How will you spend your NSD???
I'm not going to pay any attention at all, I probably won't even open MGoBlog until just before I head into work ( I work midnights ).
Is there anybody else out there who doesn't care about recruiting?
How many of you will be glued to espnu all day waiting to see who goes where?
And how many of you will be anxiously doing what You're not supposed to be doing?

I probably won't remember that tomorrow's NSD until I get home from work. I try not to let decisions of high school students impact my life any more than absolutely necessary.

No Shoes Day?

Neanderthal Sex Dillema
Which would be a really cool name for a band

Shoes Untied Like Denard Robinson Day?

Well, if whatever hits Columbus that's supposed to hit us, I'll probably be at home and having myself a good old fashioned throwback snowday of playing Nintendo.
February 4th, 2014 at 6:38 PM ^
I will enjoy having a life...
February 4th, 2014 at 6:38 PM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 6:39 PM ^
Working. Cuz I needs moneys.
February 4th, 2014 at 6:40 PM ^
I will check at the end of the day to make sure that everyone signed, but were really not in it for anyone anymore. Kind of a disapointing end to the recruiting cycle, though I am not suprised.
February 4th, 2014 at 6:40 PM ^
Kate Upton and I are having brunch and then going on a hike. A usual Wednesday.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:04 PM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 6:42 PM ^
Normally... School, homework, and then Michigan bball at 6:30... Will check once and only once just for any surprises, good and/or bad.
February 4th, 2014 at 6:48 PM ^
I'm taking the day off. This is my holiday.
- Wake up at 5:30
- Get White Castle breakfast and bring it home
- MGoBlueTV signing day special from 6:30-9am while updating the 'books as the faxes come in and each become official.
- Catch up on the WTKA signing day morning show with the podcasts and watch the ESPN coverage until the presser at 2.
- WTKA Signing Day party after
- Michigan Basketball vs nebraska at 6:30
February 4th, 2014 at 7:50 PM ^
What's more, he might do better to actually go to school instead of playing hookie to watch faxes come in over the internet all morning.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:56 PM ^
Don't act like you NEVER skipped a day your senior year of HS.
I've worked my ass to be able to take a day off once in awhile.
February 4th, 2014 at 8:03 PM ^
No, actually, I didn't. And if I did, it certainly wouldn't have been for anything so frivolous as sitting around eating White Castle and watching a fax machine tell me where other people are going to college.
February 4th, 2014 at 8:12 PM ^
Well then. With that I would like to say that you and I couldn't be anymore different.
But the world would be boring if everyone was the same.
February 4th, 2014 at 8:22 PM ^
Skipped quite frequently. Sledding, smoking, partying in the middle of the afternoon, weekly trips to Cedar Point -- not sit around and watch recruiting.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
I've worked my ass to be able to take a day off once in awhile.
When I called "in sick" on my first job - a summer job after HS graduation at Meijer - my dad told me something I'll never forget. In 25 years, he never called in sick.
And I sure as hell wasn't working my ass off compared to him or anything really.
And high school is unequivocally not working your ass off.
And if you're going to skip a day in HS, you better at least be trying to touch a boob somewhere in there. Not "watching" RECRUITING.
/oldman'd even though I'm in my 20s
February 4th, 2014 at 10:39 PM ^
Yeah.....there isn't any boob touching going on in my life.
February 4th, 2014 at 11:29 PM ^
I can't possibly imagine why.
February 5th, 2014 at 6:56 AM ^
Yeah.....there isn't any boob touching going on in my life.
You can never have too much boob touching.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:29 PM ^
Also, obligatory "don't skip school" PSA:
February 5th, 2014 at 2:53 AM ^
glad I listened to the warning my parents gave ME some 30+ years ago about following the crowd!
February 4th, 2014 at 11:09 PM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 6:45 PM ^
I admit to following recruiting at least to a certain point, albeit somewhat passively, but generally, I will just look at Michigan's list at the end of the day, see who signed and when and that's more or less that for me. Wednesday is generally a terrible day for me to follow anything because the staff meetings with both my own group and my fellow supervisors are that day, as well as two Continuous Improvement update sessions.
In the mod role, I am sure there will be moments where either myself or others will intervene in recruiting-related threads. Actually, I started following recruiting more once I became a moderator here so I could anticipate issues.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:31 PM ^
although the part you didn't mention was the sheer amount of recruiting content and comments on the site. There's a lot of stuff I read now that I never did before.
February 4th, 2014 at 6:46 PM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 6:47 PM ^
gonna get up around 10, drop a big deuce, smoke a bowl and fire up the puter. If McDowell committs here, might crack a 12 pack. If not, smoke another bowl hit the hot tub in snorkle and fins around lunch, like any other day.
February 4th, 2014 at 6:49 PM ^
This is why. You win, sir.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:00 PM ^
Can we swap schedules?
February 4th, 2014 at 9:46 PM ^
I have snorkle envy.
February 4th, 2014 at 6:49 PM ^
No class untill 3:30, so waking up at around 7. Will have the MGoBlueTV signing day special on the laptop, as well as Twitter, MGoBlog and Wolverine247 tabs open. And ESPNU on the TV.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:11 PM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 7:15 PM ^
Update my My Space page as I rock out to Creed.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:21 PM ^
Gonna go hang a State banner on Mrs McDowell's front porch.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:21 PM ^
It's just another day. Recruiting is of absolutely no interest to me whatsoever, and I find the whole exercise of watching a live fax machine feed to be creepy.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:27 PM ^
It's not a constant webcam of a fax machine.
Watch last year's show. It's a show hosted by Marcus Ray talking about the players and they OCCASIONALLY put the fax machine on when something is happening.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:24 PM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 7:26 PM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 7:30 PM ^
I will be sending out constant snarky tweets about fax machines
February 4th, 2014 at 7:31 PM ^
Off, I got my subs my beers and my athlon guide ready to go. I'm expecting hand ,fournette , and mcdowell to flip to michigan early.
February 4th, 2014 at 8:15 PM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 7:34 PM ^
We'll be doing a liveblog starting around 10:00 tomorrow.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:40 PM ^
I'll probably check rivals or something after I get home from work, see where some uncommitted guys went and call it a day.
February 4th, 2014 at 7:44 PM ^
