Poll: Which Michigan Road/Neutral Games Have You Attended?
Tomorrow night will be my 19th road/neutral Michigan game, including 4th straight road opener. I'm 8-10. Here's my list:
2015 Utah
2014 ND
2013 Northwestern
2012 Alabama
2012 ND
2012 Purdue
2012 Virginia Tech
2009 Iowa
2007 USC
2004 ND
2004 Purdue
2001 Washington
2000 UCLA
2000 Purdue
2000 Northwestern
1999 Wisconsin
1998 Northwestern
1998 Washington State
1997 Indiana
I should add we only lost those three games in 2000, and by a combined 7 points. Saw three goal posts come down that fall. Had I not gone we might have won another national championship.
So what's your list?

1995 - Indiana, MSU, Penn State
1996 - Northwestern, Ohio State, Alabama (Outback Bowl)

2007 - Northwestern, Illinois, MSU, Wisconsin
2008 - Notre Dame, Penn State, Purdue

2012 - Notre Dame, Purdue

I've seen at least one road win in person every season since 1994, except 2008 & 2009 (the teams only won one game total away from Ann Arbor anyway!) and Bloomington & Evanston have been the best places for me to catch a Michigan win (even the ugly ones!), where their record is 13-1. I will also note that 12 of the 19 times that I have been to a road a game that Michigan has lost have all come since 2008. I've been to every Big Ten school at least twice for a road game except Minnesota and the three newbies, which will change after October when I attend my first Little Brown Jug game outside of Michigan Stadium.

Then I got married in 2006, so, like, Big Ten/Bowl tour is currently on hold.
2005 Wisconsin (night game) was the worst experience we ever had. It was the last season for Alvarez. We almost had to fight our way out of 2 different encounters with many Badger fans and we totally weren't being dicks. Just wearing Michigan shirts.
