Snowflakes, Pre-Game Feelz Edition: how are you feeling about tonight?
In 2015, 2016 and 2018 each day of a big game I felt a combination of excitement, nerves and anticipation. I'm not making any predictions or statements, but this year after Army, before every non-Rutgers/Illinois game I've had the same feelings as 2017 M football: a combo of dread, hope and resignation. Part of me wants to hope that last week was the beginning of an offensive surge and turnaround, but I just can't buy in.
I'm jealous of people that are hopeful and unlike me about the rest of the season. Are there many of you out there? Who's predicting a win tonight?

People don't care. It's another lost season where we'll get smoked by OSU and win absolutely nothing of consequence. This is the norm under Harbaugh and people are sick of it.

the team that runs the ball best and has fewer TO's will win ...because there will be some TO's today in the rain

Wish I were confident in a Michigan win...but I'm not. I'll be watching though!

I can already feel the hate I have for 90% of this site’s live blog posters for 2019 beginning to course through my body.

I'd feel better about the game,the team,and the season ,if we had a better coaching staff.
October 26th, 2019 at 1:44 PM ^
Yeah, wondering if UM will take a time out early because of disorganization.

Excited. It’s Michigan vs. Notre Dame, come on. Sure, Michigan might lose but I think this is very much a coin flip. And fuck all the people bitching about scheduling ND instead of a tomato can. College football is all about rivalries; for me that keeps it from being NFL lite. Even crappy seasons can have those memorable games against a rival. What good would playing western Michigan do? Sure we’d win but you wouldn’t remember it two hours later. This is what makes college football fun.

To quote Al Czervik, “We’re all gonna get laid”!

We got this.
GO BLUE!!

My feeling process is of the multiple personality meaning I think we have the potential to win and breakout, but my bpone brain says we do lots of stupid shit at the wrong time while playing conservative and get beat convincingly. I so want to be wrong, but not much giving me a ton of hope.
The last 12 years has given me plenty of opportunity to get used to getting kicked in the balls so I’m prepared for said kicks.
I also write this while watching OSU dismantle Wisconsin and wonder what it would be like to root for a team like that. Not sure I’ll ever know that feeling.

I had a dream last night that the offense clicked, so cautiously optimistic, I suppose.
October 26th, 2019 at 2:45 PM ^
Our QBs sucks and our coaches are morons, at least it’s not a road game and we might actually have a chance
October 26th, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
I think we win this game by 28 points. Notre Dame is hot garbage, this is the beginning of the return to glory for Michigan.
We win this game and also the next 25.

It'll be nice if they win, I think they can, certainly if they play the way they did for one half at PSU. They've demonstrated they can ball, but that's a pretty small sample size to expect it. My emotional investment is basically at a Switzerland level of neutrality, though. Always be a fan, but I'm pretty numb at this point. Not really worried about another team beating us, wouldn't be surprised if we beat ourselves again.

Every game is soured when you remember we’re facing an 8 year losing streak to OSU.
October 26th, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
I am disappointed that it will be raining. That pass game was fun watching last week. Hopefully we get to see an offensive contest with Michigan lines getting the push on both sides of the ball.

Weather scares me. Also fumbles. And bad play calling- offense and defense. And Shea having happy feet instead of throwing in rhythm. Just too many things have me gun shy here.
However somehow even Brady Hoke was able to beat the Domers, so there is that. ND seems to have bad luck at the Big House.
here’s hoping the team puts it all together under the lights. And to bourbon if they don’t.
Go Blue!
