Roll Call for Saturday + Early Weather Outlook
Mates,
Cutting to the chase, lets see who is headed to AA for the game on Saturday. And while we're at it, what type of pre-game plan, ritual, tailgate do you have in store.
Out ahead of our esteemed weather lady, looks like it'll be dry and mid-30's. Some rain/snow tomorrow and Friday and maybe on Sunday, but not for the game.
Tonight's questions:
1. Are you going to the game?
2. Regardless of whether you are going, what is the plan for game day and watching?
Happy Thanksgiving,
XM

We will be tailgating starting Friday Night (park and Party) on State Street.....
November 24th, 2021 at 6:07 PM ^
Is it at the Napa Auto parts place? We were there for the Indiana game. The lot was great and we had it to ourselves that whole weekend.
November 24th, 2021 at 6:08 PM ^
Yes! that is where we will be, "SWANSRV"
November 24th, 2021 at 6:12 PM ^
Have a great time! Bring us back a win. We were kicking field goals with the boys into the back of the building. Probably not a great thing to do but we only hit it maybe 3 times. Moody would have been disappointed.
Go Blue!
November 24th, 2021 at 6:06 PM ^
I am doing everything different than what I have done the last 10 years. But I am not superstitious at all. Go Blue!
November 24th, 2021 at 9:59 PM ^
Just a little stitious?
November 24th, 2021 at 10:41 PM ^
We usually get our Christmas tree the Monday after thanksgiving and we always lose The Game. This year, we get the tree the day after Thanksgiving. It’s gunna work
November 24th, 2021 at 6:07 PM ^
Used to go to every game when it wasn't during Thanksgiving, now I watch with the family and get nice big sandwiches
November 24th, 2021 at 6:08 PM ^
suggested new user name: we'll be eating
November 24th, 2021 at 6:09 PM ^
I enjoy these threads.
For the first time in 20 years I’m not going to The Game in a year it’s in AA.
I live in Columbus and we are having family in for thanksgiving at our house this year. I’ll have my flags flying and a fire in our backyard fire pit by 7am with a beer in my hand and WTKA, with a hefty mixed of loud music (which leans towards 80s rock the more beer I have) going on. Lots of food and a house split on osu vs UM. Wife, daughter, and myself are all rooting for the good guys ;)
November 24th, 2021 at 6:10 PM ^
Wife and I are going to the game. Parking at Webers Inn and having breakfast then taking the first shuttle over to have a look at college gameday.
Where’s everyone sitting?
We are section 20 row 68.
November 25th, 2021 at 1:53 AM ^
Forget where everyone is sitting, MGo users should all meet at the 20 yard line when we charge the field to celebrate.
I had previously decided to watch the game alone in the basement this year, but it’s going to be too good for that. My confidence in this team is off the charts and I’m going to see if my brother wants to pickup a pair of tickets and go into the stadium this year.
November 25th, 2021 at 6:59 AM ^
Deal.
We meet at the 20 yard line in front of the student section. You’ll have to give my wife and I a few minutes to get there because we are pushing 50 years old.
November 24th, 2021 at 6:13 PM ^
Yup, we’ll be there. We’ll meet up with friends to tailgate prior. Go Blue!
November 24th, 2021 at 6:16 PM ^
I will be there in my (maize) yellow winter parka. Will be hoarse on Sunday from all the yelling. So hoping for a win!
November 24th, 2021 at 6:21 PM ^
Will be there for sure
tailgate in Crisler then watch the band arrive and head in.
will be a great game and a great day for Michigan
November 24th, 2021 at 6:24 PM ^
Have a great time. Jealous. Although I hope the weather is even worse than predicted. Get colder and snow!!!! It can only help the team with the better running game!!! Which I believe is Michigan. Haskins will be the key.
November 24th, 2021 at 6:31 PM ^
And Corum. I don’t know for sure but I’d be shocked if Blake didn’t play.
November 24th, 2021 at 9:57 PM ^
For those of us not going, there's a camera that follows the band into the stadium. It's on the band's Facebook page (and maybe other social media?) so you can watch them live.
November 24th, 2021 at 6:24 PM ^
GUESS WHOS BACK
BACK AGAIN
XMs BACK
TELL A FRIEND
November 24th, 2021 at 9:02 PM ^
Unfortunately
November 24th, 2021 at 9:26 PM ^
hi saggie,
just wanted to make sure you didn't miss any of my posts so you could continue to neg them.
incidentally, you keep posting about other posters and asking them about how miserable their lives must be as you scorn them. have you ever considered your own life when you chase my posts around to neg them, no matter how benign they might be? hope you get over it.
happy thanksgiving.
xm
November 24th, 2021 at 11:41 PM ^
Lol
Btw, still going with the XM tag even though it’s false?
November 25th, 2021 at 6:25 AM ^
good morning saggy. you do know that both seth and robf have met my family or nearly all of it, as have a fairly significant number of other posters and lurkers years and decades before any manufactured issues, right? if i had ever said anything that was 'false' about which you complain, don't you think at least one of those many folks would've said something?
regardless, happy thanksgiving. a grateful heart is a happy heart and i'm guessing your user name closely describes your heart, which is a shame. maybe you should try to be grateful and stop giving rein to the hate and nastiness that seems to have a pretty good grip on you.
will you be at the game?
November 25th, 2021 at 10:12 AM ^
I will be at the game with my wife and daughter. I just remember how in your previous posts you represented something you are not. You also spread a lot of COVID misinformation or at the very least tried to minimize it. You like to make snide little comments that give off a I’m better than you type vibe. See your above response to my simple statement of unfortunately. I personally just don’t appreciate your posts. That’s all. I don’t wish anyone any ill will. My username is just that a username, nothing more nothing less. It has very little to do with me other than we’re I am originally from. But you took it upon yourself to make assumptions about me. Which is ironic coming from you.
