Yesterday Jackson got some tickets to an advance screening of Michigan vs. Ohio State the rivalry. It is a documentary on the rivalry made by HBO. So we went out to eat and then went to the Michigan theater, which is an absolutely beautiful theater it is one of the old fashioned theaters with an organ in the front and a stage that they use for plays. We got in a huge line and went in where we got a free book on Michigan's tradition. It was a really fun experience, I have to say I had no idea it was quite as intense as it is, Ohio has a song that they sing that says, "we don't give a damn about the whole state of Michigan." ( sorry for the swear word but that one is actually quite tame compared to some of the other things we heard ) We really enjoyed the movie we laughed a lot. The crowd was fun too, they booed some things ( and a lady who wore an Ohio State jersey ) they all stood up and sang the fight song, gave a standing ovation to Bo Schembechlers wife ( he was a coach here ). We also decided that we may need to get some blue jackets, we really stuck out last night in our red jackets, and not necessarily in a good way! After the movie Jackson was so pumped that he decided he wants to go to the game instead of selling our tickets!Thursday, November 8, 2007
