Since all of you have managed to write up your rally experiences, I suppose I should chime in with mine. I generally avoid all crowds and don’t go near the National Mall for any large event.

We were in game day Michigan gear and I was surrounded by extremely polite OSU fans (who had just flown in for the rally - literally. They got on at National Airport and were there only for a few hours after the rally). They said: ‘one of the rules was not to be a douche, so we’re not going to say anything!’ LOL. It was actually pretty cool and set the tone for the day.

I think we might have seen you guys if you were in full Michigan gear -- we were a mostly-OSU collective in our little corner of the Mall and although there were remarks, nobody yelled anything either. ;) I was incredibly impressed by how polite everyone was.

We saw lots of Michigan buddies out there, so it might not have been us. But we'll take credit anyway! :)

I am still shocked by how polite everyone was! Who knew a crowd could be like that!

I would have loved to have gone to the Chicago branch of the rally, but had to settle for being there in spirit.

Huffington Post has photos of 300+ signs. I spent lunch reading and laughing.

I'm going to have to do that someday... the signs really were fantastic!
