OT: Late Night Open Thread
With the season approaching, there won't be any room for late-night open thread chatter, so I thought I'd open one last one.
What's on your mind? What are you looking forward to seeing most this year? What are you doing to keep your sanity for the one last week until kickoff?
As always, gifs, pics, and videos are welcome to help pass the night away.
I'll start us off:

Mh thoughts tonight are that I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start.
<br>
August 27th, 2011 at 4:55 AM ^
my thought exactly. +1 to you!
August 27th, 2011 at 11:09 AM ^
Are a good sport.
August 27th, 2011 at 2:52 AM ^
Excited to watch Lions vs Patriots even if it's just preseason tonight. Also looking forward to watching UNLV @ Wisconsin & Lions @ Bills on Thursday. This how I will get through the week.
August 27th, 2011 at 2:56 AM ^
I thought the BSU-Georgia game was Thursday until I looked at the schedule. I guess UNLV-Wisconsin it is.
August 27th, 2011 at 3:12 AM ^
After I get back from Ann Arbor next Saturday I will probably fire up the grill and then watch either Boise State vs Georgia or LSU vs Oregon. ARRGHHHHHH man I can't wait!!!
August 27th, 2011 at 2:55 AM ^
Been a long time since I have posted here. hope everyone has been doing well over the past year or so. I am really looking foward to UM utilizing the QB run as an option and the read option. Both plays are exciting and beautiful to watch. I am going to miss seeing those plays get fazed out over the next several years as morris takes up the reigns of QB.
August 27th, 2011 at 2:58 AM ^
Didn't think this deserved its own thread but ND seems to be just a year too late with their safety program.
August 27th, 2011 at 4:27 AM ^
Funny stuff!!!! Laughed my ass off, possibly because I'm drunk at 4:30, hopefully just because its funny.
August 27th, 2011 at 4:55 AM ^
Pure gold right here.
August 27th, 2011 at 9:43 AM ^
Worth a try!
August 27th, 2011 at 11:37 AM ^
Thats awesome!
August 27th, 2011 at 3:15 AM ^
Just wanted to let everyone know that I updated th unofficial two deep a couple minutes ago.
I didn't do anything major, but I updated Special Teams based on what Hoke said about the kickers, punters, and returners.
I also moved T. Gordon into a starting safety spot based on what Hoke said today. Although I am still unclear about how the personel will work when we are in base defense vs. nickel vs. dime.
Anyways, I'm sure some things will change as soon as tomorrow, so someone can fix it if I made any mistakes.
August 27th, 2011 at 3:20 AM ^
Excitement over Denard! In denial over the D. Anxiety over App. St. in 2014. Come on already! 7 days!
August 27th, 2011 at 3:28 AM ^
Easily one of my favorites of the series, and definitely one of the better films of the summer. Also for anyone into to rap/hip-hop and wants to hear Ludacris go crazy check out Too Easy-Tyrese ft. Ludacris. Tyrese Gibson's parts are mostly you're basic auto-tuned whatever. Not bad, not good. Ludacris' part is some of his best, in my opinion. Well, you wanted what was on my mind and that was it.
Michigan-wise, I can't wait to see our defense not give 15 yard cushions to receivers. I also look forward to see us going 10-2. I know everyone is saying 8-4, but that means we would lose every single competitive game, something I don't see happening. To pass my time M-W, classes and then basketball until I can't run anymore. Thursday and Friday, classes and watching football. If anyone wanted to stalk me, there's my exciting life. I also suggest you seek some professional help.
August 27th, 2011 at 3:59 AM ^
and I'm extremely jealous
August 27th, 2011 at 4:33 AM ^
somebody doesn't like late night fun.
August 27th, 2011 at 4:36 AM ^
who's the one downvoting everything?
August 27th, 2011 at 4:40 AM ^
who wasn't hugged enough as a kid, apparently.
We could fight hate with love and turn this into a hippie posbang fest. Just sayin'.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:38 AM ^
And with nothing better to do than neg everything on the board.
August 27th, 2011 at 4:38 AM ^
Anyone anyone...
Other than that I believe Al Borges will be tremendous if the O-line stays healthy.
