36 weeks 2 days ago	I was able to attend today.	I was able to attend today. It was a nice event for Cass Tech and King since they won State championships this year. Coach Dantonio arrived first. When Coach Harbaugh arrived, he went right over to Dantonio to sit next to him and talk. They were moved to the center table set up in the picture. They each had about 5 minutes to speak and both did a nice job. Dantonio had a good message about the importance of dealing with adversity and coming back strong. A lot of applicability to life. He owned it that they didn't have the season they wanted. Of course he did mention the Big Ten championships in prior years. Coach Harbaugh opened with having everybody stand up and give high fives. He talked about the power of the high five. He talked about the players in the room being the future. He talked about the importance of high school coaches in leading young men. A great quick speech that connected with the audience. You see his son in the picture. As a father of three, I kept thinking how does his son stay so darn well behaved for two hours. Then I remembered he is a Harbaugh! Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

49 weeks 14 hours ago	On our honeymoon on a small	On our honeymoon on a small boat cruising around the Hawaiian islands. We were docked off of the Big Island. We had the only room with a television. So fucked up to have this as the main memory of our honeymoon but so thankful for our life together and sad for the families affected. Our daughter just had to interview us about it for a social studies assignment. That was not fun but a very good lesson for her. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Depending on the game we get in the stadium between 15 and 60 minutes before kick off. My cousin will never leave before the game ends. I am guilty of leaving a few minutes early on occasion depending on an assortment of factors. I've been out of the country for 4 years and living in Missouri for 4 years before that so I am really excited for this season. I can't drink as much as 8 years ago so something will have to give. Saturday should be interesting. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
50 weeks 6 days ago	Two of the things I missed	Two of the things I missed the most while living in Shanghai for 4 years; Michigan football and The Hip. My wife and I talked about being able to see live Michigan games and a Hip concert upon return (we made 5 concerts over the years). I'm glad we are back and can go to the football games and saddened that I missed the Hip this summer. If Brian is referring to the December 2, 2000 show at Cobo, it was a great one. Compuware was having their formal annual party so their were people wandering around in Tuxedos and gowns while people like me were dressed much different. It was a long, strange night.

He asked my wife and then me to read a book with him but we both ignored him and went about our business. He was very polite about it the first couple of times. Then, he lifted the book over his head and at the top of his lungs yelled "I just want someone to read me this fucking book!" as he threw it across the room. My wife immediately said that was on her and read him the fucking book. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
1 year 6 weeks ago	Got my first tat from Tramp	Got my first tat from Tramp at Eternal in 1991. Of my 3, this one has stood the test of time the best. Victor Locke is also very good. He was operating out of Plymouth. Not sure if he is still there. I will be doing my fourth and final tat sometime in the next two years. When I lived in Oxford Ohio, I did an ankle wrap around maize and blue block MICHIGAN but honestly that was the worst artist of the three. I should have done that one in Michigan.

I am lucky to have traveled to many of the places listed in this thread and they are all great but New Zealand's South Island is the most amazing place I've been. Whale watching, wine country, beaches by boat only, glaciers, etc. Koh Samui, Thailand is my favorite tropical location but there are a lot of good alternatives.

1 year 19 weeks ago	Same for me. I was	Same for me. I was definitely my own worst enemy. Half of the classes my first two years were all the hardest because I was just trying to get by and have a good time. The one simple trick of just showing up to every class my last two years meant an incredible improvement. It is obvious after the fact but I wouldn't change anything. I enjoyed my time and learned a valuable lesson that has helped me in every endeavor since. Showing up is about 75% of the secret to success. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

1 year 32 weeks ago	I never had issues in Spartan	I never had issues in Spartan stadium but I was usually with a mixed group of Sparty and Michigan fans. My one time in Columbus was also with a mixed group of Michigan and buckeye fans in the late 90s. The tailgate was actually a really good time. The game sucked and we lost. Me and one other Michigan fan were sitting in the old bleachers at the open end of the horseshoe. After the game I got sucker punched by a friend of a friend. He completely changed from the morning. Too much liquor I guess. He played for the OSU baseball team and I am not very big. It didn't end well for me. I might go back someday. They wouldn't sucker punch an old guy with his kids right?

2 years 3 weeks ago	My SonI want my son to play	My Son I want my son to play but I screwed it up for him and I don't think he will want to play again. He has always been taller and bigger than most of the other kids his age so I signed him up at 5 years old to play pop warner tackle. The kids were 5 to 7 and he was physically competitive but not mentally ready. He played for three years and was a very good lineman but he didn't love it and wanted to play basketball year round. My mistake was having him play at such a young age. He loves basketball and is a good player so that's cool but I do kind of wish he was playing football. I feel better now that I've come clean on my bad parenting.
