Matt’s first bill
So I don’t know about you but I’d like there to be football. This weekend I caught myself watching NFL preseason games, as if the Lions murderating Jets offensive linemen could be considered such. It’s only going to get worse from here. By Saturday you’ll be watching YouTube videos from Maryland games. And Rutgers. RUTGERS!

| Your host. Also seriously if you’re buying or refinancing reach out to him. Every time I recommend him I get thanked for doing so. |
Figure by a week from Thursday you’ll be going insane, and driving those around you the same. If they kick you out of the house, it’s cool, because every year Matt Demorest of HomeSure Lending gets us all together to raise a glass and jibber “football” at each other instead of at loved ones and pets.
This year we’re doing it on Thursday out of respect for those traveling to Dallas on Friday night. Matt buys the beer, MGoBlog provides the entertainment, and your family gets to have an evening of peace without watching you pacing.
WHEN: 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM EDT on Thursday, August 31st
WHERE: 327 E. Hoover, Ann Arbor. It’s the first thing on Hoover after the train tracks after Elbel Field. You remember walking by it from your college days. It was formerly Purchase Radio Supply:
Now it’s an amazing indoor tailgate space owned by the same guy who built the MGoPatio. It doesn’t look like much yet but it’s got it where it counts. See that garage door on the far right? That leads to a renovated indoor space that looks kinda like how Leopold’s used to.
WHAT WE DOING THERE? A few things. We’ll start with the first MGoRadio show of the year, broadcasting the episode live in front of y’all. At the end we’ll have a Q&A session so this is your chance to be on the MGoPodcast and ask that question that’s been bugging you about this year. Then there may be another trivia session like last year after if I have time to write the questions next week.
WHAT WE HAVING? Matt’s getting us a couple of kegs of good stuff (probably from Wolverine State Brewing if they’re down again) and we’re looking at having a food truck there (bring cash for that).
HISTORY OF THIS: This is our third Football Eve, and it was all Matt’s idea because we were talking each other into insanity before the first Harbaugh game. That was a Wednesday night because Utah was a Thursday and we still overflowed Ashley’s. Last year we moved it to Wolverine Brewing and still there wasn’t enough seating.
NEXT EVENT PREVIEW: Friday night before Homecoming (Rutgers), same place, for charity, bring a Playstation controller.
