Wake Up! It's Game Day!
Good morning again, MGoCommunity!
It's been a very interesting week in the wake of assault in the tunnel. It will be nice to have a game tonight, hopefully a blowout, and to go into next week with no unnecessary bullshit that overshadows a victory. Obviously, I think Michigan wins big, but perhaps not as big as we'd all like because I think they will have subs in early to prevent injury to key players. My prediction: 41-7, and JJ goes over the top to Roman Wilson for a 61-yard TD.
What are you all doing with the whole day ahead of us? I'll be putting the finishing touches on a 3-minute thesis, and I probably won't be tuning in until 3:30 for Tennessee-Georgia. There's a lot of great games today. Enjoy, and Go Blue!

My first rivalry game with Rutgers as a New Jersey resident. Time to watch my new state burn
November 5th, 2022 at 7:10 AM ^
Will you be representing the Maize and Blue at the game?
November 5th, 2022 at 7:19 AM ^
Im saying thanks for another 8pm game. Im 12 hours ahead of Eastern Standard here and very grateful we haven’t had any 3:30 games yet this year. Get to wake up to a real rivalry game tomorrow.
November 5th, 2022 at 7:23 AM ^
Wakey wakey eggs and bac-y
coffee first
get the chores done this morning so the rest of the day we football
crush the Rutger, drive their fans before you and hear the lamentations of their … well every one of them.
November 5th, 2022 at 7:40 AM ^
It's a Honey do day around here with football check ins throughout the day in anticipation of the good guys in white taking down the Scarlet Knights.
GO BLUE!
November 5th, 2022 at 7:44 AM ^
Being that the game is at 7:30P
November 5th, 2022 at 7:57 AM ^
Up early. Grocery shopping done and the sunrise is beautiful. I’m heading out for a walk and ready for some football. Go Blue!
November 5th, 2022 at 7:59 AM ^
Playing pickleball and staining the back deck. Might go to Hone Depot - don’t know if there will be enough time. Gonna be a nice, little Saturday.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:48 AM ^
At first I thought "staining the back deck" was a euphemism for something that would involve changing your shorts.
November 5th, 2022 at 7:59 AM ^
With the first watch-worthy game starting at 3:30, it's a (nice and warm) "get it done" kinda day before winter snows show up and outdoor tasks become impossible. Going to use the new pressure washer finally, should be fun.
Attended the 78-0 beatdown; don't think we'll see a repeat as the 2 and 3 deep players see time.
Been looking at a nice bottle of wine we've been saving for years. Might go really well with dinner around game time. Don't drink very much any longer, but tonight is looking like a nice, relaxing, "got it all done so why not" kind of evening.
49-10 if I had to guess.
Hey! Have a great day! 😁
November 5th, 2022 at 8:01 AM ^
There are some really good games being played today. I’m taking my grandson to the Northwood football game today. And GO ARMY, BEAT AIR FORCE!!
November 5th, 2022 at 8:02 AM ^
son's college game - road trip! will not be home in time to see the michigan game, but so be it.
November 5th, 2022 at 9:16 AM ^
Safe travels!
November 5th, 2022 at 8:02 AM ^
Don’t yell at me to wake up. That job is for my wife and kids…
GO BLUE!!!!
November 5th, 2022 at 8:03 AM ^
Coffee is made, my son actually got up on his own, car is packed.
On to Piscataway for an away win against our dreaded rival.
Let’s. Go. Blue.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:23 AM ^
Have fun, and Go Blue!
November 5th, 2022 at 8:04 AM ^
It's mow the lawn one last time here in West Virginia day.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:38 AM ^
And all these years I thought you were living in the desert. Disappointed.
November 5th, 2022 at 9:56 AM ^
Same here - WTH???
November 5th, 2022 at 8:43 AM ^
Be careful mowing around the cacti.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:09 AM ^
Big rivalry game, let’s go!
November 5th, 2022 at 8:09 AM ^
Gym, walk, ft with one daughter, GA vs. Tenn. with an eye on Clemson due to run out of good luck vs. ND, walk, Michigan game. In other words, very little to nothing. Predicting a good day for Michigan fans.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:10 AM ^
Go Blue! Beat Rutger.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:18 AM ^
I got home from work at 6am , dog woke the wife up and she came down stairs to chat. After about 30 minutes she said "should WE even go back to sleep at this point ?" now I'm wondering if I slept walked from 630p last night to 6am this morning. Oldest has soccer this morning and early after noon. Once we finish with that, coming home and watching the afternoon and night games.
