Letter to Michigan fans

[WhoDeyBengals]

Letter sent to Michigan Season Ticket holders & students last night via email:

We know that it can be uncomfortable being in an opposing team's environment, especially when the stakes are so high. We would like to offer a few suggestions in order to help you stay safe and have a positive experience this weekend:
*Try carpooling to the game; if possible, drive a car with non-Michigan license plates.
*Keep your Michigan gear to a minimum, or wait until you are inside the stadium to display it.
*Stay with a group.
*Know and obey the laws regarding alcohol use.
*If you are of legal age to drink, use alcohol in moderation.
*Stay low-key; don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself.
*If verbally harrassed by opposing fans, don't take the bait.
*Avoid High Street & Lane Avenue in Columbus.
If at any time you feel unsafe, you should call 9-1-1 for assistance. U-M campus police also will be available in Columbus to support our fans. You may call them with non-emergency concerns at (734) 216-9159.
We look forward to a tremendous game on Saturday. Let's help the Wolverines win with spirit and class. Go Blue!
Sue Eklund, Associate Vice President and Dean of Students
Steve Grafton, President, Alumni Association Nicole Stallings, MSA President

Those who have been to C-bus know it's true - those bucknuts are NUTS.

Well, its going to be the biggest college football game since USC Texas a year ago. Not suprised...especially because its Ohio State

[xX-Bronco-Xx]

We didn't need one of those for the ND vs USC game because Hoosier people are very nice

LOL, maybe because most of them are Catholics ...we know how to act... GO IRISH!

But thats pretty funny that they have to send out that letter to those fans, is it really that bad? this must be a pretty good rivalry eh?... I've heard nasty things about the split between Oklahoma and Texas fans, I don't think this is any different...

What a weekend! 1:30 Ohio State/Michigan, 6:00 USC/Cal... this is what college football is all about...

Yea......same thing going on here in the Columbus area.........tv commercials asking students and fans to behave........the pres. of the university saying there is a zero tolerance policy

A couple years ago there were riots in c-bus after osu beat Meatchicken.

Kind of gives the area a bad name....and is a shame......because it is usually a few "bad" apples etc.

I work in retail in the Columbus area....and it is amazing the amount of beer that will be sold for this game

here's hoping for a good clean celebration after an osu victory!!!

Dude, win or lose, it will not be pretty in Columbus after this game. Nail down all your valuables and steer clear of the downtown area because that place will be a war zone after the game.

**** will be burned and knuckleheads will be in jail.

Your expectations are a little too high, IMO.

Here's hoping no one gets killed after the game!!!!
