Today I have a meeting that decides if the product I'm proposing lives or dies. I should be prepping. However, I'm sitting here refreshing MGoBlog and fixated on "Miles to Michigan?" on ESPN.
What's the first step? Admitting you have a problem? Can someone publish a how to not be so crazily addicted to Michigan football in twelve easy steps?

Worse than any drug...
There is no rehab or twelve-step program in the world that can cure sports and/or mgoblog addiction. You might as well just decide to live with it.

Addicted.
I've been on here in the past week more than I have ever before combined. I'm also a frequent visitor to TigerDroppings to see what the word at LSU is. Don't know where else I can go to get information, but this is bad.

I think I'm okay
I still haven't blown a guy in exchange for 50 mgopoints so I'm guessing there is still hope. Brandon better make a decision fast though.

I have a feeling things are going to be slow until the coach is picked and or after Miles meets with Brandon...unless a new candidate is leaked out.

Same position you are
I just sat here and watched the Patrick Peterson / LSU news conference to see if there was anything noteworthy. I also participated in the livechat so that I could gauge LSU fans' reactions.
I have a meeting in an hour where I have to present ideas for improving our social media marketing plan.

He's gone
Announced he's headed to the NFL.
Media was respectful of keeping it focused on Peterson until a reporter asked him where he thought Miles was going to be coaching next year. He said he's not in a position to answer but hopes it's at LSU. It was the last question before they cut off the Q & A.

My kids have taken a back seat to this. I don't even hear their requests anymore. And I'm not going to even talk about work. What's work? Plus, my husband - who is a football fan - thinks I'm crazy. My brother understands, though, because he went to Michigan, too, so he calls me regularly to see if I've heard anything. At least I have him for support.

The low point
The past few months on here have been like a really bad boozey bender. The kind where I'm crashing cars, throwing bricks through pre-schools, praying to the false porcelain god, waking up in a hospital bed with restraints on and hitting on women who are either A) old enough to be my mother, or B) as attractive as left over haggus. But I can't stop now. No way. No how.
I can't stop because when life is sweet on this board, man, life is sweet. 3 days of good news is worth sifting through all the filth. So until you see me on A&E pouring my heart out on a TV show, MGoBlog is my crutch. That's just the way it is.

Can you alcohol poisoning
I spend way too much time following this fiasco. I just want a coach that can win, control the pressers and send Drew Sharp, Rosendouche and Snyder to Bolivian.
I haven't slept well since thursday night. Thursday night all seemed well and JH was a strong lean. Since he accepted the SF job, I have been in semi-panic mode. LM is the best choice available. Hoke seems like a nice guy and probably is a good coach, ut I just can't see him commanding this big ship.
He's too small of a rudder for this boat.
Sign and introduce LM and recruit the hell out of the last two weeks.

I have been caught at work multiple times for being on mgoblog. Now I have the screen minimized to about a quarter of the screen. I also found this feature in my video card at work where I can press down on the scroll wheel and it automatically switches to another application. I have a whole system worked out which screen I use on my dual monitor depending on if my boss is in or not.

We must all be hitting F5 or all be on MGoBlog too much, considering the site is crashing half the time and its still hard to log in at times. Still nothing better than it though........I literally dream about it at night and wake up in the morning needing to see if I missed anything.

I've re-read that "Straight from the old coaching staff!" post about a dozen times in search of hidden clues. Then I re-read Brandon's blog post to reassure myself that the search is on the right track!

A word from a psychologist in traning
All I know is when Michigan gets it new coach I'm "popping bottle in the ice....like a blizzard" whats the 12 step for that?
Edit: I am also a first year Psy.D. student, but we haven't covered 12 step programs yet. Also I am totally obsessed with Michigan football as well. It sounds to me that you are likely suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, Not to be confused with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Diagnostic criteria is as follows:
For compulsions i.e. repeated actions (often resulting from uncontrollable intrusive thoughts) such as constantly pressing the refresh button.
(1) recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress
(2) the thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems
(3) the person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action
(4) the person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind
if these are true to you, consult with a psychologist, I'll be ready in 4 years
