The State of College Football Starts at 1:00 We are uh. We are out of content (still managed to record a two hour podcast). With regards to Ben Franklin's sex life. Craig Ross turns 3,008, wish him a happy birthday (still hasn't seen a worse Michigan men's basketball team). The Big Ten and SEC got together for a working group and the thing they were working on was screwing the rest of college football. They already want a 14 team playoff with auto bids. What would be different about college football right now if Dave Brandon was in charge? Nothing. College football is great for reasons that the people who only care about money could never understand. Adding Maryland and Rutgers was the beginning of the end, Brian is going to dance on Jim Delaney's grave. What can you even do about it besides complain about it on podcasts. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Big Ten Hockey Tournament vs Notre Dame Starts at 23:41 They didn't make it easy but Michigan hockey sweeps Notre Dame in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. Nobody played better than Notre Dame's goalie, despite giving up nine goals. Notre Dame is 10-1 in games where they only score three goals, they can't score but the goalie keeps them in games. Was it an icing? No. Another week, another discussion of the terrible major calls. The Ohio State vs Wisconsin game determines whether Michigan plays in East Lansing or Minneapolis (Michigan will play in Minneapolis). Michigan is at their ceiling in terms of RPI (#10), but the gap between them and 14 is very small. According to Alex, Michigan is a 99%+ chance to make the NCAA tournament, so they've basically punched their ticket. Who stays and who goes after the season? Make Brian an NHL GM, he plays Football Manager and won the championship in the Turkish league. 3. Warde Manuel and Juwan Starts at 1:03:22 Takes hotter than Warde Manuel's seat if he retains Juwan Howard. Warde Manuel has become controversial amongst Michigan fans, and by controversial we mean everyone wants to fire him except Santa Ono. What is Warde doing if he wants to keep Juwan around? Seth has been told that Warde Manuel has repaired Michigan's relationships with the NCAA and Big Ten, Brian has curled himself into a ball and crawled under Walter White's floor and is laughing maniacally. R.I.P. paper tickets. If he doesn't get rid of Juwan Howard, what is actually going on? There are a lot of Fargo references in this podcast. Warde is the head of the college football committee in charge of the worst college football playoff we've ever seen. 4. Gimmicky Top Five - Non-Michigan Fandoms Starts at 01:29:22 Five non-Michigan things we are fans of. Oh no, how many of us are just fair weather Detroit fans? The National Parks are good and you should go but not when I go because they're overcrowded now! Brian does not hate National Parks, why would you think that? Who is the bigger dork, Seth or Brian? Shout out to Lindsay Ellis, the Brian Cook of film theory and why The Hobbit Trilogy is bad. Brian turns down a $1300/month murder basement.

Basketball Post-Minnesota starts at 1:00 How did we get to a throwaway year? We got fool's gold five-stars who weren't great college players, Frankie bolted for insane reasons, Llewellin got hurt, Michigan own-goaled themselves on Terrance Shannon, Hunter doesn't have the same motivation. Next year? Recruits aren't going to change things but could get everybody back. Year it's like: 2006, except we're not going to have a linebacker covering the slot...unless it's Moten? [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Football: What's Coming Back starts at 32:57 Getting back the OL is a bigger deal than people realize: OL get better. Third cornerback? Odd they haven't hit the portal. They do have options: McBurrows, last year's freshmen, Jyaire Hill...got a long season ramp-up to get him used to playing in the system. One-game season? Or two if Drew Allar is ready. Easy schedules won't last because UCLA and USC will be on the schedule IMMEDIATELY. Coaching staff continuity other than Mr. Computer Crimes. 3. Football: What Happened in the AD's Office? starts at 49:49 What does the way the Harbaugh situation down mean? Might mean Warde is out, or is being told to be out, or just that Ono isn't going to participate in the old song and dance that only Michigan would still dance to. Name one thing Warde's done? Seth: He's extracted at least as much money from the donors as Dave Brandon did without annoying me once. 4. Seth's Hockey Podcast starts at 1:06:27 A lucky(?) three points at Minnesota since the Gophers clanged four off the pipe, but also a great way to utilize Michigan's speed. Like the lineup change because Samo is going to get his no matter what line you put him on. Getting close to being able to roll out three scoring lines when Nazar is ready. The league is suddenly a gauntlet. MUSIC: "Bandages"—Hot Hot Heat "What Ever Happened"—The Strokes "Your Dog"—Soccer Mommy “Across 110th Street”

Welcome to a brand new premium series! Here's our 1st episode together for free!Dave Zed, Brandon Thomas, and myself are... the Fractal Family. On this episode I introduce Dave and his audience to the Bock Saga - not to focus on it, or even history/mythology, but to broaden the scope of our conversations going forward. The Bock Saga, especially it's linguistic application, is a wrench in the spokes of not only mainstream history, but also many alternative theories as well. I am very excited to say that Brandon and Dave both took these concepts and RAN with them. That's what we need folks. Consider EVERYTHING!!!

