The Fight for the Little Brown Jug UM vs. Minn 10/27/07

Today is the day we fight to keep our jug where it rightfully belongs - in Ann Arbor. The jug has been fought over since 1909 - the longest tradition in college football.

We were up early this morning (5:50) to Denny's and to our tailgating area by 7:30 - the second to arrive. It is still dark and starting to rain while we begin to set up - unfortunately it will also be dark when we break it down!

Mike and his sister Sylvia join our group - he's a poster on the fan forum (which I'm addicted to) and they were making their way to A2 for their first game. He didn't know where to tailgate, and since we're of the philosophy "the more the merrier" the invite was extended and they joined us. It was great having you both, feel free to join us again!

Pre-game tailgating was partaken by all. Good times had by one and all!! All of the people in our tailgate area are now aware of the "Call to Jager" that I throw out when Dennis' presence is required. This week when the Call was given, we had lots of extra people joining us! No problems, hakuna matata, like we said, the more the merrier. We just need to remember to get some more cups before next week....
Dennis was celebrating a birthday - we had a triple-layer pumpkin spice pie for him. Mmmmmmm Good! It was, well, as easy as pie to make! Kevin was dressed in costume (as he always is for Halloween) as "SuperSperm" joined by Matt who was dressed alternately as Pee Wee Herman and a banana.

The biggest questions of the day though were regarding the status of our QB, Henne, and the status of Mike Hart. Henne was injured in the game against Illinois last week and no one knew if he would need to suit up and play. As it turns out, neither of them played and Michigan covered the point spread. WOOOHOOO!! I took UM and 23 1/2 over Minny. Looks like I won!
