MGOBLOG Spring Game Tailgate - April 17th
Filed under:
So, I have the day off and am a little bored. Well, better start looking ahead to the spring game!
With an ample amount of time for proper execution, I call on Brian, Tim, Paul, FA, and the entire mgoblog community to begin planning for an awesome mgoblog tailgate for the spring game on April 17th. Because September 4th vs UCONN seems like light years away, the spring game is the next best thing we have to look forward to (sorry bball and hockey). Let's beat the 50,000 some mark set last year and support our boys. And as a plus, most of the improvements to the stadium will be done for us to check out.
I would love (LOVE@!) to see the Michigan spring game get to the wild and slightly insane levels of attendance set by the SEC schools every year. Also, there will probably be a bunch of recruits there so seeing a bunch of drunk, rabid fans show up to a scrimmage in the middle of April has got to be good, right? RIGHT.
So mgobloggers, what do you think? I know something similar was done last year in terms of a tailgate but whatever, let's do it bigger and better this year.
P.S. That is an awesome time of year in a2 (fingers crossed that the weather behaves well) so after the game outdoor patios at places like Dominicks, Charleys, Main Street, or wherever you might like to go will probably be open. JUST DO IT.
EDIT: Perhaps this should be a Diary. Moderators, if ya agree make the appropriate switch.

I don't want to kill the buzz and energy of this post, but it's a tough one to make for out of towners like myself.
I do agree though that we should show strong support. I hope somehow I could make it work. Anyone within 3 hours driving has no excuse!!

Sprung For Spring
I would like to attend this fine event. Is there an Mgoblog tailgate protocol? I have not been to a game since I was just a wee lad.

The game replay, including the alumni flag football game, was available to watch after the fact online last year. I'd assume the same will be made available this year.

no-fly list maybe?
Alan Garner: Gambling? Who said anything about gambling? It's not gambling when you know you're gonna win. Counting cards is a foolproof system.
Stu Price: It's also illegal.
Alan Garner: It's not illegal. It's frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.
Phil Wenneck: I'm pretty sure that's illegal too.
Alan Garner: Yeah, maybe after 9/11, where everybody got so sensitive. Thanks a lot, bin Laden.

I love the recruiting boost we can generate from a big spring game attendance. Its worth the drive from Chicago to AA.

Spring Game
I will definitely be attending, can't wait until March 14th when we start practicing so we can actually see some football highlights.

What?
S&C session transcripts aren't enough?
"~ Will Campbell lifts weight. Lowers weight. Repeats several times.
~ Barwis yells something about wolves.
~ Mike Martin lifts weight. Lowers weight. Repeats several times. He appears to be quite well suited to lifting and lowering heavy objects.
~ Brendan Gibbons attempts to lift weight. Fails to do so. Barwis consumes his soul."
February 15th, 2010 at 12:03 PM

You made a slight technical error.
Mike Martin does lift and lower heavy objects very well, but he's actually more well suited to breaking them in two. Especially if they come in scarlet and gray.

Except Mike Martin won't be doing any of that until after the Spring Game because of his surgery back in December.

Not fully...
But according to the Media Outlet That Shall Not Be Named, Martin has been lifting with three limbs as of January. I'd guess that they have him on some very, very basic lifting to rehab the shoulder by now.
And by "very, very basic lifting," I mean cars. Possibly trees.

I'm pretty sure that's what they did last year if I am remembering correctly. I remember Brian being pretty apprehensive/unsure about the whole thing since...well this is the internet and we are going to meet in person. I think it worked out well last year, though I wasn't in attendance.
