Do you really think so or are you just so slow it took you over a week thinking about it to come to that conclusion?

Sorry, but I don't obsess over a Michigan Hockey message board unlike some people....

Even though the schedule is not complete for next year it is starting to take shape. It looks like a somewhat difficult schedule.

Yost rennovations are progressing- http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150800099082316.476157.165335292315&type=3

Windows are being re-opened. Should be interesting to see it in the fall.

Thanks alfa. I was down there a couple of weekends ago and saw all of the construction on the outside. Didn't go inside though as it was probably locked (it was Easter Weekend). Your photos are appreciated.

It's near one of our favorite running routes- I think I'll try to swing by on my own....

Any word if they did the usual Athletic Department intentionally-destroy-on-path-to-dumpster route with the bleachers? Really wish I could buy/acquire a couple of seats to hang on the wall.

I can confirm that is the plan according to Josh Richelow, director of Hockey Op's. I was hoping to acquire part of the floor board where the CoY was tracking how many time we were on the mothership last season.

I'll never for the life of me understand the logic behind this. Especially considering the fact the Athletic Department is so keen to make money in every other conceivable way.

Red Simmons passed on Friday- http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/w-track/spec-rel/041312aaa.html, he was 102.

My wife and I met Red, as he was selling 50-50 tickets for many years. We enjoyed talking to him while getting our tickets. I had thought he originally gone to UM, as he told us that he had run aginast Jesse Ownes indoors at Yost (he sold tickets near where the sprints took place in Yost Field House). But we did know he was a women's track coach at UM, and was a classic supporter of the school. Great man, very sad to see him go.

We stopped by Yost last evening, just to see what's going on, and was able to get inside, from the south end.

They were finishing up tearing out all of the bleachers on the east side, so both sides now look the same- bare metal structure for the next stands. They were also cleaning out all of the press boxes, getting ready for the luxo box rennovation, but no start yet on the new, higher press boxes.

We also got a feel for how it will be with natural light- the lower windows on the west side were clear, and it was much like the old pictures when it was all glass- very neat. Long, long way to go, but it seems to be going reasonably well for the workers.

I'm kind of curious how the renovations will affect the acoustics in Yost. I was always fond of the fact that my voice boomed throughout the arena.

I assume the windows that they are putting in are thick? I wouldn't want the windows to shatter if it got REALLY LOUD in there (like the '98 Colorado College game, at least I think it was '98)...

I believe that was North Dakota in 1998. Michigan didn't play CC in the Regionals at Yost until the 2000's (02 or 03? w/o looking it up-when they also beat SCSU in the Molly game IIRC.They also beat Maine & Denver one of those times also, which, beating #1 Denver was absolutely as fantastic a game as the North Dakota game.)

My initial impression is that the glass will be opaque like the new Glick indoor football practice facility.I don't know how thick that is, but the acoustics at Yost shouldn't be affected by that as much as the increase in seating where the old press box was AND the updated sound system that should please our resident P.A announcer extrodinaire.

When is the projected completion date? I'm thinking June/July? I assume you'll post pictures too....

October. Like right before the first game. That's why they started the day after the last game.

Keep an eye on the facebook site I posted- the owner of that is posting pictures there every once in a while.

1998 was Princeton and North Dakota
2002 was SCSU and Denver (Molly-gate)
2003 was CC and Maine

I was not there for the '98 regional, but I was for '02 and '03. The '02 regional was the loudest I've ever seen Yost.

Last year, mgoblue.com released the schedule in the 3rd week of June. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something similar this year.

So you need Michigan to provide you with information? Typical...
