No, I didn't misspell, it's fooball! This is the opening weekend of the college football season and, for the 16th year in a row, I was in the Big House to watch Meeechigan! While we didn't have a great showing like this, at least we didn't do this. It's been said that the biggest improvement comes between weeks one and two and, if you're a Michigan fan, you better hope this is true. If not, we're going to get smoked at ND (you know, because they're so great)!Anyway, for the first time since the final game of the 1999 season, Kevin and I did not attend the game together today. You see, things get more complicated when you have a baby! Kevin had a great idea to ask our old friends at Sports Info for a press pass for this game so we could TRY to sell our tickets (turns out there wasn't much demand for Vandy @ U-M). So, I spent the first half of the game watching from the photo deck. It was just like old times - what a view! It just wasn't the same, however, without Kevin so I left at the half, we got good food and headed home to watch the rest of the game.
While I was at the game, Kevin and Harmon hung out on campus. They ran some errands and Harmon had his first lunch on the Diag. Kevin said he was getting a lot of looks from the college girls, Harmon I mean! He was a good boy being out for his first game day in Ann Arbor.
Normally, we'd be riveted by the ND @ Georgia Tech game right now but, for the first time in 13 years, baseball in Detroit in SEPTEMBER means something. Kevin keeps asking me if I had to choose between Michigan football and Tigers baseball this year, what would I do. Easy answer - go Tigers! And, just in case you think I'm jumping on the bandwagon, I just ordered this t-shirt!
