Anyway we had lots of time to tailgate and wait for the game to take place. Jolene and I started around 2. It was a chilly day, but the sun came out for the tailgating extravaganza. We decided to make the hamburger hash that we had made years back. It is scrambled hamburger and hashbrowns covered with cheese. We also boiled some water for hot chocolate and cider. Herky even stopped by to say hi.
After filling our bellies it was time to bundle up and walk to the stadium. I think I was wearing 3 layers of clothes. I think at one point my feet were sweating.
For this game there was a lady singing the national Anthem. Her name was Jemia Nash, she has done broadway and some acting, I have never heard of her. Anyway the national Anthem is always performed by the band, only one other time it was not. I am kinda superstitous so wasn't to happy about this. She was a good singer, but I am one of those old people who like the song the way it is wrote, don't mess with the song!
The honorary captain was Chuck Long, very fitting for the Michigan game. Larry Station was also at this game, as he was being inducted into a Hall of Fame.
The game got underway. Michigan had a rough start to their season with some close wins, and in my opinion wins that should have been losses, so this game could go to anyone. They have a freshman quarterback.
WE stood the entire game, not very comfortable for someone wearing winter boots. It shouldn't have to be this way, but a Hawkeye fan has to cheer on their team. the game was close, but the hawks came up with the win and moved onto become 6-0 since a long time. GO HAWKS!!!
Then afterwards while enjoying a post game beverage. By the way it was the perfect weather for a beer, the longer the beer sat out the colder it got. Anyway....we were listening to the radio while waiting for Josh and then the car battery went dead, what fun that was. Luckily a happy hawk fan was there to save the day.
