It’s Thanksgiving week, so I just want to take a second to thank everyone that participated in our transition year of tailgating as we left the golf course for greener (actually more asphault colored) pastures.  You guys really blew my mind this year with the turn out, the donations, and the enthusiasm.  So much so [...]

I watched a mashup of Michigan highlights against Ohio State on YouTube yesterday.  The video quality was really poor.  I thought about how somebody should remix the videos in HD to make it more pleasing to the eye.  Then I realized that the videos were so bad because there hasn’t been a highlight of a [...]

Northwestern tailgate and banquet photos are here.
The bottom.  The ground floor.  This has to be it.
Rumors swirl of transferring players, we endure lost recruit commitments, and the rabid fans need to “get a life.” All of it takes center stage with The Game approaching, and the media is enjoying picking at the carcass of what [...]

We say goodbye to the seniors, and then we say goodbye to eachother.  Saturday’s tailgate theme, perfectly appropriate with the weather forecast, is Soups and Stews.  The patented sausage and cheese chowder will make an appearance.  Tailgating note:  The Grill has been moved to storage, so burner space will be limited.  If you are bringing [...]

Something that year to year we pine for, that we count the seconds to, that we hope never ends, will come to a close in just 10 days.  It’s been the kind of season that has had us all looking for the fast forward button.  Get me to 2009.  Get me to 2010.  Show me [...]

The 89th battle for the Little Brown Jug went to the Wolverines on Saturday, 34-10. Once again, fans were treated to a tale of two halves. A first half of fear and loathing, and a second half of proper adjustments, inspired defense, and taking advantage of the opponent’s weaknesses. If I had [...]

News from Bubba: Battle for the Little Brown Jug will finish in the dark..3:30pm kickoff. Live on ESPN Classic.

It’s tough sometimes, to be a Michigan fan. So many expectations, a fair amount of disappointment, and rarely a game occurs where you walk out and say “we executed to the best of our ability.” That’s just the way it is. We’ve reached November unblemished, but you’re confidence in the offense is [...]

We now take you to the cushy part of the Wolverine’s 2006 schedule, with the three-headed monster of Northwestern, Ball State, and Indiana before we head to Columbus. How easy should these games be? Really easy. How vanilla will the offense be for the next three weeks? Super vanilla. We [...]

It was windy. Really windy. And it was cold. Too cold for mid-October in the middle of Illinois. There were a lot of places we’d have rather been. The tarp walls of the pop-up tent made it tolerable, and the small fire pit of a neighboring tailgate was enough to get the feeling back in [...]
