Nate got us tickets to go see the BYU vs. Michigan football game in Ann Arbor. It was an awesome game. The Michigan fans are absolutely crazy!! Basically the whole downtown was shut down for the game. Cops everywhere directing hundreds and hundreds of pedestrians at busy intersections, tailgating for miles from the stadium with full on generators, TVs, barbecues, and alcohol. These were big time fans! So Nate and I walking up to the stadium in our BYU gear got lots of smirks, funny looks, and laughs. They even had a sign out one of the tailgater's that said "Free shots for Mormons" and they invited us to come on down and take advantage of their offer. It was crazy!! There actually was a large amount of BYU fans. Of course BYU fans cover the country, whereas Michigan fans are concentrated right in Michigan and surrounding areas. So we met lots of BYU fans like us as well as saw a few people we knew from our college days.
Unfortunately, BYU lost. So we got out of there early and as quick as we could before the crowds became unbearable and overwhelming. We hit IKEA on our way home and picked up the rest of the furniture and supplies needed for the new Simplx building. It was a great date trip!
