So after a hard fought victory over WMU we welcome Big Charlie and his Fish Eaters to the BH.  Now I understand that some of my naysayers don’t like the comparisons and excuses for losses or “near wins” but my goal is not to refute that 2008 was a terrible year, just to point out [...]

It’s been a long autumn.  If you missed the trip to Minnesota (which based on the crowd there, you did) then  your last viewed sliver of positivity as a Michigan fan came on September 27th.  That’s a long time ago.  And this just in…you’ve got the longest wait EVER for a chance to peek at [...]

A new tradition begins this year with a weekly “Victors Walk” prior to each home game.   The team will be delivered via bus from their Friday night hotel a few hours before game time.     The players and coaches will be led from their busses to the locker room by the Michigan Marching Band and anticipate [...]

The largest grill ever to adorn the tailgate has been assembled.  If I can drag it behind my car, I’ll have no problem getting it to the corner of Stadium and Main.  I can’t even figure out how to properly dispose of the packaging.  Can’t wait for Johnny Cleveland and The Hammer to life it [...]

Bacon.  Just the word sets off the pleasure portion of your brain.  Smoke-filled, crispy, fatty, meaty deliciousness.  It is the face of breakfast, and on brisk pre-game morning that finds you cracking a beer or swilling a bloody mary, nothing is better.  When you look upon a neighboring tailgate and you see that aromatic steam [...]

We have seen articles on this, and many other web sites/blogs, about college football teams around the nation preparing for the upcoming season.  I am positive the players and coaches are giving their all to assure they are prepared for the season opening kickoff that is rapidly approaching.  What I am not as sure of is that [...]

I’m sure it’s not hard for most of you to see how people here at my office know I graduated from Michigan. And of course when I over hear them say something like “oh, ask Rob, he’s a Michigan fan.” I quickly snap and remind them “I’m not a fan! I paid for this shit.” [...]
