Ugh, so happy the office is getting out at 3pm today - work is just not happening right now.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:19 AM ^
I've been here for an hour and a half today, only taken 3 calls, done jack other work. On the brightside, I only have a half day today so I can leave town (Chicago) and drive to Novi tonight for my Grandpa's 100th birthday celebration this weekend, so I'll be visiting Ann Arbor tomorrow. I doubt I'll get much done in the next 2.5 hours.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:20 AM ^
Let's hope Saban feels like this at the end of the game.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:28 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 10:38 AM ^
I still find it somewhat difficult to believe that Nick Saban has emotion.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:39 AM ^
This thought just struck me....is Nick Saban really Tom Izzo disguised in a Bama shirt? Ask yourself, have you ever seen the two of them in the room together at the same time?
Hmm....
August 31st, 2012 at 11:13 AM ^
he looked like Billy Bob Thornton.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:50 AM ^
He was talking about going to the Roller Disco later.
"C'mon! Funky Chicken!"
August 31st, 2012 at 10:21 AM ^
I think I have a problem.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:25 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 10:49 AM ^
there probably will be later in the day. i have to imagine they want the last one to include a lot of stuff about arriving in dallas, practice in jerryworld, etc.
i'm more just waiting for brian's preview.
August 31st, 2012 at 11:42 AM ^

Could not sleep last night and woke up at 515 for no reason so decided to head into work early to get out early. Not very successful at focusing on much right now either...
August 31st, 2012 at 10:37 AM ^
That is interesting given what they did to him/Michigan a few years ago.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:51 AM ^
That game is one of the 3 Michigan games I've been to in my life.
Unfortunately it's the one I remember best.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:37 AM ^
Anyone know what happened with the Henry V themed "Dear Diary" that was on the home page a few minutes ago? It was the St. Crispin's Day speech. Gave me chills.
I assume it was just posted too early or something, and will be back up later, but I feel like I've been horribly teased that I only got to read what was on the home page. By the time I clicked the jump, it was gone.
:(

This has been the longest summer of my life.
I've been doing slow and tedious statistcal analysis for a socilogy research assitantship.
I've been looking forward to the start of College, NFL, and European Football (Futbol)
And I've been counting down the days to my 21st birthday (next Thursday)
Now it's the last day of my tedious statistical research
The eve of Michigan Bama
And the week of my 21st.
FINALLY!

Anyone heading down to Dallas today? If so, give us unlucky bastards some updates in this thread today, just so we can live vicariously through you and pretend we're in the car/airport instead of sitting on our a--es at work.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:50 AM ^
I will only be in the office for another hour, which is probably just as well since I have not done too much other than look at the box scores from other games since I arrived here at 7 AM. Further, I probably would have snuck away in the afternoon regardless - if you've ever worked in a business / building where the majority of the people spend much of each day in the field, the day before a long weekend typically means that the building is a ghost town. The downside to today is that the bulti-in out involves taking my son for some tests because of what I shall describe as "lingering gastrointestinal issues", so it may not exactly be a fun afternoon off.
Through it all, thoughts of 8 PM tomorrow distract me. I am hoping that Saban's "Curse you, Michigan!" face is something like this:
August 31st, 2012 at 10:51 AM ^
I hope your son's pooper is okay!
August 31st, 2012 at 10:54 AM ^
I skipped ready LSA's post and just read this comment. It gave me a bit of a 'WTF' moment.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:57 AM ^
Ohhh boy, you're going to be one of those dads that loves to embarrass his kids in front of his friends, haha.

The Friday before Labor Day has to be close to the least productive work day of the year wven without the coming of FOOTBALL
August 31st, 2012 at 10:51 AM ^
Thankfully my office is letting out at noon today. Half of the people I work with are already gone, and the other half are not accomplishing anything. I'm hitting the refresh button every 10-15 minutes waiting to see if Brian has put up his preview.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:53 AM ^
The only thing keeping me focused right now is the fact that I need to decide what brand of whiskey to buy for tomorrow and planning consumption levels that will not leave me drooling on the floor before the game is over.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:57 AM ^
or something.....
August 31st, 2012 at 11:02 AM ^
Huh...

Random note not worthy of a thread, Stevie Brown will make the Giants final roster as a safety (not as a LB, but a safety). As a Giants fan I'm worried
Hearing S Stevie Brown will be on the Giants' final 53. Roster will be officially announced later today.

If todaz = "fall friday" then

I'm going to go get a cookie.
August 31st, 2012 at 11:36 AM ^
What happens if we don't achieve that step in the cycle? Does that mean we are stuck on the "Get Coffee and/or Cookie" step? And what if we don't like coffee? Can we substitute some other form of caffeine like a Coca-Cola or the like?
August 31st, 2012 at 11:44 AM ^
If you get back to your desk after getting coffee and a cookie - that would count.
August 31st, 2012 at 11:46 AM ^

Arts, Beats and Eats is getting warmed up on 3 sides of my office and my flight to Ft. Myers leaves at 5:30, so I'm not getting a whole lot accomplished right now either
August 31st, 2012 at 11:13 AM ^
Looking like Beer:30 is going to start much earlier than the usual 4:30 around here. Everyones just sitting around talking about football, might as well have a beer as well.
August 31st, 2012 at 11:14 AM ^
Edit: woops. double post. please delete.
August 31st, 2012 at 11:14 AM ^

I got to my office about 45 minutes ago and haven't even logged into my e-mail yet. Today, the computer is just for reading about football.
