Dooley         RING OF HONOR         Brothers     

A collection of those men who have distinguished themselves above

the rest at the annual Dooley Brothers alumni tailgate

 The M stands for: me likes me liquor drinks

Jim Mansfield

  Inducted 2002.  Some would criticize his decision to leave the DBX game after only 20 minutes (not game clock time, I mean actual time), but not those voting for the ROH.  Greek's willingness to put aside actually watching the game for the sake of the tailgate did not go unnoticed. 

Like any great performance, Greek left it all on the field in 2002.  After a full day of festivities Jim had nothing left.  Well done man.
   

Dave Dorgan

 Dave showed up at DBX mere hours after returning from Brazil.  No one has ever traveled a greater distance.  His South American tan was out of place on the frozen tundra of the golf course, yet in a strange way he appeared right at home.  Inducted 2002.
   

\ David Rogal

 Sensing the tailgate was winding down, Rogie breaks out two large packs of brats and presents to everyone "the 20 Commandments".  Proudly donned his mustard-soaked  F*** State shirt in front of Mr. Kuehne during Parents Weekend at U of M.
   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scotty Mudbowl

  Of 2001 Beebe Open fame (see Triple Putz).  Dubbed Mudflap in  Vegas by Desert Pines golf hustler.  Moved to Brazil in 2003, but we expect him  back for DB12 in Ann Arbor.
   

 Lew Popoff

 Long overdue induction in 2001.   A stalwart at Dooley Brothers   events.  ELHS football legend.   Bitterman at  DB9.    Redeemed at DBX and DB11.
   

 Jeff Jackson

Studies a frosh tending his grill and notes:  "Check rook, check brat".    Also, Rose Bowl 1998, managed to fit 2 dozen sausages on a grill that was meant for 10.   See it here.    Aficionado.  Provided webmaster will the digital camera that changed the Dooley Brother's tailgate forever.
   

 

David Doyle

 Kalamazoo College football legend.  While you were snoozing, Dave went 24 for 24 lifetime at Winter Agility throughout Okemos High (6 sessions per year - you do the math).   Thrice recognized by the Lansing State Journal as 'Paper Boy of the Year'.   True Lions backer (not a Bears sell-out). 
   

Kelley Kuehne

  Apparently fearing Mr. Seelhoff was brandishing a gun, Kays    wrestles him to the ground.   (There was no gun).   Also, near  perfect attendance at Dooley Brothers (regrettably missed the First Annual).  Bitterman at DB9, redeemed at DBX.  Supplied grill for DB11 and was part of early morning set-up crew.
   

 

Richard Schild

 Supplying homemade pickles.   Supplying Awes and Geegs with winter skull caps.  Aficionado, although did not receive the Aficionado t shirt discount at DB9 despite being a founding member of the A's.
   

 

Kirk Helferich

Throws half-cooked hot dogs at on-coming traffic - creates lane for Kays' Yukon to slip through.   Also, somehow coaxes wife Sarah to give birth to his child early so as to not miss DB9.  Occasionally will don his Kirk Gibson throwback mesh jersey.  Sorely missed at DBX but we expect a strong return in 2003 in East Lansing.  (Update:  DBX11, strong return, nice work as expected.)
   

Brent Grow

 Hot Damn! (with an assist to Shlimmy).   As the photo indicates, generally a happy fellow as he was here after DB9.
   

 

Andrew Rosenstein

  Has made the trip from the East Coast twice.  First man to attend Dooley Brothers without consuming a single beer (2000).  Not at DB9, but likely very bitter about the outcome.  In 2002 attempted (like Fritch) to speed along the birth of his child in order to make it back for DBX, but we can only control so many things.
   

 Michael Zack

  

 Unforgettable pan-grilled quesadillas.  3 on 3 hoops legend.  Goes by 'Z' or Z's'.

 
   

 

Greg Phelps

 Strong attendance record at Dooley Brothers.  Arranged for a tent at DB VII.   Traveled to DB11 from South Carolina.  Was part of DB11 set-up and breakdown crew. 
   

  Brad Lewis

 Donated use of the grill for DB9.  Long time advocate and participant.  Phat Lew.
   

 Kurt Skinner

  Supplied grill and served as chef for several tailgates.   Throws legendary tailgate for Western/Central game.  Phat Skins.
   
 John Donaruma Twice made the trip to Michigan from Boston.   Chowd.   The same JBOD of 1999 Ryder Cup fame.
   

 Doc James

  Pine Cone.  Kentucky nut-juggler (with menthol)
