I was pissed when we scheduled Delaware State.  Of course I know that these things are beyond our control, and that we did our due dilligence to get an FBS opponent, but there’s something slightly embarassing about scheduling a game like this.  It’s diffiult to explain to the not-so-football-savvy co-worker, to outline the complexities of [...]

AnnArbor.com’s finest journalist James Dickson wrote an article featuring UMTailgate.com entitled The Road Warriors.  It can be found here.
Pictures (albeit only 17 of them) from the @ MSU tailgate/game are available here.
The All Time Sagarin ratings for NCAA basketball can be found here…you’ll find Michigan basketball two spots BETTER than MSU.  Why?  I have no [...]

Mr. Robinson’s Michigan Defense 2009
Now that “we” have spoken, and are rallying behind our coach and for our team, it becomes obvious that we must “All be in for Michigan”. As much as we might wish and hope, a new tailgate location and our rally cries will not be enough. As we [...]

…we’ve got a distraction.  A big one.

I hope Tuesday’s post didn’t relax you too much, just as I hope this one doesn’t have you tossing and turning all weekend…
1) Catching Balls That Are Kicked: And no, I’m not referring those that are kicked illegally, a la Nebraska – Missouri 1997.  I’m talking about last year, when the defense had a rare [...]

Who is Gar?  Gar is a husband, a father, a competitor, a lawyer, a tailgate neighbor, and a friend.  He is someone we have both loved and loathed.  Someone who we have gone out of our way to locate at away games, and on some occasions made no effort at all to see even though [...]

1) Piped in Music: What would it take for me to convince you that piped in music is a great idea?  If I said it would help us win just one more game, would you get on board?  I’ve been to every Big Ten venue.  And yes, there was a time when I mocked those [...]

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 [...]

Mustaches for Michigan is gaining some steam in a grass roots effort.  The basic premise?  Grow out your lip hair to show your support for Michigan in a “screw you, I love RichRod” kinda way.  Hey, I’m all for it, just don’t think I can have a respectable one before September 5th.  Cook is all [...]

Editors Note: FINALLY somebody else is writing!  Welcome back Johnny Cleveland…
I am breaking my silence because I am about to break some necks.  I am sick and tired of all this talk of us being much improved and doubling our win total from 2008 to 6 wins in 2009.  Of course I am aware of [...]
