My Mom has never seen the culture of the U of M Football Games, in Ann Arbor.
I thought the Saturday she was with me, after Thanksgiving, would be the perfect (of all games, this was was unique) game-culture to see.
Ohio State University and University of Michigan were beating heads for a victory and it was a huge event.
Mom and I started our Saturday with a good coffee. We mad sure we were well dressed for the cold,windy and damp weather.

It really didn't matter to Mom and me which team won the game. There was a high level of energy everywhere. Many times I would have mom take my arm and we would stick very close to each other. We saw a few shouting matches about which team was the greatest of all the universe. We saw many empty red, plastic cups lying discarded.

I've never really gone "Out" among the fans during a big game. It was an experience for me, too. I hear the sounds, the bands, the circulating planes, the cheering spectators, but this was unique.
