TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many of Michigan junior quarterback Denard Robinson's 11 completions went for touchdowns Saturday against Notre Dame?
A: Four
Minnesota Vikings running
back Adrian Peterson after
signing a seven-year, $100
million contract, according to
the Minnesota Star Tribune
In last season's Michigan vs Notre Dame contest, Robinson ran for 258 yards and passed for 244.
FACT OF THE DAY
THE MORNING BREW
Reformations for Memorial Stadium
Saturday's football game was psychological warfare from
the start. Dropped passes.
A 21-7 deficit in the second quarter.
Wide open Kale Pick to tie it at 21
in the first half's closing seconds.
Touchdowns called back for holding
penalties. Webb to Beshears on
4th and goal to win the game.
From an entertainment perspective, you simply can't complain after that one. But while sitting in the stands, the Brew found some other things that need reformation at Memorial Stadium.
Just about the last thing you want to be thinking at opening kickoff with keys jingling in your hand: "Is an animal being tortured somewhere?"
SPEAKERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STUDENT SECTION
Perhaps my mind is warped in some way, but the speakers at the bottom of the student section belowed and screeched far too often
for the Brew's ears. Half-second roars and snippets of sound leaked regularly like noise-rock gone wrong.
Everyone loves the band. The brass instruments. The awkward reinterpretations of pop songs for the kids. The funny hats. But please, band, let's revert to how it used to be: no amplification.
Some goon in a red shirt that looked like Pinky from "Pinky and the Brain" patrolled the student-athlete section with all the might he
OPEN UP THE STUDENT- ATHLETE SECTION
could muster (not much). Anytime some drankard stumbled his way to the section and thought "Wow, rows of open seats toward the front, what luck," Pinky told 'em to scram. Anytime same dame tried to sneak by, Pinky sincerely apologized, then told 'em to scram. Pinky's reasoning: "Without a yellow wristband that proves you're a student-athlete, hiccup, you can't, hiccup, sit here."
Pinky, the Brew understands that you're nothing but a pawn in this crazy game we call seating management, so you're not to blame. Rather, let's challenge the higher-ups that think this makes any sense. For two Saturdays straight, there's been a whole section of empty seats that no drankard or dame could occupy. The Brew proposes that all students who wish to sit in this section may do so, just not in front of the few student-athletes who show up. This way, prime seats won't be wasted, student-athletes still get their section. Pinky can
find some other reason to be sincere with dames, and you won't see drunkards show up with phony wristbands.
CHEAPER FOOD AND DRINKS
Vendor: "What? You want one?"
A vendor was having a hard time selling $5 cups of lemonade to the half-empty student-athlete section (shocking, I know). Let's rehash the scene when the Brew thought he was not a vendor, but a comedian.
Brew: "Ha! $5 for a lemonade. Good one, man!"
Vendor: What you want one!
Brew: "Wait, you're serious?
(Looking up) Holding penalty again? (Looking down) Ha! Good one!"
!
MORE FREE FOOD
Vendor: (Walking away, shaking head)
Minutes after the vendor/
comedian walked away from his
charade, a curly blond haired cheer-
leader handed me a warm, tin foil
wrapped burrito, presumably from Chipotle. The Brew told her "I love you!" which must have helped the odds of getting the burrito. After realizing that the vendor was serious about his $5 cups of lemonade, free dinner tasted much better.
Let's give away more free burritos, hot dogs and sacks on sticks. Rather than Big Jay chucking water balloons at unsuspecting fans, he could join the cheerleaders in a rousing game of "Hit the drunkard with a corn-dog." Dangerous and delicious!
GET RID OF THE TRACK
What is this, Pop Warner? The track is aesthetically unpleasant and unprofessional. People have been begging for years, and the Brew thinks this one has a chance.
