I stopped posting on MGBlog because I thought that I was bad luck. I punished myself for the benefit of Michigan Athletics. It has been absolutely brutal. I have missed you all. Tonight, my heart is full. I grew up in a buckeye family, and he endured bullshit for so many years because I root for Michigan. tonight I endure no more. I get to revel in this victory with all of you. I don’t even know what to say. I love you all. I am sitting here on my patio on a windy night in South Florida having a victory cigar, knowing that we are in this together  Go Blue. 

Um, no. Just no.

Um, no. Just no.

Man, that would be nice. I’d love to see Karlaftis come. That dude looks like Shrek or Wreck It Ralph smashing everyone and everything in his highlight films.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Pacemaker is in, I’m feeling good, and watching the boys smoke The Rutger. Thanks for the good vibes last night. Let’s go!!!

Tonight I’m drinking water, then nothing after midnight. In the hospital, scheduled to get a pacemaker in the morning. On one hand, it sucks. On the other, I know it’s necessary. Luckily, I should be able to relax and watch a Rutger beat down tomorrow afternoon.

I like Brandy, mainly because he is such a good ambassador for the program. However, I HATE, HATE, HATE “sack time.”

We should hope that the teams on our schedule win their games, especially if they are playing teams that were not on our schedule. IU, MSU (barf), Wisc or NW (take your pick), Neb, Mary, PSU. I can’t do it. I’ll be rooting for Purdue, FSU, Navy, Ok St, and Kan St.

Hate to see that. Attrition is one of the things I dislike most about college sports. Wherever he ends up, I hope he does well.

I miss those cool Midwestern football Saturdays.

I can’t stand the thought of losing to MSU. I must confess that I’m glad that I don’t have to spend the rest of the year surrounded by their fans. One benefit of living in Florida.

Had an All Day earlier as well, then had a Pumpking hanging by the pool. Beautiful evening here. Is anyone else nervous about the game tomorrow?

That was my last trip to the Big House. I remember it fondly, but I’m sad that I haven’t made it back.

A week late, but I got to…

A week late, but I got to see George Johnson last week as Martin County played here at Okeechobee. He was pretty impressive. I know he’s not coming to play QB, but he made some really nice throws. One was at least 60 yards in the air. He had one play where they fumbled, Chobee picked it up and went the other way. Johnson ran the guy down from about 30 yards back and took the ball like Clarett vs Miami. He is not as big as I expected (maybe 5’10”), but he’s electric. I’m excited to see what he’ll do in AA.

It’s clear how important…

It’s clear how important this blog is to so many of us. It’s like a family. I’m happy to help.

Living in south Florida, I…

Living in south Florida, I’ve been through several, with some worse than others (Wilma was a bitch when I was in Miami in 05, and Irma destroyed our pool screen, our roof, and our fence last year). Honestly, we’ve never had an issue with water, but we always make sure to have plenty on hand. You can fill a bathtub if you have a hard time finding water, but you’ll probably be ok. The biggest issues have been wind and power. Put away anything that can fly, especially lawn furniture, trampolines, etc. If you have kids or pets, it can be terrifying. Make sure you have board games, flash lights, and BATTERIES. Having a grill with plenty of propane is important. Be prepared for several days without power. Man, I feel for you guys, though I think we may have one coming right behind it. Maybe we can pin a thread for people to ask questions or get help if needed. I’ll answer whatever I can. Good luck and stay safe.

This is unfortunate, as it…

This is unfortunate, as it will probably make things weird going forward. I like Rod and Mario, but Rod is really a bit comical. I’d rather keep Mario if we only get to keep one. I could listen to Dickerson announce anything and I like how he and Price call the games. Keep them together.

Gibby? The games are ROUGH when he calls most of the time, due to his monotonous delivery and his one word responses.

Wow. If true, that is…

Wow. If true, that is something.

Maybe 8-4. I’m not confident against any of the better teams we play.

Yes

Yes

I don’t think most of us…

I don’t think most of us need to chill. On the contrary, I’m not even mad. I’m disappointed in how the game went. I’m disappointed that we are right back where we were last year. And the year before. And the damn near 20 years before that. I’m disappointed that I could have been more productive today, instead of acting like a kid on Christmas Eve. I may not watch next week, as I’ll have family things to do. It is what it is. What it is not is promising. 

We’re not an elite football…

We’re not an elite football program other than in name. We’re not. Michigan has the money and history to rival anyone, but you are not looking at an elite program. Elite school? Absolutely (for the record, I did not attend). Are we Northwestern or Iowa? No, but similar to them, we’re not competing for conference championships every year. We’re just not. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not getting so bummed about it. We’re not going 15-0 or winning the CFP. Nope. If we did, it would be awesome, but I don’t begin August believing it. We’ll win 9 or so games and hopefully go to a bowl in Florida, so I can go. But I’m not holding my breath for a B1G championship, especially when OSU is an elite program. Hey, you asked. Just my opinion.

Just not enough time, and we’re taking ours.

You can’t get mad at homer announcers. It’s the ND football network. They’re not paid to be objective.
