It is here: The Game.

Ohio State comes to town winners of 23 of 24 games (or losers of their last game). The last time Ohio State lost 2 straight was in the 2013 season, when they lost to Michigan State (Big Ten Championship Game) and Clemson (Orange Bowl).  They then beat Navy and lost to Virginia Tech to start the 2014 season. 1-3 in a four game stretch seems unheard of for the Buckeyes as of late, but it really was not too long ago. Hopefully Saturday (12 noon Eastern at The Big House) Michigan continues the current losing streak for Ohio State.

As per tradition, the final tailgate of the season is our Chili Cook-Off. We’ll shovel out the snow, pop up the tents and get the heaters, grills and TVs ready to rock (after all, we may be very interested in that Penn State @ Michigan State game at 3:30 PM). Don’t let the Turkey slow you down as we do need you to sign up by Thursday night for our Tailgate Potluck. Click HERE for the link to our sign-up sheet.

Have a safe Thanksgiving and we’ll see you Saturday for The Game!

Go Blue!

Oh boy, does Michigan Football seem fun again!!! Three straight shutouts, and 2 over ranked opponents to boot. 1995 was the last time this happened at the FBS level and Michigan last did this in 1980. Dig even further to find that only 4 other times in NCAA D-1 History has a team shutout 2 AP-ranked opponents by 28-0 or more scores. And in thee of those four previous seasons, the victorious team won the National Championship, including the 1948 Wolverines.

As much as I love this defense and the level at which they are playing it is hard for me to see MSU becoming the 3rd AP-ranked shutout victim. But that would be AWESOME!

But I digress, this space is meant to talk about our TAILGATE and the menu that is on tap for our Little Brother’s visit this weekend!

The football game will begin at 3:30 PM, our tailgate will “open” for breakfast around 8:30 AM (please make sure to indicate on sign up sheet if you are coming this early). This week the theme is “Show and Tell.” After our outstanding annual Italian Beef sandwich tailgate last week we heard a lot of talk about your favorite sandwich fixings. You’ve told us, so now SHOW US your best sandwich.  Bring out your best pulled pork, sloppy joes, bbq chicken, tuna salad, spam or whatever sandwich fillings you can think up that would make Homer Simpson or Al Bundy jealous!  There may even be another visit from the Italian Beef.  We’ll fire back up the grill post game as well for burgers and hot dogs.

We are expecting a large turnout of this game and tailgate. So PLEASE make sure to sign up early for your entry into the Sandwich Fixings Show & Tell Tailgate.  Please CLICK HERE for access to our sign up sheet.

See you Saturday, GO BLUE!
