unlikely to be full any time this year [Patrick Barron]

I wish I had anything other than grimace emojis to show you. Michigan announces limited seating at Michigan Stadium this fall "if U-M is able to have a 2020 football season":

  • There will be no football season tickets. Status as a season ticket holder remains unchanged, and season ticket locations will be retained for the 2021 season.
  • If U-M is able to have fans at Michigan Stadium, all home games will be sold on an individual game basis, with sales limited to current season ticket holders and students. There will be no ticket sales to the general public.
  • For season ticket holders who elected to adjust their season ticket location/quantity during the June upgrade period, that new location/quantity will be retained for the 2021 season.
  • Details regarding a potential individual game sale will be communicated once a decision on playing with or without fans is finalized.
  • In the event that Michigan is able to have fans at any sporting event this season, all forms of ticketing will move to a mobile platform.

We've heard on background that we're looking at maybe 20k people, most of them students. Obviously this is a developing situation, as they say. If I was a betting man I'd guess the number of fans would be zero.

Sponsor note. Do you have a bar? Close that thing and ask the government to help you out. Do you have some other kind of business? Any other kind of business? Er… almost any other kind of business? ("Give Covid To Your Enemies Co" is illegal, sir.) Well, I've got the lawyer person for you.

Contracts! Incorporation! Legal advice! Gentle dissuading when you tell him about your idea to open a bar called "M Is For Anything Other Than Mask"? Richard Hoeg will provide all of this to you. Avoid bad decisions. Make good ones. Richard Hoeg.

Ah yes, still Harbaugh. Someone had this video in a vault for years and decided that now was the time we needed it:

DRC, now four, reports that this video is "not great" and it makes him feel "bad… in an angry kind of way." I have given his take a thumbs down. He is unmoved.

Michigan is set to start over at end. Rashan Gary went in the top ten of the NFL draft—as an outside linebacker, for some reason—and Chase Winovich, as per usual, was less hyped but has been more productive. But… eh, it'll be fine. Not great, probably. Replacing Winovich's production is going to be tough. But Michigan has one established Big Ten player who could get a lot better, one guy who looks like a rising star, and a hugely productive grad transfer.

There will probably be a dropoff; it probably won't be severe.
