Hello there, 2012
I am going to try and type up a 2011 recap, a NYE trip review and take a look at some potential PSW destinations for the upcoming year.

Perfect Sports Weekend IV: Illinois
November 12-14, 2011
Michigan Wolverines at Illinois Fighting Illini (Memorial Stadium)
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (Soldier Field)
Chicago Blackhawks vs Edmonton Oilers (United Center)
This was definitely the weekend of changing schedules. The Michigan/Illinois game should have been at 12noon, but wasn't. The Lions/Bears game was originally set for 12noon and then changed to a 3:15pm start. We ended up only seeing the 3rd period of the Blackhawks/Oilers game, but I did get greeted with a "Detroit Sucks" chant by our section. Also, I got to see the Jordan statue!

Homecoming Weekend 2011
I have had the tickets for the Michigan's Homecoming game against Purdue for some time. What I didn't know is that it would be a true homecoming to Michigan for me.
I drove up early Friday morning with my dad. We made it to Michigan in good time and drove all around Monroe to see different places we lived and visited. We were able to see the houses I remember the most (on Goutz Rd and on Dixie Hwy), in addition to a house I have heard many things about (Steffas Rd). The house on Steffas was the one my mom and dad lived at when I was born. It was where I spent my first couple years in this world. The nostalgia continued as we ate lunch at Detroit Beach Pizzeria. You know it's a good day when you can get some mostaccioli casserole and pizza.
Our weekend had just begun... there were games to attend! Details after the jump.

PSW IV is locked and loaded
Everything is taken care of for the fourth edition of this amazing series of trips:
Saturday, November 12 (TBA) - Illinois Fighting Illini vs Michigan Wolverines (Memorial Stadium)
Sunday, November 13 (12pm) - Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions (Soldier Field)
Sunday, November 13 (6pm) - Chicago Blackhawks vs Edmonton Oilers (United Center)
The only lingering question is what time we leave for Champaign. If the game is at 11am, we may just drive up Friday night and get a crappy hotel somewhere close (it's a 5 hour drive). We may also decide to be mountain men and drive up morning of (not a fan of this idea). If the game is at 2:30pm, we most definitely are driving up Saturday morning. After the game, we will return our rental car in Chicago and check in our hotel. Sunday will be packed with two games before we fly back to BNA early on Monday morning. I love 1.5 hour flights! Check out our seat locations after the jump.

Boys Will Be Girls…
...and I will post the links to their videos. Seriously, if you haven't seen the Harvard Sailing Team and their sketch comedy then you have obviously hidden my updates on Facebook. I mean, every guy should have a working knowledge of these videos.
Here is a link to their first video in the series and the other two are after the jump:
