M Go Tailgate

I’ve never liked “Bye Weeks” but at least we can all sleep in this Saturday, and next too as Michigan’s game vs. Michigan State has officially been announced as a night game, 7:30 PM on ABC. Years ago Rich and I played hockey with the then Chief of Police in Ann Arbor. He basically said…

The Air Force Academy is coming to town Saturday (12 Noon, BTN) for the final non-conference game before Big Ten Football starts in earnest. So let’s get ready for the 2nd straight 12 noon kick-off with: BBQ! Like our beloved Italian Beef tailgates, the hosts will be pre-ordering the “good stuff” from a local Ann…

And so it begins.  It is finally here, game week! We have been busy cleaning off the dust and cleaning the tailgating equipment and are ready for the Michigan Football season home opener! Now all we need is you! As has been tradition, our season kick-off tailgate will be burger, brats and dogs. We continue…

And then there was one. Football season always seems to take forever to get here and then in a few short weeks it’s over. There is hope however. There is hope that Michigan may play 3 more games after The Game. But first, Indiana. Thank you to all that made the trip to Iowa! MGoTailgate was…

It wasn’t pretty but there won’t be an asterisk next to last weekend’s win in East Lansing. The only late game special team failure this year was the muffed shovel pass on MSU’s two-point attempt, which Jabrill Peppers (who suffers from lots of knee and elbow sweat based on the sweatbands he wears just south…

With Illinois visiting the Big House this weekend, the excitement in Ann Arbor will be due to it being HOMECOMING 2016 and the ITALIAN BEEF at our MGoTailgate! After a bye week last weekend (we scored enough points against Rutgers to earn a weekend off…), MGoTailgate is ready to impress with the annual Italian Beef…

Well that was a fun start to the Big 10 Season! This week we welcome the Badgers from Wisconsin to the Big House for another 3:30 kickoff. If Wisconsin is here then guess we have to serve brats (as in bratwursts, not Sam’s kids), right?  So join us for a traditional tailgate with beer boiled…

And so the 2016 Big10 Season begins. This week we welcome the Penn State Nittany Lions to the Big House for another 3:30 kickoff. To kick it off, the MGoTailgate theme this week is BBQ. There is no connection between PSU and BBQ food, we just thought it would be a great idea for this…

One of Keith Jackson’s best calls for a football game was in Ann Arbor back in 1994. I’m not sure any of the Michigan fans were happy with the outcome. 1997’s 27-3 Michigan victory was a stepping stone to a very nice season that year. Lets hope this year’s game is more the later than…
