2008 Michigan Deluge

Rehearsal: Merely Damp

For those with corrective lenses: forget it.

It had, in fact, been raining on and off since, oh, 1997. The road to Michigan Stadium may have dried by now.

The people in the ponchos were unhappy at the BEGINNING of the game. It was going to get worse. (Please note the Big Ten Flags: they weighed approximately 1100 pounds at this point)

Dr. Thompson came prepared. Purple gloves, purple earmuffs. Still sodden.

Mr. Farris' suit looks like mine and Pete Friedmann's did. My dry cleaner looked at me like I was possibly a murderer.

During a brief break in the weather, Skeptical Drumline is skeptical.

Nope. The weather remains biblical.

Halftime! Without warmers, because NUMB is tough.

Besides, the warmers: they do nothing.

But at the end of the day, it's worth it.
