Who's going to The Match tomorrow...more importantly who's got a tailgate.
I'll be at gate 10 as usual but Im not that excited about this "match". Who's got a tailgate I can crash at about 1:45. I would probaly only imbibe in one drink and a light repast since I have to represent U of M for the next five hours. Trusted bloggers XM, RobF, Seth and even my MGoBlinddate can vouch for me as a decent guy. I won't regale you with my stories of meeting Woodson, McElwain, Griffey Jr, Tomlin all within the last four months (maybe I'll talk about my favorite Bens (Bredeson, Mason, and Herbert)).
Looking forward to seeing all the bros who spent 2 weeks at the London School of Economics wearing their jerseys and scarves and saying "Liverpool ARE really playing well".
The are/is thing really messes with me. I spent the World Cup wrestling with that one.

I can’t stand that. “The team” (e.g. Michigan) is singular; “the players” (e.g. Wolverines) are plural. It’s not a difficult concept...
Then again the name of the language is not Americanish.
I'll be there. I'm also hunting for a tailgate as well...
I was hoping there would be more comments in here besides the requisite soccer-hater posts
I could even sweeten the pot... I’ve got swag to give the host. You could pick between a M soccer scarf, M basketball flag, M baseball seat cushion, Mbasketball trading cards (JMo, Spike era), Children of Yost T-shirt all mint in the plastic.
I also need a tailgate...maybe we should all just start one. Really throws you off with a game at the Big House that's so different that all your usual hookups don't exist.
I wonder if all of the usual lots will have their "football mode" in effect. Obviously the super close ones will -- talking further out by like the Coliseum / hill / greene and such ... I'll have to check it out.
I have three tickets in the LFC Section I'm trying to unload. Going to go and enjoy seeing a PL team I actually like. YNWA
Very sad to hear from UM that I can't bring Vuvuzelas and any other artificial noisemakers
Fireworks and flares. Normal parking and tailgating at State and Granger starting around 2:30.
Glory, Glory Man United!
Will be in attendance. Also looking for a tailgate to crash. Will come armed with beer! It'll be odd to be in the Big House and hearing YNWA and GGMU chants instead of the Victors.
Glory, Glory Man United!
Just call it a game. Why do Americans feel the need to change what they call things for soccer? I grew up playing and watching soccer and we always called it a game.

I won't be there for tailgating or tomorrow's game, but you're certainly welcome to stop by our tailgate (usually @ AAGO) on Football Saturdays, SB.
Thanks Rob I might visit you once this season--football's got plenty of options for pregame ( half the time I'm caller #7 for Victors Lounge passes).
