Eve of 2013 Michigan Football Season Unbridled Excitement Thread
With all the tremendous hype videos recently posted and just 1 day left until the start of Team 134's first game, I cannot find another suitable outlet for my excitement, anticipation, etc. other than this post. I literally cannot stop the adrenaline - my foot is taping uncontrolably, heart is racing (maybe it's the coffee). How am I ever going to get anything done at work today... Anyone else feeling this way? What are you most excited about?
So here's to another amazing Michigan Football season! Let's Go Blue!
This thread may be stupid, so mods feel free to delete.

Really looking forward to tomorrow, gotta get this season started on the right foot.

What channels are we looking at for the broadcast? BTN.com is showing the BTN Alt 2? That seems insane to me. I'm not even sure I have two BTN alt channels. I'll be an unhappy camper if my telemavision does not show the game.

Last night's game with Ole Miss and Treadwell. He's a beast.

I feel. Words just aren't enough.

my wife has a baby shower planned for her tomorrow*, I thought i was in the clear to watch the entire game!! .....last night i was informed sometime around 4pm(!!!!!) I am going to need to come help load gifts.
going to be at my mother-in-law's house, which is w/out DVR.......
*the baby is due during the 2nd bye week. I got that all figured out! ...
August 30th, 2013 at 11:33 AM ^
I just assumed noon game. I was so excited as my son naps from like 12:30-2:30, so I would be in the clear.
Now, he's going to be well rested for a 3:30 kick-off. NOOOOO!
(He's only 2, so doesn't yet want to watch with me).

gifts have expirations on them if not picked up by a certain time?
They can wait.
Get your priorities straight.
This is Michigan! (Fergodsakes)
August 30th, 2013 at 11:46 AM ^
I know I know....
they're renting a room at the downtown library, which means that I'm gonna have to get up from the game and go get stuff.
[luckily iHeart Radio will hook me up!]
August 30th, 2013 at 2:25 PM ^
Fair enough, there is an expiration involved, lol.
Congrats on the baby!
(At least it's not a conference game)
August 30th, 2013 at 11:47 AM ^
The double whammy. Missing football for a baby shower. Assert yourself, man. Before it is too late...
August 30th, 2013 at 11:49 AM ^
are you speaking from experience?
August 30th, 2013 at 12:00 PM ^
The path you seek is long and winding, flanked by dangers on either side. But good men have ascended it before you. All I'm gonna say...
August 30th, 2013 at 1:03 PM ^
It's already too late.....
when someone says; "Before it's too late.....
August 30th, 2013 at 4:03 PM ^
My kid decided to show up the day the shower was supposed to be. They don't always come and go as planned.
(However, she did manage to dodge the whole football season by doing it).
August 30th, 2013 at 11:37 AM ^
It happens every time. The week of the first game, I have a crushing fear and anxiety. But then a day or two before the game I just wake up and am ready.
I've been working all of offseason and waiting for tomorrow. I finally finished my football book of information I've been working on for 6 years. I am so starved for Michigan Football-
August 30th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
Holy crap bro
August 30th, 2013 at 11:42 AM ^
*puts on mod hat*
This is not a bad thread at all. I dare say that, for nearly all of us, it is a needed thread because, well, tomorrow at 3:30 PM.
About 27 hours and some change, folks. We do not have long to wait now...
August 30th, 2013 at 11:49 AM ^
contain my excitement!!!
August 30th, 2013 at 11:49 AM ^
I bet Hoke is secretly (or maybe not secretly) excited to get this thing going.
I have to believe this is the most talented team he has ever had as a head coach. He wants to return Michigan back to the glory days of tough, tough football. I believe tomorrow's game will be a statement game to show everyone that.
Even though there is alot of youth and inexperience all around on this year's team, it will not be an excuse for bad play. The underclassmen will be held to the same expectations as seniors.
I think it's time, I hoping it's time that this football program starts rolling. No more "one year away" talk, I don't even think Brady would agree with that. The expectations should be high and they should be now.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:57 AM ^
August 30th, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
but nothing sums up my feelings more than this...
August 30th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
I have to believe that we're still "one year away"; the football program is already rolling, and really it got off to an incredible start with the Sugar Bowl win, but with the cupboard mostly empty post-RR and the amount of incredibly talented (albeit young) depth, I think the real dividends will start to be paid next year. Of course, I've been wrong before.
I'm predicting 9 or 10 wins, just because of the sheer amount of questions on defense. But here's to unmitigated hope and irrational confidence!!!!

for the start of another season of michigan football... not so pumped that i will only be able to see bits and pieces of the game since i'll be working up in the suites.. also found out that we have new big boss this year so my trick of the pervious 3 years of having the live feed from the field on all of my suites TVs and then standing outside one the doors to watch might not work for me so much this year... luckily i dvr all of the games and then watch them sunday morning...
August 30th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
This literally made me laugh aloud.
August 30th, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
I'm so excited to watch the recording* of the first 2013 Michigan game.
*FUCK...FOOTBALL...SEASON...WEDDINGS...
August 30th, 2013 at 3:55 PM ^
YES. This.
August 30th, 2013 at 12:43 PM ^
I had a dream last night that Gibbons missed a PAT right before half, making it a Chips 7-6 lead heading into the half.
I am obsessed and need help.
(If interested... the TD was a 10 yard Gardner to Funchess)

August 30th, 2013 at 2:30 PM ^
Literally 200 yards from the stadium is almost painful right now. This day has been drrrraaaaggggging along.
