Happy New Year Everybody
Mates,
Of course we're all bummed about the outcome tonight, but it has been a tremendous football year beating ohio for the second consecutive time, and being B10 Champs also for the second consecutive time. We have a great nucleus of kids, team chemistry, character, and coaching - we'll be fine.
Far more important than football though is the big stuff in life: family, health, jobs, etc. The football game is in the rear-view mirror, but 2023 is an hour away. Here's to all you maize and blue faithful having a great 2023. May your joys be plentiful, may your challenges be met and surmounted, and may your Michigan fandom bring you far more joy than disappointment this coming year.
It's great - to be - a Michigan Wolverine!
Blessings,
XM

At least we have basketball season to cheer us up...
Oh wait...

Good one Puti & Happy New year!
December 31st, 2022 at 11:03 PM ^
Yes, thanks for putting it all in perspective --and a beautiful perspective at that. Happy New Year to you as well!
<tipping the hat>

Thank you…for perspective, being a UM fan post Carr until 2020 sucked. To be at a point and trajectory that we are disappointed losing a semifinal playoff game is light years ahead of where we were.
This one stings badly, but grateful the program is at the place it currently is in. The last two OSU wins were as satisfying a sporting victory I’ve had in my lifetime.

Happy new year!!

Honestly. Best thing you can do to start the new year is better yourself. Get sober, in shape, healthy, build a business, or further your career. More than that spend more time with your family, it’s worth more than money. Get a membership at a golf course, tennis club, or a shooting range. There’s so much to do. You live in the greatest country on earth. Take advantage of that. God bless.

Exactly. Stop drinking, dammit!

Happy, healthy New Year to all MgoBloggers !

It sucks because it felt like this was the year for a championship for the first time I can remember. Sure the team should be good next year, but making a four team playoff is hard.
December 31st, 2022 at 11:23 PM ^
And the national champions of 2022… Ohio buckeyes.
December 31st, 2022 at 11:24 PM ^
Wow… what a giant kick in the dick.
December 31st, 2022 at 11:23 PM ^
Happy New Year XM and friends. So much to celebrate with this team, and hopefully so many other things to celebrate with your family and friends. It was a fun ride with you, my fellow bloggers. Go blue and I hope you have a wonderful 2023. I am grateful to have this community, and grateful to have my wife and kids.
December 31st, 2022 at 11:24 PM ^
Thanks for the perspective, XM. All the blessings and happiness to you and yours in 2023! Forever Go Blue.

Could be...happier. Such is life.
Cherish the stuff that matters folks.

A very happy and healthy New Year to you too, amigo. Life and good family are very sweet blessings, may you and yours enjoy same for very many years to come!
And the same to everyone else who has enjoyed and appreciated our 13-1, B1G Champs Wolverines.

Thank you for the lovely wishes. Happy New Year to you and all of the Michigan Faithful.

2023 Starts off strong with OSU losing!
January 1st, 2023 at 12:02 AM ^
Ohio State loses...Happy New Year!
January 1st, 2023 at 12:02 AM ^
OSU misses FG for the win - starts 2023 with epic loss on national stage.
Happy new year everyone.
January 1st, 2023 at 12:08 AM ^
2023 is already dogshit.
January 1st, 2023 at 12:10 AM ^
could have been worse if OSU made that kick
January 1st, 2023 at 12:20 AM ^
Actually found myself rooting for OSU. That’s what living in the heart of $EC country (Atlanta) will do to you. I’m going to take a shower.
January 1st, 2023 at 12:10 AM ^
Buckeyes lose!
Best Michigan football season in forever
Leaving all the shit behind, moving onward in 2023. Beef jerky time!

Appreciate you trying to be cheery.
My weird circumstances today have sort of contributed to my dour feelings. Had a good but relatively brief family trip to Michigan, and my drive finished during the first half, which I was listening to. As we were loading into the house, things were changing rapidly, and it brought me very uncomfortable shades of the 07 Oregon game, when I was loading a moving truck and every time I came back up to my apartment for another load the game state would be worse.
...But I *have* a house to come home to, and it's warm and my family is healthy and safely down to bed in it. No small thing: one of the family members we visited with returned to their house this week to find their pipes burst and their basement flooded. I have friends getting figuratively ambushed by close associates as soon as they return from family trips.
We have it pretty good, really.
I'll feel fine in the morning.

SRJK, you will shrug last night's game off very quickly. with your family and avocation, your life is full of substantive and very important matters. football is great fun, we're all U of M fans, but it fades into the background with the busy-ness of life. preach it, brother!
January 1st, 2023 at 12:40 AM ^
Thanks, XM.
Happy New Year all. So fun to be in this community year in year out.
To a great 2023 and beyond. Cheers.

Same here XM. Michigan athletics is a totally addictive and fun distraction to things that really matter. Just like that stupid DR Pepper commercial I saw several times tonight. Happy New Year to you and your family!
