Welcome to the latest weekly column added to the whirlwind of UMTailgate.com postings, “Way Back When-sday”, where we take a moment to reflect back on a great tailgate, game, moment in Michigan history, or moment in tailgater folly. This week, we take you back to November 2, 2002. The tailgate…epic. The game…full [...]

From Beale to Bourbon to 7th Avenue
It was arduous, but well worth it, as the UMTailgate.com tour took the long way to Tampa. Travelling through Stevensville, Memphis, and New Orleans ended the monotony of the straight shot down Wolverine Bowl Game Parkway (A.K.A. I-75). In Tampa, we (Webmaster and Bloomfield) met up with Stephen, Bubba, [...]

The End
It will be known nationally as another classic chapter in the long and storied history of college football’s greatest rivalry. It will be known to Buckeye fans as one of their finest moments and one of their greatest triumphs. For Michigan fans, it was another dissappointing performance in a big game by John Navarre, [...]

The End of the Home Campaign
The chilly air couldn’t kill the festive mood as the UMTailgate.com family met at home for the final time this season. This year’s home tailgates were easily the best in UMTailgate.com’s short history, breaking attendance, alcohol, and food preparation records. Thanks to everyone that attended and participated throughout the year.

Rolling Along
There was no tailgate this week. That’s right, no tailgate. Minnesota has a detached campus. Detached meaning that the stadium is not within the confines of the campus. This makes the college atmosphere surrounding the Metrodome less than festive. So after late night dinner at Murray’s steakhouse the previous evening, the bulk of the [...]

It’s Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine
And it’s even better not to be a Spartan. Just when the Spartans had seemed to hit rock bottom, the Wolverines dug the hole a little deeper and stuffed them in it. Not since 1947 had the Spartans endured such a beating. The Maize and Blue racked up seven [...]

The Weekly Report by Tuggy
“Give him his due”, a quote associated with the Dallas Cowboys in the past is now relevant again. I know that since my audience is highly concentrated with Lion and Bear fans that my initial ethos is quite low, but we should not downplay the tremendous accomplishments of Emmitt Smith III. [...]

Blue Out After A Blow Out
With all that has occurred this season, one thing has stuck in my mind. As some of you may know, I sit in section 30 for almost every home game. Each year, a new crop of Freshmen Michigan students get their student season tickets, and are assigned to section 30. [...]

What Makes Me Tailgate?
I love tailgating. I love Michigan Football. I love the feeling you get at the beginning of the season, hoping for perfection, having a clean slate, and knowing destiny is in control of the players on the field. I love seeing family members, both blood and tailgate inherited, in the unique setting [...]

This weekend the troops had a successful weekend in West Layfayette. UMTailgate was well represented with a group of around 10. Once again the rough and tumble Big Ten Football Conference proved that there are no cupcake games. The Wolverines had to scratch and claw their way out of Ross-Aide Stadium with a narrow victory.
