A Good Omen? Or a Bad Omen?

Submitted by UMVAFAN on

A frivolous topic: just walked into work. On the TV in the lobby, a woman was singing "You Raise Me Up" on Good Morning America (or one of the other morning talk shows). Not sure what to think of it - a message from a higher being?

anyone else with you when you saw this?  It may be a bad omen for you, but sort of like walking onto an airplane -- its not if its YOUR time to die, its more accurately if its the pilot's time.  I don't see this being an omen for the football team at all.

Poor Rich.  I'm sure hindsight being 20-20 he wishes he could go back and not play that song but rather "Fuck you all you fucking mother fuckers" or "Kiss my ass you sanctimonious pricks" or some other more fitting farewell ditty.

For the record I am going to be rooting SO hard for him tonight against Oregon you just have no idea.  I think he's prolly going to get killed but should he win (and again he most likely wont) but IF he should win - I would bust a nut if during the post game, on field interview with the ESPN reporter he looked straight into the camera and said "Go Blue" as he walked off.

transition to Hoke helped make 11-2 possible.

He might also have screwed Gardner's career by not telling him to run as fast as possible from Hoke's coaching staff. This is the opposite of what Carr did with QB recruit Weinke.

RR had no selfish reasons to want to help us out.

Lloyd, on the other hand . . . .

and people getting fired.

Going forward, can we have only rumors on the board today?

I'm hearing something about John Harbaugh already being signed on as the next head coach with Jim Harbaugh as the QBs Coach/OC and Mr. T as the DC...my sources are really, really solid.  Really.

That is obviously madeup, becuase my sources, which are clearly superior to yours, have told me that our next coach will be KATE UPTON, with our OC being Kiffen -- as in ,his wife, not Lane -- and the staff will include also Lucy Liu, Madonna, and a former Miss America.  So, while the team won't be much to look at, the staff will be.

I keep a spreadsheet with names, dates, and number of times someone posts a frivolous topic on our current situation.  So please, please continue to post snowflakes every time you think of Michigan's potential coaching and AD searches at work.  Other posters may not care...but science does.

Well, I think we can all agree the first Omen movie was definitely the good one of the bunch.  The remake a few years back and Damien: Omen II were pretty OK as well.  Omen III started to really lose me and I think we all know that Omen IV is most certainly the bad Omen.

They are watering down the blog on a daily basis.

Hey OP, my poop was shaped like Jim Harbaugh this morning, wanna hear about it?

I walked into the AA-Saline Meijer 2 days ago to do some basic needs shopping and there sits Desmond Howard signing autographs as part of a Cheeze Its promo.

There were 6 people in line.  I got an autographed picture and got to talk with Dez.  I was really happy that day.

But, I also said to myself on the way home I thought it was a sign that something good (unspecified) was going to happen to Michigan.  That out of the clear blue sky with no intervention or planning I crossed paths with what I consider to be a true Michigan legend still living and got to talk with him for a minute...said to me that good is in the air.
