Can't pass up noting that the late astronomy professor Doc Losh is pictured with the M Club. She had a very simple grading system - A for athletes, B for boys and C for coeds.
As a graduate of the class of 1972, and a season ticket holder since 1968, I saw every one of AC's home games. Without a doubt, Anthony Carter was the greatest Michigan receiver during my lifetime and, as Bo said, a true "motor genius". Thanks for the great post, Ace. This is a keeper.
I started going to games in Michigan Stadium in the 50's with my grandfather. I was there when Bo beat Woody 24 to 12 in 1969, and I've attended the Big One in the Big House ever since. I've been a season ticket holder since my freshman year of 1968. I fought as hard as I could against the quarter BILLION dollar luxury box expansion to benefit the Martin corporate fat cats. Tradition, I said. Fiscal responsibility! But I felt little support when Martin (and abetting regent Brandon) pushed through the descecration of our stadium. Tradition? Oh how I wanted to keep the tradtion, and the beauty. But I was told that tradition needed to give way to other values, and that I was stupid and short sighted. Now we know where this all leads. Fool us once so easily, and they'll fool us again, over and over. What do we matter anyhow? We're nothing but money-green meat. See you in September OSU. Thanks for the memories.
Hey folks - they spent a QUARTER BILLION dollars on these suckers. Let's wait until September and see what the average fan will get out of it. My guess is - nada, zip, zero. Just think what the average fan could have gotten if they had spent half of that amount on us. You can say that these palaces will be self supporting, but I'll believe it when I see it. My prediction is that within three years they will start passing the cost to us.
