Happy Thanksgiving

By MGoPietrowski — November 24th, 2011 at 3:18 AM — 27 comments
Well it's 2 something am in old Ann Arbortown. Where I'm from it's 1 and all my old high school classmates and I are deciding on what kind of headache we want tomorrow morning.

I thought I'd wish all of you a happy thanksgiving. We have a monumental game ahead of us this Saturday. This is the most pumped ive ever felt for a sporting event ever.

I just want to say that I am thankful for the university of Michigan. Not just in athletics, but what it stands for, worldwide. I am thankful for friends and family, and thankful for the MGOBLOG community, and this great ideal that we serve, day in and day out, in victory and defeat.

I'm counting my blessings, ladies and gentlemen. And I wouldn't mind adding one more...

I'm thankful for my son, who turns the big T-W-O today. He'll be wearing his shoelace jersey and (because of laziness on my part and unwillingness to sit still on his) is getting pretty close to having a Lloyd Brady haircut. I'm thankful for my wife, who despite being from Mexico and having no interest in sports whatsoever, listens to me talk about sports and try to explain to her why Rich Rod actually isn't a bad coach. When they announced he got hired at Zona, she said, "Great. Now he can ruin someone else's football team." I'm thankful for my family and friends, and I'm thankful that we live in a place where we can spend hours a day watching sports and just as much time coming on MGoBlog and discussing it, and knowing to a great degree that is possible because some of our friends and neighbors place themselves in harms way to protect that. I am thankful for those friends and neighbors and pray that someday, all of them will get to spend Thanksgiving with the ones that they love. Happy Thanksgiving MGoBrothers!

Thankful for this blog, love the live blog during the game, it's like being in a room full of people all making great comments. Thankful for a coach that gets it, Mattison, Borges, Kovacs!! Oh, and for some reason, Drew Dileo, he always shows up at just the right time.

I know I don't know any of you, other than what you post, and most of you are probably a decade younger than me (or more), but this community has kept me connected to my alma mater and has reminded me of the four years spent going to games, celebrating wins (by drinking) and consoling losses (by drinking).

It's a simple bond, but one we all share through any generation.  I am thankful for such a tradition-rich history, and for a legacy of excellence.

Happy Thanksgiving to my Michigan family, and Go Blue!

I'm thankful for my family, my wife and two fine sons who are Michigan grads, and our friends, who stay with us on Thanksgiving.   We are getting up at the wee hours of the morning on Saturday to drive up to Ann Arbor to see Michigan kick some Ohio butt.  That, my friends, will be the icing on the cake.  I want to again feel the way we felt at UTL, when none of us wanted to leave. It is time.
