Ahhhh, for those old men wishing they were still young, the Former Dooley's stands as a tribute forever more.

Pre-game munchies of Brats and Beer in the rain. From L to R: Bruce, Michelle, Jeff, Ryan, John and Kevin in front.

Bruce getting ready for the game, MSU vs. EMU.

Ryan and John once again discussing the contribution of women to their lives. Hi Erin and Angie, just kidding!

Look, Ma! I can spell!

Yes, Spartan starts with an "S." I jest in good fun to band geeks everywhere. They did a great job.

At least it wasn't hot and steamy this year. Actually, this was great football weather. It was announced that 69,000 people attended.

Bruce and I picked up this Batman TB in Ohio, so we thought to take him to the game before setting him free again.

MSU won 52-20 over EMU so we were pretty excited. Most people left before the 4th Quarter was done, but we stuck it out.

From L to R: Ryan, John, Bruce and Kevin. Keeping dry and warm watching the game. You'll have to ask Bruce about the site he had in front of him. Blue thongs are not for everyone.

John decides to join us for breakfast the next morning.

And this is how Bruce and I finished up our trip...a flat tire. We spent the next three hours trying to find a tire and then getting it installed. What fun!! Remind me to not buy a car with 215/50R17s again. No one carries them!! This tire was only a week old. Grrr...
