What are you doing tomorrow from a.m - 8pm to waste away the time until kickoff?
I will be at Disney on ice from 11:30am - 2:30pm ct. (before anyone asks, yes, I have two young daughters aged 5 and 2).
Although I will miss the early games, at least this will prohibit me from drinking before 3pm.
Last year's Penn State game taught me that nervous-drinking from 11am - 7pm will cause me to not remember the 4th quarter when I wake up the next morning (which was a good thing with last year's Penn State game).
What are your plans for tomorrow to attempt to fill the void of time before 8pm?

Officiating Seminar. OTOH it's a Level 1 Seminar and the last time I had to sit through one of those I was about thirteen. So probably trying desperately not to check my phone all day. And at five the binge drinking commences to make up for the other lost hours.

Walking to the Farmer's Market in the early AM, walking back home for Gameday, beer cracked at 10:00am, watching Sparty trip and fall against FAU at 12:00pm, turning on Alabama/PSU at 3:30pm, then heading to the bar in GR to get a seat and watch USC/UGA at 4:30pm, then camp out there until the game.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:42 PM ^
Driving to Madison, Wisconsin to have my car worked on.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
The beer will be flowing at my house in the greater Madison region. Stop by if you have alternative transportation (to find my house, just listen closely for "The Victors" repeatedly playing very loudly on the west side of town).
September 9th, 2011 at 1:45 PM ^
September 9th, 2011 at 2:25 PM ^
If you're not opposed to theft, I hear they put up some nice HD video boards in the stadium. You might want to bring a couple friends and some heavy equipment, though.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:44 PM ^
a couple times
September 9th, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
September 9th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
Waking up at some point in the morning.
going to Rynearson Stadium to take pictures of the game and hope that the Eagles can pull one off against another 1AA team.
Going up to my mom's to peform an exorcism on her computer and do her laundry.
Watch the game.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
The best of all worlds. I will be destroyed by the time I catch my flight home on Sunday but this is what its all about.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:47 PM ^
As with every year on this weekend, my beer club's annual picnic with ribs and chili and lots of craft beer. Except this time I can watch the game when I get home instead of pissing off my wife by sneaking away to watch some of it on TVs that some other Michigan fans would inevitably bring.
September 9th, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
Mowing my wife's lawn. Mowing my neighbor's lawn.
September 9th, 2011 at 10:09 PM ^
That reminds me, I have to mow this weekend. Guess it'll be a way to kill a bit of the wait.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:48 PM ^
Wondering A2, stuffing hot dogs, playing corn hole, sleeping, playing catch, get in at least one fight with my wife.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:49 PM ^
Goddamn medical school.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:12 PM ^
You may want to consider posting a Diary entry about those illnesses/inflictions to help your fellow MGoMembers that get a little too "rowdy" after the big win tomorrow night.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
Methinks you should stop pretending like you are going to study tomorrow, study tonight and sunday, and then tailgate on saturday.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:51 PM ^
Is Gameday 9 a.m. to Noon?
Also, FYI Tigers/Twins is on national TV at 4 pm. Actually, come to think of it, maybe we'll go down to the game. Keeps yourself occupied and we should be home (suburban Detroit) well before kickoff.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:51 PM ^

