12 Hours
So many past ills can be cured with a win tomorrow. This game is huge. 2 years of horror. 5 straight losses to OSU. A bowl game is on the line.
I remember the good-ol-days when the OSU game meant the difference between a 7-4 season and an 8-3 season (mid-90's) and that was SOOOOO stressful.
That pales in comparison to this year's game. Bowl... no bowl. 0-6 verse finally beating them. Putting a f'ing Dyke in the Dam of 2 years of hell.
The College Football Gods have punished us for 3 seasons (Yes, 2007 too... pre-season Nat. Champ Dark Horses to 9-4) FIne... your 40 days and 40 nights has proven it's point... we deserve our team back. The College Football Gods give us what we deserve tomorrow....
UM 27 OSU 23 (with the help of 4 OSU turnovers)

If Michigan beats Ohio State today, I think I will cry.
I wish I were kidding.

Me too. Not only that, I will get drunk and then proceed talk so much shit to every OSU fan I know to make up for the last 5 years

I can never sleep the night before The Game. ahhh I will probably cry either way...but I feel really, really good about a win. GO BLUE!

For some reason, I have the same feeling to some extent as you. I feel some weird type of confidence that we could actually pull this out. I'm not sure if I am just being optimistic, but I really think this team will come to play. I could be terribly, terribly wrong, but I could be right. With how our defense has played this year, I'm still going to be shocked if we win. Can't wait till noon tomorrow.

I absolutely go off whenever I hear people argue "this Michigan team just didn't want it enough. They just don't have heart." I've heard it over and over for the past two years and I don't tolerate it. At all. This group of boys has been through so much over the past two years and has worked so hard that I have a hard time invisioning a situation where they don't pull out some trademark, Hail-to-the-victors, forever-part-of-Michigan-History victory, even if at the last minute. No, especially at the last minute. Forcier to Matthews in the last second, just so everything comes full circle.
Here's to hoping I see you guys on the field after rushing it should my gut instinct come true.
PS I still haven't been able to sleep. GO BLUE!

I WILL cry.
And I don't wish I was kidding.

Anything is possible these days boys. Let's just hope the football gods are on our side tomorrow/today (it's early in the morning.. damn).
