I echo what Chris said above. The glass building on the side looks like a UFO. It’s HORRIBLE! A glass UFO has landed next to Crisler! What were these architects thinking??? I love the fact that the building was approved, but frankly there’s no cohesion between this building and Michigan Stadium next door, and there should be. The glass UFO has TO GO! Also, anyone walking to the game last Saturday can see how much of an eyesore Crisler has become, and the Athletic Department could spend a little money by at least giving the exterior of the arena a good power wash ASAP. The brick has faded and the silver columns and roof look disgusting. Maybe paint the silver columns and roof blue and color the brick. That would at least make it look reasonable.

I think this is awesome. It will definitely help on the recruiting end and won’t hurt the players who we already have. As for the fab five…i think this is down the road a bit but it will happen

I think Webber is allowed to be near the program again in 2012, or rather, that is when his probation is over. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them recognized at some point after that. But it isn’t likely to happen before then. I don’t know if Webber can even donate money to the program until then.

I was at the UM – Illinois game (2008?) where they honored Jalen Rose for his “contributions to society” through his fund. At the end of the speech the band broke into The Victors but he shushed them, pointed to the rafters, and said something to the effect that there was something missing from up there and he was working to bring them back.

I hope they don’t completely disregard the Fab Five in the new building. It was a huge part of Michigan basketball history and really a huge part of college basketball history. I think it’s time to stop distancing ourselves from it and move on. Those kids have to be represented.

This building looks nice. Another positive step for the Michigan basketball program. This should be another feather in our cap for recruiting.

What if Chris, Jalen, Juwan, Jimmy, and Ray donate $$$ to fund the project as a, we are still here attitude. What do you do then? This would be a perfect way for them to be part of Michigan basketball again and history making? Donating money is probably the only way for them to be recognized again with Michigan Basketball.
