City is ticketing in the neighborhood today--beware. Just decided to do this on Thursday. The neighbors are none too pleased....they have never done this before and we were not notified! Even though they our email and know many of us personally. Crabby with a city and mayor I care very much about!

Good to see that list of Alum players, notice their are 2 - 76 and 1 - 77 year young players there - I hope I can walk at that age! What a great tribute and show of support for Coach Rodriguez, and his program

Oh yes also, I didn't see it in the release... where can I pick up the Heisman voting form for Tate, or will we have to wait for this fall? Thanks.

Mr. Bigelow... thank you for the 2010 Spring Rooster, I have emailed this to some of my former teammates as there seem to be some walk-ons, some local and others from the state of Michigan. This is really helpful to the faithful, seeing not only the scholarship players but walk-ons from the area. It must be 1 day, 22 hours, 31 minutes, and 15 sec's to kickoff of the Spring game. Weather calling for a beautiful day, sunny skies, smell of barbeque - beware, watch for a hail of pass receptions, slippery plays, a heat blitz of defense, a flood of offense, and lightning touchdowns... and that is just at our tailgate scrimmage game. Good news though, you'll see the same, albeit at a professional level from Michigan Football at the Spring Game. UM faithful singing the 'Victors Song'......students, please don't bring your bong.
