Hmm. A good feeling this morning?

I got a feeling...and its called  hang over.

Let's hope our boys can get after it today, get up and get loud if you are going to be there.

With 2-3 more defensive stops a game. I'm cool with shootouts, as long as we come out on top.

This week started off bad but is ending good.  I see a victory today capping off the week.  Should be an exciting day watching Denard, hoping for a 3rd 200/200 yard game.  He came so close last week.

I thought last week, no way in hell Michigan loses to PSU and they lost. Today I'm thinking no way in hell Michigan beats Illinois, so maybe that means we'll win? Reverse karma or something like that.

Shook off the hangover this morning and saw that ESPN America is showing the game in the UK. Off to the pub I go to watch Denard school some kids!

I just realized tonight we switch our time, so that means an extra hour to party this weekend after a win!

I feel the same way especially after what happened to us last year at their house.  We have lost to them two times in a row and we aren't losing a third.  It has been a while since we have really dominated an oppenent. I hope this is the game where things start to click.

Right on the same page with you mate.  Last week I could just feel the story line: "walk on QB rises to the occasion and saves the season.....", and the lead-in just looked too good to be true.  It was Halloween-spooky to hear all of the talk that we would be facing an offense that would make our defense look credible and that Royster was MIA, etc.. 

This week feels much more balanced.  Illinois is a team on the rise with a solid defense, but they are still Illinois and we can really beat these guys.  Hopefully we will just line up in a 4-2-5 and play fast physical football without the confusing wrinkles that get everyone out of place. The offense will do their job.

GO BLUE!

Just think..if we could just start giving up 2-3 less TDs per game....we'd be sweet!

reduced to watching the defense through my hands as I cower in fear. I really hate that we just gave up 41 points to one of the worst offenses in the Big Ten. We basically make every team look like the best offense you've ever seen. In spite of all this, I will be cheering our guys on. I still like watching RR's offense shread people to bits. This team is in the top 5 in the nation on O and the bottom of the nation on D... What a clusterfuck of a season again. My wife is sick of the yelling every weekend, and I am to. I will always pull for our guys, it's just been hard to be optimistic these days. Here's to hoping that we can cause a couple turnovers today and swing the momentum our way. Go Blue!!!

This seems like as good a place as any to wish my team (and yours) a great game. I considered not watching because it's just so depressing to see them struggle, but I realized I have to stand by the team. I will be on the couch, cheering my ass off, channeling cheesy motivational posters for positive thoughts. 

Go Blue! Let's do it! 

No matter how the season has gone, every game day I fell like MIchigan is going to win today.  If they are playing well, I think they are going to continue.  If they have been struggling, I think "today, they are going to put it all together and pull off the upset." 

So, yes, I also feel good about the game today.  I really hope I still feel that way around four o'clock.

Enough said.

Watch his press conference and interview from this past week.  He had me pumped for this game since Wednesday.  It's a good day to die gentlemen.

In the end, we do have Denard Robinson and he always gives me hope.

Maybe a noon time game is the ticket. Hopefully Illini will still be asleep with the different time zone and all and we can jump off to a 28 point lead or something.

I can't explain it but I have a really good feeling today.  I hope today is the day the team gets that magical 6th win. 

I can't take the lugubrious mood that has shadowed this board the last few weeks.  Today we will get some elucidation on the direction this team is headed. I for one feel good about this team and am excited for the future.

Go Blue!!!!!!!!!!

Weezy is free....Denard to the HOUSE!!! 200 on the ground 250 in the air...No turnovers...D stands up and makes some huge stops!

GO BLUE!!

I have had a strange feeling since Wednesday that things go our way today and we win. Don't ask me why, all that I know is that today we win.

I took some Pepto Bismol and it went away.

More seriously, I felt good going into the PSU game and we got hammered.  I'm feeling anxious going into the Illinois game, so maybe that's a hopeful sign.

If nothing else, I hope these last three years have reduced the sense of entitlement that so many Michigan fans feel about victories.  They are precious moments to be savored and treasured.  We've gotten pretty blase about it over time.

Looking forward to a great game, and win or lose I'll be proud of my team.

Prediction:  Michigan 38, Illinois 21

Maybe it is becuase there seems to be less pressure on this game, although clearly a win would be very important.  I think the team will be focused and execute better than in recent games.

At the game instead of on my couch in Alabama.I can't help but have good feelingg about today. Go !Blue!

rah rah rah rah michigan michigan. Rah rah rah rah michigan michigan! Go blue!

rah rah rah rah michigan michigan. Rah rah rah rah michigan michigan! Go blue!

So far we've had two kinds of losses:

1. D gets a few stops but O turns it over too much (MSU/Iowa).
2. D gets no stops and O makes no turnovers (PSU)

Can we put the 1st half of 1 and the 2nd half of 2 together? Plzkthxbai.

After reading the title, I got that dumb Black Eye Peas song in my head.  Great, that's going to haunt me for the rest of the day.

Still, the sun is shining here in NY, the weather is cool, and UM is set to qualify for a bowl game.  I'll agree, I'm feeling good.

Call me captain obvious, but we need stops, a few turnovers, ( quiz when was the last time we forced one?) and a balanced o. I think the key though is not falling behind quickly, we need to play with confidence and falling behend just seems to deflate the already low tire that is our d.

I dont think we can do it today, I think we keep it close but 38-31 them, is my prediction...

gettin' it done today.  

GO BLUE

I am glad to see I'm not the only person who woke up feeling good today about this game.

I love how optimistic everyone is, seriously. However, I just want to say that if we do lose today please do not blow up the board after the game. I hope like hell we win and I will be cheering my loudest from the couch in South Dakota, but optimism makes me worry. 

Funny thing is I felt confident before the PSU game. I have a bit of a nauseous feel instead today.

Can you pick me up with your plane for the next game? Atlanta, lets do it

I thought this was going to be about how you had a really good shit this morning.

Here's to a good day and Go Blue!
