There are... (The End)
...days until Zack Novak (SG 2009-2012) sees the 2020 Michigan Wolverines take the field to play some football in 2020, starting TONIGHT in Minneapolis in the Battle for the Little Brown Jug.

Chick Dig Scars in the world of "There are..." means it's GameDay! Even though this season is already quite the weird one, I wish all of you the best in enjoying it. College Football is weird anyway, so what else is new? Attack it with an enthusiasm previously unknown to mankind, and let's have a real good time.
I hope you guys have enjoyed this year's countdown, no matter how stop-and-start it has been. Attached to this post is an extremely exciting surprise that will be the standard going forward in this little tradition I have had the pleasure of commandeering. Be sure to check that out.
Alright...Beat the Gophers and, for (finally) one last time on these for 2020, GO BLUE!!

There's only one video to close out with.
Enjoy the greatest Michigan Football documentary ever made before the season kicks off.
Thanks WolverineHistorian, Dr. Sap, and Wolverine Devotee for providing so many videos that make these countdown posts what they are. Here's to a great season to add to that legacy!

Make sure you throw on your 2020 Michigan Football Season Tee (Version 2.0) today!
I actually like this one a lot. Trying something new with the graphics, reasonably referencing the unprecedented nature of it, but keeping it refined...this will be a good one long term I think.

Please make sure to go check out Brian's free one-of-a-kind blessing book-sized annual preview week of CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT on the front page before the game. We're lucky to have a community like this to learn about our team, and the man who started it all and has endured for so long deserves the most of our love and thanks.
One day in the MGoBlog era, this time will fully break through, and I can already tell you right now...it'll be glorious.
Otherwise, College GameDay will be live from Minneapolis for our game at 9:00 AM this morning, and then we've got ourselves a 7:30 PM kick.
That's all I got. Thanks everyone, and I am going to finally get some sleep. Can't wait until GameDay. Go Blue!
EDIT: One last thing I should mention...
Let's dedicate this year's wrap-up "There are..." post to the future of the number zero in Michigan Football history.

This is The End...
Of our elaborate plans, The End.
of everything that stands, The End.
I'll never look into your eyes - again...

Thanks JWG. Your dedication to create these posts daily (and yearly) is impressive- as is the fact that you continue to do each one with a high level of quality. Well done, and go blue today!

Thank you, JWG. It's great that you do this, and as Indy Pete points out, great that it's consistently high quality stuff.
And as you put it, as RedRum said last night, as most of us say, it's great we've got this community.

Thank you Blue Vet! It wouldn't be the same without your dad jokes. Thanks for making your mark on this MGoTradition.

"...of commandeering."
Haha!! Yes, I remember a few years back that other people would post these every few days. Seems like three or four were on it. But you persevered and won out - like a professional day counter-downer!!! Thanks for keeping up with it, and the changes this year - with the 'The Story' featured - GREAT STUFF!!!
Go BLUE!!!! Au revoir, Gopher...
October 24th, 2020 at 8:35 AM ^
It can be said without contradiction: JWG counts!
October 24th, 2020 at 10:17 AM ^
Thanks 1VaBlue1! I saw an opportunity to build this into something really cool every year, and the rest is history. Glad you've enjoyed it.

High hopes. Expectations highly variable-do not know what to expect.
October 24th, 2020 at 10:44 AM ^
You've done the Lord's work this year, JWG.
From the bottom of my maize and blue heart, I thank you.
October 24th, 2020 at 2:11 PM ^
Thanks, Vlad - you’ve definitely always had my support too. Just check your elections.
October 24th, 2020 at 12:10 PM ^
Excellent work, JWG.
Your countdowns get better and better each season!
October 24th, 2020 at 2:13 PM ^
Thanks Rob - you’re the one who deserves some credit for doing all the amazing work mom-erating this shitshow.
Here’s to an even better one next year. For now though, I’ll refrain from posting much, comment more elsewhere, and enjoy this season.
Go Blue.
