I initially thought I might puke.  That quickly turned to a snicker. Then a chuckle. And a LOL. Then a full on guffaw. LFG!

One of the things that has…

One of the things that has made me happiest during the last several years of us getting to the top is the emergence of an elite, dominant O-line.  There's just nothing like it. Glad to see these men representing in the NFL.

Ish. This woulda been 1998-99 when that God-awful halo was there.

Yesterday, as I got off the plane from a weekend trip, the copilot...seeing my Michigan shirt... says "Go Bucks."  I just laughed and said "Three in a row, baby!" and kept on moving.

IMHO, Jaylen Harrell does not get nearly enough credit for the game-sealing play vs OSU. Harrell's pressure forced an off balance throw which gave Moore time to make the play.  If he doesn't get all up in McCord's face, it's likely a completion to Harrison.

I picked up my two front…

I picked up my two front page posters... Rose Bowl and Natty... from the Michigan Daily office last Friday. (I work just a few blocks from there.)  They are printing in order when orders were submitted, and the had a TON of orders. I ordered on Jan 12, picked up on Feb 16.

Wasn't commenting one way or the other on whether Moeller was successful or not, but since you brought it up... Moeller was .733 (.772 if you ignore the 3 ties) in 60 games. Carr was .753 in 162 games.  I would agree Carr was better for the simple fact he got us to a national championship. 

 

I'll never forget that…

I'll never forget that Hamilton kick. I was on a road trip listening to the radio. I think my throat still hurts from how loud I screamed that day.

I often wonder how the history of Michigan football from then until now would have played out had Gary Moeller not gotten himself booted.

Agreed, I hate that design. I bought something different instead (blue long sleeve tee that says MICHIGAN 2023 National CHAMPS Go Blue, with the Maize Block M below).

Just went to Dick's in Ann Arbor. They have a boat load of stuff. 

I will echo this sentiment…

I will echo this sentiment. At one point I was stuck in the middle of a sea of Husky fans waiting to get into the NRG center for alumni tailgate. They chanted their chants loudly. It was impressive. At no time did they get in our face or anything. I also found myself staying at the Washington marching band hotel (random choice on my part), which was all decorated with Washington stuff. The fans, band members... all friendly and respectful, and were gracious in defeat. I'm sure there must be some jerks in the crowd...every fan base has 'em... but I never saw it.

I cannot even describe how glorious it was to be at the Rose Bowl. 

Wow... good to know. Thanks.

Wow... good to know. Thanks.

I'm not quite to the freak…

I'm not quite to the freak out point yet. Just that I spent considerable effort getting all the other pieces in place (flight, car, airbnb, parking, parade tix, and talking my brother into going with)... that it sucks to be waiting on the MOST important piece. UGH.

Thanks for this. I'm hoping…

Thanks for this. I'm hoping it can be resolved one way or another by noon PT at the latest, as I wanna get in there early, hit the fan fest, etc.   But good to hear how your experience transpired the closer the game got. Thanks again.

Thanks. I've bought from…

Thanks. I've bought from them before, never had an issue.... but usually got the tix right away or soon after.  Have never had to wait like this before. I just want to be ready to pivot if I have to.

After reading many comments…

After reading many comments from a variety of sources, it sounds like getting out of the golf course parking lot post-game is an absolute horror.  I'm going to the parade, so I opted for the all-day parking pass at Parsons ($110). Will take shuttle to the game, then walk back. Good luck!

The fees on Stubhub,…

The fees on Stubhub, SeatGeek, etc. are downright criminal. I pulled the trigger on a pair of Rose Bowl tix shortly after it was announced. Good seats, so not tooooo upset about the price ($650/ea)... but fees were $200/ea. Bastards.

1 - yes

2 - There's usually a 13/4 upset. This year, it's either Furman over UVA, or Kent St over IU. For the usual 12/5 - everyone's hot on Charleston over SDSU. Which is why I'm avoiding that and picking Oral Roberts over Duke.

3 - Marquette, St Mary's, Alabama, Texas

4 - St. Mary's....what?? It's been a weird year. UNC went from #1 to not dancing. Both NW and PSU are in the field, while Michigan is not. The whole thing looks pretty wide open to me. St Mary's for the win.

Means I made a great decision to throw $5 at Jacksonville to win early in the 4th at +1000. Woohoo!

Spectacular. The "evisceration" photo of Edwards leaving #12 reeling in the dust is like the offensive version of the Alan Branch hit on Anthony Morelli from 2006. And the shot of Sainristil poking that ball loose to prevent a TD... that is money. Seriously, that one should get an award. Excellent work.

OSU punted 4 times. But I totally hear ya. Over and over again they picked up big 3rd or 4th down conversions, usually with some circus catch. It was most unnerving.  But Michigan overcame ALL of it. GO BLUE!

That phrase from Gus has become exhausting and has gotten old really quickly. Hell, I heard him use it during a Lions broadcast (I think re: Okudah). Not a fan of Gus at all. Can't wait to watch the replay on my DVR, except for having to listen to him. Ugh.

Lose: Cancel my hotel in Indy.  And wonder if I'll ever see us win The Game again in my lifetime. I'm 58. God willing, I still have a lot of years left.

I am always excited to see Michigan football. But I fear that excitement will wane rather quickly in a game that will be decided by halftime. 49-20 Bama.

I've been worried about Teske getting in foul trouble. Glad to see Austin Davis able to hold down the fort when that happened tonight. And the back-to-back dunks off the dish from Simpson were way fun. Keep it up Austin! Great team win. Go Blue!
