Hot Damn!
and oct. 16 at 8 am is not even close... so pumped!
...TomVH's Potent Potables perchance?
Iowa game last year. We were invited to an Iowa tailgate party. Interesting .....no booze allowed on campus at all. $100.00 fine or possible jail. VERY conservative venue.
This year those Iowa fans are invited to our tailgate for an education as to how M fans party, Should be a real good time. Can't wait!!!
...at mgoblue.com, your handy dandy source for most things Michigan sports. The game will be broadcast on ABC. This info also appears here.
Bust out the lights boys, it's night game(sort of) time!
The Iowa game should be a lot of fun. Early enough in the season for warm weather, with darkness in the 4th quarter. Should be a great home atmosphere.
may the negbangs begin...
But I got sideline passes for that game through that Mott's donation at the spring game. My kid and I will be partaking of the Circle of Death up close and personal. Now all I have to do is get my game tickets and a couple of Blimpyburgers before the game, and my life will be complete.
...on its own makes you deserving of a brag. The sideline passes clinch it. Good on you.
I just sprang for the towel/tshirt donation deal. Those were pretty legit shirts though, very well put together.
...I bought the teddy bear for my wife?
I hate you for mentioning Blimpy Burger. Now my mouth is watering with the thought of a triple with egg, bacon and peppers on an onion bun. The grease coating every inch of my stomach, washed down with an ice cold root beer. Problem is I live in Ohio and have a long wait to get one. Gee thanks, :P
Come on man, its all about a decuple (thats 10 for the MSU fans out there) with bacon, salami, and grilled onions on a kaiser.
I work right next to Blimpy and walk by it every day on my way home for lunch and again after work. It takes the will of a saint to not just hang a left and walk right inside for a quint every time i pass it.
+1 for the Motts donation
The Iowa-Michigan rivalry is turning into one of the better ones in the Big Ten, outside of the obvious ones. M and Iowa have played a number of good games over the last decade or so, and a handful lately have been at good time slots. Hopefully this continues, but hopefully we win them all for a while.
dad doesn't like driving back to ohio at night with the drunks -- he isn't as young as he use to be.
Avoiding drunks while driving in Ohio is a 24 hour a day challenge, not just the nighttime. You dad is braver than you're giving him credit for.
Oct 16 is my birthday and I'm gonna sloppy inebriated for this game. Woohoo!!!
I remember when that was, like, confirmed right before the game. I was kind of disappointed when it didn't happen.
That's gonna be the game where they sit up and say, "Hey, looks like Michigan is really back!"
I got the sideline passes for my daughter and I as well. They were very clear about having to be off the field before the game starts but do you think it will include Circle of Death and Touch the Banner? I hope so. Mott is a great cause. Hopefully next year they have something like watch the game from the pressbox or something like that.
I also think that U of M should auction or raffle off the unsold suite and club seats to raise more money for Mott. It's better than having them sit empty.
Time for some payback, cheers!!! That said, l hope we don't get so rowdy as to allow other institutions to sully our fair name! Still a ways to go and I'm sure we will chat about this again, but that is something I hope we keep in mind...
As a resident of Nova Scotia, Canada I have never heard of blimpy burger. After hearing the descriptions, I must say I am tempted to make the 2000 mile drive to Michigan to get one. Is it a franchise found only in Michigan or are there others throughout the USA?
We don't need no STEENK-ING franchise!
There's only one. And it's awesome.
Blimpy Burger Ordering Guidelines - Study Up
When you come in:
1) Every person must stand in line and order their own food.
2) Every person intending to "dine in" must have their OWN tray. (Food is packed "to go" if you don't have a tray.)
3) Pay attention so we can ask questions about your order.... and please, NO CELL PHONES in line!
When it is your turn to order:
1) First, the deep fryer order: french fries, fried veggies, etc.
2) Then, what size Blimpy: double, triple, quad, quint
3) Next, decide what kind of roll: plain, onion, kaiser, etc.
4) Any grilled items: onions, mushrooms, peppers, etc.
5) Just before the burger comes off the grill, you will be asked to pick what kind of cheese you prefer, if any.
6) After the burger comes off the grill, you will be asked what type of condiments you would like - please start with "wet" items like mayo, ketchup or mustard... and only say what you want and NOT what you don't want!
After you have finished and you are savoring the last bite of Blimpy goodness:
1) Please bus your table and recycle beverage containers.
2) Start planning for your next trip to Blimpys!
Michigan football games should start at 12 noon. All of them. This 3 o'clock stuff is lame television pandering.
I actually LOVE the 3pm starts and would be OK if everygame started at that time. When I was a student, they were great...you had a bit of time to shake off the hangover before jumping back on the pony. Now I am old and like to get yardwork done before kickoff.
See, I like the noon start time, because I don't have to spend the day worrying and in anticipation.
The evening game will probably kill me. But it will be a blast.
...and I do not like the games interrupting my dinner plans.
With the noon starts, it was a perfect routine:
2AM - get back from the bar, go to sleep
7AM - wake up, eat, think about starting to drink
8AM - pregame honestly
11:30 - head for the Big house
4PM - make it home, eat/nap in some order
8PM - get ready to go out again
now a 3:30 game time:
2AM - get back from the bar, go to sleep
7AM - wake up, eat, think about starting to drink
8AM - pregame honestly
12Noon - find food, continue drinking, realize you have a whole football game to go through, attempt to pace yourself appropriately
3 - head for Big House
7-8ish Leave game, Starving
8ish - Get home, eat, realize you have no motivation/need a nap/want to go out anyway/Saturday night ruined cuz you could have really used 2 extra hours to nap before going out
Anyway, I preferred the Noon routine, but being a graduate... it doesnt affect me like it once did
