Last Thoughts
OK, a couple last thoughts from the Big House.....non-apocalyptic throughts....
First, I have seen a lot of football in person. Seen a number of guys who ended up in the NFL....Daunte Culpepper, Chester Taylor, Ben Rothlisberger, Byron Leftwich, Brad Smith, Justin Gage, LeSean McCoy, and even at that I am sure I am forgetting some. You get the idea.
I have never seen a player with the game changing ability of Denard Robinson. He is amazing. He is one blink of an eye from scoring every time he touches the ball. And, he can throw. And he's a sophomore.
We had a good time at the Big House, beyond the game. If anyone is heading up there, I recommend using the AATA shuttle. We left our car at Weber's, took the bus, were dropped off at the gate, and were driven back to our car. $6 for two people.
Michigan fans were very nice....nothing was thrown, even an insult. They are true college football fans.
The Big House has is also the home of Little Video Boards That You Can't Read.
They are also well prepared with concessions, gate and restrooms. Getting a coke did not require a half hour absence from your seat like other places (ahem, ahem, ours).
It is the largest crowd we ever played in front of. Obviously.
I know that the noise is supposed to be improved by the new luxury structures, but it is still not that loud, given the number of people that are in there.

I've seen several games in the Big House and have seen at least 3 at the Horseshoe. Both big stadiums, both big-time football programs. Two TOTALLY different experiences. I'll see a game at the Big House any day over one in Columbus.
Football in Ann Arbor is the way I envision it should be. Football in Columbus embodies everything I think that's wrong with college football. Amazing the contrast between two of the five winningest programs in college football history.
We were awful yesterday. Michigan is getting better every week too.
