Sort of OT - Curses and other phenomenon
I'm going to the game this weekend and I'm a little concerned because we've lost every home game I've attended since graduation (1987). That includes games against Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio State and last year's Toledo game.
Normally, I'm not one to believe in curses, etc. But something else I've noticed is that when I leave the room when watching the game on TV, we score. So now, when we're down, my family makes me leave the room. I'm just happy to help out the team.
I've been to two Northwestern games at Northwestern and we've won both games.
Here's to the end of the curse!

"When I was three, I thought the world revolved around me
I was wrong"

The world doesn't revolve around me?
(Is there when I have to note "sarcasm" ?)
Obviously, my irony didn't translate very well at 10:30 PM last night.

Please sell your tickets. You are the bad luck guy.

Whatever you need to do in order for us to win. :)

I believe you meant, "curses and other phoenomena," but your "losing streak" is quite impressive. I'm sure there are some great stat-masters here who could calculate the odds of UM losing every game you attend, though, if they had an exact number.
You definitely seem to have stumbled into an anomaly, whatever the odds.

how to spell.

The odds depend on how many games he attended in 2005 and 2008.

Have you ever tried just reading the mgoblog live game blog? Just an idea.

When I'm relegated to the "other room," I commandeer the laptop and hook up to the Live blog.

There's a saying that to get something you've never had, you must do something you've never done.
For you I suggest the following:
- Smuggle 5 or 6 mini bottles of Bacardi and SoCo into the stadium (you have Coke to mix it with now!) and get trashed.
- Celebrate Halloween early by wearing a straw hat (the bigger the better) with maize overalls. If it's too cold, Michigan snuggies have known magical powers.
- Tell everyone you're ONLY there to hear the Penn State Blue Band play "Seven Nation Army" and to see Mike McQueary's hair in person.
- Profit.

Eastern? High School? "since graduation in 1987" is so vague.
Don't say Michigan, I won't believe you.

University of Michigan, AB in Communications, L, S, & A, 1987.

Look at it this way...there are thousands of people who watched those games on TV and probably believe we lost because they weren't actually there. Maybe it's their fault?
