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.

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!

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.
