Maybe the best football weekend anyone has ever had happened this past weekend with the arrival of the Willers/Duffy clan for the Wisconsin game. Many may refer to the game as the best Michigan come-back ever, while others may say it was the best home Michigan game, but for us, it had nothing to do with football that made it the best football weekend ever.Upon the arrival of Dad, Deed, Ben, Kate, Matt, Ryan, Christina and Ashley on Friday night, we started by eating a very scrumptious meal at the local Bennigans, where we all talked about each other's flights, travels and expectations for the weekend. Justin, my friend pictured above, accompanied us to dinner as well. After the dinner we all journeyed back to my apartment where we were holding a very nice social get-together with about 50-60 of our closest friends in our back parking lot. The night proved to be very entertaining for everyone involved.
Saturday morning, game day, Dad, Deed and Ben woke up very early to reserve a great location on the U of M golf course for our tailgating. My friends Justin, Becca, Lacy, Vence, Cappo, Derrick and I arrived a tad late since we had been up pretty late the night before. We arrived around 1130 am, about 4 hours before kick-off, we played a game called "cornhole" or "bags", and we also enjoyed the great hamburgers that Dad grilled up for us. Then around 320 we all made our pilgrimage to the stadium, in which we witnessed the worst three quarters of Michigan football, after which we left. It was around the time we got back to the truck when Michigan started to make the comeback of a lifetime, oops! Ironically, Mom called us as Michigan turned the game around and had a good laugh that she was the only one actually watching the game.
After the game we all made our way back to my apartment where we had some delicious Domino's pizza. Following the feast, all of us, plus a handful of my friends, began having another little party in our parking lot. With the inspiring dance moves of Ryan Duffy a huge dance party erupted! Everyone partook in the dancing, yes even Dad busted a move! The dancing actually took on a life of its own, culminating in Derrick's need to show off his moves on top of the railing pictured below.
His performance to the hit song "Beat it" by Michael Jackson had almost all of us in tears from laughing so hard!Ok, that's it so far. When I get more photos of the family tailgate/party I will up them with a little more explanation.
