ya....it is not the highest capacity at the moment

8/15/2008 3:59:34 PM

preaseason #24 makes no sense.

ssly, we shouldnt be ranked

8/15/2008 7:03:14 PM

^^ who is then? UM was biggest last year, and they won't lose any seats until the renovation is further along... no one else expanded over them that i know of...

8/16/2008 1:48:45 AM

I'm not calling the stadium weak, i'm calling the team weak, and this strange outpouring of fan support. I mean, I had family that went to Oklahoma and i'm a pretty big Sooners fan but I just post on Oklahoma message boards, mainly because the majority don't care or don't know more about OU football.

8/16/2008 2:08:43 AM

^^they were supposed to have the renovations in place for this season, or at least the renovations that were going to remove ~1,300 seats.

i'll call it weak

i've been to all the big sec stadiums, most of which are between 80k-90k, and they were all MUCH louder than the big house

i guess you could just blame the fans, but the stadium isn't really designed to keep in any noise even if they did decide to cheer

the big house was probably the biggest letdown in all of my college football roadtrip experiences

8/16/2008 9:04:27 AM

renovations will end up adding 750 seats or so....

beaver stadium is hands down the most beautiful stadium in the country

umm wow...I don't know how you can come up with that conclusion. don't be fooled by that aerial shot. have you ever seen it from the outside? it looks like an erector set. there are a ton of stadiums in college football that are much more prettier.

There's Arkansas' Razorback Stadium, Army's Michie Stadium, FSU's Doak-Campbell Stadium, Colorado's Folsom Field, BYU's LaVell Edwards Stadium, Washington's Husky Stadium, The Rose Bowl, UGA's Sanford Stadium, UVA's Scott Stadium, as much as it pains me Ohio State has a nice stadium in Ohio Stadium, etc.

beautiful, and should trap more sound... (but more importantly the fans need to respond to it and make some noise)

Kevin Newsome decommitted today. Hopefully he'll come back to his senses.

I'm pretty sure that, like you, we all understand what it's like to have never attended the University of Michigan.

8/19/2008 8:43:52 PM

do you have a point with this?

8/19/2008 8:44:34 PM

Not really, I'm just being a dick on the internet

8/19/2008 8:45:52 PM

nice link to the updated pics of the renovations packguitar.... i'm getting excited about the opener against Utah now

8/19/2008 11:09:26 PM

its a BIG stadium, but really lacks character.

enjoyable video

i was at the 3OT game vs MSU in 04.... what a great one

8/21/2008 11:05:07 PM

you lucky son of a bitch

my dad got to go to 1997 charles woodson vs. ohio state
he wouldnt even take me

i was fortunate enough to be at the app state one though!!!

8/22/2008 12:49:47 AM

oh noes

my sister (an ASU alum) and my mom (a UM alum) went to that one last year...

8/22/2008 10:25:41 AM

i remember that mercury hayes vs. virginia live

THAT was something special for Lloyd Carr's first game ever...
Then Florida last year for his last game ever..

8/22/2008 11:17:43 AM

yea, the UF game was definitely the highlight of last season

oh. my. god. i can't believe that kid is going to UM.. badass video though, i hope he can play half that good in college. I dunno if he's got Brian Leonard's durability to be leaping over a bunch of college players. should be fun to see what he can do though.

8/23/2008 12:12:55 AM

That's that white guy from Texas who's supposed to be really good.

8/23/2008 12:28:53 AM

oh, right.

well... no fairweather fan here...
GO BLUE!

let's keep learning and try to beat the slow big ten teams

apparently utah is supposed to be much better than expected... we'll see how the rest of their season turns out

8/31/2008 2:36:37 PM

looks like just like last year, it took you guys a half of football to get serious, and you just couldnt overcome the 1st half deficit

at least you dont have Dennis Dixon and Oregon next week though, and at least people who dont realize App is a quality team arent laughing at you all week this year

8/31/2008 2:38:33 PM

everything you just said i do agree with

defense did not exist but... ahh... im done,,, no need to analyze this game.. they got beat

8/31/2008 2:41:51 PM

All right...shake that one off. Just shake it off. A mediocre start, but with no implication on the Big Ten.

Let's just win 6 games. Please. I don't care if we lose the bowl...just get to one. Keep the streak alive.

8/31/2008 5:08:01 PM

at least Utah is a I-A team

8/31/2008 9:01:19 PM

ouch

8/31/2008 9:56:17 PM

Utah is a damn good 1-A team too

8/31/2008 11:08:49 PM

I wouldnt say damn good... better than average, but I consider damn good to be top 15 or so

9/1/2008 12:12:15 AM

ouch, was rough driving 12 hrs to and fro to see that game... but Utah definitely knows how to run the spread. With their QB UM would be a decent contender this year. I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to a BCS bowl undefeated.

Utah's offense was non existent in the 2nd half... but UM's only real chance came on that 2pt conversion attempt. UM never put together a long drive the entire game and all of their points came off of short fields.

Hopefully Miami OH will be a pushover so they can learn a thing or two before traveling to ND.

9/5/2008 12:48:47 AM

Win is a win, cupcake or no. 5 more to go.

9/6/2008 2:56:17 PM

taking another look at my earlier prediction for the season (without seeing how dismal the offense is), i think getting a W at ND will be crucial to securing a bowl bid later in the season. Fortunately ND looked terrible vs SDSU. It COULD be a defensive battle..
