Stay classy Michigan
The game was a real disappointment obviously. I wish we could get this MF monkey off our back. I had the best seats I have ever had today (section 33 row A) & might never get to do it like that again. I really wanted to rush that field but it just didn't happen. But I will say this, as I stood there in front of the seat number from my ticket, I noticed something else really great. Jake Long & Chad Henne standing right in front and next to me, against the wall watching the game & getting hounded by fan after fan & kid after kid trying to get an autograph and never turning anyone down. They wanted to watch the game so I didn't bother asking, I wanted to but just felt they had did enough. They were very nice and just smiled, grabbed tickets or whatever was given to them and signed away. I have always found that to be something important, especially for kids, and a lot of athletes just don't do it or avoid it any way they can. Those guys are awesome human beings. Big kudos to them. 1, for showing up & supporting their team, & 2, for giving up a little time for fans when you know they are busy trying to watch the game. Thank You.

No prob...I was just hoping you weren't thinking I was being some kind of a-hole or something. GO BLUE!!

gobble, gobble and a Lions win over the Clowns. Thanks to cleveland for having a more disfunctional organization than Detroit.

The Lions play Green Bay on Thursday.

I was in 33 Row A as well. How far were you from the near fight early in the game between two Michigan fans? I was right in the middle trying to keep things cool.

+1 for peacemaking

if it is M on OSU hate, but it was M on M hate. Plus, the instigator was pretty drunk. I didn't know the guy next to me, but we were talking most of the game, and he was cool. I had to hold him back from knocking out the drunk PoS.

The best was when I met Henne at Red Hot Lovers a month or so before the Florida game. I got a picture with him and talked briefly about the game. That was priceless.

That Stephen Ross owns the Dolphins, I wonder if he was somehwere in attendance also.
November 21st, 2009 at 9:43 PM ^
yesterday. I am sure that he was also at the game today.

and 4 rows in front of me was Chris Forcier, (Tates older brother) and Tates mom. For some reason they stayed in their seats for about half of the first quarter and then then lest and never came back.

It seems as if there was more red in the stands that I could ever imagine.
Did that many people really sell their tickets to the enemy or was it just the ABD director's "perception"?

There was WAY too much red in the stands today. A lot of the seats were where you normally have season ticket holders as well. I hope that the Athletic Department see this as an embarrassment and does something about it.

...in '93 and ' 95. 28-0 in '93 and Timmy B./Woodson in '95 kept them quiet.

I am sure they were likely introduced to a couple of recruits.
Nice.
