First trip to Crisler: Cool story bro

Submitted by joby1only on

     I brought my five year old daughter (father daughter trip) to the BB game yesterday. I bought tix on Stubhub for $7.50 each the day of the UM's public sale. Our seats were in section 220 row 6. She was attemting to shoot baskets in the Kidzone when we were awarded the Stubhub fans of the day. Thus, we got courtside seats. At the under twelve timeout we were on the videoboard.

     She did not understand the magnitude of getting to sit that close. I was shaking and in tears when we got to our seats. Hope I am not the only one that crazy about my fandom. She was more interested in the cheerleaders, dancers, and band.

     We will never forget our first trip to Crisler and not just because of the upset. It would have been awesome even without the upgraded seats. My daughter Riley says (despite living in Ohio), "we don't like the red team we like Michigan." She topped off her visit with a mini football, necklace, and "you wish you could shoot like girl" shirt from MDen.

     I had to share this story with people that might appreciate it. It was too cool not to and I thought it would be a good thing to take our minds off of the CC and the worthless nuts getting into the CoFoPo.

That is a cool story. I wanted to take my 7 year old son to that game (also from Ohio, also would've been first trip to Crisler) but we had an important church thing.

Our first game will be Tuesday night. Hoping for no upsets.
