A soliloquy...Channelling my inner John Winger

So we're all Wolverines, we're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all crazy enough to be Michigan fans. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wroooong with us. Something seriously wrong with us - we're college football fans. But we're MICHIGAN Football Fans!! We've been kicking ass since 1879!!! We're nine and O! Now we don't have to worry about whether or not we've stolen any signs. We don't have to worry about whether Tony Petitti wants to have us hung. All we have to doooo...is to be the great Michigan Wolverine fan....that is inside each one of us.

Now do what I do, and say what I say.

And make me proud.

 

Let's Fucking Go!!!

I’ve been in South America of vacation for the past 9 days. I’m on the way to the airport hours before my flight right now just to get the best uninterrupted chance of catching this game. Been following this story obsessively. Feels like today is a statement game. So excited. Go blue.

I usually do not get emotional about football, but today... Dropkick Murphys come to mind:

The Gauntlet

Well, I just got back from a break in the fight
I was weighing in heavy but still feeling alright
All I hear in the distance, mines and shells
Here come the sirens wailing, another attack to be repelled

Do you think we're gonna make it?
I don't know unless we try
You could sit here scared to move or we could take them by surprise
Well, it's submission that they want
It's surrender that they need
And when we're doing it their way, their aims will be achieved

They're gonna come when you're not ready
When you're not too well-prepared
They're gonna prey upon your weakness
No man's soul is ever spared
You've got to stand up, yeah, and fight them
Show them what it's all about
This man is not for sale, there will be no backing down

Stand up and fight!
And I'll stand up with you
We shall succeed
Stand up and fight!
And I'll stand up with you

They won't get me, they won't get me
Though they never cease to try
They won't get me, they won't get me
I would rather fight and die

They won't get me, they won't get me
Well my friend, will they get you?
When they get you, when they get you
Tell me what are you gonna do?

Do you think we're gonna make it?
I don't know unless we try
You could sit here scared to move or we could take them by surprise
It's submission that they want
It's surrender that they need
When we're doing it their way, their aims will be achieved

They're gonna come when you're not ready
When you're not too well-prepared
They're gonna prey upon your weakness
No man's soul is ever spared
You've got to stand up, yeah, and fight them
Show them what it's all about
This man is not for sale, there will be no backing down

Stand up and fight!
And I'll stand up with you
We shall succeed
Stand up and fight!
And I'll stand up with you
