By 7 Action News TeamWeb produced by Seth MyersNovember 14, 2006
In an email sent to the University of Michigan community Monday night, the school’s Dean of Students, alumni director and student body president urged football fans to be safe as they head to Saturday’s Ohio State game. The email invited students of an official tailgate being put on by the university. The event will be held at the Ohio State University Fawcett Center, near Ohio Stadium, where the game will be played. The university email urges Michigan students to carpool in cars without Michigan license plates. It also offers these safety suggestions:
--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 in the blue.
--Stay low-key; don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself.
--If verbally harrassed by opposing fans, don't take the bait.
--Avoid High Street 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.

That's funny. Sad and little scary, but still funny. We'll be steering clear of campus, too.
