Here's to victory #159!!!!
When was your first game?
Go Blue!!!!!!!!!!
October 16th, 2009 at 1:51 PM ^
Homecoming 1976 against Minnesota in the rain. Ricky Leach and the Wolverines 45, Tony Dungy and the gophers 0...
October 16th, 2009 at 1:48 PM ^
Michigan's record in games I've been to is 12-9. Yikes.
Congrats, though, that is quite the achievement!
October 16th, 2009 at 1:49 PM ^
with a loss to Toledo! Don't feel too bad.
October 16th, 2009 at 1:51 PM ^
Haha, yeah, that Toledo loss is in my count, too. So are App. State, Oregon, and Ohio State :(
I think I would give my right kidney to see Michigan beat Ohio State live this year
October 16th, 2009 at 2:00 PM ^
to beat Ohio State in 2006. Whoops. You don't need both kidney's, do you?
October 16th, 2009 at 9:31 PM ^
I'm 0-2 with losses to App State and Toledo. I'm going tomorrow to see if the curse hasn't been broken by now.
October 16th, 2009 at 1:55 PM ^
The win percentage in games I've attended fell back below 80% last season (and again after the MSU game). It hadn't been in the 70%'s since the 1988 loss to Miami (yes that Miami) - or actually since the victory over Wake Forest the next week...
October 16th, 2009 at 1:50 PM ^
hello superfan
October 16th, 2009 at 1:52 PM ^
May you reach 400 games and witness a national championship!
October 16th, 2009 at 2:32 PM ^
Why not multiple National Championships :)
October 16th, 2009 at 2:54 PM ^
1/2 MNC already down. I was at the 1998 Rose Bowl!
October 16th, 2009 at 3:46 PM ^
-1 for calling it a "1/2 MNC." Leave that to the OSU/ND/MSU flamers.
October 16th, 2009 at 1:54 PM ^
I don't quite have 200 M games but I am just over a 100. This game will be the 85th consecutive home game I have attended. During this streak I have missed 2 family weddings. Their fault for scheduling a wedding on a football saturday!
October 16th, 2009 at 2:09 PM ^
skipping family weddings - that's commitment.
Those who attend will be champions!
Those who attend will be champions!
October 16th, 2009 at 2:39 PM ^
One of the weddings I missed my wife (fiance at the time) was in the wedding as a brides maid and she knew I wouldn't go so she just told her whole family I had to work. I wasn't going to drive to Escanaba for the weekend and miss a home game.
October 16th, 2009 at 4:20 PM ^
You also have a seriously awesome wife!
October 16th, 2009 at 3:43 PM ^
are awesome. Seriously
October 16th, 2009 at 1:55 PM ^
200 games, that's the kind of fan I like to hear about! Hail to the Victors!
October 16th, 2009 at 2:04 PM ^
raising my glass to you?
Well, I am. Congrats good sir!
October 16th, 2009 at 2:11 PM ^
I am 4-0 as a Freshman this year!
October 16th, 2009 at 2:19 PM ^
I made it to 13-0, then we went to Iowa City for the #1 vs #2 match up in 1985. Damn Rob Houghtlin...
October 16th, 2009 at 2:15 PM ^
I'm working on 262 home games myself. Makes me feel old to realize I've been to just about half of all the home games held in Michigan Stadium.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:22 PM ^
Makes you feel old? You are old.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:12 PM ^
Sadly;...yes, I am.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:30 PM ^
Old enough to have an awesome avatar? Yes.
+1 for you because of my childhood fascination with early 20th century blimp disasters.
October 17th, 2009 at 12:58 AM ^
Were there really that many?
October 18th, 2009 at 12:45 PM ^
Exactly.
October 17th, 2009 at 12:06 AM ^
Hey I would probably trade places with you if I could put that many games on my resume. Sounds like you have had a great life thus far.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:22 PM ^
and then be on the field for the celebration after. Pepper spray never burned so good!!
October 16th, 2009 at 2:23 PM ^
Congratulations to you sir! Gets me thinking about my own record, which I just calculated to 17-3.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:23 PM ^
Michigan is 5-1 in the games I've attended. I can only remember a 24-10 victory over Indiana circa 1982; the Penn State game in 2005, and the OSU game in 2005.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:24 PM ^
I wish I would have done a better job tracking like you guys. I started going to games as a child in the early 70's...and went to all the home games during my time as a student in the late 80's. I'm dying to know my record...guess I need to do a little research.
p.s. Should I count the four games in 1967 when in my pregnant mom who went to all the home games?
October 16th, 2009 at 2:30 PM ^
I don't think you want to, 1967 was not a very good season
October 16th, 2009 at 2:33 PM ^
21-17 with my first game coming in 2002 when we beat State 49-3.
Been to Columbus 3 times.
Wisconsin once.
Iowa once.
Northwestern once.
Notre Dame once.
MSU once.
So that leaves 30 games in the Big House with two more (PSU and OSU) left this year.
Hopefully I can get that .553 winning percentage up a little bit huh?
October 16th, 2009 at 3:01 PM ^
Congrats!
Tomorrow will be my 18th. I'm 8-9. I've come of age in a rough spot.
First game was Rice in 2000.
I've been to Purdue, MSU, and Iowa. Gone to all the games this year, all home last year + Purdue.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:46 PM ^
my best guesstimate: 24-3, including trips to Happy Valley in '06 and '08. 1997-2000 was a very good time to be in Ann Arbor...
October 16th, 2009 at 6:57 PM ^
I thought I was being anal by just keeping track of how many games I've gone to...you had to go and throw in the record! ;-) So guess what I had to go and do...(actually, it was kinda fun).
Saturday will be my 156th game (and I know the feeling, I got kinda excited at 150 last year...of course, then we played it), and 108th straight home game. Overall record (to go up one Saturday) 116-39-1. That's around .744%. 107-26-1 at home, 5-7 on the road, and 4-6 in Bowl games. Actually, considering that's on the road and bowls, that's not as bad as I thought it would be. Includes MSU (2-1), ND (1-2), OSU (0-3) NW (1-1) Purdue (1-0). Don't get on the road as much as I used to, or would like. And with big screen HDs, it's not really worth putting up with the fans as you get older. Bowls- Rose (1-4) Citrus/Cap 1 (2-1) Outback (1-0) Alamo (0-1). Hope to make one this year, but not sure if "I" can make it. They'll be at one.
Most games I ever caught in a season was 10 of 12 (Did ten a couple of other times, but that was in 13 game seasons). Best season records 8-0, 5-0-1, 9-1. Worst- 2-5, 5-4, 4-3.
And I'm pretty sure I went to some Rose Bowl game as a baby, but I didn't count that... lol
October 16th, 2009 at 9:08 PM ^
I've got quite a dorked out spreadsheet that captures turf type, attendance, starting QB, M and opponents AP ranking..
I break it out into stupid predictions every week here
October 17th, 2009 at 12:48 AM ^
nice 200 games that impressive...
im 1-2 but to quality teams...
07-08 win home vs purdue
08-09 lose vs psu
and
04?? rose bowl vs texas... we shouldve won that game...
October 17th, 2009 at 1:05 AM ^
Yech, I'm 19-10. I mean, that's good and I'm sure a lot of fans would love that, but whatever, I want less of those losses.
Oh well, I'll be hopefully 20-10 tomorrow (today).
October 17th, 2009 at 2:03 AM ^
I tip my hat in your direction, sir.
+1.
