There are...
...days...
...until Jonas Mouton makes another celebratory visit to the northwest corner of Michigan Stadium.
August 27th, 2010 at 8:28 AM ^
There are...
8 more days until we transition to validated angst based on actual performance vice unvalidated angst based on potential performance.
August 27th, 2010 at 8:30 AM ^
Until we drive a Hard Edge between UConn and any hope of a glory season.
August 27th, 2010 at 8:33 AM ^
8 days until I have a hard edge in my pants as I walk through the gates. Too much?
August 27th, 2010 at 10:22 AM ^
I think it's telling...
of course if you don't have a hard edge as you walk through the gates, that'd be telling.
August 27th, 2010 at 8:38 AM ^
we will wake up in the glory of an official
GAME WEEK!!!???
August 27th, 2010 at 8:39 AM ^

To your avatar/handle, and to your expedited drinking schedule.
August 27th, 2010 at 9:19 AM ^
If I even get any sleep...

3PM stumble to seat
August 27th, 2010 at 9:27 AM ^
blue drank. I miss college.
August 27th, 2010 at 9:33 AM ^
Please, what is Canadian orange juice? Can you give us a hint of what's in the blue drink?
August 27th, 2010 at 10:09 AM ^
God, I hope it doesn't involve slicing Canadians in half and reaming them.
August 27th, 2010 at 7:22 PM ^
Excellent point. Obviously there are no oranges in Canada, so it must be a euphemism of some sort. I'm just not familiar with it. Maybe it's orange juice tinctured with Canadian Club?
August 27th, 2010 at 5:07 PM ^
I don't know if it is the same, but the blue drank I know of is made of Sugar, Water, and Blue.
August 27th, 2010 at 9:03 AM ^

NEVER have Thai food the night before a big event such as this. I repeat, never. And never mix with alcohol. You'll be in pain.
August 27th, 2010 at 10:00 AM ^
I've done it before, my stomach/tract can handle it.
We'll have to see what my victory-lap friend is feeling... but yeah, it's going to be an awesome time
August 27th, 2010 at 10:13 AM ^
Fair enough. To be fair, the last time I had issues is because I had the hot chicken pad thai and a cuban sandwich the same night. That may have had something to do with the issues.
August 27th, 2010 at 10:04 AM ^
doesn't accept your apology.
Your liver has made an appointment for your liver and you to get couples therapy.
August 27th, 2010 at 10:26 AM ^
we had a great (if a little abusive) relationship my senior year of college. Now, it's like we never get together for heavy drinking anymore (stupid getting a job after graduating). Sure, we have a beer or so occasionally, but the 15-20 drink nights (on average) 4 times a week are a thing of the past. Occasionally I go back and try to rekindle the spark.... but my liver doesn't reciprocate. I'm like, come on honey! We'll do things just how we used to! and my liver decides, NOPE, you're going to pay for this one.
If therapy suggests going on these 15-20 drink nights more regularly... would that appease or anger my liver?
August 27th, 2010 at 10:00 AM ^
days away right now. Trees around here are starting to turn red too :/. Where is time going? 8 days until Michigan begins their turn around year! Hail yes!
August 27th, 2010 at 10:20 AM ^
Informative title?
August 27th, 2010 at 2:40 PM ^
You must be new here.
August 27th, 2010 at 10:36 AM ^
overly excited when I see the "There are..." title on the Mgoboard.
