Student Leaders Petition Athletic Department to ‘Expand the Maize Rage’

Among a conference full of intimidating atmospheres for visiting basketball teams, players and students agree that Michigan’s Crisler Center is sorely lacking. In an online petition scheduled to be published later today, several student leaders have a proposed fix: “Expand the Maize Rage.” 

Currently, Michigan students are only allocated a limited amount of seats in the lower bowl of Crisler Center. A vast majority of the student section (dubbed the “Maize Rage”) is located in the upper bowl of the arena, isolated and far from the action. Subsequently, the Michigan men’s basketball team is unable to fully harness the energy of the students during crucial moments of games. The upcoming petition created by leaders of the Maize Rage urges the Michigan Athletic Department to expand the number of seats allocated to the student section within the lower bowl. 

A draft of the petition obtained by WCBN Sports raises two demands for administrators in the Athletic Department. First, it writes that “the Maize Rage needs to be expanded to allow more students into the lower bowl,” although it does not mention specific areas where the student section should expand to or how many students should be added to the lower bowl. Second, the petition asks that student leaders of Maize Rage “get a seat at the table when it comes to making this decision.” The petition claims that these requests, along with a modified student ticketing strategy, will “​​make the Crisler Center one of the toughest environments to play in the whole country.”

Everyone Cares About the Draft Except for the LA Rams: 2022 NFL Mock Draft

You can read the first post here.

The Los Angeles Rams do not need to read this article. They have not had a first round selection since picking Jared Goff 1st Overall in 2016. General Manager Les Snead has made a living off of trading his top picks for top playmakers, and they’ve finally won it all. Who knows if these other GMs have the ability to do that. This is the second mock draft of the offseason, and two more will be written before the Jaguars are actually on the clock. The top-five is still in flux and we should be in for a bunch of surprises. Let’s see who the Jags pick in the second WCBN 2022 NFL Mock Draft.
​


#1 - Jacksonville Jaguars - OT Evan Neal, Alabama
Previous Pick: EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oregon
Through the pre-draft processes so far, the rumor is that the consensus of NFL front offices have soured on Kayvon Thibodeaux’s floor as an everyday player. Alabama’s Evan Neal has frequently been mocked as the first pick since Doug Pederson was hired as Jacksonville’s head coach on February 3rd. Neal will become Trevor Lawrence’s personal bodyguard at left tackle. His massive frame will also allow Travis Etienne to successfully return to form in the outside running game following his season-ending injury last season. Doug Pederson returns to the NFL with a franchise QB and blindside blocker.


#2 - Detroit Lions - EDGE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan
Previous Pick: EDGE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan
    Brad Holmes is a West Coast guy and has picked up a couple great West Coast players, Aidan Hutchinson is still the pick. It seems Hutchinson’s motor and work ethic has leapfrogged Thibodeaux on many boards. Only time will tell if the two players’ intangibles will have a greater impact on their actual play on the field, but Hutchinson’s fit on the Lions remains unquestioned. The Michigan kid’s versatility inside and outside can be instantly plugged into the Lions defensive front that has lacked superstar talent since Jim Caldwell was head coach.
