Even though we got a little rain early in the morning - it was the perfect day for football.
We met up with our Canadian friends a little over 8 in the morning and got a ride from them down to the stadium (with a short stop for beer and meats). For Simon and Erlend this would be their introduction to the great american tradition of tailgating. In few words it's the american excuse to meet up outside the stadium three hours before kickoff to drink beer, barbeque some hot dogs and burgers and have fun. It creates a great atmosphere before the game and gets people going.
The canadians pulled up into a random guys front lawn, payed him $30 and started setting up a tent and the bbq. Two hot dogs and a burger later we were ready for the game.
Before the game the only discussion around the stadium was how big the margin of victory would be for Michigan - during the game people were a lot more nervous. I doubt many of the readers of this blog will be interested in the dynamics of the game, but it was a close one that Michigan won 42-37 in the end.
A great game of football - and some fun new canadian friends.
