OT: Offseason Doldrums, What do you do
I wound up in a Woodson(hallowed be his name) youtube wormhole and it was fun to see Grbac throw right at him as a rookie. I would of advised against, but I was 14 at the time. So when you get bored; youidk dial up some Denard, Brady, Walker, Roundtree, Perry, Edwards Killfest(comes with a free Spartan helmet), Tai Streets or Forcier ND or IU. Maybe a certain game idk, I watched the Illinois game of endless scoring the other day for no reason. Although I did follow it up with the Drew Henson OSU game, nice little night on the couch(ssshh don't tell her) I do believe the title on The Blade front page was Mich(again & again). GO BLUE.
I rarely watch that stuff anymore...it just doesn't feel right when you're not any good.
I've also found myself not caring as much about the national landscape of college football over the summer. When Michigan was good I'd buy a couple preview magazines and I'd follow everything that was going on. I could name my own personal Preseason All-American Team if I wanted and be pretty accurate. Now? I really don't crank up until those countdown videos come around in the fall.
I remember thinking during that four-loss stretch that things could not get worse. How spoiled and naive of me
Sad to say it, but just last week I completely recreated the 2008 Michigan team on NCAA 14 and have been playing the next few seasons as the team that could have been. The Brandon Minor, Carlos Brown, Kevin Grady running back trio sure were a success those first few years.
I don't want to dredge up too many bad memories but from my limited experience as Rich Rodriguez's virtual offensive coordinator while sitting on my couch and drinking a beer; Carson Butler sure could have been better utilized as a hybrid Tight End!!
NCAA dynasties are always fun, until about 10-15 years down the line when the game gets out of control and the National Championship game is Army vs. North Texas or something crazy like that.

start with going outside...
It seems the Steelhead/Kings are slow arriving this year.
I'll be in the UP next week! Looking to put some walleye in the freezer and musky on my camera. Heard a cold front is coming through Monday though. Still, a day in the UP beats anything down here.
slow everywhere. Saginaw Bay is lights out for eyes right now.
Your Mother, Trebek.

The name's Fuck Lion, not MUSTARD TIGER, pal.
I log in to this site and read the dumbest shit and get sad about how horrible the commentors have become and how some people blindly follow some dipshit faux recruiting analyst who thinks he knows something, but he truly knows equal to or less than literally anyone else about the stuff.
I also like to jog.
that His Dudeness fellow and that other jackass Gobgoblue are the worst.
Drink, play chess..........screw....
A lot of them. All different kinds.

Every day.
Oh, there's plenty to do around here in the OT season - I work on maybe one day having completely viable vegetable gardens rather than the constant experimentation that is making my wife question my sanity, not to mention reading, catching up on TV shows and movies, running, biking, occasionally stealing away for a few days here and there to recharge and also watch my neighbors celebrate the 4th from mid-June to late August.
I also seem to moderate a blog.
Play with my kids. Advance my career. Take care of my lawn. Enjoy the sunshine. Golf. Do nice things for my wife. Fire up the Weber. Help plan the 4th of July parade.
I know - I'm a nut. These doldroms are a bitch.
Offseason schmoffseason. First off it only started about 11:30 last night as far as I'm concerned. Second....it's summer in Michigan. Time to go out and enjoy a life that doesn't revolve around football. I feel sorry for anyone who calls these the doldrums.
......except on Mondays, my golf league tees off at 4pm, so I need to get there by 3 so I can hit balls and have a beer. At 2pm I start thinking about leaving at 3 and having a beer, so really I'm working a half day every Monday.

Jim Tobelson for being a Chatty Cathy.
They brew 10,000 bottles of beer there a day. I drink 45 off the assembly line, and I'm the asshole.

Work on the yard, garden, general home improvement stuff, and lots of trips up north. I love the offseason, just not what goes on on this here site during that time.
Get outdoors people. We're becoming a zombie nation, and it's terribly sad and depressing.
Lots of reading, hitting the gym, road biking, concerts, and hopefully playing more euchre.
