We travel well since BK. Too bad that did not help to get into B12.

In BE days I always went to WVU, PU, Loserville and sometimes Sadexcuse. Now it maybe Memphis and ECU,

I hate to use fractionals for other sites.

Why not to other places? The other locations are only a three or four hour flight. Has your G5 been repossessed?

I have six headed up Friday night in a buddy's RV and setting up at Pioneer High School. Any other's heading up to that tailgate lot?

I now have spousal approval to attend... in writing.

Now I need to figure out who to go with. Might make my dad attend his first college football game.

I'm sure it is on here somewhere, but what is the visitor section?

I am not surprised. UC fans typically travel well.

Spousal approval? Way to take charge sir.

I couldn't find any motels, so I'm sleeping in my El Camino in the Walmart parking lot.

Married? Been married for long?

You have to pick your fights, Mark. Don't really understand what's wrong with asking my wife if she's cool with giving up one of her weekend days having the kids all day while I go drinking and watching UC football.

If being considerate makes me a wimp, eh, I'm a wimp.

Or as Doss calls it, first class accommodations.

Sorry if it came across that way. You can't communicate tone through email or social media. Wasn't mad at all. Read that post with more of a "whatever" tone as opposed to a raging tone.

The Alumni Association has a paid tailgate https://www.alumni.uc.edu/botrum on the golfcourse (hole #6) across the street for $35 from 9am-1130am that is more or less a donation to UCats . Kids are $20 because they don't have the drink tickets included...I heard they were thinking 200-250 people for that official tailgate.

I have a group of 12 people heading up to the game...not sure yet if I am doing the UC Alumni tailgate or hanging out with a mix of UC / UM people.

UC Alumni Association closed this tailgate because they were up to over 300 people

You heading up 23 this weekend Senior?

Yes sir...will be up there early Saturday morning for tailgaiting

I incorporated it into my wife's wedding vows.. "do you promise to cherish and protect him, allowing him to go to every uc game he wants, as long as you both shall l live?"

I'll be up on Berkeley where the family is normally posted up, but I'm going to try to make it down to the course for the UCAA outing too. Safe travels...23 has been a nightmare with the work they're doing on the 14/23 interchange lately, here's hoping that doesn't back everything up with the Detroit traffic.

I'm heading up with another 3 that morning, we usually do the alumni functions on the road but those are sold out, any suggestions on where else to go?

Really the course has a ton of good tailgates that I'm sure you could drop into...outside of that, the residential area to the west of campus (where I'll be for the majority of the morning) always has good tailgates too. There are normally some great setups at Pioneer HS too (diagonal from the stadium).

See you all on the course. Tailgate I'm going to is literally the hole next to the stadium.

We used this site to pre-order a tailgate pass: https://www.parknparty.com/site/city-det...20Arbor-MI

Ended up with the Fresh Start Clubhouse because of price and proximity to the golf course, and the lack of other parking/traffic areas for when we leave.

I'll see you guys in the stadium.
