to say that the detroit lions
have not played like a top tier team in a long time
is an understatement.
I found this display
in the middle of a big box hardware store
with no explanation
and loved the artistic statement it made.
this still somewhat hopeful
and ever loyal fan
has been waiting quite a long time for a win.
that is strong and that is funny.

first game of the year
and lots of excitement buzzing around town
most everyone embraces it
even the new arrivals on campus
on sorority/frat row
and the car wash
that stays open and works
while also hosting tailgaters
complete with
buses, games, food, and mini bar
now that’s team spirit.

on the night before
the Barcelona – Napoli soccer match
takes place in the stadium
the streets close to cars
and open
only to people
who celebrate
with food and drinks
and especially music
as martha reeves
belts it out
under the stars
for the happy crowd.
—
‘i will always dance in the street.’

after watching
all those gladiators
running around in football uniforms
during the super bowl last night
i was inspired to post this teachable moment.

the end of our last home game
as
michigan beats indiana in our first snow
and
both are cause
for
excessive celebration
in ann arbor

there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. “

who knew that ordering
a new grocery delivery service
would lead to a commercial
and
a visit from
detroit lions’ player, golden tate
when he turned out to be
the surprise delivery guy?
another fun life adventure
for my middle daughter h, and her family.

nothing like enjoying a major instate rivalry game
in an irish bar
with
halloween decorations
costumes
beverages
irish music
good company
excited fans
and
a win!
one is deep and strong
one is light and not
(perhaps an irish sign ?)
go blue!!
ran into these two happy chaps who arrived at the stadium in style.
oh, and there was a pretty good game going on inside, too.
university of michigan beat penn state
go blue!

the university of michigan wolverines
rose to victory in
the university of maryland terrapins
football challenge
put forth by fellow blogger/sportswriter, mark b. –
and even
the 8 hour move-up game time
to head off the hurricane
and an away game location
couldn’t help
those turtles from maryland
who took to their shells
as
the wolverines from ann arbor
showed them what a real storm looked like
with a 28-0 win
and mark was a good sport and gracious enough
to honor his side of the losing bet.
a shot of him in the rain
dressed in the gear of his losing team.
onward!
