OT: Michigan home game must do's.

Submitted by BLUEyouout on

I am going to my first Michigan home game this year to watch the boys take on the (edit: replace bucknutz with) douce bags . What must do would the board suggest one accomplish on gameday?

I don't think terms like this are clever or funny; they just seem rude and douchey to me, which I think is a misrepresentation of all the intelligent people we have here.

Just my opinion. I'm not going to downvote him for using it or anything, I'd just much prefer that this not become a common occurance.

Don't sit down when some "too good to stand up" rich person gets mad at you. You bought the ticket. You stand and be as loud as you can the entire game.

You can maybe sit down at halftime, but that should be it. It's a football game - not the ballet.

Create a frenzied atmosphere like the old days!

Lots of Walmart gear.  And they bring a little noise.  

In 2011, The Game felt primal over there.  Our tribe vs theirs.  Ater the game a guy next to me was yelling at a group of red jerseys making their way up the steps: "GET IN YOUR CARS! TAKE 23 SOUTH! TURNS INTO 75.  KEEP GOING F***ING SOUTH UNTIL YOU GET BACK TO OHIO!!!"

Excuse me for not wanting someone who has to buy two airplane seats to be standing in front of me the entire game.  Some true Michigan fans, mostly alumni, don't have the physical ability to stand for 3+ hours.  And don't kid yourself!  Standing up and yelling like a damn ruffian isn't helping the team.  That sort of behavior only serves to make the University look like it endorses a bunch of rowdy hooligans causing havoc in the stands.  You can root on the team while also acting like adults!

Yeah, please be loud and crazy!!!!! Stand up and cheer these boys to victory. Don't go to the game if you're just wanting to spectate...you can do that at home for cheap. We want fans at the game who are there to cheer and be loud and help the Home Crowd atmosphere.

When I was a student, I loved the walk through central campus, down state street and across on Hoover to get to the stadium: Mobs of maize shirts and frequent impromptu chants of go blue as well as heckling of opposing fans. It's a great way to get pumped up for the game.

Plus: BONGO MAN! Is he still there? I hope so. He was the best.

This guy has it right. I'm a student now, but back when I was in high school and I'd go to games with my dad we would park far away from the Big House, near the hospital. That way you could walk through central campus and down state street with the huge crowds. I loved that walk and the overall atmosphere.

An added bonus was that when the game was over you didn't have to wait in ridiculous traffic. You could pretty much jump right on the highway.

This was going to be my reply. There are few things that I miss more about being in AA in the fall than the feeling I would get marching with the unending sea of fans down State and along Hoover in the communal procession to the stadium. The energy and sheer volume of Michigan supporters is something truly special to behold.
