Michigan vs. Hawai’i

Aloha and Go Blue! It is finally here, game week! We have been busy cleaning off the dust and buying new tailgating equipment and are ready for the Michigan Football season opener! Now all we need is you!

For the first time in recorded MGoTailgate history, our signature flags will have the state flag of our opponents. No, we’re not imitating Wrigley Field, but it will be fun to see the attraction the Hawai’i state flag may bring our tailgate. As many of you know, we’ve flown a Michigan flags, a city of Chicago flag and also the Hawai’i flag for years, so it is fun to see the Rainbow Warriors coming to town.

As has been tradition, our season kick-off tailgate will be burger, brats and dogs. Of course, you may remember the awesome pineapple drinks and mai tais of the Air Force game a few years ago. What better game then Hawai’i to bring back those goodies, so we’ll have those too. We can’t guarantee you’ll get lei’d at our tailgate, but we can guarantee a great time!

As always, our tailgates are pot luck and BYOB, so please do use the signup sheet to let everyone know that 1) you are coming to the tailgate and 2) what you’ll be bringing. Please ask one of the hosts if you need the password.

One last thing, let the Hawaiians know: Michigan No Ka Oi!

A New Season Beckons

I had the windows open the other night at the house. Off in the distance I could hear the marching band playing. Oh, the goose bumps started to pop. It cannot be long now until our beloved Michigan Wolverines come back to the action at the Big House!

MGoTailgate will be back for another year starting Saturday, September 3rd and we want to know, will you be there? As we plan the menu for the first tailgate we are hoping to get a little head count started to see who will be coming down the the Blue Lot to start the season right! 12 Noon kick off so you’ll know we will start early for breakfast.

We have updated the football schedule, so for your convenience you can find U-M’s game times, TV channel and scores here.

Before we get too far into the planning. We need to give a BIG MGoTailgate shout out to Nikki and Rachel on their marriage!! Congrats ladies!!! May love and happiness follow you forever!
