I have decided that I have an unhealthy relationship with Michigan football
It has become apparent that I allow Michigan football to have an unhealthy impact on my well being. I am already thinking about 9/4/2010 and UCONN at home. Hell, I am half scouting them watching the ND/UCONN game. In addition, the way both wins and losses impact my overall everyday life is far too great. I know that I am not alone in this. Especially on this board and I also know that I hope I never change. In fact, I feel sorry for people that wander through life without the privilege of finding something to be truly passionate about. So, fuck my mental health. I have Michigan football to worry about.

My husband told me I was becoming fanatical today. I wondered what was wrong with that?

I question his manhood if you are more fanatical than him. Not that a woman cant be a die hard, but if I had a buddy who had a wife that was a bigger fan than him I would in his ear all the time.

At the age of 2 she would crawl up next to me on Sunday to watch The Bo Show. She is an '06 grad and she is all in. I pity her future husband if he isn't a fan. Last year, she brought "her boys" here from DC since their lives were incomplete without having witnessed a game in The Big House.

Well, right now it's an abusive relationship...
But it will get better...

Mental health is overrated...but it would be nice to have a prescription drug that is designed specifically to counteract the letdown one feels after a Michigan loss. I would buy that shit up. Anyone from Pfizer read this blog? Get on that shit.

I believe that drug is alcohol.

...there never seems to be enough of it though.

UConn doesn't look too bad, do they? I can't decide if I want Captain Front Butt for another year, so I can't decide if ND getting pushed to overtime is good or bad.

Yes, and?

beautiful

not caring as much as you do. Feel bad for those than cannot feel what you do right now, because they cannot feel. There is no doubt in my mind right now that Michigan will be the team that all of us see. Your feeling right now only contributes to what you will feel when the time is right. Remember it, the feeling three years from now will make it all worth it.

My wife just leaves the house when big games are on. "Running errands" is what that's called. Its better that way.

I am already thinking about UCONN as well. I am going to miss watching this team play for the next few months...

I agree. I'm so depressed that I went out and bought some Rum w/ Dr. Pepper and cigarettes. My wife and neighbors think I'm strange but I just can't help it. Maybe there's something wrong with me since I'm taking another Michigan loss to OSU so personal.
Thinking about next year doesn't help. That's 9 months away!!

mental health is over-rated...michigan football isn't.
