Michigan Game Wedding Present!

Submitted by Papajoe on

I recently got married and the wife and I decided instead of getting each other wedding presents we would take a little trip to AA.

Neither of us went to Michigan, but I was one of the lucky ones that has been brain washed since birth. She, unfortunatly, grew up an tOSU fan. After the '08 Wisconsin game, which was her first, it did not take alot of persuasion to convert her. I am sad to admit, but now she is more of a rabid Wolverine fan than myself.

The reason for this post is to ask for a little help from my MGOBLOG bretheren. I have only been to games in AA and have never ventured to campus. I here it is one of the most beautiful in the country, and from what I have seen in pictures it is. The farthest I have made it into AA is State Street and would love to see the home of my beloved Wolverines in more extensive detail.

We will be attending the Wiscky game (for sentimental reasons of course) and will be in AA Friday night. If anyone could suggest good hotels, bars, restuarants, and entertainment for Friday and Saturday it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks and Go Blue!

My wife and I moved our wedding to Sunday so we could be at Wisc 06.

I touched on that subject in my life story in the "why do you care about Michigan?" thread, but that's just one more detail.  Another detail: Where I proposed...  is visible on TV during every home game.

edit: doing the math correctly, that was 9/24/06.  Any other marriage related M stories of note?  I find them interesting AND cool.

Congratulations on your recent union.  Remember these two words "Yes dear" and live by the mantra "happy wife, happy life".

Unfortunately, you will be missing A2 in the prime of it's beauty.  The leaves will all be gone by the Wiscy game.  However, there is still much wonder to behold and you will definately have a most triumphant time!

Depending on your age, I would agree with Clarkie's post (above) about going to Rick's for a quick stop.  There really is no substitute (when you are youngish) for partaking in pitchers of cheap ass beer and listening to great live music.  You really never know what band you hear at Rick's might be an eventual big thing.  It's always great to duck into Rick's pisser for a quick "boot and rally" from the aforementioned cheap ass beer (did it many times as an undergrad).

If you can still walk after Rick's, head on over to Ashley's (again kudos to Clarkie) to get some REALLY good suds.  Between the Stadium, Rick's and Ashleys, you will pick up the campus vibe during the geometry.  Don't overplan it.  Go with the flow.

We are kinda youngish so I appreciate the help. It has been really fun watching her fandom blossum. From MINOR RAGE to Brock's 1%, the last few seasons have truly been something we will always remember, thats for sure! Nice to get some local knowledge,   HAIL!

in addition to zingerman's for lunch, get a burger at blimpy buger and have breakfast on sunday morning at angelo's.  is pizza bob's still on state st.?  get a milkshake there if it's still around.  do they still have dollar dogs on hoover after games?  get one of those if they do.  rick's is fun if you are just out of college, but more grown up bars and restaurants are on main street.