Please go subscribe and like their podcast, and leave your hot takes about this game in the reviews. 1. Offense starts at 1:00 It's almost basketball season! Michigan can't get away from shooting itself in the foot, especially on substitutions and ill-timed false starts. Cade's passing game emergence in this game was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. The Andrel Anthony show results in an all-time hot take from last week. Is he the new number one receiver? Does any of this matter? Seth's best guess on the JJ fumble is that Corum might not have had the correct playcall. Erick All has 10 catches! [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defense starts at 22:13 Defense takes a step back, particularly at defensive tackle. Lots of rotation at defensive tackle and leaving the starters off the field. Michigan was not prepared for Michigan State's tempo. Linebackers were fine, cornerbacks held up for the most part. Moten had a great shot at an interception and Dax Hill got beat deep on the MSU 4th down touchdown on a tip-of-the-hat throw.  3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, and Game Theory starts at 34:36 Hot takes so hot they would be sitting innocuously on a Michigan message board. AJ Henning Punt drop one of only a few missed opportunities on special teams. Moody kicks seven field goals, four of them count. Robbins' botched fake punt run should've just been a called fake punt run. Frustration about field goals and red zone decision making, including a Charlie Weiss comparison (miss you big guy xoxoxo). 4. Around the Big Ten, wsg Jamie Mac starts at 52:57 Michigan fans may be miserable, but so is most of the Big Ten. Nebraska pulled a Dave Brandon ticket sale scheme and Adrian Martinez got booed en route to four interceptions. Minnesota rows the boat to their own destiny. Wisconsin starting to look like Wisconsin as they also control their own destiny. Jamie has few notes about his Hoosiers losing to Maryland as Seth attempts to pronounce Tagovailoa correctly. Rutgers vs Illinois, happened. Does Ohio State have holes in the secondary that Michigan could exploi- nope, not even going to finish that sentence. Penn State actually getting the benefit of the doubt on holding non-calls. MUSIC: “How Not to Drown”—CHVRCHES feat.

In this episode, the boys really clean up. We solve your marital issues and Dave comes in to knock down a few silos! Book Discussed: The 80 / 80 Marriage: A New Model for a Happier, Stronger Relationship

Things discussed: Gymnastics Natty! BTN Plus is awful. They are making it impossible to grow their fanbases because you have to be hardcore to be there. Production is the pits. Was Michigan right to quash their spring and keep the spring game to a minute of useless tape? Big discussion about how the program is killing any goodwill that’s left, only letting the haters air their grievances. The 20- and 30-somethings aren’t as tied to Michigan anymore because they haven’t been engaged. They’re Dave Brandon’ing. Basketball: did the opposite. Craig tells the story of Beilein walking the media through a practice. How did Al Borges benefit from inviting Heiko in?

Setup (starts at 1:00) The leadup: Rich Rod era, Practicegate, The Clans, The Process. Sap & Seth try to guess the membership and standings of the Legends & Leaders divisions. Introducing Hoke and his staff. And then, magically, the seniors step up and decide nobody's going to transfer. 2. The Team, with Craig Roh (starts at 25:07) Rich Rod left a team recruited for outside zone, big runs with the quarterback, and 3-3-5 defense. Craig helps us go through the roster and how they transitioned to the new staff's concepts. 3. Introducing Denard: Coaching Change. (starts at 1:01:04) Talking to the Wonderful One about his recruitment, Rich Rod, and that time he was so quiet yelling hike only Lewan jumped. 4. The WMU Game and Setup for UTL (starts at 1:14:56) The Jake Ryan coming out party. Brandon Herron was the most athletic dude on the team. Denard had no idea Dave Brandon told WMU's AD they're conceding.

