Some call Michigan vs. Michigan State a rivalry game. Geography plays a part in that. Just 60 miles separate the two campuses, but I remind you that just a few feet of stone separated East and West Berlin. And that’s how different these two institutions are.
To the Northwest, smothered in Green and [...]

It’s an amazing thing, this college football. An entire sport, an entire system, predicated on the way you finish, not the way you start. And so goes 2007. Michigan #12 BCS, USC #19 BCS. Who would’ve thought that after App State and Oregon that Michigan was on the road to the [...]

The 89th battle for the Little Brown Jug went to the Wolverines on Saturday, 34-10. Once again, fans were treated to a tale of two halves. A first half of fear and loathing, and a second half of proper adjustments, inspired defense, and taking advantage of the opponent’s weaknesses. If I had [...]

I’ve never been shy in voicing my displeasure with the gameday experience at some of the hallowed Big Ten venues across the midwest. Ross-Ade stadium in West Lafayette has been the butt of many a joke over the years, and truly is a horrible place to travel to from an away fan’s perspective. [...]

Tyrone Wheatley is undoubtedly one of the best running backs to wear a Michigan uniform. His performance in the ’93 Rose Bowl, substituting for Ricky Powers still stands out in my mind. In fact it is one of the few Michigan football moments I remember prior to my arrival at the school for my freshman [...]

 
As you should know by now, our Danser has reached a milestone, Umtailgate.com continues to reflect upon this accomplishment (?) .   Basic Facts:  The “Streak” began in 1999.  The first game was a home contest against Illinois, UM lost 35 to 29.  The streaker has traveled the country from corner to corner (washington to florida if [...]

If you are lucky enough to have made the trip to Champaign, Illinois in a past season, you know that you can smell the excitement there. Seriously, you can smell it. There’s some kind of manure farm nearby, and you will spend the day wondering if the smell is there all the time, [...]
