October 8, 1994 - The first joint appearance of Bubba and Kristen at the Godfather’s Tailgate. Michigan would go on to beat MSU 40-20. 7 months later these two would tie the knot, which is 25 years ago today. Happy Anniversary!
September 3, 1994: Look at these beautiful young folks. John Dogan clearly running the show. Godfather and Pammy tending to family. Captain Michigan with an uncomfortable mustache and a drink in hand. And young love blossoming with those Kelke kids. These were the days. Wheatley had a separated shoulder, but straight ahead Ed Davis and Tim Biakabutuka combined for 178 yards to assist quarterback Todd Collins in defeating upstart Big East foe Boston College 34-26.
This and the rest of the pictures from 26(!) years ago are here on the game page.
September 12, 1992: Some stumbling drunk college kids bumped into an old man and his friends in South Bend before Michigan played Notre Dame to a 17-17 tie. They agreed to meet up before the next home game. A few years later, the guy in yellow married my sister. The rest, as they say, is history.
September 9, 2000. I can’t tell if they’re having a heart to heart of if they’re about to fight, but a crowd has gathered to witness whatever this is before Michigan pasted the Rice Owls 38-7. Game page is here. Speaking of owls, tomorrow marks the 1-year anniversary of an owl hanging out in my kitchen when I woke up…on Halloween.
