Your Favorite Tailgate Tradition?

Amongst the many hallowed traditions sacred to the BOX house on football Saturdays, the blog readers have voted that "field goal over the street light" is the favorite of all the gameday traditions. If you are a concerned reader, do not fret. I , too, was skeptical of allowing field goals to win over "blacking out before 10:00 a.m.". However, while I myself (Brick) voted for the blackout, I truly believe that others were voting for true "traditions". Let's be honest, at BOX, blacking out is no tradition, it's ritual, everyday routine. Kicking field goals (and even Thunderstruck, Keg Laps, etd.) is exclusive to football Saturdays. In other words, blacking out is expected, but field goal kicking can only happen on the eight greatest days of the year (for you dumbasses, the eight greatest holidays of the year are the football saturdays in Ann Arbor). Therefore, I endorse field goal kicking as the greatest tradition to BOX football Saturdays.

Not only does field goal kicking above the State and Hoover street signs qualify as a true tradition, but it can also be combined with the choice of "blacking out before 10 a.m.", considering that most all field goal kicks are completed before 10 a.m. Personally, I fully endorse blacking out circa 8 or 9 a.m. and then kicking the field goal -- both worlds are pleased.

GO BLUE.
