The ENTIRE coaching staff and assistants invested their precious time attempting to prepare us wanna-be college athletes for a game. We had direct interactions with the guys we see on TV; it was surreal. The event started with picking up your gear (jersey with name and number), autographed football, and other Michigan football swag. And then we had the first team lunch, which included Brady Hoke, Greg Mattison, Al Borges, the position coaches, and numerous great assistants. At the various meals I had the privilege of sitting next to Al Borges, Greg Mattison, Fred Jackson, Mike Hart, and accomplished alumni. Hanging around throughout the event were notable people such as Dave Brandon, Lloyd Carr, Gary Moeller, the legendary Jon Falk, Jim Brandstatter, and some former players. And that was just the kick off! After lunch we headed to Schembechler Hall to hear from the coaches, go over the play book, and tour the facilities. Just like the players, we were moved around town in buses, and had the actual pre-game meals. Dinner was overlooking the field in Michigan Stadium in the concourse where Brady Hoke gave his first talk to the team, the team, the team. The day wrapped up with bed checks, and hot chocolate with cookies. Day two started with a 6 AM wake up knock on the door. After another meal with the who's who in Michigan football we headed to the practice fields for position training, and our first scrimmage. After lunch we reviewed the films of our practice efforts; Coach Hoke said some of us won't be getting a scholarship. And then it was time for the big event. Jon Falk greeted us as we entered the locker room at Michigan Stadium where we found personalized lockers with our jersey hanging. There were some teary eyes in that room, followed by nervous energy. We huddled at the tunnel with our fans cheering us, then took the field jumping up to touch a Michigan banner followed by the coaches. Just like on a real football Saturday. After warm ups we scrimmaged for about hour. My wife took a lot of photos and videos, including my interception! As if things weren't awesome enough, after the scrimmage we were introduced individually over the public address system with our pictures on the giant scoreboards. The event wrapped up with a team photo, and a final thank you to the coaches and the event coordinators. After spending four years with this incredible coaching staff a student-athlete's life will be enhanced in ways too valuable to measure. The coaches know football, are intense, and very entertaining. Everyone involved with this event was amazing, and true blue. The cost of the MMFE is not inexpensive, but it is priceless!

Don't bowl here -- seriously…read more This place has been nothing but disappointment: 1. Constant lane malfunctions that ruin the flow of the game. 2. Hardly any bowling balls to choose from, and the ones they have are chipped and worn out. 3. They gave away my reserved lane without so much as a courtesy call to inform me or my group. And the worst part? The staff shows zero concern for customer issues. Save yourself the frustration and go literally anywhere else.

While my bowling prowess seems to have mysteriously vanished since my youth (thanks, son, for going easy on me?), we had a blast. Four rounds of bowling and an hour of pool later, we emerged victorious (and slightly sore). This bowling alley offered great prices and wasn't at all expensive, which is always a win for dads. The ball selection, however, wasn't the most extensive. But hey, maybe that's a good thing - less time picking out the perfect ball, more time for strikes (or gutter balls in my case). The interior had a classic vibe that I actually enjoyed. It added to the whole nostalgic experience, like stepping into a time capsule of good times and questionable fashion choices (acid wash, anyone?).

There was an outdoor, and it looked like an indoor playing field as well We played outdoors on a beautiful turf field. The area is surrounded by a forest, which makes it a very attractive place.

What do you get when you combine really coordinated group of women in close quarters with a worthy rival faction (who are certainly strong enough for a man but made for a woman) and a sense of electricity in the air that only comes about when two foes square off? If shivs are involved, you get Fox's Greatest Lady Prison Yard Fights V.3 - 'This time it's purse-onal'. If skates are involved, you get the family-friendly good time that is an Ann Arbor Derby Dimes bout. Whether you are going to A2D2 with your kids to discourage traditional misogynistic gender roles or you are going there with some friends to put some pep in your step before heading out on the town for the evening. It's always a good call. When playing in Buhr Park they usually have a cart vendor (frequently one of Mark's Carts) that offers at least one veggie item, so you can nosh on a tempeh burger while you take in the battle royal. Sides of lady musk and bruised gluteus maximus are always complimentary. What would make it better? Beer. Once they figure out how to sell beer tickets and trade those tickets for beer, I'll be in the arms of the angels.
