The Game, 2017

Will it?

Be a game that is. I hope so. You hope so, we all (yes, even Ohio State) hopes it’s a game. The fact is, Michigan vs. Ohio State has brought us some awesome good football in years past. Just seems that 2 of the last epic games, 2006 and 2016 were both at the Horseshoe and both were Buckeye victories. I don’t like Buckeye victories.

Iowa put up 55 points on these Buckeyes a few weeks ago. Michigan has only scored 56 points this year combined vs. ranked teams (and that is 33 vs. Florida if you consider them ranked). So it is our time to win. Because we’ve seen the alternative, and it isn’t too much fun. But I know what is a ton of fun!!!

The annual last tailgate Chili Cook-off!

That’s right, the theme you’ve come to love and buy extra TP for (speaking of which, remember back when the students would liter the endzone with TP after UM touchdowns – those were the days). Get out your best recipe for venison chili, chicken chili, turkey chili, tofu chili you name it we want to try it! And try it all we do!

As has been the case all year – PLEASE sign up early on our Tailgate Sign Up Sheet for our pot-luck style tailgate.

Hey, it was 55 degrees today in Cedar Falls, IA – maybe, just maybe that is some good vibes form our Hawkeye family?

 

Homecoming minus Ken

Homecoming is upon us, so it is only fitting that many of our regular “set up crew” and hosts will be missing. So if you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to be a member of the set-up, all-day tailgate crew – this is your chance!

With the short staff we’re using our sign-up sheet here, to get a good head count of who is coming. Mid-way through the week we’ll figure out final plans for the food.

17 new starters, plus both kickers. Let’s make sure we’re giving 100% of our fandom to the boys. Remember, it can be worse.

Beat Rutgers!
