Best $10 I’ve spent in a while…
...has to be to get on the Michigan Football Season Ticket Waiting List. Sure I could have paid $100 or more to be part of the Victors Club and probably have tickets already, but my gamble may pay off this Thursday! They go on sale to the public on Monday, July 11th... but that may be too late!

PSW: Foiled, but not Destroyed.
Looks like both NY and Chicago trips will have to be delayed. I will be in Florida in July for my nephew's first birthday party and the Chicago trip now conflicts with a wedding. The only way this will truly upset me is if Wrigley Field randomly goes away before I can see it next season.
The new plan is for a Chicago trip in November. If this trip goes according to plan, it would be damn near perfect:
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 way that trip could get any better is if it was the Red Wings instead of the Oilers.
Speaking of November and perfect...
*Wednesday, November 23 (7pm) - Detroit Red Wings vs Calgary Flames (Joe Louis Arena)
Thursday, November 24 (12:30pm) - Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers (Ford Field)
Saturday, November 26 (TBA) - Michigan Wolverines vs Ohio State Buckeyes (Michigan Stadium)
*Saturday, November 26 (7pm) - Detroit Red Wings vs Nashville Predators (Joe Louis Arena)
*depending on the start of the Michigan game, I may be able to go see the Preds instead of the Flames.

Gator Bowl Trip… Emo time.
I don't know if there is much to say other than this:
The rest of the pictures are after the jump, but you'll see a significant drop around the time Michigan started to get owned.

Perfect Sports Weekend: Michigan
Sept 17-21, 2010
Michigan Wolverines vs UMass Minutemen (The Big House) w/ Ian
Detroit Lions vs Philadelphia Eagles (Ford Field) w/ Ian
Detroit Tigers vs Kansas City Royals (Comerica Park) w/ Ian, Aunt Jennifer, Isaac and his buddy Jeff.
This was an amazing trip, for sure. I got to go to the newly renovated Big House and both new Detroit stadiums for the first time. If you want to skip the numerous words and get right to pictures, you can click here and be a dick. I will have to be honest and admit I'm writing this in July 2011... so ya, I may have forgotten some things.

I miss Euchre
I honestly don't know why I started thinking about it this morning, but I suddenly really miss playing Euchre. Sure I could play online, but it's not the same! Some of you reading this may wonder what Euchre even is and I pity you for that. Luckily, I have a little wikipedia action ready for you: here. I'll give you a few moments to read up before you continue reading.
