first U-M home game, Ira Jaffe has
stocked his garage with beer,
booze, soft drinks, paper goods,
coolers, you name it. His laundry
room is loaded with candy, chips.
He's filled the van with serving
bowls, party tents and coffee mak-
ers. He's arranged for the grub he's
going to buy to be ready for him

and wife Brenda to pick up at vari-
ous delis and food stores around
town.
It's the second game of the sea-
son. A home game. Michigan ver-
sus Rice. It's 3:15 a.m. on an
unusually brisk early September
Saturday and Jaffe is waking up.
He didn't work on Friday. Too

much to do. It's an afternoon game
and he's got to finish loading the
van with everything he needs.
Pounds of lox, cream cheese, sliced
tomatoes and onions. Fried chick-
en, corned beef, roast beef,
cheeses, chips, cookies, donuts,
salads, condiments and a popcorn
