I will have a currency exchange set up near Scio Church Road and Seventh.....you may exchange your Canadian dollars for Swiss francs.

I assume there will be some shotgunning to be had.  Other than that, sounds like a great afternoon.  I'll be there with you man - can't wait.

Igloo to carry all of that stuff. Have fun. I'll be watching down here in Hell(Houston) with my three boys and pizza. I would BBQ but it's 107 this week so I'll pass.

The gourmand side of me: We have purchased a 10lb pork tenderloin, and will lovingly marinate it in lemon and oil before rubbing it gently with herbs and salt and stuffing each thickly sliced chop with proscuttio, pepperoni, and provalone and grilling it over charcoal and applewood chips.

A fresh apple slaw will present a delicate compliment to the heavier pork dish, and a cold pasta salad will suit the balmy temperatures well. 

 

The "forever an undergrad" side of me: I also can't wait to clumsily stuff handfuls of Cheez-Its in my mouth while I guzzle cheap beer and play Cornhole.

If there's no Victor's walk, it's always fun to march with the MMB up to the stadium.

is a great way to arrive at the gate.  MMB leaves about an hour before kickoff ... quite the tradition & very close to our tailgate  - lot SC9.  Short walk across Elbel and I'm stoked for the opener.  Gotta be there early for Game 1 ...

Go Blue!

No place on earth I'd rather be on a football Saturday than Michigan Stadium !

So I made this table last year and debuted it at the Iowa game.  I made the table to fit perfectly in the back of my SUV (it is hinged in the middle, the legs fold inside of it, and it then folds in half).  I was relocated to the Orlando area this year and just realized that I'm not going to be able to throw it in the back on the Jeep this time...design and planning fail.  Does anyone know for sure if I'll be able to check this with delta as this would be a tragic loss for the tailgate.  Folded dimensions are 41"x30"x12", weighs about 60 lbs.

Try Fedex or UPS. Much more reliable then some airline losing it. PGA tour pros do that with their clubs when they travel

I should have clarified. I'm flying out on Wednesday and waited too long to go ups/fedex. It would cost around $400 to get it there via ups at this point.

What passes for "tailgating" these days is pretty lame. The golf courses look more like the infield of a hillbilly Nascar race than a University event.  Back in the day, if you didn't have a ticket, you stayed home.  This guy will be everywhere on Saturday.
