I was reading about alot of your guys kids already starting to be fans and it reminded me of something that happened a few years ago. It was trick or treat night and I had my son dressed in a Braylon Edwards jersey and I let him wear my Michigan helmet. On the way home he went up to a house and knocked on the door and this middle aged lady answers the door and tells my son shes an Ohio State fan. I kinda looked in the house and sure enough I see some Ohio State stuff on the wall. Then she tells him she's not going to give him any candy because she hates Michigan. I kind of laughed because I thought she was joking but she was serious(what a b****). That just kind of shows you how much class Ohio State fans have. Anyway I enjoy reading eveyones stories.

I know what you mean cwood.  Wow - can't believe someone would do that to a little kid! My niece and her friends roadtripped to the UM/OSU game in Columbus a couple of years ago.  Her roommate at Michigan was actually from Columbus, so they figured they'd go to the game.  Obviously, they were Michigan fans, but this girl had her high school friends there who were OSU fans.  They were walking past some frat houses, and these OSU guys started saying something to the girls in the group about their Michigan jerseys.  All these girls said was "Go Blue!"  and a big guy comes off the porch punching his fist into his hand.  He gets in their faces and tells them if he hears that again, he's going to kill them.  Needless to say, they were pretty shocked, and according to them, this guy was NOT kidding!

Oh well - I don't really want this to turn into an OSU thing...I am having so much fun hearing about how everyone came to root for the Wolverines, but I had to share my story.  I'm sure that many of us on here have those kind of stories to share.

Did that experience force you to have to tell your son about the mentally handicapped?  I'll bet he doesn't trick-or-treat in the trailer park anymore.

The expirence with my son trick or treating didn't bother him at all. We just laughed it off and belive it or not it became the highlight of the night. My son was said she didn't give him any candy because she ate it all. The girl was pretty large.

Hey Poppy Morty - I was wondering when the East coast contingent would get here.  When I went to UM (late '80's early 90's) there were a ton of kids there from Long Island and surrounding areas in the East.  I think I can do a pretty good LI accent now because of it!  I still keep in touch with a lot of my friends from those days - who are mostly back on the East Coast...ahhh, the memories!
