Good News for Tailgates; Bad News for Livers

Via mgoblog.com, I was alerted to the announcement of game time starts for the first two games of the upcoming Michigan football season:

Western Michigan @ Michigan: 3:30!
Notre Dame @ Michigan: 3:30!

Good god. Two box houses next door to eachother + first tailgate of the year + 3:30 p.m. start time... I smell a disaster a-brewing. Notre Dame certainly won't be any prettier. As has been mentioned in this blog, our 5:30 a.m. start time for tailgates usually is a recipe for blackout - for noon start times. Accordingly, 3:30 games tend to get extra silly.

As of today, only 72 summer days until the first game (Western). The first tailgate involving BOX and BOX Senior house will be here before we know it. I wish you all luck in waiting for that glorious day.

Additionally, I shall be returning to BOX probably Sunday or Monday, and I expect to blackout with anyone willing to journey into the darkness with me then. Soon thereafter, Al, after at least 5 run-ins with the law for underage drinking (I've lost count), will be turning the legal age of drinking next week. On top of this, the 4th of July awaits us next Saturday - and BOX's true love of America makes this day one of the greatest of the year for our extremely pro-American abode. Let the blackout's begin.