Dave Brandon by Les McKeown

Presenter Danny takes over the deeds of Dandyland (the official Dandon Brave Presents game based format!) to host a fan surveyed version of Family Feud (more like Fan-ily Feud in this case!).  You won't believe how crazily our contestants (Dave & Brandon) and our survey answer these fun-ass questions!  Plus some of our greatest audio issues yet!! 

Dave Brandon shares the following powerful story: “I'm not much for jewelry. A wedding ring was all I ever wanted —until now. Next to my wedding ring, on the little...

"I'm trying very hard not to impulsively adopt a cat." The Sponsors We can do this because people support us. You should support them! The show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan we’d be furloughed SBNation writers right now. AND THEY ARE DOING THIS FOR CHARITY: Proceeds from UGP and the Bo Store right now are going to support our front line workers at Michigan Medicine. Our associate sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, and FuegoBox 1. Construction/Deconstruction of Michigan's Basketball Roster starts at 1:00 Program was blindsided by DDJ and Castleton leaving, Isaiah Todd getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from a suddenly cash-throwing G-league, and Josh Christopher going full Dave Brandon. Would we be this disappointed if both five-stars had bailed earlier? Good class for building for the future but it grates that we have the bad luck for the G League to start paying people half a million out of nowhere. It's going to be kind of a NTDP for the NBA: will force Michigan to go more into Top-30 guys instead of Top-10 guys. Talk Mike Smith: what's he good at? Vulnerabilities? Michigan might look for a late-riser recruit or if immediate transfers are allowed that'll be a big market. [The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump] 2. Football Massachusetts Recruiting starts at 25:29 Boston College blogger confused how Michigan expects to win championships with Boston College's guys. Exception: tight end. If you're going to get a 3-star out of Massachusetts it should be a Kwity Paye or Mo Hurst (who was nearly a 4-star and had an Ohio State offer). Can't compete with the big teams unless you get those talented defensive tackles—Michigan used to get them and now they're trying to Moneyball them. 3. Hot Takes and Gimmicky Top Five starts at 50:19 Hot takes will make you angry but we've forgotten how to do this (also bring up the Fuegobox Choco Challenge: if 25 people play and tag Seth on twitter Seth will eat a death chocolate bar as well. Things go off the rails pretty quickly, and we are HUGE nerds. CFBRisk has two levels: participation and Texas A&M memes. If you invite Seth to your D&D group he will probably accept. 4. Rapid Fire Questions from the Internet starts at 1:22:21 The A-Team of Michigan. Non-con home-and-home in football & hoops you'd like to see? Best & worst things about quarantine. Most important pantry stable. Favorite "social distancing" play. Strangest draft anomaly? Best way to ensure people stay 6 feet away from you? Favorite board game. Best game to watch during stay-at-home. Can you just make fun of MSU? Favorite Ann Arbor streets? Impact of shortened season? Writers who had the greatest influence on us (I skipped to save you all from 30 minutes of me naming people, and from having to defend Mitch Albom being on the list. Also Chris B. Brown and James Light as X's and O's writers, the guy who used to draw MS Paints on plays in the diaries was the inspiration for Neck Sharpies, Tres Crow, John Kryk and Steve Sap and Greg Dooley for drawing me into Michigan history, all the guys Brian & Ace mentioned especially DFW, Joe Falls, Adam Jacobi, the Banner Society folks, Natalie Wiener…I can't.

David Bazan returns to Exvangelical along with Brandon Vedder to discuss Strange Negotiations, the new documentary about Bazan's life and career. Brandon Vedder directed the film, which is out now on iTunes.This convo begins in media res as Dave & Brandon were gracious enough to chat with me this weekend between screenings of the documentary. We get right into it, and cover the ins and outs of developing a documentary (which features concert and travel footage from 2015 through 2018), how the 2016 election impacted the film, the value of granting permission and recognizing autonomy, and how we relate to Christianity now. You can purchase Strange Negotiations on iTunes now.Support the show by rating and reviewing it on Apple Podcasts, telling your friends about it, and via Patreon.This episode was produced by Jake Lewis.

Former Michigan football player and former Michigan Athletic Director Dave Brandon visited Schembechler Hall for a sit-down conversation with Coaches Jim and Jack and Matt Dudek serving as host. The conversation starts back reminiscing about the early 1970s and continues to the present day.

