OT: So... that was fun. Now what will you do?
Oh boy... less than 48 hours removed from winning the 2024 CFP Championship and I'm still in a daze. Like many other MGoSickos out there, I haven't read or watched this much sports coverage in a long time. Each highlight, commentary, and article celebrating the team (or the colorful schadenfreude) has been pure maize & blue smack into the veins. The picture below says it all...
Now that Michigan has won the whole damn thing, what are your plans considering the following:
- MBB has no signs of life or direction, so no help there.
- Outside of the B1G network, I don't think we get a lot of the Michigan hockey games televised and even they have reverted back to normalcy.
- Many of us will turn to the Detroit Lions hosting their first playoff game since the inception of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and Friends debuting on NBC. They're on the right track but something tells me they don't have the horses to make it very far.
Excluding the NFL for a few Saturdays and Sundays this month, you'll now have your weekends back.
So... Now what are you going to do? Projects? Travel? Sort out that box of DVDs in the basement you should really just throw away but can't because you think to yourself, "What if I want to watch the bonus commentary footage of The Royal Tenenbaums"?
Cheers to the best upcoming OT season (possibly ever?) on MGoBlog!

I for one hope to be better at my job. Anyone else feeling similarly?
January 10th, 2024 at 6:36 PM ^
Does being a team player count? Our third shift Pharmacist took another job so I volunteered to do 2 weeks of 7 on, 7 off while we hire a new one. Anyone interested? 7 days on, 7 days off get paid 80 hrs for 70 hrs. Owosso Memorial Healthcare Systems.
January 10th, 2024 at 10:20 PM ^
i mean i am
unless you have to have, like, experience or qualifications
January 10th, 2024 at 4:02 PM ^
Quit my job and sit in front of an endless loop of the OSU, Alabama and Washington games until I develop bedsores.
January 10th, 2024 at 5:26 PM ^
I'll take your job if that's cool with you.
Honestly though, I am looking for a job if anyone's hiring for anything related to marketing, branding, etc. And I'd gladly personally pay a referral bonus :)
January 11th, 2024 at 7:01 AM ^
What’s your email?
January 10th, 2024 at 4:02 PM ^
Hockey, I guess? If they can stop blowing 3rd period leads, there’s enough talent to make another deep run. Also, hoping for a playoff run from the Loins
January 10th, 2024 at 5:50 PM ^
May the Loins be fruitful!
January 10th, 2024 at 6:40 PM ^
I tell you what! Ford Field is going to be rockin' come Sunday night! Everybody with a Stafford jersey needs to put 'Williams' on it with duct tape, lol.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:03 PM ^
Close my eyes, remember a perfect season and laugh like a mad man.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
Just yank my crank per usual.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:14 PM ^
Do we call that a "Natty Lite" around here now? I'll show myself out.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
OT season, here we come. I have a few burning questions about expressing canine anal glands that need to be answered.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:13 PM ^
And what a glorious OT season it's going to be ... a CHAMPIONSHIP OT season.
January 10th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
Isn’t that what we did to the Huskies Monday night? Their anal glands have never been so pristine.
January 10th, 2024 at 6:38 PM ^
Our cat had to have that done! I sure hope us humans don't go those...
January 10th, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
I'm recovering from ankle surgery so in the next month or so I hope to get back out to hiking and camping
January 10th, 2024 at 4:06 PM ^
Watched the game again last night and probably again this weekend … then maybe the hairless nut victories and the glorious Rose Bowl win !!!
January 10th, 2024 at 4:07 PM ^
Bracing myself for whatever drama or controversy engulfs the basketball program next (like, oh I don't know, Phil Martelli randomly re-assuming the head coaching duties on a one-off basis with no sensible explanation given)?
NOTE: Edited to insert 'sensible'.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
Wasn’t the explanation ‘the game is in philly’? Not saying it’s a *good* explanation, but that’s what i was told
January 10th, 2024 at 4:12 PM ^
He coached on Saturday because the game was in Philadelphia his home. They talked about it pregame.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:07 PM ^
Wait impatiently for the MGOBLOG 3-year recap book
January 10th, 2024 at 4:08 PM ^
Already working on rebuilding non-M fan relationships I've been ignoring for the last three months.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:08 PM ^
I'll try to read a bit more.
