From the Desperate Marketing Department...

So somehow because I ordered Michigan football tickets five years ago when I visited Ben, I ended up on the Michigan Athletic Department mailing list. Normally I just delete the message. However, I had to open up this one which announced an Exclusive Video from Michigan Men's Basketball.

Here is the video. We'd love to embed it, but it's difficult to disable AutoPlay in a video created by Flash.

Now this isn't quite on par with the Applachian State "hot hot hot" video, but wow... Michigan talks about their "history." You mean the Chris Webber years that didn't happen. They talk about their "rivalries." You mean getting your ass kicked consistently by Michigan State, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio State? They're super excited for Beilein to take over. Beilein is a huge step up from Tommy (I look like the coach on "Hang Time") Amaker. But still... when you look at the prices they are quoting for season tickets, you gotta think that somebody is going to think twice about it.

I know a couple who have had season tickets to not only to U of M football but also basketball. they have had them for the last 30 years. One would think they would have pretty good seats by now, but oh, they still say they can get a nose bleed from where they are and now the school has tacked on additional charges just to hold your seat. $100. The way Michigan is playing this year they should be glad that someone showed up for the games...and speaking of Chris I take money on the side Weber, did he ever have to give up the titles that he won while at U of M.

What, you mean that Ron Coleman and Jerret Smith stuff doesn't get you excited? How about the Maize Rage?

I am so ashamed.

By the way, I like our 34-6 home record over the last two years. First of all, really? Secondly, if that were any real accomplishment, Amaker would still be the coach.

Mr. Anonymous:

Exactly what titles did C-Webb win at Michigan? Please fill me in. The rest of the world saw Duke and UNC win.
