Are you saying the home school shouldn't provide anything? I mean you really don't need a locker room to survive. Purdue has been living off the rest of the Big10 and making money off of the success of the athletes from other schools. The least they could do is provide a locker room with enough square footage, a working HVAC system, and adequate medical equipment. Is that really too much to ask for? With the amount of money floating around the Big10, you would think they could take care of the visiting team a little better. But hey, lets act like the home school isn't making a ton of money off the other team. 2 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I didn't say not provide one and obviously my post was some what tongue in cheek with the "basics to survive". But....they don't have to be nice locker rooms. Hell, give them concrete floors, walls, wood benches and the old metal lockers. People used to complain about Iowa' pink locker room. I say hell....why not? Square footage? Sure, give them enough. But....that doesn't mean it's the same amount as the home locker room. Showers? Sure...but they don't have to be individual showers with imported tile and a big screen TV. Heck....I'd be tempted to give them the bare necessities and then hang a really nice large picture of the luxurious locker room the home team is enjoying right in the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment
nic Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 apparently there were some thing that pissed him off that was not made public except to the Big10. I am not sure if it was mentioned in this thread, but when his QB got hurt they had to bring him to the hospital to get checked due to not having the equipment necessary onsite. I am not sure what the unmentioned item was. Rumor is that it was a lack of toilets, which is kind of funny. I am not sure why they wouldn't say that publicly however. Heck, if you have to wait to long, just go on floor after the game and let the home team clean it up. :-) Quote Link to comment
Michiganball Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yea, a lot of it has that old college whimsy. While painting a room pink for the visitors is relatively harmless, not having AC in 90 degree weather, or the right medical equipment on site or proper sanitary restrooms, injury tables is going a bit far these days.

Maybe colleges have less equipment on site than I thought. Quote Link to comment

They might not have a x-ray machine at the stadium but they do have a world class hospital 3 blocks away. That is where they take the OSU players if they get hurt, I don't know why they would do anything different for the visiting players. 2 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It would be interesting if Riley and Harbaugh got fired in the same year. Quote Link to comment

I would be hugely shocked if they fired Harbaugh. He would take an NFL job way before Michigan would want to get rid of him. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So far, he has these records against rivals: MSU 1-2 OSU 0-2 (probably will be 0-3) He probably is going to end up this year losing to both MSU and OSU. And....he could easily also lose to Wisconsin and PSU. He was competitive in his loss to MSU this year. If he isn't competitive in losses to the other programs I listed, his seat is going to be hot.

Crusader Husker Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 My guess is that Michigan may play spoiler to either PSU of tOSU. Quote Link to comment
nic Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Michigan is dire need of a QB and right tackle. Losing their starting QB, left tackle, and best receiver for the season made a mediocre offense even worse. 5 turnovers didn't help last week. If their defense wasn't so good, it would have been a blow out. I doubt Harbaugh gets fired, even if he ends up 7 and 5. The D will keep games close. The problem is they can lose to anyone....except Rutgers. :-) Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It's kinda crazy to me that (some) Michigan fans can't appreciate what they have right now in Harbaugh. Quote Link to comment
