First Time To The Big House

I've been pretty busy here lately, so I'm trying to catch up on what I've been up to the past few weeks. A few weekends ago, I met Tillie in Ann Arbor with plans to see the Wolverines in the Big House. Talk about a great football stadium. We saw them play Miami of Ohio, my home team now, alongside 110,000 other fans. It's an experience like no other, when the students start the wave. I can't believe a group of drunk students can start such an amazing wave. On the way to the game we passed a few of the "frat" parties on campus. My god, things are a little different than Iowa State. Each Fraternity had about 150 students in the front yard slip n sliding, taking beer bongs from the third floor, a doing some pretty crazy things. I looked like a deer in headlights walking past these Fraternities. Ann Arbor is a great place, and has so much to offer. I compare it to Iowa City, but better. It's a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. No offense to those Hawkeyes out there. I was driving down one of the main roads and I stopped at a stoplight next to a coffee shop with people outside. This guy yelled out "Iowa Huh", so my quick wit put these words in my mouth, "Coffee Huh". I gave him the peace sign and took off. Good stuff in Ann Arbor.