Hey, why not a little extra boring bonussssss for your Bills!  Your Presenters hand-select tracks off the Hot Country Singles, Easy Listening and R&B Charts charts from 1972.  Plus the cross-generational cross-firing segment that savagely pits number  one hits from 1972 against number one hits from 2012, it's The Millennial Matchup (aka The Comparables).  Also, Danny reveals his startling wedding news to the unsuspecting Dave & Brandon!  

DBP is back in full capacity (or incapacity lol) with our OFFICIAL PREMIER EPISODE of SEASON 3 - the Power Hour!!!  Your Presenter Danny home-brewed a 60 song playlist revolved around the classic movie party game "60 Degrees of Separation w/. Kevin Bacon" and Your other Presenters, Dave & Brandon are forced (sadly against their will) to compete for the honour & financial gain of two lucky & unsuspected DBP listeners.  Each song on Danny's list represents a movie that connects to the song that follows by way of an actor or actress in common.  It is Dave & Brandon's mission to successfully make the most connections with each passing song.  Who will win Danny's sick little game of drunken madness?  Well you got to listen to find out!  No way we're putting a spoiler of that caliber in the description lol.  Anyway, DRINK!  

Joe talks about why less is more with your mission statement, the importance of empowering the entire team to think and take action, and why collaboration is the key.   Bio: Today our guest is the Director of Athletics at Colorado State University Joe Parker. Joe joined the Rams in March of 2015 following a successful administrative career spanning elite programs such as Texas Tech, Michigan and Oklahoma, where he and I first connected, among others. Joe was a three time All-America swimmer at the University of Michigan, and was referred to as a Zen Master in a recent article by the hometown newspaper. Interview: First Joe is it true that you are Zen Master? Coloradoan article VB coach Tom Hilbert Why don't we start by having you fill in a few of the gaps in your bio I just referenced, and tell us how you got where you are today. Didn't discover athletics as a career until late 20s Did a bunch of informational interviews with the Texas Associate ADs Worked as an intern in development and was off to the races Customer care Event set up Donor benefits such as tickets/parking Had worked between undergrad and grad in the private sector The career fit with him This is a give-back profession; more experienced people are almost always happy to share thoughts/advice with those just coming up or interested in the profession What did you learn about leadership as a student-athlete at Michigan that continues to impact how you lead today? Not everyone in athletics was a student-athlete; presents some advantages in that you realize and understand that it's not easy to be a student-athlete Build core of who he was as a person; knowing your role in a team; supporting those around you; accrues to the betterment of the entire team Often draw on those experiences as a student-athlete; understand what it takes for those student-athletes to be successful You were handed a fairly sizable task when you first came aboard at Colorado State, and that was building a new football stadium. What was that like to walk into and tell us about a few of the challenges and successes you've experienced. Context: CSU liked that he has been part of large capital projects at Texas, Oklahoma and Michigan when they hired him; so he understood what it took to go from start to finish He joined four months after the university decided to move forward; didn't have all the fundraising in place yet nor was there a shovel in the ground Negotiated new multimedia rights deal with Learfield Secured several naming rights within the stadium Sold out 100% of premium seating/clubs At the beginning there was a lump in the throat not knowing whether the stakeholders would participate On-campus stadium is so key to interaction with the main campus and the university How would you describe your leadership philosophy, and where did that come from/how did it develop? Over time he has had great mentors who have given him a lot of autonomy to develop his own way Very collaborative, though he knows ultimate decisions will be his; he likes to delegate as much as possible to those closest to the action – everyone is a leader Seek input from as many people as possible; then get three/four key people in the room and get their thoughts and work toward a consensus; then advance it Always like to have partners in decisions; particularly your president He tells people they have ability to take action because many will sit back and wait if they don't have the title He can't be everywhere at every moment and can't think about everything that needs to be thought about. You also came to CSU replacing someone who was in many ways your opposite; how did you approach that dynamic and how would you advise us to handle similar circumstances? Hard to speak to the past sometimes There are lots of effective leadership styles Just be you; can't present yourself any differently or people will see through it Didn't really have to sell that to the staff; but you do need to be patient and demonstrate a level of competency What is the greatest leadership challenge you have faced as an athletic director and how did you handle it? What did you learn from it/would you do anything different? When you encounter a moment where someone hasn't been able to meet expectations and you haven't been able to get them up to where they should be There has to be a separation and that's a very difficult call You can't hesitate when you see someone making a misstep; you have to be candid and let people know what you think; address it early It's unfair to let a lot of issues to accumulate without them being addressed and then it's too late; that's when people feel blindsided You spent a number of years at schools that were THE #1 show in town. Most of us do not have that luxury and now you are in a crowded market with Colorado, the Denver professional teams, etc. How do you go about distinguishing yourself among the competition for attention? Wonderful thing about intercollegiate athletics – you have students with an affinity for your program and want a good experience; this is the most important piece, because students in the building has the largest impact on the environment Next you have alumni who also have an affinity for your school and programs; and they usually live nearby as well Then a focus on the local community The Broncos have done a great job engaging the entire state, but CSU has worked with them as well The motivations between what you do on the professional level v. college are very different; mission statements will be very different (Jeremy Darlow book Brands Win Championships – not getting distracted by trying to have mass appeal but instead focus on those close to you) Must constantly work hard to encourage students to participate; the in-game experience is critical to how people engage with your program and university Have you identified a secret sauce when it comes to recruiting and hiring the best people for your team (coaches and/or staff)? The process is key Collaboration is an important part of the process Put a diverse group together so you can see things from all sides and then start narrowing the pool Bring a few on campus for face to face, and create a broad experience for the candidates when they come on campus (What about advice for candidates to prepare) – Core competencies for whatever the role is; someone who can articulate their passion for the role; experience should be conversational; not overly rehearsed; carry the vocabulary of the job; authentic in who they are and how they present themselves What is your take on mission statements, values statements, etc.? How, if at all, should we implement them into our organizations effectively? Most mission statements are too verbose; they need to be concise and memorable; they have to articular the purpose of the organization Dave Brandon at Michigan really showed him how to make missions statements/strategy/guiding principles/long-range goals into objectives that worked and made sense; very simple approach They did have a 44 word mission statement when he first arrived; nobody knew it or could recite it or get close “To educate, engage and excel” is what they wound up with after 1.5 days of discussion (Jimmy Seibert on Episode 008 did something similar and narrowed their value words from 15 down to three) You want people to be able to embed the thoughts into their daily work life What advice do you have for young professionals who are striving to be better leaders or maybe even trying to get that first opportunity to lead? More important than just getting a job is to understand your passion and connect it with the job you're seeking If you weren't getting paid, would you enjoy what you're doing? What habit or productivity tool has been key to your success? At the end of a day, when you're done, do three other things before you go home Write a list of three things you want to accomplish the next morning when you first get in These were from former Michigan AD Bill Martin Thank Yous/Acknowledgements: Antioch Live/Clear Day Media Group – music More here.

