All fans supporting Hockey and Basketball games this weekend

Yes you have heard about the message that the University sent out to the students maize rage group, but (IMO) they had to do this from the Big Ten office and shouldn't make your mind up for you.

In fact just be smarter about such things such as making signs up and showing them to the kids when they arrive or the students start chanting kids names. Also don't be mad if event staff comes and takes them away from you. As a rule clarification, however, the University or Big Ten cannot prevent individuals from making signs, chants, etc. that they want to bring for the game. So come support Michigan! If they have 500 plus signs that will be tough for the event staff to even mess around with especially if people wait till the recruits come in or when the students get the players to see and hear their chants.

Another thing remember PRYOR is very important, but so is all the kids and especially MARTIN right now. So make sure to give "love" to all the recruits. Also Elliott Mealer might be in the house as well and he needs the support more than anybody at this time.

It would be great if the recruits could go to both the hockey game (friday night) and also the basketball game (Saturday night) not sure if that is planned though because I am sure most will be at the basketball game for sure. Hopefully some come in early enough to where they can make it over to Yost Ice Arena and get a feel for the Michigan crowd. As always be loud and proud .... don't worry about the other people show your spirit.

I know some people think it isn't a good idea ... BUT .... Well certain sites are never wrong are they .... LOL .... That is one guys thoughts ... not all ... Also that poster (staffer) thinks that Pitt was a real threat .... LOL .... and that he was turned off from the crowd .... LOL .... he was never going to Pitt, Oregon or LSU (remember Bob L. said) a few weeks ago PSU was still in it .... LOL .... I guess when he was at osu they basically had a little parade that they walked Pryor down with the crowd on both sides the street as the recruits were going to events.

So I highly doubt that turned him off from osu since he has a lot of buddies going there and have met a lot of the recruits and have been hanging out with them.It will come down to osu and Michigan .... Before Coach Rod came to Michigan it was going ot come down to osu or wv .... now that Coach Rod is here can Michigan make up that much ground in a short period of time just with a new coach? We will see.

This message below is from the Maize Rage group who hasn't seen it yet:Hey everyone, just received this email from the Hoops program.
"All,
As you know, the UM student body is aware that Terrelle Pryor will be visiting this weekend and it is likely that they will show their enthusiasm for him at the MBB game on Saturday. At least that is what is being said on the radio. Although there is not much we can do to
control chants, we are obligated by NCAA rules to take action in cases where there are signs with a prospect's name or image on the sign. Thus, the event staff should be ready to take away any improper signs. Below is the related interp from the NCAA. Let me know if you have
questions or concerns.

Students displaying signs about a prospective student-athlete during a member
Interpretation: Reviewed NCAA Bylaws 13.4.3.3 (miscellaneous promotions), 13.11. (prospect's visit) and 88/12/21 staff minutes, Item No. 1-(h), in regard to a situation in which students display a sign about a recruit during a member institution's home game when the recruit is in attendance; confirmed that it would not be permissible for a sign bearing the prospective student-athlete's name to be displayed if the athletics department arranged the activity; further, when a member institution becomes aware that such an activity has occurred, the
institution would be required to take affirmative steps to stop such an activity.

Show your support for TP, but don't get pissed if they take your signs away!
