2018 Michigan Season thread

[Temp430]

Well, like many/most schools, ticket sales are definitely trending down. That's why I asked - sometimes coaches are made to do these things like what is happening Saturday, whether they like it or not.

I haven't heard any bad news about lagging ticket sales post Dave Brandon.  I think the athletic department retains many seats to sell through StubHub and they vary widely in price.  Section 1 tickets to the Wisconsin game were going for just under $500 each after StubHub fees a couple months ago.

seems odd, any other programs selling tickets on-line or through brokers
season tickets or just single game?

[Anonymous Coward]

I thought that was commonplace. Michigan has had a relationship with StubHub for years. Single game.

Jeff George Jr. transferring after being in Ann Arbor for all of 5 minutes. That one never made a lick of sense. Why would he want to come there and be 5th string?

That's what everyone said, but then it came out he was a walk on, and was basically a de facto GA, who wanted to be a coach

Yeah, I can't tell for sure what happened. I'm thinking JGJr either flaked on his plan to be on the coach track or he had lied to himself about where he expected/insisted to be on the depth chart (I'd be shocked if he expected to be in the Top 4 though). Of course, I'm thinking that despite insufficient information.

I can't think he thought he'd be higher than 4th.  That's why before it came out that he was walking on, my suspicion was that McCaffrey and Peters were transferring, and Harbaugh just wanted a warm body to not be be forced to burn Milton's redshirt if Patterson got nicked.  Because absent that, the move made no sense, for either side.  The walk on thing made perfect sense...until this.

Yeah. So we are guessing that either there was a falling out or he flaked(?)

The name makes me think flaked, but that may be unfair to him.

[Anonymous Coward]

Yeah I've seen that as the punch line in a few jokes, but i never followed the NFL and don't yet understand about his dad.

Lol. That was my initial reaction as well. Apples don’t always fall far