Dave Brandon is the CEO of Toys "R" Us and Chairman of the Board of Domino's Pizza, which make him a supercool grandpa — and one of the most successful businessmen in the consumer space. Brandon was CEO when Domino’s went public in 2004, the largest IPO in restaurant history, and was brought in to run Toys “R” Us by Bain Capital presumably to do the same for the toy store chain. If that happens—and speculation is 2017 may be the year—Brandon would be a rare CEO to oversee three IPOs, having also taken Valassis Communications public in the early 1990. But Brandon has suffered his share of setbacks too. In between Domino’s IPO and running Toys “R” Us, he was the Athletic Director at his alma mater, the University of Michigan from 2010 to 2014. Brandon’s tenure was marred by controversy and even student protest. So does Brandon have any regrets? Listen to this episode of Fortune Unfiltered to find out.

We take a pause to reflect on the NFL season, so Peter and Joel looks at how the football season is shaping up past the halfway point. What do they think about this week's top four teams in the College Football Playoff rankings? Also, NCAAF Week 11 picks, NFL Week 10 predictions against the spread, and University of Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon finally resigns. The post Episode 78: NCAAF – Ohio State at Michigan State appeared first on Down the Sidelines.

For decades, students at Michigan games were assigned seats, with the seniors getting the best ones. But for some games last year, a quarter of the 20,000 or so people in the student section were no-shows. So, athletic director Dave Brandon decided to switch them to general admission – first come, first seated -- to get them to show up on time -or, at all. The students went ballistic. Yes, some can display a breathtaking sense of entitlement, and they won’t get much sympathy from the average fan, who has to pay three or four-times more. But before we bash the students too much, perhaps we should ask why they’re not showing up. Punishing your paying customers for not liking your product enough is probably not something they teach at Michigan’s Ross School of Business. The athletic department hasn’t asked them, but I have a few hunches. Because tickets are so expensive now, and games take so long, the current students didn’t go when they were kids – which is when you get hooked on the