From a sports perspective - I'll just enjoy this until the season opener next - which, I believe, is Fresno State on August 31st.
January 10th, 2024 at 5:23 PM ^
Trap game.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:08 PM ^
I reckon I'll make my way to the parade if ever they post the details about it...
January 10th, 2024 at 4:12 PM ^
Ummm, I've got enough football games to enjoy rewatching (again) to keep me occupied for some time. ....Don't you?
January 10th, 2024 at 4:12 PM ^
Watch the season over game by game, one each Saturday...
January 10th, 2024 at 4:14 PM ^
I'll likely catch up on quite a bit of reading, not to mention various little projects since we have been revamping the house.
Also, I shall say "hello" to a lot of non-sports people in my life that can't understand why I am this invested in a football team, even when they just did what they have done.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:14 PM ^
Get my fat ass in the gym
January 10th, 2024 at 5:24 PM ^
with EUTM
January 10th, 2024 at 4:19 PM ^
I finally rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe
January 10th, 2024 at 4:27 PM ^
I'm going to let the win sink in over time. Enjoy sports talk radio for a long time as Michigan is THE best team in the country and it doesn't get old hearing it. And I'll listen to SEC fans bitch about how they didn't have anyone that could beat Michigan this year.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:28 PM ^
Trying to figure out a replacement for the hours of weekly MGoPodcast content on my training runs. I need more audiobooks to place on hold.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:37 PM ^
Between now and Aug 30, I'm going to re-watch every game from 2021-2023 in order (even the losses) and relive the greatest run in UM football history. Go Blue!
January 10th, 2024 at 4:44 PM ^

January 10th, 2024 at 4:45 PM ^
Time for Michigan Hockey to wake up.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:51 PM ^
Flying to Florida on Saturday, weather permitting. Not looking good.... possible bomb cyclone hitting the area. Oh well, wait and see what happens.
Got to run the snowblower yesterday and today... yippee 🤪
January 10th, 2024 at 4:53 PM ^
Well MLB does have "signs of life." Pitchers and catchers should report for spring training around the middle of February, with games beginning later in the month --- then openiing day won't be far off. The beginning of a new season when "hope springs eternal."
As an Atlanta Braves fan (Yes, I still have a warm spot for the Tigers, whom I followed religiously in the Al Kaline era) I see that a strengthened bullpen, another LH starter (Chris Sale from the Red Sox) and an everday left-fielder (Jarred Kelenic from the Mariners) will improve an already loaded lineup. Assuming season-long health, there shouldn't be another playoff swoon to the Phillies this year --- Go Braves!
January 10th, 2024 at 4:54 PM ^
Lions and Red Wings for now.
Given it’s the start of winter … sit around and play video games? Stare at the snow? Wait for the UFL to start?
don’t rightly know and don’t rightly care because we’re national champions boys and girls
January 10th, 2024 at 4:57 PM ^
work, ski and root for the Lions
Ski season literally hit as the Championship was won ...... (extremely late)
January 10th, 2024 at 5:09 PM ^
Bask...and looking forward to retiring this summer. Then WTF will I do with myself?
January 10th, 2024 at 5:33 PM ^
Congrats MMB 82. I retired end of last summer. It’s been great so far.
January 10th, 2024 at 5:25 PM ^
We didn’t get back home in AZ until 930 last night. Weather delays, airport crowding, too many private jets taking off…yesterday sucked but was totally worth it.
All the Michigan fans were great, I have never hugged and high fived so many random people in my life. Our hotel bar was packed with Michigan fans both nights and we were up way later than normal each of them.
Having said that, I recorded the pregame show and the game. Sometime in the next few days, I am going to recreate the day from my couch.
What an incredible experience.
GO BLUE!!!
January 10th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
My plan was to rewatch the OSU, Rose Bowl and NC game on repeat.
However, I just found out a couple hours ago that I DVR'd the wrong channel for the Rose Bowl game. Ended up recording ESPN 2 with Mcafee's loud ass mouth as the commentary. I'm pissed!
Hopefully, I can catch a replay of the real game (not the 60 minute version) and record that.
January 10th, 2024 at 5:31 PM ^
Snow now falling in Michigan, which means more treadmill running, which means rewatching glorious moments of our national championship season.
January 10th, 2024 at 5:37 PM ^
Spend a lot less time here, that's for sure.
