Game 10

Going for the Trifecta! (A little Stone Cold Humor)

Hard to believe that the Boilermakers are going for three straight over the Wolverines this weekend isn’t it? I’m not sure which team that is more of a commentary on but it is an interesting factoid to say the least. Last weekend was an excellent half of football, too bad it was followed by a three interception nightmare in the second half.

There is some scientific research supporting the idea that a head injury can cause color blindness. I am operating under the assumption that a sack late in the first half caused Robinson to suddenly become red/green color blind which meant he was unable to determine who he was throwing the ball to in the second half! Provided that Robinson is only Red/Green color blind we should be in good shape this weekend when the maize and blue come to town.

In all seriousness the boys competed last weekend and showed just enough offense to give me a glimmer of hope as Michigan has one of the worst defenses in recent college football history. This defense is Indiana bad if you know what I mean?

It will be another relatively cool fall weekend with a slight chance of rain. We will set up the tents this weekend and will have heating elements available to keep things toasty at the tailgate. We will be hosting a lot of people including several first timers making this the most interesting tailgate in the world.

We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, hopefully towards the front of the lot just like last year. The W lot is across from the Slater Hill and the Stone Cold Tailgating Club spot is marked by the gold square. Click on the map to the right for a larger view.

For those of you parking in the IM Gold Lot it is only a 5 minute walk to the W lot, just think of us being on the way to the stadium! We have the large flagpole that extends with our custom tailgate flag, also shown on the right side of the blog. We’re driving an ambulance, so we should be pretty easy to find!

My parents will be at the house after 5 on Friday. Right now the plan is to relax at the house and prep for Saturday.

You will receive a separate e-mail with the directions and lodging information for the weekend.

Saturday November 6, 2010
7:45 a.m. Meet at the house
8:00 a.m. Arrive W lot/Set up Tailgate
11:15 a.m. Depart for Stadium
12:00 p.m. Kick Off

Eric and his parents will be meeting at the house to ride in together to ensure that we have two adjacent spots. If anyone else would like to meet at the house they are welcome to but it is not necessary. We have room to transport up to 7 people from the house in the ambulance and Element.

Post game the plan will be to meet back at the house and make pizza (yes, we had leftover crusts from last weekend) and then head out from there to campus.
