Ann Arbor

Well, they found showers, at least:

Day 5 - The Big House

We find our way to our designated parking lot in the morning, and park in the middle of 4 other rvs, all of whom are Oregon fans. We tell them of our neutrality, even though we are wearing Michigan t-shirts. They buy it.

Our first move is to scout the area, we find that we are only 50 yrds from a top 10 golf course. We pull out the LL Bean Bocce Balls and challenge midwesterners. Sully, K & I kick ass (East 2 midwest 0). As we are playing we give Joe Mauro a call for pointers. He reads back some of the official ncaa bocce rules. Before we head off to the game we take individual pictures of the tops of our heads to send in as a "whos head is this". We think the pictures are easy giveaways.

[Ed note: pictures available here]

We con a golf cart ride to the stadium (would have been a 1 mile walk). How could they turn down a US vet & his friends. The Big House was not a friendly forum for the home team. The Ducks with QB Dennis Dixon run over the Wolverines for over 600 yds of offense and a final score of 39 to 7 in front of 109,000 fans. We had a great time, and a beautiful day for football. Shower in the morning at the Varsity Tennis Center with the wonderful help of the managing attendents. They were GREAT!
