Indiana Tickets Free to Ill-Behaved (update: any) Reader

Submitted by Seth on

UPDATE: So many readers gave us tickets. I still have six more after emailing winners from this thread. If you still wanna come, email me. I'll be going in via the Crisler steps at about 2:30]

The same reader who gave us a pair of freebies last month offered them to us again.

With all the older alumni there for Homecoming I'd like them to go to somebody who'll make up for the relative quiet elsewhere. SOMEBODY has to yell "H!" or else we're just spelling 

"M! I! C. ... i. g? a. n."

If you'd like a free pair of okay-ish, corner-ish tickets for this Saturday, tell us the craziest thing you ever did in Ann Arbor. Or if that could still get you in trouble, the second craziest thing you ever did in Ann Arbor.

Readers: vote with your Pos and Neg buttons.

(If you'd like to respond but don't need tickets, write "NO ENTRY" at the top of your reply).

Also:

  • Make sure you can print the tix or meet up w/ me before I go into the game
  • I'll pick the winner Friday afternoon at 3:00pm EST
  • I'll email the winner and you'll have an hour to respond or I move on to 2nd place
  • Please check with all spouses, travel schedules, etc. before entering.

I did "Big Kathy".   

But that's just the 10th craziest thing I did in Ann Arbor.

I can't go though... so, I guess you have to give the tickets to 2nd place

My craziest exploit may have been during my tender years at Thurston Elementary, but I really didn't come here to embarrass myself further than my previous comments here already have.

I just wanted to say that my first response to the OP title was "This sounds like DB's strangest ticket give-away yet."

Got in a fight on a public email listserv as a freshman who had been on campus all of 3 days

...with a fifth year senior

...not realizing the half the campus was on this listserv and was reading all of it

I've learned to stop clicking 'reply-all' since

Who didn't smoke weed and drink beer?

 

I want to hear about mushrooms, acid, cocaine, heroin... good shit, good stories.

my wildest night on campus was on mescaline.  Played at pinpal petes, went to fleatwood in the morning, destroyed a valuable friendship... just another weekend in south quad

In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... when my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out... but the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

Stayed up late the night before drinking and slept very little. Had a buddy that was in law school in Ohio come up with several of his OSU friends. Had a cocktail or two on the golf course before the game, lost track of time and realized I needed to head to the stadium. 

Get to the area where people usually cross the street and heard someone behind me say, 'don't cross.' I didn't think much of it as I wanted to get to the game. So I decided to cross.

While crossing Stadium I decided it would be a good idea to stike a Heisman pose in the middle of the damn street with cars driving by and all. Not more than 2 seconds later I get tackled. Not by a OSU defender, but by on of Ann Arbor's finest. He completely took me down. 

The officer then asked me, "Do you want to go to jail today?" In my half-terrified drunken state where I had just been knocked down in the middle of the street my response was simply, "No officer, I want to see Michigan beat Ohio State." He let me go. 

I did not see Michigan beat Ohio State that day but I learned that you do not cross Stadium when someone tells you not to cross. That someone could very well be a police officer.

My craziest exploit was handling a drunk after finally having enough of him and his wife.  He came to every game totally wasted but fired up enough to question every call and constantly scream at the players. His wife wore a t-shirt that read "We need a new Carr - one with Les Miles".  This guy always came late - well after kickoff, then stood on his seat most of the first half, would miss the second half kickoff and then fall asleep by the fourth quarter.

During one of his standing rants, I "accidently" dumped my Absopure on his seat.  When he sat down and felt his pants become soaked, he accused his wife of spilling her water (which she didn't have anyway) and got into a huge argument that resulted in both leaving before the half.  I only saw the guy come to one other game and he was alone.

But in the summer of 2007 me and some friends got drunk and snuck (read: broke) into the Big House, went on the field, stripped down completely naked, and ran our own naked mile in the rain. Afterwards we just chilled on the field then walked home, some of us without shirts...or pants.

I ate food at Skeeps. Once. Right before graduation to say that I did it. I do not recommend it.

 

Also, on a separate evening, I threw up on South U leaving Charlie's. However I was able to do it in both public trash cans, right outside the door an dat South U and East U.

Have you ever had Mr. Spots wings? Those were always my favorite. Their hot wings are great and you could get 50 cent wings on Thursdays. Skeeps on Fridays had all you can eat wings with the purchase of 2 beers, and I always liked their wings. But my days there are over. Last time I was there I sat at the bar and had two cockroaches crawling around, bugs galore in the coolers, and a friend of mine bartends there now and she has told me really disgusting stories about how dirty that place is. I've been grossed out ever since.

Not the craziest thing, but one night a group of us went to Nectos and afterwards we took metal posts from a construction site and started waving them around like lightsabers.  It was fun for a few blocks until AAPD showed up and told us to drop them.  Cops were cool about it and didn't give us a hard time.  

I'll have to leave some of the porn related stuff for a game I can actually attend (UTL IV).

