:

I checked on the MGoBlue site but I didn't see any mention of it. You'd think they would say something about it. The Notre Dame game a few years ago was amazing, but I remember there being advanced notice about it. I haven't heard a peep about tomorrow night. Seems strange.

I always just wear maize anyway. But the potential for rain is probably going to ruin that.
October 6th, 2017 at 9:41 AM ^
Just wear your yellow rubber ducky rain slicker.
We all have one, right?
Right?

is the front arriving in Ann Arbor late evening. It's still uncertain as to whether it will hit an hour or so before the end of the game or sometime after. The problem is that there is a strong likelihood of thunder with it. Hopefully, when we check the weather tomorrow a.m. it will have shifted a little later. The late morning and afternoon should be warm and dry though. Go Blue!

I have proper gear so I don't care about rain. However, that thunder and lightning is worrisome.

Is there an app to make the light maize?
