9.2.2023 East Carolina -

Noon kick 7am Tailgate,

Theme: The Lowcountry

Nice and easy noon kick to ease us back into our happy place.  Porch swings and seersucker suits. Gonna be blowing the budget on some nice Anson Mills shit and doing my best Sean Brock impression.  Music from the Deliverance soundtrack.  Keep Larry in front of you.

9.9.2023 UNLV -

3:30 kick, 7am Tailgate

Theme: The Street Food

Progressing.  3.5 more hours of tailgate than the previous week.  Plan accordingly.  Had this all planned out in my head and then I got some drunk texts from our old friend Fry Daddy and Jeff.  They made some requests that will probably be incorporated.  But I’m holding true to a little bit of a Night Market theme - think food trucks, carts, and stalls.  Some Thai stuff, some fried stuff, some Phily stuff, some other stuff.

9.16.2023 Bowling Green -

7:30pm kick, 11am Tailgate

Theme: The American Royal

Full smokehouse barbecue spread throughout the day.  Ribs, brisket, pork, sides.  Then an LED lightshow in the big house that would make Dave Brandon blush.

9.23.2023 Rutgers -

Noon kick, 7am Tailgate,

Theme: The Slumber Party

WEAR PAJAMAS.  WEAR PAJAMAS.  WEAR PAJAMAS.  WEAR PAJAMAS.  WEAR PAJAMAS.  WEAR PAJAMAS.  WEAR PAJAMAS.  WEAR PAJAMAS.  WEAR PAJAMAS. Pancakes and bacon and mimosas and things of that nature.  Let’s lounge around and open the Big Ten schedule with a victory over Rutgers.

9.30.2023 AWAY At Nebraska - TBD

10.7.2023 AWAY At Minnesota - TBD

10.14.2023 Indiana -

Kick TBD, 7am Tailgate

Theme: The Retro

Dust off those neon fanny packs and bust out the scrunchies for a 90’s theme with 90’s food and people longing for something that happened in the 90’s to happen again.  I’d tell you to wear 90’s stuff but as typical Michigan fans, we’ve been wearing it for 25 years.

10.21.2023 - AWAY At Michigan State, 7:30pm Kickoff, Tailgate TBD

10.28.2023 - BYE

11.04.2023 - Purdue -

7:30pm Kickoff, 11am Tailgate

Theme:  The Bacchanal

Oxford dictionary defines it as “an occasion of wild and drunken revelry”.  What we’re doing is an homage to Caesar’s -  all Italian, all day.  Sinatra, Tony Bennett, The Godfather Soundtrack, and someone tell Sister Kristen we can’t drink 10 gallons of negronis like last time.  Also, it’s not going to be cold, quit being a candy ass.

11.11.2023 - At Penn State - Noon Kick, Tailgate TBD

11.18.2023 - Ohio State - Noon Kick, Tailgate 6am

The typical finale. Surf, turf, and Michigan beats Ohio State. On to Indy.