Go Blue
November 5th, 2022 at 8:52 AM ^
Ugh. You might be in for a sleep deprived, zombie-like day.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:28 AM ^
In New Jersey. Heading down to the game early this afternoon to catch the Rutger experience if there is any. Then the game. Back to the hotel tonight. Early wake up. Roll out of bed and back to Michigan.
Nice day here.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:29 AM ^
Go Air Force! Beat Army!!
November 5th, 2022 at 8:30 AM ^
Currently being sloth-like in bed. Tasks for today:
- yard work
- run
- try to fix a torchiere lamp
- dinner somewhere
- watch UM-Rutgers, while my wife and her parents go to the symphony
November 5th, 2022 at 8:40 AM ^
I've seen claims on twitter (yes, it's a shitshow) that Mazi Smith is hurt and won't make the trip. Has anybody seen any evidence for that?
November 5th, 2022 at 9:17 AM ^
I remember his legs were cramping up late in the MSU game. May be he pulled a muscle and they are going to rest him the next couple of games.
November 5th, 2022 at 9:53 AM ^
As far as I know, there was no mention on WTKA all week about Mazi. Any news might be revealed during their pregame show this afternoon.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:49 AM ^
Lets gooooo , Its Thump Butgers day!
November 5th, 2022 at 8:49 AM ^
Rainy morning down here so no yard work. Not the best day for tailgating, but if it clears up I might wander over to campus to check out the scene. Still hate Kelly, but I'm pulling for the Bayou Bengals to take down Bama tonight.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:55 AM ^
Premier League games all start at 11? Garbage.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:58 AM ^
In Show Low Arizona today visiting with family I haven't seen in a very long time. We're going to go ride razors most of the day and stop to do a little fishing if the opportunity presents itself. And watch the big game at 4:30!
November 5th, 2022 at 10:00 AM ^
Fishing in Arizona? Did you buy the ocean front property?
November 5th, 2022 at 9:05 AM ^
Doing some kitchen demo, involving much noise, sweat & plaster dust. By kick off I'll be ready for a cold beer and a bourbon neat.
November 5th, 2022 at 9:23 AM ^
Bourbon ftw!
November 5th, 2022 at 10:11 AM ^
Have you revisited the Mammoth Rye? Hope you are happy with it 👍.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:20 AM ^
I like it. It's staying in the rv to be my rye after the Willett is gone. We have a couple more rv trips planned before the end of the year. I don't know if the bottle will last into 2023. :)
November 5th, 2022 at 11:40 AM ^
Really enjoyed the Blackened Willett 👍. Maybe I can find one on my travels this winter.
So glad you like it. It was a unexpected find😆🥃
November 5th, 2022 at 9:09 AM ^
I’m awake
November 5th, 2022 at 9:10 AM ^
I’m in NYC right now with some friends, driving over to Piscataway for the game later today.
November 5th, 2022 at 9:15 AM ^
A nice fall day with coffee in hand and some xm beef stew in the crock pot.
My mgolittlegirl cuddled up next to me watching her favorite movie Dorothy (the wizard of oz).
Life is good!
November 5th, 2022 at 9:30 AM ^
Nice!
My 1st little girl (well, she's now in her 30s) has always loved The Wizard of Oz too---so much so that her mom sewed her a Dorothy costume when she was 6 and she took our schnauzer "Riley" along (as Toto, of course) trick or treating.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:32 AM ^
That's the plan for next year (except we can't sew so it'll be store bought costumes). Same age!
November 5th, 2022 at 9:15 AM ^
I hope they work on the intermediate to long pass game and get Anthony and CJ back in the swing of things. OSU and even IL will be all about stopping the run. JJ is going to need to throw and he needs some practice heading into this game. Today and nest Saturday will be perfect times to start throwing longer passes.
I could see UM 70 - Rutgers 13. If they stay with the more conservative route, may be UM 41 - Rutgers 12.
November 5th, 2022 at 9:24 AM ^
Sipping my 2nd Michigan Mug of coffee and contemplating a bicycle ride if and when there's a long enough break in today's rainy weather (92 miles on the bike trail logged in the last 4 days).
I'll peek in on the MGoBoard and the noon games from time to time, but from 3:30 thru midnight (or later) I'll have two TVs tuned to CFB and bits of Game 6 of the World Series during commercial breaks.
GO BLUE!! Beat Rutger!!
November 5th, 2022 at 9:52 AM ^
I'm going to mulch some leaves by mindlessly driving the tractor in circles around the yard. The'll watch some football leading into the best game of the day at 7:30.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:19 AM ^
Indoor soccer game for my daughter today. Trying to watch the 3:30 games on my phone I guess. Go Blue!!
