I'll be damned.

I would get so drunk with that dag.

And we are easily amused now....

Today we have monkey on a dog. In 30 years, there will be a monkey on top of that monkey riding the dog.

I love it when dogs are on the field at football games catching frisbees.

I remember the sixties and the eighties, but the 70s are a blur.

What is the Stephanie Abrams halftime "performance" you are talking about?

Then they raised the price to $2.00. Can you believe that, Canham double the price of student tickets from one year to the next!

I came here to post the same comment. In the early 70s, my big brother the grad student took me (age 9 or 10) to a game for my birthday. We walked up to the ticket window and he bought our tickets. It is the only time in my life I had that experience at Michigan Stadium.
And I defintely remember seeing and loving Whiskey the Dog. I also recall that the next dog (perhaps offspring of Whiskey) also participated. The second dog was named Brandy.

never seemed to be able to run the ball across the goal line. He didn't last very long.
January 11th, 2015 at 11:58 PM ^
...and although $1 dollar is believable enough, how many coca-cola products did one also have to buy?
January 12th, 2015 at 7:38 AM ^
You know, a Coke or something? And did you eventually have to stop drinking it and go to bed, only to toss and turn about the Raiders stealing Schembechler? (When you use more than two tired bits in a post, they cancel each other out and are funny. Or not.)

$1 Student section tickets at the ticket window, you could bring in Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine to drink from your wineskin.
Those were the days!!

I remember the first non-OSU,MSU game to sell out. The next year they sold so many season tickets that Canham canceled band day (when they invited tens of thousands of high school band students to fill the seats and play at half time.)

I enjoyed Whiskey the dog, and seem to recall a Whiskey II.
As I recall, the dog used to run out on the field and retrieve the kicking tee following Michigan kickoffs. Fun.

Whiskey a Go Go...after that large rubber ball.

I'm old enough to have seen that.
The crowd would go nuts if he was headed for a touchdown.

Bring your own whiskey to the game! Back in the 70's that was the norm (okay it was usually a 12 pack of beer). We all enjoyed and we all behaved! There was also plenty of herbal refreshment back in the 70's. Something my parents noticed when I brought them to a game my freshman year in the student section. Oh the memories!

My wife sneaks in a couple of airline bottles of Canadian Club to every home game...
It seems that that she isn't the only one sneaking Whiskey into the staduim!

Brandy was Whisky's pup, I think. They were adorable wirehaired terriers. There was at least one season where the two of them were out there together. Supposedly it was not allowed, but they did it so well and the crowd was so delighted that it went on for years: about 1966 on into the 70s.
There was an elderly man with a long "cane" who sat in the row in front of us for several games until we realized the cane had a very long straw!

that's not a dog. It's just Tom Izzo.
January 12th, 2015 at 7:57 AM ^
during the first couple of years I was on campus in '71 and '72. The crowd loved it—who doesn't love a dog pushing a ball from one end of the field to the other?
Bring 'em back, I say. One of them needs to be named Bo.

Whiskey the dog and MSC at halftime!!
How about a shirt: "Bring back Whiskey"?

... but Dave Brandon loves Whiskey the Dog.