I just had pancakes down out Dupar's this evening @ the grove here in LaLa. Their hotcakes are ridiculous! I'm looking forward to comparing pancakes and a plethora of other assorted high-caloric-intake-binge-worthy delights upon my arrival in Ann Arbor.
Dave Brandon...Derpa Derp!
August 27th, 2011 at 4:39 AM ^
Yet, I've been up all night ,this should go well! lol, anyways 7 long days until we're kicking off! I can't wait that long!!!
August 27th, 2011 at 4:58 AM ^
Was out drinking with my brother. Got home, fired up the pc, had a random funny thought that turned into this photoshop. Will probably not seem as funy when I sober up but whatevah...
August 27th, 2011 at 5:16 AM ^
+1 from me OP just on that GIF alone, WTF was he thinking? You gots to bail immediately when you see an object headed straight for your cock and balls. Sucks to be him, that hurt my junk just watching it, always funny when it's someone else though.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:17 AM ^
August 27th, 2011 at 5:20 AM ^
Any good pictures from down in the dirty south?
August 27th, 2011 at 6:02 AM ^
August 27th, 2011 at 6:08 AM ^
Layover btw Detroit to Boston (yea, doesn't make much sense). Spent some time in a bar in the airport talking football w/ some SEC fans. I always thought they hated the Big 10 but they had nothing but really great things to say about Michigan, Denard, etc. This was around January, after the Bowl game, but they thought that Michigan was on their way back up, and mentioned hoping to never have to play against Denard.
Frankly, I don't blame them.
So what do you do that brought you out to Irvine?
August 27th, 2011 at 6:19 AM ^
August 27th, 2011 at 6:24 AM ^
I only know what 3 of those words are.
August 27th, 2011 at 6:51 AM ^
Is this a bad time to talk about process management and process improvement methods then?
August 27th, 2011 at 3:36 PM ^
You can talk all you want...I am still in a bit of a daze..
August 27th, 2011 at 7:53 AM ^
are the airports really nuts right now with the hurricane? i have a flight sunday morning and while my flight wont be stopping/landing on the coast, i'm wondering if its going to be really crowded with people trying to find a way home everywhere.
August 27th, 2011 at 8:00 AM ^
From the PANYNJ site:
"Due to Hurricane Irene, all Port Authority Airports will close to arriving domestic and international flights at noon tomorrow. The five airports will remain open for departing flights pending further updates. Please check with your carrier before coming to JFK. There will be limited mass transit access to the airport. The MTA will begin to shutdown all train, bus, and subway services throughout the city and on Long Island starting at 12:00 p.m. At the same time, NJ Transit will suspend all rail operations and at 6:00 p.m., all bus operations will be suspended. Visit the transit agencies websites for more up to date news on their operations. You can also visit www.panynj.com for updated info and weather for all "
August 27th, 2011 at 8:23 AM ^
man, that is nuts. we are very lucky that my grandpa is staying with us, by chance, this week.... he lives in an assisted living place in queens and doesn't even realize there is a hurricane coming.
August 27th, 2011 at 6:25 AM ^
I am up with my less-than-well daughter (bad allergies more than anything),who has insisted on Spongebob Squarepants to start the morning.
August 27th, 2011 at 9:42 AM ^
I too will mark the passage of time in this thread. I am sitting in one of the libraries on campus, waiting for my review class to start. I had a fun bike ride to start my day, and I look forward to many hours of taking notes and doing practice passages. I've been DOMINATING on my practice tests lately, so my confidence is up. Less than a week to go, and then the testing phase is over.
August 27th, 2011 at 11:23 AM ^
One week til season starts, and I feel like Brian hasn't really given us any season preview type material
August 27th, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
He was too busy putting Coda #37 on the RR era.
August 27th, 2011 at 2:22 PM ^
But FCS is now the NCAA's "top tier" and Kent State plays in the "Midwestern Athletic Conference." Wow.

Did the MAC change its name? I always thought it was the Mid-American Conference
August 27th, 2011 at 3:46 PM ^
I was shocked that the writer didn't know that or chose to guess where Kent State is from.
