Oh, good. I worried my mind was going* and had seen 8 yesterday and forgot.
* Probably already gone but I'm keeping up appearances.

Apologies for the tardiness within these single-digit days (it’s been a productive but busy Band Week!). The best consolation I can provide is double the content, beginning with a triple-feature for the videos!
First, in honor of #7 — let’s just run the highlight reel…
Then, in honor of #8 (celebrating the 25th anniversary of his freshman team) — considering its place in the topic of discussion at B1G Media Days, here’s the last regular-season closer that wasn’t OSU…
Let’s watch an A.C. highlight reel too while we’re at it…
Enjoy!!!!

Today’s jewelry is a brief return to watches: specifically the one awarded to the 2021 Wolverines who made the trip to the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Orange Bowl.
There’s no picture of it unfortunately (the Ultimate Memorabilia Guide has completed its contribution), but if someone has/finds one that’d be great. It’s probably safe to assume that it looks relatively similar to the Tourneau we featured in early July from Michigan’s last Orange Bowl appearance (2016), with some sort of homage to the CFP worked in there:

Never forget that naked boot leg for a TD by Henson at the Shoe!! Was a glorious TD and Victory!!
Have been waiting for it again over the last few decades but do not recall it being called again, in the same game situation, on the goal line.

It is gray today. Misty.
Cool.
Short sleeves reveal goose bumps instead of sweat.
It may be a day to break out the old Michigan sweatshirt.
It is that special day that comes every August
When it *feels*
like fall.
It feels like football.
Football is coming.

Then the next day it's 92 and you realize it's not October.
