Funny, but useless. When the stadium floor was lowered to increase the sightlines for the lower rows, grass, although tried, is not practical. UM stadium has an underground spring that runs underneath it. The floor is now too close (remember all the clumps of sod flying up during the mid-late 90's and the constant slipping even on sunny days) to the surface. We had the best, even got top guys from rival MSU which is a big Ag School still, and they couldn't make it work either. So it is all artificial from here on out.

Ok than plane you are seeing is not UM's, but owned by a private individual. Still not difinitive, but less threatening.


I wouldn't necessarily say it's "less threatening."

I'm sure there are plenty big Michigan boosters who own Lears who would chauffeur Brandon and/or his staff to BTR.

I just don't think they'd do it in a marked jet.

They'd take a commercial flight, probably under an assumed name.

Every indication is Brandon is here in AA today. Supposed to be talking with the search firm, not travelling.

But still, why would that plane have gone out of its way to be in Baton Rouge?

There are businesses in BR, its not all about LSU. That being said, it's a very strange coincidence at least but seems a bit overt to me given we haven't finished the season.

I dont think he is saying they arent the same plane. He is saying that plane just doesnt belong to the University of Michigan. That pic in the first post isnt from BTR airport this morning or anything.

How about Dallas Executive Airport? That looks like a field for private jets.

With the strange track on this flight, is it possible either

A) Michigan rents it out when not in use

Or

B) Owned by some booster/fan with no connection to the coaching search

I think he is saying that that plane is owned by a booster and not officially by the university. The one in the youtube pic is the same one that is here.
