Roll Call for Saturday + Early Weather Outlook

So wet Thursday, Friday and Sunday...but somehow dry Saturday?

Wow...football gods really hate Michigan.  

6 of us going

Tailgate at WestSide United Methodist on 7th.

Since it will be early we will do a breakfast casserole in the crockpot. 
 

Planning to rush the field like 97…

I will be sitting in a deer blind in the UP following the score. I will have a bottle of rum with me. If we win, I plan to celebrate accordingly. Go Blue. 

Going.

Drinking cheap beer (quantity over quality for tailgating), and cooking up some JERK chicken (get it, jerk, because of who we are playing) rice and peas, and fried plantains.

Bringing the Mrs who has reluctantly agreed to rush the field when the game ends.

Before this season, we hadn't been to any U-M game since the 2007 OSU game.  I decided this year to buy the four-pack because I just had a feeling/hope that The Game would be important this year. Think I figured Harbaugh was under the gun and would do anything to win this season. I was so bummed when we lost to MSU.  The funny thing is, that loss is almost meaningless in the grander scheme.  This game is turning out to be everything I had hoped.

That said, we'll be starting in the Lucky's parking lot at Stadium, just east of State. Then, we're headed to meet some friends at The Rib Crew tailgate in Crisler's lot.

I'm so pumped.  Trying to temper my expectations, but damn...let's do this!!

GO BLUE!

I'm going with my daughter.  We're gluttons for punishment.  We will probably grab an early lunch/late breakfast downtown before the game.  Dinner at Diamond Jim Brady's after the game and off to the building still known as Yost.

Driving in from Grand Rapids for The Game.  Hoping the downtown AA bars are open for a 10:30 am beer.  

Down for the hockey game on Friday, staying in Brighton both nights.  Hit the usual spots downtown(Literati, Vault of Midnight, MDen, Blank Slate, Rock Paper Scissors) grab some lunch, then walk to the game. 

I’m a mom of 4 teens. Watching from Texas. Husband is taking kids out of the house so they don’t learn any new language during THE GAME. 

Go Blue!

Not watching. Will be in the Bahamas. I'll check the score when I get home.

I'll be at the game with my brother. 

Both kids are home from college so I can't get to Ann Arbor this year. The last time I went to an Ohio State game, it was 2011 and I was with my son, who was 11 at the time and yes, we stormed the field. Will be watching from our family room, M flag at the ready. 

I’ll be there as usual…rain, shine, or blizzard!

Go Blue!

First time in about 20 years I'm not attending t(tm)OSU game at Michigan. My federal government has not rescinded the requirement for PCR testing for Canadians returning from Michigan meaning it would cost about $1200 in testing (it's pricey in Canada). The truly dumb part is they actually let you do the testing in Canada then drive to Michigan, sit in stadium, then return. It's inane. Testing requirements end November 30 (not kidding...thanks Justin Trudeau /smh).

I'll have to tailgate in my yard and tolerate the game on my tv. Sacrifices to the God of "doing things differently" may be necessary.

My Buckeye friend who I use to work with until he moved on. We both agreed never to watch the game together, since things could go wrong, which could damage a friendship (this was 15 to 20 years ago when  Michigan was more competitive). But I did watch the NC game with him, when Florida smoked them, I was happy and he got so upset by the blowout, LOL. Who knew  back then that Urban would end up at OSU.

I’ll be on my couch. 69°.

I'm travelling Friday from TX with my oldest son and his wife, and my niece's husband from WI.  We're staying at The Graduate, and sitting in section 15, row 16, courtesy of the OSU Athletic Department.  Naturally, we're all Blue-Bloods, but another niece's husband got 4 free tickets (and he's a State fan, and will be in TN).  So.... Free trip thanks to OSU (and a relative's business relationship with Cleveland ties).  I am concerned I'll be located in a sea of red.

Where to go, and what to do is still up in the air, and we're open to suggestions.  Seems like Schembechler Hall is closed.  Last game we've been to was the 2017 O'korn game.   We're staying till Sunday.

1.) Nope I can't go unfortunately....so I've got 2 tickets for sale if anyone is interested. (section 13, row 6, seats 17 &18)

2.) We were planning on making signs for GameDay, doing a little tailgating, and then going to the game and cheering until we were hoarse....but now I'll just be watching the game from home.  On the upside it's going to be like 75 and sunny in Phoenix on Saturday

I will be there. Let's make quite the ruckus during the festivities. 

Currently planning to be there, waaaaaay too early, at Pioneer.  Still haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do for lighting since the plan is to be there before sunrise.  Never set up a tailgate in the dark before - this'll be new.

Will be there at 7:30 am, RV lot at Pioneer.  Last year was the first time in 8 years not making it to the game. I am looking forward to grilled shrimp and rib eye steak.  Maybe a barley soda and some apple crown,  I have been to all the games at UM but started traveling to Cbus just to make sure I'm there when we finally win again. 

.  It's strange to say that I missed seeing my Buckeye friends due to the pandemic.  Yeah they are far more likely to enjoy the outcome Saturday  but they almost seam to feel guilty for winning so much.  I was never so gracious during the Cooper years.

I’m bringing the family up from Alabama. Best place to park?  Golf course?  Pioneer?  I’d like to grab breakfast, however, I’m sure it’s going to be a circus  on Saturday morning.

I am open to any suggestions/recommendations.

going to get into AA by 8:00-8:15 AM.  

Parking cars at our house off Hoover and then me and my brother will be attending. Sec 10 Row 51.

Not going to the game but will be watching at home in Kentucky.

Go Blue!

Beat the Luckeyes!

I’ll be there. Driving up from Ohio on Saturday morning with my brother in law. The plan is to get to AA around 8:30, find parking on a side street, get some breakfast, maybe meet up with some friends of his to tailgate/drink for an hour and then head in. This was a last minute decision for us, but we’re both tired of watching the game in a house full of Buckeyes. We’ll be in section 19.

Seeing an old friend and meeting his bride for the first time. Purely by providence they live less than a mile from the Big House. 

My wife and I will be in section 23 row 49. 

Go Blue!
