Lost in the shuffle, or the recent fall from grace of Michigan football, or the frustration of hockey or basketball…is that we finished our 10th season of tailgating under the moniker of UMTailgate.com last November.
I remember when 10 years seemed like a long time. Not so much anymore.  And yet, I really don’t remember [...]

Pictures are now available from the tailgate weekend in Madison.  Click here.

Hard to believe, but Michigan played Michigan State in hockey, outside at Spartan Stadium, over seven years ago.  They billed it as the Cold War, and it drew 74,554 fans, eclipsing a record (55,000) held previously by an area that played a part in the real Cold War…Moscow.  It was an amazing event (minus the [...]

How many times is too many when it comes to watching M v. UW 2008?  I think the line should be drawn at once per day, though I have watched the game in its entirety and chased it with a replay of the second half, but don’t tell anybody.  It’s been fun.  But the truth [...]

Pictures from the German Themed tailgate are available here.
I thought I was done being surprised by Michigan Football.  It’s almost an impossibility when you are constantly expecting the unexpected.  I’m arrogant enough (being a typical Michigan fan) to think that I have seen it all.  In short, I lived through the Navarre years.  However, on [...]

The second season starts on Saturday as the Badgers make their way into town to open the Big Ten slate.  The Wolverines are touchdown dogs at home for the first time since, well, ever…I think.  Join us as we welcome the Badgers with German cuisine and boots of beer, Essen Haus style, and attempt to [...]

Wisconsin is a 3:30 kickoff.  That’s a lot of sauerkraut.

Wisconsin 51, Michigan 34. At the half? No. End of game. End of season.

34
34…cue wikipedia…
34 is the ninth distinct biprime and has four divisors including unity and itself. Its neighbors, 33 and 35 also are distinct biprimes having four divisors each, and 34 is the smallest number to be surrounded by [...]

We did it folks, and we did it together. My cubical row had their headphones in and gametrackers loaded on screen…what about yours? Aside from a ten minute scoring drought for both teams (In case you are wondering, ten minutes is a full quarter of an NCAA basketball game) that seemed like 3 [...]

They get us every time. No, not on the football field, where the Badgers 37-21 victory managed to increase their win-loss record to just 12-48 all time against us (and just their 5-21 at home). It’s in the war on the streets. It’s in the bars, the pubs, and the restaurants that [...]
