MGOBLOG Spring Game Tailgate - April 17th
So, I have the day off and am a little bored. Well, better start looking ahead to the spring game!
With an ample amount of time for proper execution, I call on Brian, Tim, Paul, FA, and the entire mgoblog community to begin planning for an awesome mgoblog tailgate for the spring game on April 17th. Because September 4th vs UCONN seems like light years away, the spring game is the next best thing we have to look forward to (sorry bball and hockey). Let's beat the 50,000 some mark set last year and support our boys. And as a plus, most of the improvements to the stadium will be done for us to check out.
I would love (LOVE@!) to see the Michigan spring game get to the wild and slightly insane levels of attendance set by the SEC schools every year. Also, there will probably be a bunch of recruits there so seeing a bunch of drunk, rabid fans show up to a scrimmage in the middle of April has got to be good, right? RIGHT.
So mgobloggers, what do you think? I know something similar was done last year in terms of a tailgate but whatever, let's do it bigger and better this year.
P.S. That is an awesome time of year in a2 (fingers crossed that the weather behaves well) so after the game outdoor patios at places like Dominicks, Charleys, Main Street, or wherever you might like to go will probably be open. JUST DO IT.
EDIT: Perhaps this should be a Diary. Moderators, if ya agree make the appropriate switch.

COUNT ME IN. The only problem I'd have is deciding which of my 10 different MGoBlog shirts to wear that day..
I'm bringing the cheese brats!
February 15th, 2010 at 11:01 AM ^
Don't you mean to end your post with "IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING"?
February 15th, 2010 at 11:03 AM ^
haha, yeah I didn't even think about that.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:07 AM ^
I don't want to kill the buzz and energy of this post, but it's a tough one to make for out of towners like myself.
I do agree though that we should show strong support. I hope somehow I could make it work. Anyone within 3 hours driving has no excuse!!
February 15th, 2010 at 11:06 AM ^
I would like to attend this fine event. Is there an Mgoblog tailgate protocol? I have not been to a game since I was just a wee lad.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:04 AM ^
If MGoJen brings her MGoCookies, I'll be there. If not, I'll probably still be there.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:19 AM ^
White chocolate macadamia nut okay? I made them again yesterday, they're awesome!
February 15th, 2010 at 11:34 AM ^
That'll do. Thank you kindly!

I'm driving 20 hours straight through to Florida on the 17th.
Dammit.

