Mr. Grapentine, may your recovery be swift and complete.

I was hoping JH would come out on the field and shake his fist at the crowd like Bo did. But there’s no penalties for crowd noise now like there were then.

He's clearly never watched a hockey game before. That would be a great checklist for every scholarship athlete - go see a meet/match/game of each varsity sport, at least once, over their Michigan career. Also it would be wonderful to include the arts organizations, like the different bands and stage groups. It might be an impossible goal, especially for in-season events. I wish I had done that while I was there.

Can’t wait to buy the tshirt!! 

What if part of the money…

What if part of the money went to pay tuition for PWOs or other non-scholarship athletes? Instead of NIL $ those kids would get scholarships. Would that count as a charity? How much scholarship money would have to be handed out to get the charitable exemption?

As an old fart, I had low expectations for DJ Skee as soon as they showed that there was a live DJ on screen. But he was great!

The part about using the ref as a natural pick was what stuck out to me, and came around again in the 2019 spring game.

I keep wondering when they will make that illegal. It seems like at some point it will become a safety issue for the refs. The ref did get knocked down on that play.

Can I be offended by the racist, homophobic, misogynistic part and agree that Roger Goodell is a clueless anti-football asshole?

Besides the W, my favorite part of this game was watching the kids all jump around. College kids being college kids. So, so, fun, and really glad the coaching staff did not discourage that.

How can these abusive power dynamics be eliminated or minimized in the future? What are the most effective real world solutions? I had hoped PSU would use their situation to establish some academic resource to really dig into these human questions. They did establish some kind of center but funded it with less than the kids raise every year at THON. There is an opportunity for good coming out of this awful history.

Please do write a diary on…

Please do write a diary on NIL. Can someone start the “Wolverine NIL Foundation” consisting of funds named things like “Signing day fund” where every donor gets an email with the pdf of all the signed LOIs, and every signee gets to split the fund in proportion to their ranking? And a “Roster fund” for retention where every player who doesn’t transfer gets a portion based on PT or something measurable, and fans get a copy of signed program? You could do this for every sport. Could it even be made charitable somehow? It seems to me that once NIL is here, the money cannon is going to focus like the eye of Sauron on (especially football) recruiting, in every legal way that the many many brilliant mgolawyers can imagine and implement. Do coaches even have to be involved? When will this finally begin?

Penn State is, of course, taking the head in the sand approach. 520 tests done since 8/7, 3 total positive (students only). 2 tests this week, 1 positive. Classes just started Monday.

This is a huge win. Don’t diminish it because it isn’t football. Next week is at Penn State, at Bryce Jordan.  It sold out 17,000 tickets in an hour and a half for this upcoming match. Great to see Massa looking so good.
