Clam Chowder?

Excuse my ignorance, but Coach Hoke makes reference to "definitely having the clam chowder" in a newspaper article today, when asked about restoring traditions.

What is this about?

Thanks,

Bo's Friday night dinner consisted of clam chowder, salad, steak, baked potato and a couple other things that I can't remember off the top of my head (I don't have any of the Bo books in front of me). Guys also used to get a chocolate chip cookie before bedtime.

I also forgot to mention that Moeller and Carr continued with that tradition of having the same Friday night meal and the cookie delivery at night. Hoke's bringing it all back it seems.

of Dick Hunter's movie about a naked girl, they watch a movie about Dirty Harry, a guy who chases around another guy with a "huge revolver"

The film that is now sold as the DVD "Vintage Bo" features some pretty great footage of one such team meal during the 1970 season, followed by priceless footage of Bo telling the team to "synchronize their watches," and then even more great footage of Bo delivering the famous cookies himself.

Great tradition, glad it's coming back, and somewhat surprised it went somewhere in the first place.

I don't think the clam chowder tradition went away. There were numerous player tweets talking about it on Friday nights last season.

You sir, will be blasted by devotees of both types as well as all the less well-known variants. Of course, New England Clam Chowder beats that red stuff any day of the week.

what other little known pregame traditions go on surrounding the Michigan team?

Pregame tailgating traditions could also be included as well
