They say life comes down to a few key decisions. On December 31, 2006, I was faced with one: fifth or half-gallon. I stood in the aisle of a Los Angeles Von’s, a grocery/liquor store across the street from our hotel, and after arguing for a moment with The Hammer, I caved and [...]

Breaking News: Long Staying for Senior Year
Yes, it’s been a light posting week…my apologies. For those that are not “in the know,” Jake Long has decided not to go to into the NFL draft, despite being projected in the early part of the first round. This move will no doubt put him on par with Jesus for the Michigan [...]
Give Me Flash Dancers or Give Me Nothing At All
I have to be perfectly honest and say I don’t mind a one loss team being ranked ahead of an undefeated team. Did anyone believe in 2000 that the Mariners were the best team in baseball just because they had the best regular season record (ever?!) Will the team with the best regular season record [...]
Case of the Mundys: Refocus Edition
How many people have asked you today how pissed off you are about the BCS championship game? No less than 15 for me. Well, I’m not pissed…I’m just disappointed. To be honest, I don’t have any emotion left…November 18th took it all out of me.
It’s time to refocus whatever anger and pain [...]
Why? Because of This…
* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 17241 *It’s over. But it’s been over. It would have hurt a lot less if there they had never given us a glimmer of hope. But they did, and by “they” I mean the media…the voters…the BCS. We lost to Ohio State on November [...]
A Legend Passes…This One’s For Bo
I won’t bore you with the man’s resume or his countless contributions to the Michigan Football program, because if you are a reader of this blog you already know that Bo is Michigan Football. I had the honor of meeting Bo once, back in the summer of 1998 following Michigan’s National Championship. As [...]
Take Ohio State and 22…The Ohio State Preview
Once again…not my crafty photoshop work. In addition, get some kleenex together and read this blog, which is far and away the most poetic pro-Michigan writing anywhere on the internets.
Sure, it’s just a game played by a group of young men, most of whom can’t order a beer at a bar. But for [...]
Droppin’ The Hammer on OSU
Ladies and gentlemen of UMTailgate.com, may I introduce to you my associate, compadre and friend, Adam Liberman, Public Relations Master of one of the premiere sports franchises in Major League Baseball. He is a graduate of Ohio University and an ardent tOSU fan…which actually makes the conversations that have transpired between us over the last [...]
Way Back When-sday: November 22, 1969
Before I get to the flashback, I must take a minute whenever our little website gets a little national pub. CSTV.com has picked UMTailgate.com to weigh in on The Victors vs. Dot the “i”…Here’s the link.
Also, you should have one of these for Saturday.
As for the flashback, I will simply use the words [...]
Case of the Mundys: The New House Edition 11/13/06
Less than 5 days remain before a small group of UMTailgaters will venture to Hell on Earth. I am caught halfway between “giddy with anticipation” and “scared shitless of what the fans are capable of.” Either way, I am worthless at work and sleepless at home. It’s not because I’m caught [...]
