Down here in Texas...

Sure feels like home! So many fellow Blue fans down here, and so far (been here since Wednesday) only a couple Bama fans. Caught a Rangers game the first night and heard so many people yell "GO BLUE" in my direction as I was wearing a Prince Fielder jersey and M hat. Then, as I was explaining to a few Mich fans in our hotel lobby during breakfast how I should have waited to buy tickets because a pair in the 400 section ran me $900, I was given a pair of tickets to the tailgate party by a former player of Bennie Oosterbaan!! A guy by the name of Hugh Crossland who played from 56'-58' and his wife made the trip from Boston and upon hearing that I paid what I did, his wife said "hey, you and your little guy go have fun at the tailgate party," and hands me the tickets! Found out he grew up in the same neighborhood in Toledo ass Bob Chappuis....a neighborhood that is no more than 10 minutes from my house! What a cool trip so far...sooooo worth the drive. Thought I would share with you guys. GO BLUE! BEAT BAMA!

If it was me, I would skip the game, and instead, take those $450 tickets to the dentist, and have my teeth capped with them...

wow, that's pretty cool. should be a pretty sweet tailgate party. I'm sure you'll hear some great war stories.

Yea, definitely. I guess the former players are having a special thing down here which made the tickets they had paper essentially. She handed me the letter and the tix. Can't wait!
