Dooley Brothers Dozen

Spartan surge makes Saturday showdown special

SALINE, MICHIGAN OCTOBER 24, 2004

Oh my, look at this one. What looked to be a sure win for Michigan after the first couple weeks of the season, now looks like quite a match-up. The MSU Spartans are coming off a dominating performance against a tough Minnesota team, and the Wolverines come home after one of the biggest road wins since 2000. More importantly, Saturday marks the 12th installment of the Dooley Brothers tailgate party, and the sixth held in Ann Arbor. Kick-off for the game is 3:30pm EDT and the weather reports are mixed, but it looks to be much warmer than DB 10 2 years ago.

Own a 1st Annual Tee?

Are you in possession of a Dooley Brothers First Annual T-Shirt? Please email me and let me know. It is believed that 48 of the DB1 shirts were produced, but right now we know of only a handful that are left. We'd like to get an inventory and begin measures to protect this national treasure.