Not thorough enough.
September 9th, 2011 at 9:36 PM ^

10am: College Gameday
12pm-1am: FOOTBAW!!!!!!
September 9th, 2011 at 2:14 PM ^
1. 8am CT: Sit on Sofa. Turn on Gameday
2. Football
3. Midnight CT: Turn off Gameday Final, get off of sofa, go to sleep.
September 9th, 2011 at 4:38 PM ^
Why not just sleep on the sofa.
September 9th, 2011 at 7:21 PM ^
You just described my whole day (and night).
September 9th, 2011 at 1:52 PM ^
Work out in the morning, do laundry, grab some lunch and then drink and watch football.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:57 PM ^
You forgot to mention taking in a suntan somewhere in there
September 9th, 2011 at 2:00 PM ^
Fair. God what a stupid show. Although I enjoy watching the "Fantasy Reality TV" league recaps on Grantland...
Also Jersey is less of a hellhole than Ohio.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:52 PM ^
I'll be counting my lucky stars that I only have to kill time until 5:00.
The key will be staying up way past my bed time tonight so I can sleep in until 10-11 Saturday morning. Then grab some grub, procure beer, and settle in to flip back and forth between Cal/Colorado and Tennessee/Cinci (should be mildly entertaining since I have cash on both games) while working up a healthy buzz to help the time fly.
So really I'll only have to work hard to kill about an hour of my precious but oh so finite lifespan. And I should be nice and hammered by then. Sounds good to me.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:53 PM ^
our 2-0 mighty mite team at 12:30pm to another victory!
Then pick up some grub to grill for the game.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:53 PM ^
Unfortunately I will be on a boat all day. I will end up missing the enitre game because the boat gets back to the landing at about 9PM. I missed the game last year for the exact same reason. The only thing that can make up for not watching the game is to catch my limit on Blue Fin Tuna.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
I have a minor league football game at 7pm. I'll have to keep my phone on the sidelines and DVR the game. I'll probably get up and watch college game day, watch whatever football game is on at noon and then head to my game. I'll probably be chewing the my nails till they bleed till I hear of the outcome of the game. I wont be nervous for my game though! lol
September 9th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
Mrs. Route66 and I will be selling our childrens clothes and toys in the am then I will be heading over to watch my Hope Flying Dutchmen play Wiscconsin Lutheran at 1:30. Follow that up with some football on TV and then gametime! I should mow the lawn sometime in there. Ahh, the life of a 30-something in suburban America.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
The second half of that game should seem like a lifetime if Hope only plays mediocre... But its a great place to watch a soccer game!
September 9th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
Tip: Give the woman you love (or in some cases your wives) a solid and meaningful toss first thing in the morning. This relieves your tension and puts a smile on her face that will hopefully last most of the day to where she'll at least leave you alone when you go to the padded room to watch the game (although, my wife will be right in there next to me, screaming louder).
September 9th, 2011 at 2:11 PM ^
I'm pretty sure my wife wouldn't appreciate being tossed, the floor is pretty hard, and she already gets annoyed when I pick her up because she's always worried my back will flare up again.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:17 PM ^
I'm now cleaning beer off my laptop, thank you for that!
September 9th, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
My wife is always at the guy next doors house screaming louder during the Michigan games? I always wonder what they're doing over there?
September 9th, 2011 at 2:00 PM ^
Make sure there is enough beer in the fridge.
Work on deer blind.
Make sure there is more than enough beer in the house.
Make noise with power tools out in garage so the wife thinks I'm being useful.
Make sure there is way more than enough beer in the house.
That is all.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:38 PM ^
September 9th, 2011 at 2:01 PM ^
I will be at a girls HS volleyball tournament, that may last from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm and I ain't jokin'. These things never end. Was at the same tournament last year and missed a good deal of the game. At least this year M has the common decency to play a night game this year to accommodate my schedule.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:03 PM ^
I have to cover a groundhog festival in Punksutawney, Pennsylvania. After I wrap that up, I should be able to beat the blizzard and make it back in time for the game.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:04 PM ^
I'm planning a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:21 PM ^
ugh.......shopping (for things I don't care about) sends shivers down my spine.
September 9th, 2011 at 2:04 PM ^
Clean house, change lightswitch, pretend to fix toilet to pacify wife, paint door in garage, buy beer, etc. Supposed to drive across town to watch game but that may inhibit drinking plans. Must reconsider
September 9th, 2011 at 2:11 PM ^
I will be deciding whether to go in for OT or watch the game... I know what I want to do but I also know what I should do.... Decisions decisions... Watch first night game ever at Michigan stadium or get some extra money for the wedding....
