It’s Halloween Eve, known around these parts as Devil’s Night. I say “these parts” because in my neverending journey to learn something new everyday, I found out that Devil’s Night is native to the state of Michigan, and more specifically Detroit. Nice! All this time I thought that people nationwide were destructing [...]

Case of the Mundy’s: Devil’s Night Edition 10/30/06
Is It November 18th Yet? Michigan 17, Northwestern 3
It’s tough sometimes, to be a Michigan fan. So many expectations, a fair amount of disappointment, and rarely a game occurs where you walk out and say “we executed to the best of our ability.” That’s just the way it is. We’ve reached November unblemished, but you’re confidence in the offense is [...]
It’s Homecoming! The Northwestern Preview
We now take you to the cushy part of the Wolverine’s 2006 schedule, with the three-headed monster of Northwestern, Ball State, and Indiana before we head to Columbus. How easy should these games be? Really easy. How vanilla will the offense be for the next three weeks? Super vanilla. We [...]
What Could Be Better?
Michigan is undefeated and the Tigers are in the World Series! Fantastic. While the exterior is bright and often times blinding, we often forget to see the turmoil of the inner workings. There are many stories that wind up next to the dirty pans on the back stove when things are going this well. But [...]
Case of the Mundy’s: Gimmie Them Keys Edition 10/24/06
The story hit locally, and is now getting some national pub, all because some girl couldn’t keep her mouth shut about a scuffle over some car keys. It seems the rumors from last week were true, and Adrian Arrington was arraigned on the Wednesday before the Iowa game for a domestic spat with his [...]
This is IT.
It’s funny how a ten-hour tailgate in Happy Valley makes a 3:30pm kickoff seem like it’s too soon. A drizzling morning sky and chilly temperatures kept us huddled under the tents for much of the day. But just as it was time to head to the stadium, and not long after a mini-football [...]
So I Take the Week Off…
…and Captain Funnypants adorns the front of the world’s greatest tailgating website with a pot leaf. Hmmmm. I guess when the cat’s away the mice will play. But there’s been no Iowa preview, no predictions…no one really stepped up in my absence. That’s unfortunate, but I’ll be back in full force [...]
Great Day for Dope Smokers!
Though it currently effects no members of our party, we must report the news, as you never know what the future holds. You see, you don’t know how far something can go once the ball gets rolling. We must educate ourselves in all aspects of our World because the tailgate, UMTAILGATE that is, is a microcosmof society as [...]
Here My Friends, Is To The Present
When it all seemed to be a waste of time…The Tigers had moved from the hallowed grounds of Michigan and Trumbull for a sponsored, state of the art entertainment venue, Comerica Park. The fans called it The Copa much to the dismay of Tigers Public Relations but it was a new home and a sign [...]
A WEEK OF WAITING
What a weekend for the sports fan, especially our contingent. A birth in the World Series and an important victory at Happy Valley. Well now what do we do with our adrenaline? We have a whole week to wait until Saturday, when it all starts over again with an afternoon matchup with the Hawkeyes and [...]
