Mel and John — legends
October 1, 2011 - Two absolute legends, Mel and John (miss these dudes so much), hanging in The Cove before Michigan’s 58-0 pasting of the Golden Gophers behind Fitz Toussaint’s 108 yards on just 11 carries. Denard would add a rushing TD and 2 passing TDs on one of those "Denard doing Denard things” days. More pics from the day on the game page here.
October 22, 2005: Dennis poses with his ladies before a hard fought battle at Kinnick ends with Jerome Jackson punching it in for an overtime win. Michigan wins 23-20, ending the Hawkeyes 22 game home win streak. This was a great weekend that started with a layover in the Quad cities, Chinese food eaten on a garbage can, a full tailgate in the parking lot of Alcoholics Anonymous, and the away seats for Michigan in the 5th row where we wreaked havoc on the home crowd with an arrogant amount of trash talking considering the score. Good times. Game page lives here if you want to see the recaps and the rest of the photos.
September 17, 2005: In honor of this weekend’s return of Fry Daddy Frank, here’s a couple of fellas that looked bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at the start of the tailgate, but sometimes you just need a nap before your team unloads on a directional school.
Michigan defeated Eastern Michigan 55-0. Chad Henne had 3 TDs and Max Martin had 117 yards and two touchdowns of his own. Game page lives here. Rest of the photos from the day are below.
Without a great amount of detail regarding the scare that some of us experienced last Saturday (not the one in the stadium), let me just say that Captain Michigan is doing well and will be back at a tailgate soon. Probably needs to challenge someone to leg wrestling to get the blood flowing upon his return.
Elder statesman. UMTailgate Hall of Famer. Legend. We learned yesterday that our wonderful friend John Dogan has passed away at 92 years young. He and his wife Sue graced the tailgate with their presence from the very beginning. He will be missed.
