Sigh...I miss Football Saturdays in Ann Arbor

Sigh. I miss Football Saturdays in Ann Arbor.

It’s a little hard to follow college football when I’m eating lunch at the same time my friends back home are heading to bed. So, I recently signed up to receive event listings from the University of Michigan Alumni Association’s Hong Kong club. (Hong Kong is about 45 minutes away from Shenzhen). I got this one the other day:

Too bad I have to work Sunday morning. Otherwise, I’d go there in a heartbeat to watch a game that kicks off at midnight CST.
