<p>Thanks for passing on Alexandre. Really enjoyed it. I love where John Bacon mentioned one of the first things Bo said to the players when he came on as coach - “I’ll treat you all the same, like dogs”. </p>
<p>And the joke by the old timer at the end “How do you get an Ohio grad off your porch? Pay him for the pizza.”</p>
<p>My favorite joke; “We had a student flunk out of Michigan, and then he enrolled at Ohio State, and he raised the class standing at both universities when he did that!”</p>
<p>Why is that a joke?</p>
<p>where is the joke?</p>
<p>Tough crowd! ;)</p>
<p>well michigan men have high standards.</p>
<p>Just need to apply basic mathematical average concepts to get that one ;)</p>
<p>I have a question though. I understand that football (I absolutely disagree with the name) is an integral part of life at Michigan. As an international student, I had very little exposure to “Football” hence have yet to become an avid follower. However, I definitely want to watch a few games to get a feel of what it’s all about. Received an e-mail from Michigan offering season tickets at US$ 295 but I doubt I’ll want season tickets. It’s still possible for me to get single game tickets right? and how much do they cost?</p>
<p>Hidevik, being a lifelong soccer superfreak (I am also international), I once shared your apprehension for the word. Trust me, do yourself a favor and get season tickets. Once you go to a couple of games, you will become addicted to Michigan Football. This sentiment is shared by most international students who attend Michigan.</p>
<p>Hidevik,</p>
<p>To get single game tickets at a student rate, you would need to buy them off a student who is not planning to attend a particular game. Usually those are only attainable at a reasonable price (student ticket price or less) for the lesser desireable games. </p>
<p>To get a real feel for what makes Michigan home games awesome, you’ll want to attend the big games. This year Notre Dame - week 2 and Ohio (final week) are the big games. Trust me, you’ll want to be at those games just for the fun of the entire experience (114,000 fans going insane; 20,000 students side by side with you). So, buy season tickets if you still can. Even if you don’t want to attend all the games, you’ll be able to sell the tickets. If you want to sell a Notre Dame or Ohio ticket, you’ll get big $.</p>
<p>Don’t know if it’s still this way, but back in my day some students would buy season tickets, sell a couple of high-demand tickets, and see the rest of the home games almost for free.</p>
<p>Others did just the opposite: get the season tickets, sell the tickets to some or all of the lower-demand games, and keep the tickets for the big games. They figured that was cheaper than trying to buy single tickets to the big games on the secondary market.</p>
<p>Totally agree that Notre Dame and Ohio State are the big home games this year, worth seeing just for the sheer spectacle even if you’re not into the sport.</p>

<p>:D</p>
<p>^^^I hate that sign and its implications. Since the Columbus Dispatch has printed that message for years, it’s like Michigan is lowering it’s standards to be more like Ohio. Then again if it works to beat tOSU in football, I’m all for it!</p>
