Up all night

I'm up all night trying to get my body used to working night shifts starting tomorrow.

My goal: Watch every game from 2004 to present by wolverine historian on youtube.

Question: How awesome is tonight going to be?

Edit (Random Notes):

-- Carlos Brown came in during the 2007 Purdue Game and looked real good. Scored twice as the 3rd string RB coming in for injured Hart/Minor. When he's healthy, that dude burns...

-- 2006 Notre Dame game - one of the most dominating defensive efforts ever. Notre Dame ranked #2 going into that game! I forgot about that...

-- It goes without saying, but Antonio Bass... what could have been. Tragic.

-- Kevin Grady, what the hell happened to you?? You were Beanie Wells before Beanie Wells was Beanie Wells. But turns out you are shorter, fumble a lot and suck more.

-- Most common phrase heard tonight night: "Gutierrez with the hold"

-- I'm sleepy

-- Watch the 2006 Vandy game. Lamar Woodley with 3 straight sacks in the highlights

-- For those that question the effectiveness or wide-spread use of the bubble screen, here's a news flash. We threw a LOT of bubble screens under the pro-style offense. And with the proper person throwing it (Henne) and catching (Breaston) they work very well

-- Oops. got distracted

-- Yes I know no one cares about this post and what I'm watching. It's giving me something to do and keeping me awake

-- Going to end the night with the 2007 Little Brother Game. The catch by Manningham to seal the deal was one for the ages... After watching so many of his highlights, I'd have to say he generally underachieved, but when he was motivated, was second only to Braylon. Just my IMHO. No sugar coat.

-- Good night/morning.

I never realized why people would rewatch old games until I was introduced to MGoVideo. Recently I watched the 04 State game, 06 The Game, and the Capital One bowl game and I found myself cussing and cheering the whole time as if it was happening live. Its crazy how Michigan Football can take over your life.

i watched the Capital One bowl highlights at least 50 times now and every time its simply amazing. watching tebow get his ass kicked over and over, knowing that they won the national championship last year with pretty much the same team. even though the scoreboard doesnt show it, we really did dominate that game.

That's chapter 1, would you like to have chapter 2? You better you son of a bitch, I know the way.

Wow, that little game is very addicting and distracting!

I have the Cap One game on my PC in HD. I've watched it probably 3 or 4 times since the live broadcast. When my girlfriend catches me watching it she thinks I'm an idiot.

I was up watching old games like you , but i was getting pissed on how much Carr would hold back the offense. If RR will keep on the throttle until the game is unWINNABLE by the opposition. I will be satisfied. Carr would score a bunch ad hope for the best. The amazing offense of between the 20's and settle for a field goal is behind us. Ninja football will deliver us from boredom.

I've been watching WHistorian's youtube videos too and I was thinking the same thing with the bubble screens under Carr. There was one year that I think we had Bass, Breaston and Manningham taking reverses and screens. That might have been our fastest WR corps ever.

Bowl games are the best to watch, especially Carr's last game...if Hart doesn't fumble I don't think that game comes down to the last play. Adrian Arrington played the game of his LIFE...and watching our o-line punish those fools makes me think how our 2006 team would've done vs the Chris Leak/Tebow team.

Yeah,

I always thought that had it not been for that damn lie of a helmet to helmet call, we would've NOT embarassed the Big 10, and almost certainly would've won the NC.

In that kind of game, you have to let some borderline shit go. That was borderline, and obviously had major implications on not only the game; but all of college football that year. I will never get over that call. We got hosed, pwnd, and scarred for life (at least I did).

I remember those 3 straight sacks by Woodley in the Vandy game. I was about 15 rows straight back in the end zone where that happened, going nuts. What a boringass game other than that though -- I'm surprised that one didn't put you to sleep.

I remember thinking during the third quarter of that game that we'd probably have a typical ho-hum 8-4 season or something like that, because we weren't looking too great. Obviously I ended up pleasantly surprised.

staying up late, while drunk, watching WHistorians data base of videos! So awesome. Usually, to build my excitement to each game during the year, I'll go back and watch all the highlights of that particular team. Penn State week was great :D

In the first half of the 2006 season, before he suffered the knee injury, he was the best deep threat I've ever seen. He and Henne had perfect timing. They never quite got it back when he returned. In the App State game, in particular, Henne kept overshooting him.

Except for that one miraculous catch that set up that miraculous game-winning field goal that I (and probably everyone else) thought would miraculously allow Michigan to squeak by unscathed. Unfortunately, Appalachian State's special teams had other plans :(
