Here's a pic of me blogging on the laptop at Bill & Reggie's house. To answer the obvious quesion, yes, I am COLD!!! I have 2 pairs of long johns on (one is Army issue wind and waterproof - but my legs are still cold - hence the fleece blanket!) a silk longjohn top, turtleneck, 2006 Student shirt and my sweatshirt. Luckily the laptop is warm to help me out. What you can't see is the space heater oscillating at my feet! The glove is to keep my 'puter hand warm since I do most of the computer work (except typing) right handed!

The post game grub.
Amber & Laura try to keep warm after the game.

Mark takes one for the team by finishing off the Jagermeister with just a splash of Red Bull!

A team effort to pour the last of the Jagerbombs. Wind gusts were up to 60mph - needless to say, we took down our E-Z-Up due to wind problems. And it was so FREAKING COLD!!!!! UGH!!!!!! Sorry Mark & Amber - maybe the weather will be better the next time you're up here!

How many Michigan Alumni does it take to put away the E-Z UP? Apparently 2 if they are graduates of the Division of Kinesiology! Way to put those degrees to work boys!
Getting into the Halloween Spirit!

Thats game!! Michigan is now 9-0 with THE best defense in the country. Please note poor Northwestern's rushing yards! We forced them to pass - but none for a TD. Next victim: Ball State.
The 199th game in a row of more than 100,000 people! Next week will be the 200th game!
Getting the job done!
The football team being cheered by the alumni!

Happy Halloween!

An unexpected present when we arrived back at the house - the neighbors carved a pumpkin and placed it on the porch! Thanks!
Chris tunes in to a little baseball in October. The Tigers lost the opener - but came back to win game #2 to tie up the series.
Reggie cooks up some pulled pork and chicken
Someone may have had a few too many beverages
Iowa was a feisty team, but we were able to hold them to two field goals! Not bad! We are now 8-0

The 198th straight game of more than 100,000 people!
WOOHOO!!
TOUCHDOWN MICHIGAN!!

It is VERY clear that the rushing game is working for neither team!

The band does a tribute to marches for the half time show. They finished with (my favorite) John Phillip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever"
