Of course they don't because in the Pizza Salesman's mind it "cheapens the brand" but so does sending out emails from the athletic department selling $40 tickets for the Utah and Minnesota games.

$75. "Marquee games" which I think this year is just PSU - $95.
Rutgers Mike
Dr. Sad
Thanks. So there is no dynamic pricing? Rutgers cheapest seat for Tulane is $45. Same seat for Michigan is $110. Wisconsin is $95. Indiana is $45. Not sure what Penn State was but I'm guessing it was above the Michigan price.

Theres dynamic pricing. But the price never falls below that number unless it's part of a "special offer"

Dave Brandon is your Steve Pederson. I just learned that he was the last CEO of Domino's before they got rid of their shitty cardboard pizza and turned it into something semi-edible. What in the actual fuck qualified this guy to be an AD in the first place?

The Pizza Salesman makes Petercunt look competent.
Most of the time, I laugh at the comments on the message board linked below but this guy makes a lot of sense.

Well, The "seat license" at Nebraska was around long before Pederson...probably dating back to the 90's. Of course, it's not called a "seat license", but a mandatory "donation" to the booster club. But, it wasn't as controversial here because they grandfathered older season ticket holders in. If you had season tickets before it was implemented, then you aren't required to give a donation....even to this day. There are some blue hairs that have had season tickets on the 50 yard line for 30+ years and they aren't paying a dime above the face value But, I'm OK with that. With the recent stadium expansion, it also bottomed out the minimum donation level for many seats. Some endzone seats went from having a $750/seat donation to $150 or none at all in a few cases.
The worst thing Pederson did was fire a decent coach and give us Callahan after a badly botched coaching search. He definitely was an ego-maniac hell-bent on establishing his own legacy rather than continuing the legacy we already had. He pissed on a lot of traditions (changed the Herbie Husker mascot, took down all photos of previous All-Americans/Hall of Famers in the coaching offices and replaced them with pictures of current players, shut out former players from visiting, etc.). Nobody in the state liked the guy after he fired Solich...he was voted "enemy of the state" in a Sports Illustrated poll right after the Callahan hire. It's amazing he held on for 3 years after that. But, if Callahan had won games, all of that may have been overlooked.
But like Pederson, I don't think Brandon is gonna make it out of Ann Arbor on his own terms. His coach ain't winning and he is fucking up in too many other areas.

John Bacon who has no love for Dave Brandon, after Brandon yanked Bacon's media credential while Bacon was writing Fourth and Long, continues to rip Brandon to shreds.

How Michigan's Greed Alienated Fans
Not a Bacon article but Brandon moved the second home ice hockey game against Michigan State to Chicago after the deadline for season ticket renewals.

So Michigans athletic department is being run as well as Dominos. Sounds like they are also striving to produce the same quality of product as them.
I hope we get to see a touchdown today.

Michigan is bad and everyone involved should feel bad.
I hope to wake up tomorrow or Monday morning to find out everyone has been fired.

Shane Morris/Devin Gardner vs. Gary Nova should set quarterbacking back about 30 years.

Nah it will be great. I'll live blog it here, and you will read it.
"'I think this team can still win a championship," he said. "I really do, but we've got to play much better and we have to support each other as we do it.'"
Has anyone ever been more delusional? You've never even won a division there but yeah, I'm sure after this start your team will put it together and win a championship.

What did you want him to say?
God we are awful. We are giving up and won't win another game.

I'd prefer a bit of self-awareness. There is a space between "winning the Big Ten Championship” and "giving up." He could have said "We're struggling but we'll continue to work to get better." Claiming to still genuinely believe the team that lost a combined 61-14 to Notre Dame and (no offense to any Gopher fans) fucking Minnesota can win the Big Ten is a joke. Hey Brady, you're not fooling anyone.
I can't believe how terrible Michigan is this year. We were talking about it around the tailgate today before the Nebraska game...you guys are about where Nebraska was in 2007. Fucking awful...hope you feel better soon? 
There is coach speak then there is flat out lying. Hoke talking like that to us/media is demeaning imo, like were dumb and can't see the truth.

Whichever Michigan poster on here who said Brady Hoke has 'stabilized the program' when they were down four touchdowns to Notre Dame.
That last sentence (bolded) tells me he's at least lost the team.
I thought the same.

That was me. Lawd do I look like more of a dumbass than usual.
I still think there's a decent set up for a new coach. RichRod absolutely decimated the roster when he was here. His recruiting classes weren't great, and he ran off half of them. Hoke has had really well ranked recruiting classes, and the players are still on the roster. So a new coach is going to have players to work with. Hoke arrived with a decent senior class but nothing behind them. The new coach will arrive with a decent senior class plus at least a reasonable amount of players. The cupboard isn't bare right now.
