LOL. Helle, I'll do my best! You can stop posting now ;) ....I'll try to talk my husband into it. He was actually very enthused about it (and he's not a Michigan alum) but when he heard the time he immediately said, "Forget it!" Going to get in touch with the local alumni association and see if they have a bus or van going or there are any carpool options.

Just sleep in on Saturday. Drive the two hours. Watch the game. Drive two hours home and recover on Sunday. You should even give yourself a couple hours for tailgating. Don't let these suits stop you from having a great time. I drove to Purdue and back in the same day. I also did Penn St in 28 hours with an eight hour tailgate before the game (slept in the car, I don't recommend trying that). Go to the game and have a great time.

Definitely nice having the night game. We saw how the sluggish atmosphere affected the team. I am expecting much more focus this week and a healthy margin of victory. We are certainly the more talented team, just need to play like it.

Living in CT I do root for UConn EXCEPT when they play Michigan.  I bought UConn season tickets to make sure I am at the game.  Went to the UConn game last night; the are poorly coached and don't have a ton of talent.  It looks like others took the same approach as me since I saw at least 10 others wearing Michigan gear like me.  We were told we are a week early . . .  Given how poorly UConn is playing, I expect a lot of locals to take the $$ from our fans than goto the game.  I have 2 UConn grads on my team at work.  I asked them if they wanted tickets.  They said no, why pay to watch UConn get crushed.  I think we get over 1/3 of the stadium.

Also, the UM Spirit Club of Hartford is also planning a tailgate.  The info should be up on the Alumni Association page.  Hope to see a bunch of Maize and Blue next week!
