My Opening Weekend Tri-Fecta
I have mentioned a few times on the board that I was going to the CMU, MSU and M games this past weekend with one of my best friends that played for App. He flew in from Phoenix and really enjoyed his weekend in the mitten. I thought the board might like to see som pics.
My girlfriend, a Chip.
From the southwest corner.
From the Press Box.
One of the assissitant strenght trainers at MSU was a trainer at App. St. when my friend played and he couldn't have been a nicer guy. He set us up with great tickets and was nice enough to give us a tour of MSU's facilites on a game day when he was really busy.
Their weight room.
Players lounge.
Our seats.
And finally the main event!!
On the way to the stadium.
Panaromic from our seats.
And perhaps the coolest thing from the weekend, the back of John Wangler's head.

Isn't college football wonderful? I've relocated to Texas and plan to hit a bunch of new venues this year. I'll be at Auburn @ Kansas State, Arkansas @ Texas Tech, Baylor @ Texas, and finally Maryland @ Michigan. I'll most likely be making my way over to Arlington for the title game to cap the season off.

I love everything about it. I hope you have a great experience at all of those venues. I have been to games @ Washington, UCLA, Soutern Cal, Arizona, Arizona State, Wisconsin, Western Mich, CMU, MSU and Michigan. I would do it all again because I love college football.

Lot of Chips fans out.

I think the back of Wangler's head makes it so.

I see your friend was wearing in App State hat. While at the big house did he get booed, flipped off by old ladies or spit on? Some fan bases feel it is acceptable to treat opposing team's fans in this manner.

Fortunately the Michigan fan base is not an average fan base. There may be a few rotten apples but on a whole, most Michigan fans are respectful and understand what sportsmanship means.

On most occasions home team fans are a lot friendlier when their team is winning.

Do you even "the only colors", bro?

I rememeber that you had posted about the plans for this weekend bout a week, perhaps 10 days ago, and I am glad to see it turned out to be as awesome as it sounded for you. If I am judging the panoramic shot correctly, we might have not been that far apart in terms of where we sat, but there aren't many bad views in that place, eh?

We were in Section 23 Row 43 on the aisle. Great seats

I hope you paid more than $29 for the pair from stub hub.

I have been to one game (us vs UConn) in my life and you made it to three in a weekend. You are my new hero!
September 1st, 2014 at 8:23 AM ^
repeat weekend next year.
go blue.

On same day (or same weekend) --
Michigan wins.
Notre Dame loses.
Ohio State loses.
Yes, it's a damn rare thing, mostly due to that last team listed there. When it happens, though, it is an occasion to celebrate. What say you, September 6? (And throw an MSU loss in there for good measure?)
The worst of all college football days, of course, is the dreaded "reverse trifecta."

Can we call the picture of the girlfriend a chip shot(like golf)?
Oh, that was bad. She is cute.

Man, you're like Forrest Gump. You just show up somewhere and you wind up on the 50-yard line.

Speaking of the guy who is everywhere . . . I thought I saw Lloyd Brady at the game wearing a Tom Brady U-M jersey. Can anyone else confirm?