November 25th, 2021 at 10:46 AM ^
If you don't appreciate someone's post, simply ignore and move on. Going out of your way to post "unfortunately" brings about additional attention, and conversation... which may be beneficial or critical to you. Either way, you opened that door.
Whether or not I agree with all of XM's posts is irrelevant, he brings a level headed approach and typically good content to the board. Your Covid opinions and how they're not relevant to this post, as well as your misunderstanding of the XM handle are on you.. not him.
November 25th, 2021 at 11:54 AM ^
a snide little comment, to use your words, is where you post 'unfortunately'. my comments to you were substantive. think about your behavior here for a minute. you are so petty that for posts you don't remember that were a year or more old you still hold some type of mythical grudge so dearly that you chase that poster around to neg them....a year or more after the fact. get a hold of yourself. and please don't take my responses as 'better than you' just because i don't call you foul names which i know is popular for internet warriors. i haven't made any assumptions about you that aren't painfully apparent. get over it.
i tell you what, and i'm serious, i hope you, your wife and your daughter have a great time on saturday. i hope you all and the rest of us are, despite odds we all know are against us, joyful beyond measure at game's end. if nothing else, celebrate a 10-1 team that is a very good football team for our favorite school and the fact that you have the means and ability to attend a very big game.
November 25th, 2021 at 8:14 AM ^
Do you not get the reference to his adopted children?
November 24th, 2021 at 6:24 PM ^
Going with my mom
Jack and coke for me, wine for my mom before the game. Don't know about food. In the stadium hot chocolate and kettle corn. After the game, whatever my mom wants to do.
November 24th, 2021 at 6:44 PM ^
Is mom gonna cram down a banana at the entry gate? LOL
November 24th, 2021 at 7:47 PM ^
She made a hat to wear inside the stadium. It's the Mother of Invention
November 25th, 2021 at 10:01 AM ^
Must be a "cramming a banana" joke I'm not aware of, but +1 for your response.
November 24th, 2021 at 7:58 PM ^
Get off of mother’s because I just got off of yours!?
November 24th, 2021 at 6:27 PM ^
Tailgating at AAGO with a great group of college friends who are circa ‘92 grads. Michigan was Big Ten champs all four years of my undergrad days. A taste of that former glory sure would be nice.
November 25th, 2021 at 4:24 AM ^
Here, here. '93 grad..... we were so lucky. I'll be there. Section 6, row 22
November 24th, 2021 at 6:34 PM ^
I'll be there, early and loud
November 24th, 2021 at 6:38 PM ^
Going to the the game.Tailgating before hand. Post game plans involved getting hammered if we win or eating an inhumane amount of Frita Batidos to cope if we lose.
November 24th, 2021 at 6:41 PM ^
1. Yes
2. Watch from the stands, party all day in Ann Arbor if they win
November 24th, 2021 at 6:43 PM ^
I wish I could be there but I have to work the entire weekend. I have a feeling this could be the year. However, I thought the same back in 2018 during the revenge tour.
November 24th, 2021 at 6:49 PM ^
Going to my first Ohio St game. Michigan has never lost a game that I’ve been to so I’m hoping that holds true. Plan to check out gameday before heading in the stadium.
November 24th, 2021 at 6:50 PM ^
Sitting in front of the TV with nothing in reach that could be used as a projectile to damage it.
November 24th, 2021 at 7:14 PM ^
Got a couple of these for me, my dad, and brother. They are great, and even the kiddos enjoy hurling them around the basement.

November 24th, 2021 at 6:52 PM ^
The wife and I will be there. We don’t tailgate. Instead, we grab a nice big breakfast before the game. Hoping for a dinner celebration after the game just like 10 years ago.
Bundle up for a relatively chilly day.
Go Blue!
November 24th, 2021 at 6:54 PM ^
I’ll be there and bringing my best friend from high school (Georgia Alum) to his first game at The Big House.
November 24th, 2021 at 7:20 PM ^
I will be there with my brother. Tailgating with whatever we scrounge together, many drinks.
I just had a vision of watching the clock tick down on a 34-28 Michigan win. Let's see if I have the gift...
November 24th, 2021 at 7:28 PM ^
I'm going to a massive OSU watch party hosted by a very good Buckeye friend of mine. He rents a VA hall, has an open bar with a potluck so there's a TON of food, drinks and friends there-albiet all rooting for the wrong team.
This will be my 3rd time going (he has season tickets to OSU so only does this for M home games) and it really is fun although it would be LOT more fun if we win. There will be about 100 OSU fans there vs me, my wife and a couple of random M supporters.
Wish me luck Sarge, I'm going in.
November 24th, 2021 at 7:40 PM ^
brave, indeed. i would not find that enjoyable unless it was for MMA training purposes.
November 24th, 2021 at 7:41 PM ^
I was in Chicago during the 1989 Final Four at a party full of Illini fans - you will have a lot of fun on Saturday if Harbaugh can find his Sean Higgins.
November 24th, 2021 at 9:00 PM ^
Brave man. I was invited to the big tOSU bar pre-game tailgate in Broward County back in 2006 by a Buckeye friend. Big mistake, all morning long I got all kinds of nasty. Keep in mind this was the morning after Bo died. Never again.
November 24th, 2021 at 10:25 PM ^
You could not pay me any amount of money in the world to convince me to go watch a UM vs OSU game with Buckeye fans. I have only ever done it one time and it was in 2006. Never will I do that again. I live in Ohio and 5 minutes from most of my siblings who are die hard OSU fans and have never watched The Game with any of them. They are the most annoying fan base God ever created.
