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 [...]

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.” [...]

8/8/08 has come and gone…anybody seen Goody?
Here’s what happened on the internets while you ran a Beer-a-thon and stored some more belly button link.
