A pic from earlier this season

I found a link to the tackle made by PUNTER Ross Ryan earlier this season. This is how you make a tackle!!!

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
Taking a knee to wrap up the game
Michigan Coach Lloyd Carr
Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz tries to get the correct info from the officials regarding the spot of the ball

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"
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
Chris hanging out with The Captain and a Jagerbomb!

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!
