So, earlier in the day, I went to the UofM game and it was a decent day. The Wolverines won. It was an ugly win, but that is a post for another day. My main reason for the post today was in response to several people I saw there...When you are in one place with 109,000 people, you are bound to see something out of the ordinary. Well, I did and what that was was about 6 morbidly obese people climbing up and down the stairs in the BIG HOUSE. I really should just say UP the stairs since they arrived before my boys and I did to our seats right around the middle area of the bowl on one of the end zones. The struggle for these people was just painful to watch. Up 1 stair...rest. Up 1 stair...rest. WHY would anyone put themselves through such a painful experience to then squeeze into a seat in which you are practically on the person's lap as an average sized person tends to be anyway? Why? Why? Why?! Another thing I witnessed was at least 3 elderly people with canes. The obvious pain was in their knees and/or hips. Again...WHY?! You have mobility issues and you subject yourself to an area deep into one of the largest college stadiums in the US and know that you will be paying for it for the rest of the day and even week....Sheesh. Stay home or get to a sports bar and I promise the stress to your heart, vascular system, knees or hips will be lessened. Unbelievable.
This is not a rant against obese or elderly people. It is just an attempt by my simple mind to comprehend why some people select to inflict pain upon themselves for a college football game...

Just stay home. It's safer for you.

I would've stayed home to save money, to not contribute to the waste of resources just to watch a game, and also easy access to a toilet... all in the comfort of your own home.
Uhm... perhaps for the same reasons YOU and your "boys" went to watch the game? And they probably graduated for UofM, unlike you :P
Since when do people graduate "for" a school? Looks like it's time for someone to go back to school.......:p
By the way, this post only applies to people who understand football. I think you are late for a wine and cheese soiree....
I meant to say "from" - but it was 11 at night, in case you didn't notice, and I wasn't going to give a sh!t to be meticulous about my spelling. Happy now?
Yes, you're right, I was late for my wine and cheese soiree. As a matter of fact I was going to bring you some wine that you can't find it at TJ or anywhere here, but now you blew it.
Cry me a friggin' river about it being 11....Is that late or something? You must have been too lazy to log in under your profile at 7:46am also, right?