My then girlfriend (now wife) and I both had roommates sophomore year, and often couldn't find a place to get it on in peace. So, our go-to place was late at night in unlocked classrooms in Mason Hall. We'd bring a blanket in a backpack so we weren't butt naked on cold tile floor. Must've done this dozens of times. It was hard to keep a straight face in class the next day, knowing what we'd done right over there (we'd use a classroom I actually had a class in).  We also got it on once in a basement alcove off of a hallway in West Quad, so we weren't even behind a closed door. That one was super-risky. Luckily she's not an mgoblog reader or she'd kill me for spilling these details.

EDIT: To clarify, this is an entry for the contest. Wife & I will be in Michigan this weekend and would love to go to a game. I'll just have to omit why specifically we got free tickets if by chance I win.

I once had relations on the 15th green at The Polo Fields Golf and Country Club, and by once I mean multple times over the course of 2 evenings.  Also, on the bus ride home.

Went to Crisler for a game in the winter of '05. We showed up early, and strolled right up to Michigan Stadium. My wife (GF at the time) and I jumped down into the tunnel so we could get on the field. I got down no problems. However, she managed to land on a patch of ice which put her right on her back and split her head open (needed 4 stitches). 

After making sure she was ok, she still took a picture of me in the south endzone throwing up the pose. 

Nothing super crazy, just a good memory!

Doesn't really count since I wasn't there, but a friend of mine did one of the crazier things I've heard of one night we were all out.  Here's a quick recap:

It was a cool Fall evening after a nice win over Michigan State in East Lansing ....... (intended pause to soak in the nostalgia and remember what those days felt like) ....... My roommates and I had gone over to a friend's house and were drinking all afternoon with another friend who had driven over with a buddy he had visiting from high school.  

We got up to leave after the game and when we started walking home, the other kid realized his car was gone.  He had put it at a meter, didn't remember or care enough to go back out and put money in. Apparently he did that pretty often because he had a large number of unpaid parking tickets that resulted in him getting towed.  He was pissed, we laughed at him, and then went our separate ways.  

Fast-forward to 3:30am when one of our phones starts ringing.  My roomate answers, says "WTF?  Huh?  Where?  Ok", hangs up, and then tells us we have to go to the police station.  After a long evening at the bar bitching about the towing, my friend decided the best idea was to go to the tow lot, climb the fence through the barbed wire, and take his car back.  

He always claimed they cut the lock, got the gate open, and drove away, eventually having a cop pull them over because the tow company called it in, thus arresting him for stealing his own car.  I don't buy that part though because he would've been hit with DUI for sure and been in a lot more trouble, but last I talked to him years ago he stuck to it.  I personally believe he got arrested while in the tow lot trying to figure out how to get his car out, but that isn't quite as good of a story.

Can't go to games very often anymore due to my one year old, but I thought I'd share anyways.  This story is about me, but I have very little recollection of it.  As such it is presented to you as it has been presented to me:

One time during my college years when I was under the legal drinking age, my friends and I decided we wanted a midnight snack after a night of drinking.  So we went to Bells Pizza.  I apparently had more then my fair share or spirits that not and was quite giddy.  Halfway through the meal, I stood up, shouted something incoherent and bolted out of the restaurant.  One of my friends say he tried to run after me, but by the time he was out the door, I was nowhere in sight and lost to the Ann Arbor night.  

I returned 15 minutes later with a freshly opened box of wine that I was drinking from the tap.  As I was under 21 with no fake, it is not clear how I procured said box of wine.  I can only imagine I had gone to good ol' shady Sake Bombers and (hopefully) paid for it there.  But I honestly don't know, nor do I know what I did with the rest of my 15 minutes I was gone.

The icing on the cake is that the next morning, my mom woke me up to ask me why an empty box of wine was out on the lawn.  He question was answered without a word from me.  I was partially under my bed, with my iPod shuffle and headphones on (Missy Elliot's "Lose Control" was on continuous shuffle, and to this day I inexplicably know all the words to the song), and I was use the bag portion of the boxed wine as a pillow.  God bless immature college kid hijinks.

Honorable mention - One drunken night, me and my stupid drunken friends peed on the outside wall of the public library, all while shouting "We're Red Berenson!"

we were walking around kind of lost - and we stumble acorss a high school kid alone in the arb.

I guess he lived in the area and he had some weed so we smoked with him.

Anyway he asks us if we, the rich college kids, could maybe kick him some bucks for the weed.  OF course we didn't bring out wallets and I doubt he took the MCARD so we were at a loss.

Suddenly my buddy got the idea that the best way to remedy the situation would be to kill the kid  and dump his body somewhere in the arb

Well the kids just panics.  He doesn't run thank goodness, but just pisses himself right there.

So for the next 5 minutes I had to alternate between talking my buddy out of murder and assuring the kids he would live to see tomorrow and that he could clean his pants without his mom finding out he pissed himself.

We finally agree that the best way forward is to go our seperate ways.  we wander back deeper into the arb and I assume he sprinted to his laundry rooom.

Anytime my buddy and I get into an argument I always wonder if he is going to suggest murder again.

senior year of high school, we trip and head out to the arb. it's a beatiful summer evening and we head deeper and deeper into the arb when all of a sudden we come up to this amazing display of fairies and and shit. turns out it was a set for A midnight summer's dream in the woods play, but we felt like it was magic at the time.

good times
