"We Believe in our Tailgaters!"

Submitted by elhead on

Note: take irony pill for this one...

Did others see this? Sent to Alumni Assn members earlier this afternoon by email.

The football program may be falling down a black hole, but hey, "Tailgater Magazine Ranks U-M No.19 Tailgate College." In better times I suppose we would be all hassling over the ranking.

Am having a hard time finding a date on this, but it refers to Homecoming which means November 1 against Indiana. It says here that President Schlissel will be on hand.

On a humorous note - I suppose that in Florida they're called "tailgators" (boooooooooooooo, that's bad...)

And OT: the email also points out that Blimpy Burgers is now located next to the Fleetwood. Sounds like bad planning to me, I hope that the one doesn't drive the other out of business.

Sorry about the only being able to put about 60 seconds into this, but as far as "protest shirts" ideas go, this was along the lines of my thinking

I am swamped with work right now and don't have time to make the kindergarden level project look any better... Thoughts on the sentiment? I already know the design sucks ass.

Those clips are great!  I was walking down the sidewalk in my neighborhood yesterday (I live in SF), brooding a bit, and came accross some kids' chalking.  There was hopscotch, tic-tac-toe, and at the end, in bold pink and purple chalk: M GO BLUE.  There is so much that is special about Michigan that has nothing to do with football.
