I admit it, I'm a junkie
I need my fix. Why does nobody have anything up about Thursday's spring practice yet? Did press not attend that one?
I might be a complete nutcase, but I want my generic photos of players doing drills and my report that reads, "we were only there for 12 minutes again, but this is what I saw."
IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?!? *twitch*
It might be a boring day at work.

NCAA action starts in under a hour.
That should at least keep you distracted.
Good luck, Blaze. The first step is admitting you have the problem.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:54 AM ^
I'm with you, Blaze. I need my fix.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:31 AM ^
Thanks for stepping forward. I too have the need for immediate football gratification. Although I was too afraid to step up and admit it so my hat is off to you. Hopefully we will get rewarded with more generic pictures and if we are really lucky maybe an actual action shot or two.
Not that kind of action shot...

I have also become more fixiated on all the small details of Michigan football, since they started having troubles back in 2008. I want more information.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:37 AM ^
That may require a little thought. I wonder how many of what we might call 'hardcore fans' have been won over specifically because of the team's troubles. How many people had been 'Michigan Fans' for quite a long time, basking in the glow of perpetual success, and only took a true interest in the specifics of it all when things went wrong?
It's like having a car you like, I suppose. You keep it clean, you enjoy the ride, but you don't really worry about it till the transmission blows out. Then suddenly you become a freak about it. Hmmm...
March 19th, 2010 at 11:56 AM ^
I admit that I was not such a hardcore fan until the troubles started. The troubles have led me to grab onto every piece of good news. The spring game can't come soon enough.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:00 PM ^
I'll be honest and say I wasn't a Michigan fan until I enrolled in '02. I came around and broke away from my ND loving family. I'll concur though, even in college I didn't do much following to the level I do now. I'm on Mgoblog so much that my girlfriend makes fun of me about it.
That being said, I think MGoBlog and the rise of blog popularity has led me further into the "Jesus, is it September yet?" camp. I guess once Michigan starts winning again, just maybe, I'll be able to scour the internets less.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:35 PM ^
just wait till you're married. It ceases to be "girlfriend makes fun of me" and turns into "wife bitches at me all the time" about mgoblog.
How many times has my wife asked if my PhD was in mgoblog? ummm, yeah like a 1000.
just one of the millions of differences between the two.
I guess once Michigan starts winning again, just maybe, I'll be able to scour the internets less.
I find that it's usually the opposite - when we lose I try not to think as much about the program, but when we win I start jonesing like crazy for any info I can find.
I've learned more about football in the last two years by trying to figure out what our players AREN'T doing right than I had previously in my entire life.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
a guy could really become addicted to this thread.
EDIT: Really, no takers? Figured you guys would love to inject something into this.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:18 PM ^

March 19th, 2010 at 12:18 PM ^
I'm sure I could come up with some puns to smoke you.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:21 PM ^
I laughed so hard, I just snorted.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:24 PM ^
If I snort right now, my throat feels like acid.
this thread has gotten Psily.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:25 PM ^
smack talk.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:26 PM ^
to this one. Everybody ready to get wet?
March 19th, 2010 at 12:34 PM ^
the main line of the thread. But that's cool.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
I feel like hitting myself in the head with a blunt object. This time of year can be such a drag.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:39 PM ^
Who do you think will be the heroin?
March 19th, 2010 at 12:43 PM ^
those women's games can really pack them in these days.
(That's weak, but at least I resisted the temptation to make a, "do you think anyone will get a doobie-doobie?" pun.
... crap.)
March 19th, 2010 at 12:54 PM ^
sometimes we fire up at different times.
It's cashed.
I am not all that high on any of the ladies this year.
I'd hit it.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:37 AM ^
Suddenly, I don't feel quite so alone.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:40 AM ^
a little less than 100 times this summer, I'll consider it a step forward.
Wow...that would be a big step forward. Strengh to you in these trying times.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
Rest easy my friends, here's a small tidbit: http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/fbl-spring-game-2010.ht…
It's not much but it's something. I hope there's more after tomorrow's practice since it'll be the first in full pads.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
but where's the highlight video. Why are practice notes "to come". WHY AREN'T THEY THERE NOW?!?
March 19th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
Good things come to those who wait.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:53 AM ^
At least you're not Tyrone Biggums.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:02 PM ^
in a pipe and smoke them, I so totally would.
Do you think those little rubber pellets from the field turf have a smooth flavor?
March 19th, 2010 at 12:26 PM ^
I think I started becoming a junkie right around the time Lloyd left. It began as curiosity about the program, and snowballed due to all the outside criticism. I spend so much time reading as much as I can so I can explain to people why we're not becoming irrelevant.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:47 PM ^
Agreed, that's when I discovered the blog. My brother heard somewhere that there was a blog that was indepth on all M football. I started reading daily during the coaching search, of which then morphed into recruiting (of which I never followed before). I'm now fully spiralling out of control in my thirst for the daily minutiae of the program. I feel its beyond our grasp now that we are replying to posts about player weight changes and David Brandon quotes. Help...
March 19th, 2010 at 12:28 PM ^
Are you considering any of several 12-step programs? Personally, I wouldn't. Just keep believing that you can stop any time you want.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:30 PM ^
This addiction is ready to take us all higher, baby!
March 19th, 2010 at 12:52 PM ^
I am not ready to quit...those who stay will be champions.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:57 PM ^
Dude, I am so with you on this. I have watched each of the videos put out from Central Propaganda at least two or three times each. I need my fix.
March 19th, 2010 at 12:59 PM ^
What is this, the WLA?
Shhhh...careful what you say. "They" have people everywhere, watching, listening.
How much for just one rib?
