Right? Nobody is picking Michigan to win. Listening to espn radio on the way to and from work all week, you’d think Michigan was double digit dogs.
September 21st, 2019 at 8:12 AM ^
Up since 5am? Lazy. I’ve been awake since 349am. Give your children a teaspoon of Benadryl at 1130 and you’ll watch in peace.
Me , I going to drink a lot of coffee with a Red Bull chaser.

Boys soccer games this morning. Watch some of the game at noon and then we have a bike and brew starting at 2. I really hope I am in a good mood come 2 o’clock. I am trying really hard to have zero expectations about the game today. So far that’s not working.
September 21st, 2019 at 8:21 AM ^
Keep the kids nice and active up close to noon. Waking up at 5am, if you keep them moving until game time they should crash hard when you put them down for a nap ??
Go Blue!

I saw an article this week about a mother rubbing heroin on her kid's gums. Seems that would do the trick. Super safe too!
September 21st, 2019 at 9:22 AM ^
They used to do that in Europe with unprocessed milk of the poppy, according to my mother and my mother in law. Helped with teething.
Not much different than using orajel, which is made from cocaine.
Heroin is a bit much tho.

Who the fuck drugs their kids to sleep to watch a fucking FB game @ home?
September 21st, 2019 at 8:38 AM ^
They're called fans, Carter
September 21st, 2019 at 8:57 AM ^
Right? Dude, just get a sitter, ask a relative to watch if that is an option, or do what I did - DVR the game, go on complete media blackout and watch the game with your wife when the kids go down for the night.
September 21st, 2019 at 9:56 AM ^
Loooooook at Mr. Judgy

Let he who has never given their kid bit of benadryl so that they could get a good night's rest, cast the first stone.
Literally every parent I know had done this at least once or twice. They'll only admit it when they're drunk though.
Ever see a calm and well behaved kid on an airplane? Benadryl.
September 21st, 2019 at 10:04 AM ^
I don’t even need to be drunk. Sometimes it’s absolutely necessary. People that nitpick how others parent their kids are some of the worst people.
September 21st, 2019 at 8:33 AM ^
My kids are high school/college age so no worries about that for me. The wife and I will be heading to a bar to be determined to watch the game. We live in Lansing and I won't watch it in a place around here because they will have the sound on for the MSU game. Will probably go to Brighton or Ann Arbor where people are more normal and sane
September 21st, 2019 at 8:38 AM ^
My wife knows I’m already cranky and wants me to leave the house. Not feeling optimistic. Might take a nap and see where things stand afterwards. As for the wife, might be time to find a new one!
September 21st, 2019 at 8:42 AM ^
BEAT WISCONSIN!
GO BLUE!
FIRE BEILEIN!
September 21st, 2019 at 8:43 AM ^
It’s so fun when the kids are a bit older. Our 7 year old will play outside all day while we watch tv, eat, and have a bonfire outside. Of course it will be 85 degrees but she loves the fire all day lol. Frankly do I.
September 21st, 2019 at 8:50 AM ^
So...do you?
September 21st, 2019 at 8:46 AM ^
I've got a sick kid at home getting me out of a 2:00 golf outing that I wouldn't have wanted to attend at any time on any day on any planet, let alone this planet on a football Saturday (Love him).
Also I've got a cow tongue that's been waiting in my freezer for weeks to get turned into tacos, so that's happening today, hell or high water.

Supervisor of our local rocket after taking a road trip and beating up on a conference rival. Luckily, I have access to.the wifi at the stadium to watch the Wolverines crash the house party in Madison.
September 21st, 2019 at 9:00 AM ^
My standard fall game day:
Up around 7, coffee and breakfast with the wife and kids while watching sportscenter. Out of the house for much of the day because my kids play travel sports. DVR the game and go on complete media blackout (phones are off, no places with TV).
Should be home by 5, at which time we will watch the game “live” with the added benefit of skipping commercials.
September 21st, 2019 at 9:49 AM ^
It’s refreshing to see you and others put away the phones and social media to actually experience life. Say no to being a cell phone zombie, especially while out with family.
September 21st, 2019 at 9:08 AM ^
College gameday on the tube, then dvr the Michigan game and stay off social media until my son comes home from work so we can watch together. I’ll be starting to watch from about half the game behind. Can’t join any game chat threads but my son and I will be either cheering or sinking further into BPONE.
GO BLUE!!
September 21st, 2019 at 9:43 AM ^
Update- my son got someone to cover at work for the game. That’s my boy! Until he comes to me for gas money. Go Blue!

This is the most confident I been all year. Let me repeat, this is the most confident I been all year. This is a perfect storm for Michigan. Underdog by odds makers, disrespect from media, fan base (including me). Not many people giving them a chance to win. Reading between the lines in interviews, you can tell the players are chippy. All adds up to a Michigan win and return to a justified top 10 rating. Don't care if it is 17-3 at halftime in favor of Wiscy. Michigan will win this game. There will be few surrender cobra memes from this game from the cheese fed fans in red.
September 21st, 2019 at 9:27 AM ^
Well, statistically speaking Michigan is winless for a while as a pregame underdog. The trend has to stop at some point so...the longer the trend the greater chance it has of being snapped. Although this hasn't worked out for us vs Ohio State nor for the Lions!
If there is a game where Michigan has high potential to pleasantly surprise their fans this is it!

Breakfast burrito and black coffee followed by a load of laundry, taking the trash out, running the dishwasher and running to the store for beverages and then it’s time to watch the statement game.
September 21st, 2019 at 9:59 AM ^
Statement time. They're ready and I feel like the offense is going to surprise us today.
September 21st, 2019 at 10:12 AM ^
Bacon. Coffee.
September 21st, 2019 at 11:16 AM ^
My youngest moved out last night.
Empty nest. Gonna drink like I’m in college again except like .... really good liquor and beer