The game replay, including the alumni flag football game, was available to watch after the fact online last year. I'd assume the same will be made available this year.
February 15th, 2010 at 2:00 PM ^
Denying you my in-the-flesh awesomeness is what is so hard.
I'm weeping for the baby childrens.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:06 AM ^
Someone really needs to start a "Who will be the Spring Game starting QBs?" thread. We haven't seen one of those yet today.
3...2...1...
February 15th, 2010 at 11:46 AM ^
How many games will Michigan win this year?
February 15th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
How many games does Rich Rod need to win to keep his job?
February 15th, 2010 at 3:57 PM ^
have we heard anything about this guy yet? his recruiting video looks like the real deal and i would love to see him in blue this fall.
February 15th, 2010 at 4:14 PM ^
This program will never succeed until they ["Family Values"].
February 15th, 2010 at 1:47 PM ^
4 if Devin redshirt... he needs to start. Tate isn't fast enough to run this offense
February 15th, 2010 at 11:23 AM ^
be in if i wasnt about 10000 miles away. I really really wish i could go to a tailgate again or even a football game but its not gonna happen for the next 8 years or so. At least i have you guys and mgoblog to keep me updated on everything MICHIGAN.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:26 AM ^
Damn man, are you in a Turkish prison or something?
February 16th, 2010 at 1:05 AM ^
Alan Garner: Gambling? Who said anything about gambling? It's not gambling when you know you're gonna win. Counting cards is a foolproof system.
Stu Price: It's also illegal.
Alan Garner: It's not illegal. It's frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.
Phil Wenneck: I'm pretty sure that's illegal too.
Alan Garner: Yeah, maybe after 9/11, where everybody got so sensitive. Thanks a lot, bin Laden.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:23 AM ^
HAS NO EXCUSE TO MISS IT! -- yes, I am yelling..
I love the recruiting boost we can generate from a big spring game attendance. Its worth the drive from Chicago to AA.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:25 AM ^
Can I be the first nerd to point out that a lightyear is a measure of distance, not time?
February 15th, 2010 at 6:21 PM ^
He's from Hong Kong. He was referring to distance.
February 15th, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
thanks
February 15th, 2010 at 6:38 PM ^
no problem
February 15th, 2010 at 11:28 AM ^
i will be attending this will be my first spring game ever i cant wait. My wife whose a big osu fan will be in attendence with me!!! We need to turn her blue.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:29 AM ^
Im 8 hours away, but March and April, are the 2 months pre-preseason for me. A gym and a hotel are all need (besides the cheap beer and meat tubes).
February 15th, 2010 at 11:31 AM ^
Definitely not in a prison. Im however in my own country and banned from the states for 10 years so i have about 8 left unless something changes for the better and i can come back.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:37 AM ^
I bet she looked 18!
February 15th, 2010 at 11:41 AM ^
Is this directed at me????
February 15th, 2010 at 11:52 AM ^
If she can drive the car, she can ride the bar.
February 16th, 2010 at 7:42 AM ^
Nobody would ever say such a thing about you, Mr. Polanski.
February 16th, 2010 at 7:43 AM ^
TOUCHDOWN!
Well played, sir.
February 15th, 2010 at 11:40 AM ^
I will probably be there. But I need to know where and when this event will be held (the tailgate, not the spring game. i'm not a complete idiot).
February 15th, 2010 at 11:40 AM ^
I will definitely be attending, can't wait until March 14th when we start practicing so we can actually see some football highlights.
February 15th, 2010 at 12:00 PM ^
S&C session transcripts aren't enough?
"~ Will Campbell lifts weight. Lowers weight. Repeats several times.
~ Barwis yells something about wolves.
~ Mike Martin lifts weight. Lowers weight. Repeats several times. He appears to be quite well suited to lifting and lowering heavy objects.
~ Brendan Gibbons attempts to lift weight. Fails to do so. Barwis consumes his soul."
February 15th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
Mike Martin does lift and lower heavy objects very well, but he's actually more well suited to breaking them in two. Especially if they come in scarlet and gray.
February 15th, 2010 at 2:30 PM ^
Except Mike Martin won't be doing any of that until after the Spring Game because of his surgery back in December.
February 15th, 2010 at 3:52 PM ^
But according to the Media Outlet That Shall Not Be Named, Martin has been lifting with three limbs as of January. I'd guess that they have him on some very, very basic lifting to rehab the shoulder by now.
And by "very, very basic lifting," I mean cars. Possibly trees.
February 16th, 2010 at 7:56 AM ^
Two snarling wolves.
Get to it, 'shoppers.
February 15th, 2010 at 12:01 PM ^
I'm there, as stated in every other MGoBlog Tailgate thread. Just need to know where we're running it from.
February 15th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
So are we basically waiting for Brian and/or Tim to name a place?
February 15th, 2010 at 1:18 PM ^
I'm pretty sure that's what they did last year if I am remembering correctly. I remember Brian being pretty apprehensive/unsure about the whole thing since...well this is the internet and we are going to meet in person. I think it worked out well last year, though I wasn't in attendance.
February 15th, 2010 at 12:18 PM ^
I will be there for sure. My and my pops attended last year, and this year we're bringing down 8-12 others with us. It's going to be a great time!
February 15th, 2010 at 2:51 PM ^
for the first time. Bring two other freinds also. How long does the scrimmage last?
February 15th, 2010 at 1:05 PM ^
Sorry if I am out of place but I found the event on facebook and wanted to post it. So here ya go http://touch.facebook.com/#/event.php?eid=331300821638
February 15th, 2010 at 1:21 PM ^
Good find...I was freaking out for a second though because that's a link to the touch site.
February 15th, 2010 at 2:09 PM ^
Oh my. I'm so sorry. Here is the better link. http://www.facebook.com/?sk=events#!/event.php?eid=331300821638
February 15th, 2010 at 1:07 PM ^
