Drove in last Saturday with the family. Stopped for lunch in State College, PA (imagine Ann Arbor if they took everything that's good out of it). Stopped for dinner in Oberlin, OH (wife's alma mater, cute little campus). Arrived in Detroit area around 10:00 PM. Immediately got in screaming fight with (bluehair) stepfather about RichRod. Spending the week Up North with real father (also bluehair). Trying to avoid talking about RichRod. Wife giving me dirty looks every time the subject of Michigan football comes up.

I'm coming up from Pittsburgh Friday evening. I'll be staying at my parents' house in Monroe and arrive in Ann Arbor Saturday morning to indoctrinate the girlfriend to Michigan's gameday experience.

I'm watching the game from Buckley's in Seattle. I'm stuck here because my wife's best friend (a UConn alum) is coming to stay with us* for Labor Day weekend.
*if UConn miraculously wins, I'm kicking her out.

I am coming from Mt. Pleasant which is about a 2.5 hour trip (with stops) but that drive easily feels twice as long especially after M has lost to OSU.
On the plus side I will be taking my new wife to see her 2nd game in the Big House which I am pumped for b/c now she has no reason to try to escape game days and has to deal with it the rest of her life :)
August 31st, 2010 at 11:34 AM ^
And yes, it does suck to live here
August 31st, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
At least getting rid of old furniture is easy.
August 31st, 2010 at 11:38 AM ^
5 minutes to get on 23
40 minutes driving on 23
10 minute drive from off the highway
August 31st, 2010 at 11:47 AM ^
Flying out Thursday morning, can't wait!
August 31st, 2010 at 11:58 AM ^

I'm driving from upstate NY (Rochester area) about an 8 hour trip. Well worth it to see the Maize and Blue and Brock!!! Hope to see you all there. Anyone got any tailgates I might be welcome to stop at? Always great talking Michigan football with people that actually know Michigan football.
September 1st, 2010 at 10:07 AM ^

Go Blue!

I am coming from Las Vegas on Thursday September 2nd at 8:25 am! So very pumped for this game.

Since the question is who's travelling the farthest to get to the game and mentions nothing about travelling home afterward (to an apartment on Washtenaw), I think I've got this one down. I'm leaving Shanghai saturday and connecting in Tokyo and Minneapolis, hopefully getting in to Detroit in the early afternoon (and then straight to the stadium). Keep in mind my flight from Tokyo to Minneapolis involves leaving at noon and arriving three minutes to noon, which is, and probably will always be, a complete mindfuck.
But that's only if these damn typhoons don't mess up my plan.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:58 AM ^
