Things discussed:

• Gymnastics Natty!
• BTN Plus is awful. They are making it impossible to grow their fanbases because you have to be hardcore to be there. Production is the pits.
• Was Michigan right to quash their spring and keep the spring game to a minute of useless tape?
• Big discussion about how the program is killing any goodwill that’s left, only letting the haters air their grievances.
• The 20- and 30-somethings aren’t as tied to Michigan anymore because they haven’t been engaged. They’re Dave Brandon’ing.
• Basketball: did the opposite. Craig tells the story of Beilein walking the media through a practice.
• How did Al Borges benefit from inviting Heiko in?
