Rivas makes a field goal - after we missed out on a TD
The Michigan defense hanging tough against Iowa's offense!
Check out the rushing yards. ONE whopping positive rushing yard with almost 5 minutes into the 2nd quarter! UGH!!! It was a painful first half to witness.
Chad Henne and the offense move the ball down the field
Herky the Hawkeye and the cheerleaders watch the action
One of the players touching the banner is #77 Sr. Captain Jake Long
The band gathers 'round!
And the band plays on!!!
Our field Commander rocks!!!
Another group shot! Now we're headed to the game!
Kelly and Reggie busting a move!
Group Shot! Don't ask for names - I seem to not recall!
Whitney was wondering what Dennis was up to... now you know ;)
Cheers!!!
What time is it???? Jagertime!
Our fancy tent with the side panels up (to keep warm!) along with the Tigers banner!
No I am not passed out! Glad that's out of the way. Here was our game plan for Sat.: Friday night - drive to Ypsi (3 hrs, 15 mins). Eat dinner. Go to Downtown Detroit - check out the Spirit and whatever else is going on. Arrived home around 11:30, went to bed around 12:30. Got up Sat. at 6. Left for Denny's at 6:30 - don't be late! Eat, drive home. Pack up the car around 7:30, arrive at our area around 8:10. Set up the tent, get a drink, continue to set up. Now, keep in mind kickoff wasn't until 3:30 and the Tigers game was at 8:00. In order to make it through the day, a nap was required, so I caught a few zzzzz's before we headed to the Big House! Now that you've read it, it makes PERFECT sense!! :P

Bonne & Bill in front of Comerica Park (we were trying to get on the news - but I don't think it worked!)

Cheli's Chili Bar (owned by hockey hero Chris Chelios) with the media gauntlet on the roof - all having a great view of Comerica Park.

Check out the sign!!!
Looking inside Comerica Park (after I climbed up the half-wall to take the photo for a better view!)
'Nuff Said!

Even though their team lost, Alysha, Haleigh & Alan pose for the camera! (somehow it does go down a little easier with adult beverages!)
JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T SEE IT THE FIRST TIME: 31-13!!! Take that (MSU QB) Stanton - how 'bout the University of Puke or the 100,000 community college graduate bandwagon jumpers?? You Drew Stanton are a complete jack@$$ !! Was I not clear? YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!! Just in case you wanted to be sure, unlike you, I HAVE a degree from a 4 year liberal arts college and I learned to keep my stinkin' mouth shut and not let the media hear me making dip %#@& remarks about the opposing team! Kudos to Jim Brandstatter for calling on the U-M fans to be responsible for 2 false starts and a delay of game during the game, AFTER Stupid Stanton said the Big House was the quietest group of 110,000+ people he's ever heard. (But I will be rooting for your team next week against OSU only because I detest the Crazy Nuts from Columbus!!) Oh, and by the way, you are now 0-5 against Michigan!! HA HA HA HA!!!
We're now 6-0!!

The moon comes up over Michigan Stadium
